Idaho police remove boxes of evidence from house where college students were murdered

MOSCOW, Idaho — Investigators continued to search the scene where four college students were murdered on Tuesday, removing several boxes of evidence from the home in Moscow, Idaho.

Detectives from the FBI, Idaho State Police and Moscow Police Department spent the past nine days at the three-story residence where Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle were stabbed to death on November 13.

A law enforcement officer could be seen loading a cardboard box and a plastic bin into an SUV before leaving on Tuesday.

Detectives from multiple agencies spent more than a week at the house combing through the evidence.

Kaylee’s father, Steve Goncalves, previously told Fox News that the killer “made a mess” and that police are “going to have to go through this point by point and it’s going to take a long time.”

“They’re telling us there’s so much evidence that it’s going to take a long time to process it all,” Steve Goncalves told Fox News’ Lawrence Jones on Saturday. “It wasn’t like a one-off crime. This person was sloppy.”
