(FiveNation.com)- As the homicide investigation approached its seventh week without a suspect, a newly leaked image of two of the four University of Idaho stabbing victims surfaced.
The Corner Club bar in Moscow’s downtown was where two victims, Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen, both 21 years old, spent a significant amount of time before going home in the early hours of November 13.
The picture, which went viral, depicts two women who appear to have been dressed similarly to Goncalves and Mogen just before the attack. It seems to have been captured by a bar security camera. It was taken at 1:32 a.m. if the timestamp is correct.
Hours of surveillance footage were gathered by police from cameras inside and outside the popular college hangout, where the victims’ friends, who were young bartenders, worked.
Goncalves and Mogen arrived at their rental home on King Road just before 2 a.m. after stopping at a nearby food truck and catching a ride. Their 20-year-old housemate Xana Kernodle and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin had just returned from a party at the nearby Sigma Chi fraternity house.
According to police, between 3 and 4 a.m., all four were killed by a “fixed-blade” weapon. Authorities claim that the two other roommates who shared the bottom floor of the three-story house were not attacked.
Speculation about who else is visible in the photo alongside the pair thought to be Goncalves and Mogen has run rampant on social media.
Moscow Police Capt. Anthony Dahlinger said that while the image had been leaked, investigators were aware of it.
Police declined to confirm its legitimacy or respond to inquiries about who it depicts.
Several minutes later, the man and Goncalves were captured on a nearby surveillance camera as they walked toward a food truck. Authorities claim that they split up there, with the man leaving alone and the woman taking a ride.
Apart from a statement published on Facebook on November 14, the club’s management has been relatively silent since the murders.
More important than the picture, the person of interest was the driver of the white 2011–2013 Hyundai Elantra.
