MOSCOW, Idaho — A vigil for the four students who were murdered in a home near the University of Idaho (UI) campus is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 30.
According to the University of Idaho, the candlelight vigil that was scheduled for this Wednesday night will be postponed until after fall break, as most students are out of town for Thanksgiving break. The time the vigil will take place is still yet to be determined.
As of Wednesday, Nov. 16, Moscow Police are still investigating the deaths of the four students, identified as 20-year-old Ethan Chapin from Conway, Wash., 21-year-old Madison Mogen from Coeur d'Alene, 20-year-old Xana Kernodle from Post Falls and 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves from Rathdrum.
According to police, early in the evening, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were at a party on campus away from the crime scene. Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were at a bar, and came home at 1:45 a.m.
When police arrived on scene for a wellness check, officers found four victims and other people who were not hurt. Officers say there were no signs of forced entry into the residence. When police arrived, the door was still open.
