Hours ago he did speak with the lah County coroner Kathy mbit is calling all four four deaths homicides and that the cause of death is likely a stabbing but we won’t know that for certain until the autopsy report comes back and she can make that official ruling now to take
That a step further Leah County contracts its autopsies out to SPO the Spokane County Medical Examiner and I confirmed this afternoon that Spokan county is in fact conducting the autopsy on the four University of Idaho students now the Spokane County spokesperson says the medical examiner has not yet started
Those autopsies once they are done the medical examiner will forward her recommended findings to the lah County coroner and the Moscow Police Department or the Leah County coroner will release the official ruling now this afternoon when we talked to the coroner she described a gruesome crime scene well
There was a lot of blood it was yeah it was it it’s a very sad scene mbit adds that she does not believe the toxicology report on each of the four University of Idaho students will be relevant to the manner or cause of death now mbit has
Been the County coroner for 16 years in Leah County she says in that time there have been at least two other Multiple homicide scenes that she’s been involved in but she says this current homicide investigation is the only one she’s been to where there are four people at one
Scene police zeroing in on the movements of two of the University of Idaho victims Zanna kado and Ethan chapen the night they were murdered looking specifically at the hours between 9:00 p.m. and 1:45 a.m. when the couple was believed to be at Ethan’s fraternity why are you looking for more information
Specifically about where Zanna and Ethan were in regards to his fraternity house that actually seems to be one of the larger areas that we don’t have a lot of information in and so being able to locate what they did that night to maybe who they contacted maybe any routes that
They took home that would be important for the investigation Zanna and Ethan stabbed to death less than a block away at zanna’s home along with Kaylee Gonzalez and Madison Mogan who were found on the top floor two roommates survived along with kayle’s dog seen in this Tik Tock video authorities now say
The dog was found inside the home but in a separate room from the victims how important is the behavior of the dog in your investigation we don’t believe that there was any appearance of force entering to the home and as well at this time we have not determined if the dog
Was inside the residence during the murders or not what we do know is that the dog was inside when officers arrived the dog did not appear to have any evidence on it police also addressing information about the victim’s manner of death after kayle’s father said he learned his daughter’s wounds were much
More severe than her friends fearing Kaye was the target please don’t be my child that’s the target police telling ABC news they have not provided the family with that information authorities also telling me they’re not attempting to refute what the family is saying ultimately they want to protect the Integrity of this

The camaraderie is all there uh the brotherhood’s all there a year after the killings on Kings Road the sigma Kai fraternity Brothers at the University of Idaho are sharing their memories about Ethan chapen the four students we talk to are from Eagle Meridian and greville Idaho our magg
Omera went to the sigma Kai house and heard about their love for Ethan and how they’re trying to heal together here at the sign M house at the University of Idaho memories of Ethan chapen are everywhere I have never met someone who so like universally love everyone liked
Him he was just like the happiest person to be around everyone wanted to be around him losing Ethan in such a tragic way has impacted each of these students the feelings and the emotions are still fresh right after that happened I mean it was it was a mad house up in Moscow
Uh there news people everywhere and I don’t know it was just no one knew what was going on really cuz stuff like that doesn’t really happen in a town like this but I think as a house we all banded together it was hard cuz a lot of
People went home I felt way better when I was up here with my brothers rather than being at home I needed to be around these guys talking about what I was feeling talking about e maybe we want to talk about memories with e all of us
Knew that no one was going to look down on them for sharing their emotions or you know anything like that how we handled that as a fraternity it wasn’t one person handling the situation we handled it as a Brotherhood and I think that really helped us uh get through
They each shared happy memories of Ethan coolest guy you’ll ever meet that’s that’s about it right there he was a really big funny happy guy when someone would walk in the room like not just me anybody um he would welcome you into the room he was always very kind and
Everything that he did he always call me Gussy Gus in his little raspy voice you know emotionally always there for people one of my favorite memories with him was my apartment flooded one night after a big party cuz there was all sorts of plumbing problems with it it’s an old
House went over to Zan’s and I was hanging out with the two of them and we just talked for like hours and hours and Zan made us grilled cheese sandwiches and Ethan and I are just sitting there talking so that’s one of like my my most like cherished memories with him you
Know like I just I think back to that night a lot and I try to focus on nights like that rather than the sad ones when it comes to e the brothers lost Ethan’s girlfriend Zan kotle that terrible night too him and Santa were just like the most
Perfect couple you could imagine that’s just how she was like she was just able to come over here and hang out with all the dudes and it was like oh hey what’s up Zan he said that Ethan was like the most universally loved person on campus
I think Zanna was right up there with Ethan like I everyone loved Zanna everyone loved Ethan both both of them were just flourishing flourishing for sure Hunter chapen Ethan’s brother is also a member of this house it was kind of tough cuz it was a subject that he
Didn’t want to talk about for a while just kind of letting him know that we are there if he ever does want to talk just kind of knowing that that’s open for him if he ever does need a release to to let his emotions out to us when we
Were there the first Sigma Kai Ethan chapen Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Hunter the chapen family was there his mom his dad his sister Maisy and there was a standing ovation I think it obviously means a lot um going to Hunter you know we’re talking all about e right now but Hunter’s right
There with him you know like they’re they’re very very similar people especially with what Hunter’s going through obviously and then the way he’s come out on the other end like the person he is now like personally I don’t think I could be not okay the word isn’t okay but be yeah
That’s strong um in a situ
