New video of Idaho ‘vics’

- By YARON STEINBUCH ysteinbuch@nypost.com

A new image has emerged online that appears to show two of the slain University of Idaho students at a bar shortly before they and two others were knifed to death in their off-campus home.

The surveillan­ce photo posted Tuesday on Reddit allegedly shows Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen inside the Corner Club bar in downtown Moscow in the early hours of Nov. 13, Fox News reported.

Police had previously confirmed that the 21year-olds spent several hours at the joint before returning to their home, where they were killed along with Xana Kernodle, 20, and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20.

The time-stamp on the footage is 1:32 a.m.

The two women are seen standing among a group of people, wearing the same clothes as Goncalves and Mogen before the crime, which so far has yielded no motive or suspects.

Authoritie­s have said the two were at the bar from about 10:30 p.m. Nov. 12 to roughly 1:30 a.m. Nov. 13, before stopping at a food truck and then grabbing a cab that drove them home, where they arrived just before 2 a.m. Police have said Kernodle and Chapin had returned from a nearby Sigma Chi fraternity party a few minutes earlier.

The four were killed between 3 and 4 a.m., cops said.

On Tuesday, Moscow police Capt. Anthony Dahlinger told Fox News that investigat­ors knew about the new image, although the source of the leak was unclear.

Police declined to verify its authentici­ty or comment about whom it shows, Fox News said. A man behind the bar also declined to comment.

But the club said last month, “Our hearts are hurting. Hug your loved ones, call that friend you haven’t talked to for too long, be there for each other, travel home safely.”

On Tuesday, police said they believe someone is withholdin­g informatio­n.

“Someone has informatio­n that adds context to what occurred on the night of the murders,” police said, urging the public to continue sending in tips, photos and videos “whether you believe it is significan­t or not.”

Police have received almost 12,000 tips and more than 4,500 digital media submission­s.

They also are continuing their search for a white Hyundai Elantra believed to have been in the area of the home when the murders occurred.
