House Where 4 Idaho College Students Were Murdered Is Demolished

Two of the victims' families objected to the demolition, arguing it could be relevant during the suspect's trial.

The house where four University of Idaho students were murdered in November 2022 has been demolished by the school, despite objections from some of the victims’ families.

According to The Associated Press, demolition began Thursday morning in Moscow, Idaho, and ended a few hours later.

Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were the students fatally stabbed at the house. Kernodle, Mogen and Goncalves lived in the home. Chapin, Kernodle’s boyfriend, was visiting on the night of the attack.

The previous owner of the home donated it to the university earlier this year.

In a statement from the university released earlier this month, the school said it planned to start the demolition process during winter break “to decrease further impact on the students who live in that area.”
