>>> IT'S BEEN MORE THAN TWO WEEKS SINCE FOUR
IDAHO COLLEGE STUDENTS WERE MURDERED.
POLICE IN THE COLLEGE TOWN OF MOSCOW, IDAHO HAVE SAID ALL
ALONG THEY BELIEVE THIS WAS A TARGETED ATTACK.
NOW THEY'RE CLARIFYING THAT STATEMENT, CREATING A LITTLE BIT
OF CONFUSION -- A LOT OF CONFUSION, ACTUALLY, AS STUDENTS
AND RESIDENTS HELD A CANDLE LITE MEMORIAL SERVICE LAST NIGHT.
AS POLICE WERE TALKING AS THIS WAS GOING ON ABOUT A
MISCOMMUNICATION THEY HAD WITH THE COUNTY PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE.
VERONICA MIRACLE IS LIVE NEAR MOSCOW.
THIS HAS BEEN THE QUESTION PLAGUING THIS.
WHICH IS WHAT POLICE ARE SAYING, WHAT THEY AREN'T SAYING AND WHAT
WE STILL DO NOT KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
>> Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT, KAITLAN.
A LOT OF THIS CONFUSION IN THE LAST 12 HOURS SEEMS TO BE AROUND
THE NOTION THAT TWO OR ONE OF THE SPECIFIC ROOMMATES WERE
SPECIFICALLY TARGETED. I'M GOING TO READ PART OF THEIR
STATEMENT THEY RELEASED LAST NIGHT.
DETECTIVES DO NOT CURRENTLY KNOW IF THE RESIDENTS OR OCCUPANTS
WERE SPECIFICALLY TARGETED BUT CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE.
POLICE HAVEN'T ANSWERED OUR QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS CONFUSION,
THE GOING BACK AND FORTH. I THINK HERE IN THE COMMUNITY
ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT A SUSPECT STILL HASN'T BEEN
ARRESTED. THE UNSOLVED FATAL STABBING
DEATHS OF FOUR UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO STUDENTS LEAVES THE MOSCOW
COMMUNITY WITH GRAVE UNCERTAINTY AND LITTLE INFORMATION MORE THAN
TWO WEEKS AFTER THE ATTACK. >> YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO
LOVE EACH OTHER, HUG EACH OTHER. >> THE UNIVERSITY HELD A VIGIL
WEDNESDAY WHERE THE FAMILIES SPOKE ABOUT THEIR LOSS.
>> SHE WAS SUCH A HAPPY -- JUST SUCH A GREAT KID, A PERFECT
LITTLE BABY. AND SO JUST SMART AND FUNNY AND
BEAUTIFUL. >> THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT
MESSAGE THAT WE HAVE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES, IS TO MAKE SURE
YOU SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE WITH THOSE PEOPLE
BECAUSE TIME IS PRECIOUS AND IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN'T GET
BACK. >> VICTIMS KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND
AND MADISON WERE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS.
>> SIXTH GRADE THEY FOUND EACH OTHER, AND EVERY DAY THEY DID
HOMEWORK TOGETHER, CAME TO OUR HOUSE TOGETHER, THEY SHARED
EVERYTHING. AND IN THE END THEY DIED
TOGETHER. IN THE SAME ROOM AND THE SAME
BED. IT'S A SHAME, IT AND HURTS WITH
THE BEAUTY OF THE TWO ALWAYS BEING TOGETHER SOMETHING THAT
WILL -- IT COMFORTS US, IT LOET US KNOW THEY WERE WITH THEIR
BEST FRIENDS. >> A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE MOSCOW
POLICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY WERE STARTING TO RECEIVE TEST RESULTS
RELATED TO THE INVESTIGATION. IT COMES AS POLICE ARE
CLARIFYING STATEMENTS THAT SAID THE MURDERS WERE TARGETED AND
I ISOLATED.
THE LATEST STATEMENTS SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW IF THE VICTIMS WERE
TARGETED AS SEVERAL COMMENTS HAVE CITED THIS INCIDENT AS A
TARGETED ATTACK. INVESTORS RETRACED THE VICTIMS'
WHEREABOUTS ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER BUT STILL HAVE NOT NAMED
A SUSPECT. ON TUESDAY AUTHORITIES REMOVED
CARS FROM THE CRIME SCENE. THE IDAHO STATE POLICE HAS
PROVIDED SECURITY FOR THE CAMPUS AND THE COMMUNITY GIVEN THE
MOUNTING FEARS A MURDERER IS STILL AT LARGE.
>> I THOUGHT IT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL SAFER BUT IT DOESN'T
BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME THERE'S STILL SOMEONE OUT THERE.
>> Reporter: CERTAINLY HERE IN THE COMMUNITY EVERYWHERE YOU GO
THERE IS AN INCREASED SECURITY PRESENCE.
IDAHO STATE POLICE EVERYWHERE TRYING TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY
FEEL SAFE. KAITLAN.
>> YOU CAN SEE WHY THEY DON'T. THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT.
>>> I WANT TO BRING IN CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND INTELLIGENCE
ANALYST MR. JOHN MILLER. GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING, DON. >> THIS STORY IS FASCINATING IN
THE SENSE IT'S A SMALL TOWN, RIGHT, AND THEY DON'T HAVE
ANYONE YET -- INITIALLY THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A
THREAT TO THE PUBLIC AND NOW THEY'RE SAYING IT POSSIBLY IS A
THREAT TO THE PUBLIC. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS?
>> I THINK THEY'RE GETTING TIED UP IN SEMANTICS WHICH IS A
SYMPTOM OF NOT HAVING A BREAK IN THE CASE THEY CAN TALK ABOUT
THAT'S NEWSWORTHY. SO PEOPLE ARE GOING BACK, TRYING
TO INTERPRET STATEMENTS WORD BY WORD.
I THINK WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS YOU'RE GOING INTO THE THIRD WEEK
OF THE CASE THAT MEANS THERE'S BEEN ENOUGH TIME FOR DNA RESULTS
AND OTHER THINGS TO COME BACK. WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THERE
IS WHO ARE THE KNOWN CONTRIBUTORS, THE VICTIMS AND
PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN THE HOUSE, WHERE IS THAT UNKNOWN
CONTRIBUTOR? THEY TAKE THE UNKNOWN DNA, PUT
IT IN THE KSYSTEM WITH THE FBI. THAT GIVES THEM TWO THINGS, ONE
EVERYONE ARRESTED WITH A FELONY'S DNA.
SO THAT'S A GOOD START. BUT SECOND IT GIVES THE DNA IN
THE SYSTEM RECOVERED AT OTHER CRIME SCENES THAT ISN'T
IDENTIFIED. IT DOESN'T LEAD THEM TO A
PERSON, IT CAN LEAD TO ANOTHER CRIME SCENE.
SO ALL THOSE WHEELS ARE TURNING NOW, AND THOSE CLUES ARE GOING
TO BE COMING IN AND RUN DOWN. >> THEY HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT A SUSPECT, DOES THAT MEAN THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING OR
THEY'RE NOT READY TO SAY IT YET. >> YESTERDAY THEY SAID WE HAVE
NOT NAMED A SUSPECT. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE HASN'T
BEEN A SUSPECT. THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH A HANDFUL
OF SUSPECTS THAT HAVE RISEN AND FALLEN AS ALIBIS HAVE CHECKED
OUT, AND THEY'LL GO THROUGH MORE.
>> ARE THE KIDS SAFE? >> SO --
>> ALL THOSE COLLEGE STUDENTS. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT YES, BUT NO.
THERE'S AN INCREASED POLICE PRESENCE, THE STATE POLICE IS
PATROLLING THE CAMPUS AND TOWN, ALONG WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES.
BUT UNTIL WE KNOW THE WHO AND THE WHAT AND THE WHY, IT'S HARD
TO SAY THIS TARGETED DISCUSSION. TARGETED OR NOT TARGETED, HAS
SOME MEANING. WHOEVER WENT TO THAT HOUSE CAME
THERE DELIBERATELY. IT APPEARS WITH THE INTENT TO
KILL EVERYONE INSIDE. ARMED WITH A PARTICULAR WEAPON
THEY BROUGHT FOR THAT PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
WERE THEY TARGETING THE HOUSE, AN INDIVIDUAL INSIDE, OR WAS IT
ALWAYS JUST GOING TO BE EVERYBODY?
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE STRUGGLING IN THE WHY DEPARTMENT.
SO THE MORE RANDOM THIS IS. IF IT'S A DRIFTER THAT SAID I'M
GOING IN THAT HOUSE TO KILL EVERYBODY, THE LESS THEY'RE
SAFE. IF IT'S SOMETHING TO DO WITH ONE
OR MORE OF THOSE PEOPLE IT'S CONTAINED.
BUT UNTIL THEY KNOW OR TELL US THAT ANSWER, IT'S HARD TO TELL
EVERYBODY, EVERYTHING IS SAFE. >> AND WE'RE LEFT TO WONDER.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JOHN
MILLER, APPRECIATE IT.
