Authorities said Tuesday that the bloody scene where four University of Idaho students were slaughtered with a knife was the “worst they’ve ever seen” – as people on campus unnerved by the shocking crime skip town early for Thanksgiving.
Mayor Art Bettge said the murders appears to be a 'one-off type of situation.'
'Something had occurred that resulted in these deaths,' he said, adding that nothing was stolen from the scene.
He had previously suggested the students may have been killed in a
'crime of passion' or a 'burglary gone wrong.'
He told FOX News: 'It’s one of any of a plenitude of possibilities, including burglary gone wrong, robbery gone wrong… any of those is a possibility and not one to the exclusion of others
Law enforcement sources told the Daily Mail that the victims bled out after being butchered in the off-campus home, and described the scene as the “worst they’ve ever seen.”
“There was blood everywhere. We have investigators who have been on the job for 20, even 30, years, and they say they have never seen anything like this,” a police source close to the probe told the outlet

Authorities said Tuesday that the bloody scene where
four University of Idaho students were slaughtered with a knife was the “worst they’ve ever seen” – as people on campus unnerved by the shocking crime skip town early for Thanksgiving.
Law enforcement sources
told the Daily Mail that the victims bled out after being butchered in the off-campus home, and described the scene as the “worst they’ve ever seen.”

The Daily Mail also published chilling images showing blood streaking down the side of the building where the bodies were found.
Police have
identified the victims, who were found dead about noon Sunday, as Ethan Chapin, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21.
On Tuesday, the Moscow Police Department described their deaths as “targeted” murders.
Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were believed to be in a relationship before their deaths
people are “getting out of Dodge,” Latah County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Mikolajczyk told the Idaho Statesman.
The 28-year police veteran told the paper that he saw area residents, many of them students, leave town Monday, almost a week before the university’s Thanksgiving break begins.
“I’ve been here a long time and stuff like this doesn’t happen often in Moscow,” Mikolajczyk told the Statesman. “It has every once in a while, and I think this is probably one of the worst.”
The statement said: ‘On November 13, 2022, at 11:58 hours, Moscow Police Department Officers responded to a call on King Road for an unconscious individual.
‘Upon arrival, officers discovered four individuals who were deceased. The deaths have been ruled to be homicide.‘
Police Capt. Anthony Dahlinger told the Idaho Statesman: 'All I can say is the deaths are ruled a homicide at this point – and homicide and murder are synonymous.'
Although no weapons have been located, based on preliminary information, investigators believe that an edged weapon such as a knife was used.
‘Autopsies are scheduled to be completed later this week and will hopefully provide more definitive information on the exact cause of the deaths.
'Also, based on information from the preliminary investigation, investigators believe this was an isolated, targeted attack and there is no imminent threat to the community at large.
‘Investigators are continuing to work diligently on establishing a timeline of relevant events to re-create the victims’ activities on the evening of November 12 and early morning of November 13, following all leads and identifying persons of interest.'
