Two female Idaho students who were among the four killed in a quadruple homicide near the University of Idaho on November 13 had placed ten calls to an unidentified individual named ‘Jack’.
Police in Moscow think that between 3am and 4am, victims Kaylee Goncalvez, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, and Xana Kernodle, 20, were stabbed to death in their residence near campus.
Alivea Goncalvez, Kaylee’s sister, told Inside Edition that her sibling and Madison began calling Jack, whom she described as a ‘young man,’ at approximately half past two a.m. on the morning of the horrible killing.
Goncalvez stated, “Kaylee phones Jack six times between 2:26 and 2:44 a.m.”
Maddie calls Jack three times between 2:44 and 2:52 a.m., then Kaylee calls him for the last time at 2:52 a.m.
Kaylee’s social media posts depict her with a young man named Jack, but it is unclear if this is the same individual she and Madison were calling.
Kaylee may have had a stalker, since the 21-year-old reportedly complained of a stalker just months before her death.
Mark Fuhrman, a former LAPD investigator who worked on the 1994 killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in the OJ Simpson murder case, now resides in Idaho and disclosed that he learned this knowledge from one pupil.
“I spoke with one student, and I agree that it was twice removed from the person who said it, Kaylee, but Kaylee complained about a stalker two months before,” he stated on Fox News.
The bedroom of the two young women in the six-bedroom, three-bathroom residence who were not attacked was presumably avoided by the murderer.
Fuhrman stated, “Their explanation was that they heard parties and noise, but, as usual, said there was partying going on and locked the door.”
The two unharmed housemates are not suspects and have been working with the inquiry.
According to Goncalves, a man who was seen with two of the four slain Idaho students in their final hours has been ‘recognized’ and is ‘cooperating with police.’
The young man’s name has not yet been made public, but he was seen with Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves approaching a food truck on Sunday at 1:45 a.m., less than two hours before they were murdered in their house.
Chief James Fry of the Moscow Police Department told reporters on Wednesday that there were no traces of a forced entry at the residence when officers arrived to reports of an unconscious person at 11:58 p.m.
The autopsies of the four deceased students revealed that each had been stabbed numerous times, and some had defensive wounds, indicating that they had battled with the assailant and that no sexual assault occurred.
The victims were found in their beds, and County Coroner Cathy Mabbut described the killings as “personal.”
In addition, they stated that no arrests have been made to yet and that they are receiving assistance from the Idaho State Police and “other State and Federal law enforcement partners.”
The families of the murdered kids are now pleading with the police to be more forthcoming with their findings, urging them to “say the truth” and uncover the culprit.
In a statement, Jim, Ethan’s father, said, ‘The quiet after our son’s murder compounds our family’s anguish.
‘For Ethan and his three beloved friends who were murdered in Moscow, Idaho, and for all of our families, I ask officials to speak the truth, share what they know, find the perpetrator, and safeguard the wider community,’ he said.
Kaylee’s sister stated that she, too, was frustrated.
‘Until we have a suspect in custody, we cannot state with any certainty that this incident is isolated.
“This was done on purpose not once, not twice, not three times, but four times. That is the scariest thing I can think of,’ Goncalves told NBC affiliate KHQ.
The families of the dead paid tribute, with Goncalves’s family stating that he was just a few months away from starting a new job in Texas.
Kaylee, a degree in general studies, was looking forward to starting her new tech job on 1/1, relocating to Texas, taking road trips in her newly purchased Range Rover, and traveling to Europe.
She would never cease fighting for us and demanding truth and justice, and we won’t either.
Triplet Ethan Chapin attended the University of Idaho. His brother Hunter offered his respects via Instagram.
Under a photo of the brothers, he wrote “My brother and my best buddy” with a red heart.
Stacy Chapin, Ethan’s mother, told the Seattle Times, “It is an incomprehensible tragedy, and the anguish is awful.” Literally, Ethan was the greatest child ever, with a smile that could light up any room.
Mogen, a marketing major, and Kernodle, who was also a marketing major, were memorialized by the Mad Greek, a restaurant in Moscow where they both worked, in a post.
The Facebook statement read, “It is with a shattered heart and profound regret that I inform you that two of our own have passed away here at Mad Greek.”
It said, ‘We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of Xana, Maddie, Ethan, and Kaylee.
“You will be missed greatly. Thank you for being a member of our family/team and for your assistance throughout the years. Until our next meeting.
