This is really strange. There hasn’t been a murder in Moscow in 7 years and in one night they get 4.
Really odd because 2 others were asleep in the same building and yet untouched.

I think they Gay Bar thing is overshadowing wnother Mass Murder.
You couldn’t submit this as a true crime podcast, no one would believe you. Four people killed and no one seems to care, like it happened on the South Side of Chicago. Are the cops still saying that there is not a larger threat to the community? It’s like the killer left a threatening note that he’d kill again if they actually tried to solve the crime.
This is a curious case, for sure. I truly don’t care, but it’s bizarre how they have nothing on such a huge crime with other idiots in the house when it happened.
That happened well before the CO event enough for media to make it known. I have been tracking it. Had it been done with a gun it would have been all over the place. They may be dealing a serial killer.
This statement seems incredibly unlikely.
No murder(s) reported from 2016-2021

Edit: 1168 was dumb today.
“Moscow regularly ranks in the top 25 safest cities in Idaho. According to CityRating.com, the violent crime rate here is 82 percent lower than the national average. The Moscow Police Department has a substation right on campus, and you’ll regularly see officers around town talking to citizens.”
It’s a small (25,000), sleepy, college town. I’ve spent a fair bit of time in Idaho but not Moscow. Violent crime in general is very low and there where a whopping 40 murders in the entire state in 2020. Damn tater farmers are blowing the national curve.
Nevermind, I’m the idiot here. I better get more coffee.
And we all just piled on, not my intention. The preceding 7 years were NOT murder free.

I was kind of surprised when the police said they even went to the local sporting goods type store to see if anyone had recently purchased a large knife.
Someone should really tell them that Amazon will deliver a USMC Kabar to your door. And doesn’t every kitchen have a large knife, like a turkey carving knife?
This is big news in my area of a Spokane seeing as we are less than 2 hours from there. Moscow is just over the border from Pullman. Both small college towns. We keep waiting for some big Break but nothing. I figured the two survivors may have been the big break but that was a week ago and nothing.
Exactly. Surely the survivors would be like… Definitely talk to Joe Blow who has been giving us the creeps.
Now something about frantic calls and targeted, but few details:
I hope I’m wrong, but it seems the police don’t have many clues. Maybe they are holding back to not alert the killer.
4 bodies found in their beds, dead of multiple stab wounds. Blood all over the place. Takes brilliant detective work to say they may have been targeted. Right.
As soon as we saw the news, the first thing I thought of was that killer may very well have cut himself. This video the reporter alludes to that. They have to check every single drop of blood and see if there is a 5th blood type or DNA.
I’m sure they are doing that. I hope the killer left his DNA in that house.
I’d think that even without a cut, the killer’s DNA would be somewhere. Especially since one of the victims supposedly fought back a little. But maybe the guy planned this and came gloved and covered up really well.
Part of the difficulty in solving this is probably going to come down to inexperience. Low crime rate is great, but on the downside the local cops may not have the training and experience to maintain the integrity of the scene in the initial stages, etc. Even the State may not be totally “up to speed”. I’m under the impression that this type of crime is in the higher “degree of difficulty” category to be solved.
I honestly don’t know just speculating. Definitely not trying to throw shade on the local LEOs
Throw shade? They are already pretty much in the dark.
Local sporting goods stores and the schools ROTC to see if they used them.
I’m not totally understanding how one guy can kill four people with a knife.
Nobody hears anything and wakes up? Imagine sleeping next to someone being stabbed, because all hell should break loose with the first victim screaming and fighting.
