Here it is from the local news quoting the Moscow police department: https://www.khq.com/news/moscow-police-department-say-no-connection-between-skinned-dog-university-if-idaho-murders/video_54a29c52-6a11-11ed-ab39-83fa8a7b4968.html

I can't imagine how they would state that conclusively. The source is Faux News, so take that into consideration. Whoever killed the dog is deeply disturbed. Waiting in the dark, in someone's yard, to methodically kill & skin a pet? If not the student killer then another psychopath about to explode.

Multiple news outlets are now reporting that the cops say it’s unrelated. As I said upthread, they may know things we don’t.

What hypothetical scenarios could possibly lead to that kind of statement? They have the dog skinner, who is the nephew of one of the officers, in custody and he has a solid alibi for where he was during the time when the students where murdered?

I am in the criminology field and you would be surprised at things they say and purposely put out in the media, sometimes to send a message,
Sometimes to throw off the killer. So there are actually several hypothetical situations.

Ah, ok, makes sense. The statement could be true, or not true and there is likely a reason it was issued.

Everything I hear from these cops makes this seem like an episode of Reno 911.

Yes, exactly. Always remember that the vast majority of information is withheld and whatever is released is done in a way that is incredibly careful and methodical. The main goal is to be incredibly careful not to do anything that would compromise the investigation, the evidence, or what would happen when (if) it is time to go to court. The FBI is working on this case, so it’s not just the Moscow PD here.

Do you think they checked the dog before they gave it to the ex boyfriend? Wondering if the dog could have scratched at the killer and maybe the nails of the dog could have the killers DNA?

I was thinking the same thing.

Has there been any mention of the two girls in the basement level and whether they were alone or did they have BFs over that night?

Does "I am in the criminology field" mean you watch a lot of CSI? Because general incompetence by the local police here is far, far more likely than any sort of purposeful misdirection.

Another poster. We do not know if the FBI is directing them to not give out anything. It is most important that they catch whoever is responsible. I am wondering if a note was left
that made it seem like targeted. Something had to lead them to say that initially. If they thought everyone there was in danger they would be warning everyone and I think they would have said something to the University.

I would like to know how they ruled out the roommates and the ex bf Jack. They just believed that the roommates were asleep and so was Jack? Jack could have left his phone at his house while committing this crime. He could also have been the one who called his own phone using the girls phones. And leaving the the other 2 roommates unharmed maybe to make it look suspicious for the 2 surviving girls. So i want to know what evidence do they have to rule out these 3 obvious suspects??

What if it was a guy that was with one of the roommates on the basement level? That person could have gone up the stairs and exited out the basement door.

Was there a guy in the basement? I think Jack must have had air tight alibi-maybe at parents house or too far away to pull this off. On top of the fact that the whole family said no way means it is doubtful. I wonder if it it was someone the girls served in the restaurant. I think they said the two girls were in third floor so maybe killer got the people in second floor and kept going until her found his target. I feel like there should be some sort of video evidence though -some camera has to have picked up cars or people walking in middle of night. This attack was so barbaric that it just doesn’t seem like a random
angry college students who was rejected. Could this also have been a cult initiation? I think every person with college age kids is trying to figure this out and figure out how to prevent in the future.

Tragic event and law enforcement has their hands full. Based on skill, brutality of the murders, experts are thinking a potential serial killer.
