Police: Stabbings, Idaho killings unrelated
Almost two weeks after four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their rooms, Moscow police and federal agents continue to follow leads, but on Friday they ruled out any connection to two other stabbings in the Pacific Northwest. Police say they've received inquiries about a 1999 double stabbing in Pullman, Washington. They've also were asked about the 2021 double stabbing in Salem, Oregon. Police say the cases share similarities with the Idaho homicides, but they don't appear related. The four students were found dead Nov. 13 in a rental house near campus. A county coroner says they were likely asleep when they were attacked. No suspect has been identified.
10 days in, no suspect, no weapon in Idaho student slayings
Ten days after four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their rooms, police said Wednesday they still have not identified a suspect or found a murder weapon, and they continued asking for tips and surveillance video. Moscow Police Department Capt. Roger Lanier said at a news conference that his department is putting all of its resources into solving the case and that investigators are prepared to work through the Thanksgiving holiday. Authorities gave no indication that they're any closer to making an arrest, but they did stress that they continue processing forensic evidence gathered from the home where the students were killed.
