Four University of Idaho students, who also shared an off-campus home, were killed in November.
The university identified the four murdered students as Ethan Chapin, 20, of Conway, Washington, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, of Rathdrum, Idaho, Xana Kernodle, 20, of Avondale, Arizona, and Madison Mogen, 21, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
Here’s what we know about them.
Xana core model was a positive, funny woman, said her sister Jazzmin. “She has made me such a proud big sister, and I wish I could have spent more time with her. She still had so much life to live.”
Kernodle was a junior who studied marketing and was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority, the university said.
Ethan Chapin was a kind and loyal person, his mother Stacy Chapin said in a statement. “It breaks my heart to know that we will never be able to hug or smile to Ethan again, but it is also unbearable to think about the horrific way he was taken from us.”
Chapin was one of triplets enrolled at the University of Idaho, the family said in a statement. He was a freshman majoring in recreation, sports and tourism management and was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, the university said.
Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen
Kaylee Goncalves’ older sister, Alivea Goncalves, sent a statement to the Idaho Statesman on behalf of her family and Madison Mogen’s family.
“They were smart, they were watchful, they were careful, and all of this happened anyway,” she said.
According to the university, Goncalves was a senior majoring in general studies and a member of the Alpha Phi sorority.
Mogen, also a senior, studied marketing and was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority, the university said.
