Police in Moscow, Idaho, have spoken out to reassure local residents that they are continuing to work night and day to solve the shocking murders of four University of Idaho students in their student accommodation last month.

The usually idyllic town in the snowy Idahoan hills was rocked by the brutal slayings on November 13th, but Moscow Police Department Chief James Fry told The Moscow-Pullman Daily News he would not entertain the idea of the case going cold.

“I’m not even going to speculate on that, number one, because that’s not even in my mind. We’re going to solve this. We’re going to continue to work until we solve it,” he said.

What happened?

Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were all found stabbed to death in a house on King Road, a dead-end street about five minutes’ walk from the fraternity houses that line the edge of the university campus.
