The Moscow, Idaho Police Department released a statement on Monday about the potential harassment and murder incident that occurred last month in the city when four University of Idaho students were found dead in a house on November 13 after returning from different places that day.
policeman monday specifically addressed claims made by one of the victims, 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves, shortly before her death, that she had a “stalker”.
“Using tips and leads, investigators identified an incident involving Kaylee at a local business, which may have been the stalker reference she made to friends and family,” the department wrote. in a post on Facebook.
Two men, one of whom followed Goncalves to a local business, were questioned by police, who determined it was an “isolated incident and not an ongoing pattern of harassment”.
The men are not believed to be involved in the deaths of Goncalves and his comrades Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21.
However, Moscow law enforcement said investigators were still looking into the lead that Goncalves may have had a stalker.
No suspects have been identified by police in the case, which came after the two 20-year-old students returned from a frat party and the two 21-year-olds returned from a downtown bar. The Moscow Police Department previously said the four men appeared to have been killed with a “sharp” weapon in a targeted attack.
However, officers are continuing to review more than 2,645 emailed tips, 2,770 telephone tips and 1,084 digital media submissions.
“The Moscow Police Department is committed to providing information to the extent possible, but not at the expense of investigation and prosecution,” law enforcement wrote, defending their disclosure of information to the public since the killings last month.
The department urged anyone with information about the movements of the four students from Nov. 12-13 to call the investigation line.
