The Moscow Police Department, which has yet to make much progress in its investigation into the murders of four University of Idaho students, has announced that it will now crack down on internet sleuths. As last month’s brutal stabbings captivated the nation’s attention, internet sleuths began posting popular theories about the murders to fill the void left by Idaho police, who have been chastised for sharing little and contradicting themselves repeatedly.
Moscow Police Chief James Fry condemned the high volume of speculations and rumors surrounding the case on Friday, saying only the police have the sole authority to discuss the facts of the case. Following his statement, the police department stated that anyone who engages in harassment or threats, whether in person, online, or otherwise, should understand that they could face criminal charges.
The Moscow Police Department warns the public not to believe rumors and pledges to keep the public informed. For accurate information, they advised that people should rely on official channels.
Idaho cops have raised concerns that the murderer who killed four college students might strike again, warning students attending commencement to stay in groups. The Moscow Police Department advised visitors to stay in touch with friends and family and to be vigilant during Saturday’s celebration.
The commencement ceremony marks an ‘important weekend’ for the city, with a large influx of visitors from outside the city. With the start of classes this weekend, there is likely to be an influx of people from out of town. The Moscow Police Department and Idaho State Police will provide coverage on campus and in the surrounding area, according to a police statement.
They advised people to remain vigilant, travel in groups, and keep their families and friends informed about where and how they travel. On Saturday morning, Moscow police said they had more than ten investigators looking into the murders and that nearly 50 FBI agents, including some in Moscow, are working to solve the case. The warning comes as the Moscow Police Department, which has yet to make significant progress in the investigation, has announced that they will now crack down on internet sleuths. WebFans who follow criminal cases are also actively searching for clues online.

Ethan Chapin, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21 were all University of Idaho students. They were brutally attacked between 3 and 4 a.m., and the killer has yet to be apprehended four weeks later. The fact that so little is known about the case has sparked a flurry of theories, with Facebook and Reddit groups spearheading now-debunked and plausible theories about it.
As rumors spread, people became increasingly frustrated with the police department, which has provided little information to dispel conspiracy theories and misinformation. Both Moscow Police Chief Fry and Latah County prosecutor Bill Thompson assured the public early in the investigation that the victims were specifically targeted by the killer. However, the police later retracted their statements, claiming that they were unsure whether the slain University of Idaho students were actually targeted.
