"A suspect was taken into custody in connection with the investigation into the murders of four University of Idaho students, two federal law enforcement sources confirmed to CNN on Friday.

The arrest in the fatal stabbing case was made by the FBI in northeastern Pennsylvania, the sources said.
The Moscow Police Department in Idaho said it will hold a news conference Friday at 1 p.m. local time (4 p.m. ET) to announce developments in the investigation.

The news conference comes a day after police said they have received about 20,000 tips through more than 9,025 emails, 4,575 phone calls, and 6,050 digital media submissions, while having conducted over 300 interviews in the case of the four students slain in an off-campus home.
No suspect, motive or weapon has been identified.

The students, Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Kernodles boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20; were likely asleep when they were each stabbed multiple times in the early hours of November 13, authorities have said. Some of the victims had defensive wounds, a coroner has said.

The killings shocked the small college town, its first murder in seven years.

Investigators believe someone has information that adds context to what occurred on the night of the murders and continue requesting additional pictures, video, and social media content. Our focus remains on the investigation, not an individuals activities displayed in the tip, the update said.

Police say the search continues for the white 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra thought to have been near the home early on November 13.
The home where the killings occurred will be cleaned up but remain an active crime scene under police control, authorities said Thursday.

Moscow police say they have worked with a property management services company to remove potential biohazards and other harmful substances used to collect evidence, the update said. The home will be turned over to the property management company.

This is a developing story and will be updated."

Good.

Although I always wondered why this specifcally got a lot of media coverage when I'm pretty sure something similar happened in Brooklyn a few months ago and nobody said anything. Come to think of it this happens a lot, sadly.

I think it's just because everyone is tripping out that it was so hardcore and they couldn't find anybody, and like what the fuck did these kids do to trigger some shit like this. I think that propels the interest.

I guess. It's just a shame that this happens a lot in disenfranchised neighborhoods and nobody fucking cares.

True.

The lack of information makes it seem like the suspect is a person of interest and may not be the real killer, trust me if they knew the suspect is the real killer, we'd get names at the very least by now.

They say they're going to explain things at 4pm Eastern.

although the police expressed that they didn't think there was a connection, there was also the similarity of the crime to some other home invasion stabbings that have taken place in the PNW which raised the possibility in people's minds that this was the doing of an escalating SK

They basically can't tell us anything until he is arraigned.

But during the press conference I went to the reddit board about the killings and man some of the comments there are just the dumbest fucking things.

They are making comments about the killers motives and other things they have no fucking clue about. Basically trying to look smart, acting like they know everything, but in reality it is just making them look dumb.

Did the internet sleuths on Reddit do anything at all to help this case?

Not sure. Maybe. Who knows in this day and time.

Hopefully this is not one of those "we're under so much pressure lets make a random arrest" arrests.

I get the impression that it is not.

Unless it led to one of them calling in a tip about the suspect, probably not.

I sort of wish I was subbed to that sub to read their dumb ideas and theories over time.
