University of Idaho murders: House demolished despite mixed feelings from families

Demolition began Thursday at the site of the off-campus house where four University of Idaho students were killed.

The off-campus house where four University of Idaho students were killed was demolished on Thursday -- despite mixed feelings from victims' families.

The demolition began before the sun came up. The three-story house in Moscow, Idaho, was torn down in under two hours.

The excavator started by removing the siding and then the first level of the house. The giant claw then busted through the second level, following by the third level and the roof.

Moscow Police Chief James Fry and officials from the university were among those at the scene.

About eight dump trucks removed the debris and the cleanup process is now underway.
