Additionally, MPD found that Goncalves' dog, which was discovered at the crime site after the killings, had no evidence on him before being sent to the Humane Society and then a "responsible person," according to MPD.

Police are still working to fill in a missing timeline for Chapin and Kernodle, who were dating the night before the killings, more than three weeks after the crime, Fox News reported.

On November 12, a Saturday, the two were seen visiting the university's Sigma Chi fraternity home on campus at nine o'clock. On November 13, at 1:45 am, they returned home. It is unknown where they went or what they did in that time. Police are requesting the public to come forward with any knowledge they may have on the timeline of the pair that evening or the next morning.

Police are warning the public to check police bulletins for updates on the investigation into the deaths of four University of Idaho students as they handle "unvetted information" circulating in the media.

The slain students' families have been vocal about their children's legacies as well as their displeasure with the police's lack of information. Several experts have also been included in the media coverage utilizing the scant information from the probe to examine various aspects, as per The Washington Examiner.

Idaho Killings Were 'Targeted Attack'

The reason for the victim's death, their injuries, and the investigation's methods, among other things, have all been the subject of considerable discussion, the Moscow police admitted in a news statement. Because doing so would be a "disservice" and compromise their investigation, police claimed they had not provided more information to the families or the general public.

According to the police, detectives are reviewing over 6,000 tips they have received via phone, email, and social media. The savage stabbings on November 13 may have been targeting all four victims, Idaho State Police spokesperson Aaron Snell told Dailymail.com last week.

He acknowledged that enough evidence has been obtained to show that the killings were targeted, but he also acknowledged that detectives are still some distance from catching the perpetrator.

"We have not changed our belief that the murders were a targeted attack," the statement on Monday said. Investigators have not yet determined if the house or its occupants were the targets.

Investigators looked with nearby shops to see whether any had lately sold military-style knives after autopsies revealed the four pupils were fatally stabbed, most likely with a fixed-blade knife.
