same, I read about this case at night because I've been helping my dad to take of mom since she has been sick and I've been looking things up online for him. So, I've been busy with that during the day.Glad it's not just me. I kept reading about it in the middle of the night and freaking myself out, getting nightmares and that

Yes same. This is in no way victim-blaming because the only person to blame is the monster who took those four beautiful lives away but I’ve definitely become more aware of security and safety because of this case.
I think it’s touched a lot of people because it happened in their home, where they were meant to be the most safe

Oh my gosh, me too. I was in a house with loads of the college students and I kept worrying that they were younger than me and would tell me off for drinking cocktails. Very fortunately I didn't dream about stabbings.Glad it's not just me. I kept reading about it in the middle of the night and freaking myself out, getting nightmares and that
Police have been unforthcoming about this but I assume the upstairs and middle floor people had keypads to their rooms which would narrow down who could get in, unless they were smashed in.

Unless the doors were left open

I've read somewhere that the side door didn't lock at all - though I don't know whether it's a rumour or not because so much has been flying around
I think someone already touched upon the way social media groups are treating this. Has anyone seen the psychics though? Absolutely insane stuff and some of it is being turned into a fact. K's family also seem to be going through the groups taking some of what is being shared as a fact worth exploring and what not too

We just don't know, the police are keeping some details hidden. Quite right if it hinders the investigation to be made public.
It might be what they meant if they're saying the house might have been the target.

I went to visit my sister at university today for the first time, as I’ve been living abroad for the last few years. She lives in a house of 9 on a main road, and they just leave the front door unlocked because it’s “easier than having to remember our keys all the time”. Even overnight. In an area that is well known to be occupied only by students.
She terrified me with this behaviour but all of her friends seem to think it’s normal.
Is there any chance these guys had left their front door unlocked?

yep, I figured that out too. That's just a hot mess that they are doing that. SMH.
I heard you and I understand.
But there was a guy that use to live in that house back in 2019 and he said that all of the rooms had locks on each of the rooms and that they never locked the sliding screen door on the second floor.
Idaho murders: Former first floor tenant of Moscow home says he couldn't hear activity from other floors
A former tenant of the Moscow, Idaho, home where four college students were murdered on Nov. 13 says he couldn't hear activity from other floors when he lived on the first floor.
I don't know what the case was for the current people that lived there during the time of the murders

Oh god I’m with you on this. Are her housemates from the 1950s? I’m amazed they think that is ok, their parents must be so blindsided

It does make you think of security. Our front door is quite flimsy, I was downstairs on the sofa as I woke up early, then was reading about Idaho and nervously went upstairs and locked the upstairs door.Oh god I’m with you on this.

They were young, fun college students. One thing I was curious about is why they (3rd floor) kept phoning ex/current boyfriend. I don't know if that was typical after a night out.

I don't know; I was in a threatening situation earlier this year so became more conscious of security. The bloke actually died recently so as horrible as it sounds part of me thought he wouldn't be after me anymore.Young and naive yes, but that was me 20 years ago and we all locked our door to shared houses. It’s like ingrained in you really isn’t it. I grew up in UK suburbia…maybe it’s a countryside upbringing
You do tend to be so trusting when you're young. Having said that this is severely atypical and really hope they find perpetrator/s soon. It's incomprehensible.

Yes! That’s come from the bodycam footage that was released that I posted about earlier, the first image is from the bodycam footage and the second one the pic has been enhanced!
Isn’t it crazy that the police were called across the street from where a quadruple murder was taking place?
Attachments
Yeah maybe that’s why the murdered left and didn’t get to the other too saw The police activity ?
imagine they must have seen the police activity as it wasn’t far away at all.
I think it’s someone they knew or had been in house before to know the layout of the house.
The two girls that escaped unharmed are so lucky but will have that burden rest of their lives to live with

I’m not totally convinced the car will be that important tbh. It was a game day so there were a lot of people in town that were from outside of town. If anything I’m a bit worried they don’t have anything to really go on and are hoping that the person/people in the car saw something unusual or someone hanging around/leaving the house
Some have said that one of the officers looked happy during interviews before the personal belongings got released so it may mean that they got some good news

I’m really into real life crime and murder and this case has had me obsessed over the last few weeks. The Reddit sub is particularly interesting 
My personal guess is that it wasn’t a random attack. I think ethan and Cana had gone to a frat party that night and invited people back to their house - when they arrived back they all hung out with Madison and Kaylee. I reckon M & K went to bed and during this time X and E were involved in some kind of altercation with whoever was back with them. Some kind of fight broke out with the couple being killed. The killer or killers then realised Madison and Kaylee also had to go as they’d seen them there and would report it to the police.
The two girls downstairs survived because they’d been asleep the whole time, their rooms were tucked out of the way and the killer or killers didn’t know they were there.
I think the dangerous thing with this theory is that frats are known for protecting their own and keeping a lot of secrets. It wouldn’t surprise me if some cover up comes from this whole thing.

This is probably why the police have asked for the movements of the two - the frat will have a lawyer advising everyone to not speak/close ranks. I don't know the American system that well but given that the frats are nation wide, I assume there's a concern with whatever being found out (even if it's just underage drinking) affecting the reputation of the frat as a whole and not just the one in this particular college
Similar thing happened with the Hipps case - many witnesses yet they refuse to talk about it:
