Idaho police said they have looked into an incident involving Idaho murder victim Kaylee Goncalves "at a local business, which may have been the stalker reference she made to friends and family." The update came as police continue to search for any suspects in a Nov. 13 quadruple homicide that left four University of Idaho students – 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves; 21-year-old Madison Mogen; 20-year-old Xana Kernodle; and 20-year-old Ethan Chapin – stabbed to death in their off-campus home on Nov. 13. Kaylee's father said he "can't" specify whether he believes his daughter or any of the other victims were targets of the attack. "I asked for permission to do just that, and they said no," Goncalves said of police. "I probably over-disclosed information that they wish I wouldn't have said, but the story's going cold. There's less people coming to Moscow. I'm not going to go sleep in my bed knowing that I could get up and I could go to town and I could do something, and I'm not going to go away. I hate to be a pain, but as a father, I just can't even sleep thinking that I could be doing something." More than three weeks later, police are still trying to fill in an unknown timeline of events for Chapin and Kernodle, who were boyfriend and girlfriend, the night before the murders. It is unclear where they went or what they did between then and the time they arrived at home around 1:45 a.m. on Nov. 13. Police are asking the public to share any information they may have about the couple's timeline that evening or early the next morning.
