University of Idaho to Demolish House Where Four College Students Were Murdered in November

The University of Idaho has announced that the house where four college students were murdered in November will be demolished. The house, located near the university campus, was given to the school by the owner.

The victims, Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Kernodle’s boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20, were found dead at the off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho, in mid-November.

Scott Green, the university’s president, said in a statement that the demolition of the house is a “healing step” and removes the physical structure where the crime was committed.

“We are grateful to the owner for their generosity in donating the house to the university,” Green said. “We are committed to honoring the memory of the victims and supporting our community as we move forward.”

The university has not yet announced what will be done with the property once the house is demolished. The university is also planning to hold a memorial service for the victims in the coming weeks.
