‘Everyone’s on edge’: unsolved quadruple killing grips Idaho college town

A month after four university students were stabbed to death, the case remains unsolved and the killer, or killers, at large

Christmas looms, but an eerie and decidedly nonfestive mood haunts the snowy college town of Moscow, Idaho. Locksmiths' vans have replaced roving carolers. Some residents request pepper spray or guns as Christmas gifts. Businesses close early. Few people walk alone, especially at night.

More than a month after four local university students were inexplicably stabbed to death in the same home, the case remains unsolved and the killer, or killers, at large. Police have named no suspect, found no murder weapon, and offered no motive.
