US students living in fear month after massacre in shared house

Four friends were knifed in their beds in a remote college town in Idaho. Police have found no motives or suspects

Becca Whitmer used to love a party, but now she tries to be in her room at the University of Idaho by five o’clock each evening with the door bolted. She will not step back out into the snow-blanketed streets until the morning. You can see why.

Almost a month ago in the small, remote college town of Moscow four of her fellow students were stabbed to death in their beds. No motive has emerged for the crimes, which were not discovered until the morning after, and although tips and theories have poured in from across the country, police have released few details as to how the murders were carried out. The killer is still at large.
