Ben Mogen, the father of murdered University of Idaho student Madison Mogen, expressed confidence that whoever was responsible for the stabbing deaths of his daughter and her three friends will be apprehended and brought to justice.
Mogen explained to the Spokesman-Review that it would be impossible for a crime of this nature for the perpetrator to avoid detection.
Idaho College Murders Update
Mogen is disappointed that, six weeks into the investigation into the November 13 killings of four students in an off-campus apartment, so much remained unclear.
Madison Mogen was a marketing senior and a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. "We're still waiting for answers to so many questions," he said.
Mogen stated that investigators have been in daily contact with him to provide updates. If he does not respond to their calls for multiple days, the lead investigator will contact his family, he said.
The FBI has assisted state investigators in their investigations. Mogen stated that with these resources, they ought to be able to solve the case, according to Fox News. Mogen continues to endure the agonizing loss of his 21-year-old daughter, Maddie, whom he described as smart, funny, and a true achiever.
In the early hours of November 13, Maddie, her best friend Kaylee Goncalves, their roommate Xana Kernodle, and Kernodle's boyfriend Ethan Chapin were stabbed to death in their off-campus home near the University of Idaho campus.
Mogen stated that on the day of his daughter's vigil, investigators spoke with him for three hours. The perpetrator(s) of his daughter's murder remain unidentified, despite his appreciation for all that has been done thus far.
The bereaved father stated that he is in constant contact with one of the lead investigators. He said he particularly appreciates the frequent updates in light of the 'hurtful' online rumors, gossip, and false information.
However, he also expressed gratitude that investigators have access to resources from across the country, particularly the FBI, and that they are working around the clock, including during the holidays, to find those responsible so that he can obtain justice for his daughter, as per Daily Mail.
Ex-FBI Agent Suspects Idaho Murders as Femicide Case
According to a former FBI agent, the murder of four University of Idaho students last month may be a case of femicide. On November 13, the bodies of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were discovered in an off-campus rental home.
The women lived with two other female roommates who survived the attack, while Chapin, Kernodle's boyfriend, was a guest at the residence.
On Christmas Day, it will have been six weeks since the brutal murders shook the tiny town of Moscow, but the local police have yet to identify a suspect or make any arrests. Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer stated that investigators will examine everyone associated with each victim, starting with their families and inner circles.
One of Coffindaffer's hypotheses is that the killer harbored resentment against one or more of the deceased students. She is also inclined to believe that a murderer is a person with "perverted thoughts and anger toward women" who seized the opportunity to strike on the night of the murders. Femicide is defined as the intentional killing of women due to their gender.
Two types of femicide exist: intimate and non-intimate. The former refers to the murder of women by current or former intimate partners, while the latter refers to the murder of women by individuals with whom they had no intimate relationship.
She added that the murderer may have been someone who attended a party at the residence or barely knew the victims, Newsweek reported.
