Stalker unverified in 4 Idaho slayings

MOSCOW, Idaho — Authorities investigating the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students as they slept said detectives have looked extensively into information that one of the victims had a stalker and have not been able to verify it.

Investigators have pursued hundreds of pieces of information about Kaylee Goncalves having a stalker but haven’t been able to identify one, the Moscow Police Department said Tuesday.

Authorities have said they have no suspect or weapon more than a week after the Nov. 13 killings shook the Idaho panhandle town of 25,000 residents.

Police said they believe a fixed-blade knife was used in the attacks, with each of the victims stabbed multiple times and some having defensive wounds. They have said evidence leads them to believe the students were targeted, but have declined to give details.
