University of Idaho murders: Cops believe killer ‘proud of’ the ‘brutal weapon’

idaho-university-murder.jpg?quality=75&s

The father of one of the four victims in the Nov. 13. University of Idaho stabbings says his daughter suffered “large punctures” from a “brutal weapon.”

Steve Goncalves — father of slain Kaylee Goncalves, 21 — said he learned a little more about who the police believe is responsible for the attack Tuesday.

“The detective said this weapon is probably something [the killer] paid money for and something that they’re proud of,” he told ABC news in his first on-screen interview.

He also vented his upset that the killer is “having a great life out there, and [we’re] just left in shambles.”

Kaylee, best friend Madison Mogen, also 21, housemate Xana Kernodle, 20, and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20, were all stabbed in their beds with a fixed-blade knife by an intruder as they slept around 3 in the morning.

The only solace Steve has been able to take is how the killings were “fast and nobody suffered and nobody felt that kind of pain.”

Steve also said the family has not had a funeral for Kaylee because they were worried the still-unidentified killer could attend.

“My wife’s biggest fear, part of the reason we didn’t have a funeral, is because she couldn’t be guaranteed that that monster was going to not be there,” he told the outlet. 

He also added: “I haven’t earned the ability to grieve the way that I want to grieve, I want to be able to have justice first.

However, despite huge resources from Moscow police and FBI officers investigating the murders, combing through thousands of pieces of evidence, no details about the killer, their motive or what happened to the murder weapon have been made public.

New video footage obtained by The Post shows forensic investigators continuing to examine the crime scene yesterday, where they dusted windows for fingerprints and walked through the interior. Law enforcement was also spotted in a wooded area near the home while mournful neighbors looked on.

Meanwhile, one of Mogen’s sorority sisters has said how the evening was eerily regular just hours before her friend was brutally slain.

“It was just a normal night in Moscow,” Madison Moye, 21, told Fox News Digital of the last time she saw her friend and neighbor Mogen on the night of Nov. 12.

Mogen spent “the majority of the night” at Moscow’s Corner Club, Moye said. “[Madison] was just laughing with all her friends,” she remembered.

According to police, Mogen left the bar around 1:30 a.m. with her housemate Kaylee Goncalves. The pair stopped at a food truck before returning to their King Road home shortly before 2 a.m.

Despite police’s apparent lack of progress, the grieving parent said he was confident they would get justice.

“I have to assume and hope that this is all part of their plan and … they’ve got this all figured out,” he explained. “I know that there’s some really good, hard-working guys and girls that are on this case that I’ve met. And they looked me in the eyes and they told me straight out that they’re working and they’re doing everything in their power.”

Goncalves was planning on moving to Texas after her graduation in the spring, Steve told ABC. She and Mogen were lifelong best friends.

“You can’t imagine sending your girl to college and they come back … in an urn,” he lamented. “You’re numb … you can’t absorb that amount of pain and agony … I hope people understand how all these kids … were doing everything right and they were going to be the type of people that you want to be your neighbor.”

Last week, investigators announced a possible connection between the Moscow killings and the unsolved double stabbing of an Oregon couple in August 2021. On Monday, however, local police confirmed that “there does not appear to be any evidence to support the cases are related.”

While law enforcement scrambles to find a suspect, University of Idaho students remain terrified in the once-peaceful college town. University President C. Scott Green announced last week that students who did not wish to return to campus until an arrest had been made would be accommodated. 

“As such, faculty have been asked to prepare in-person teaching and remote learning options so that each student can choose their method of engagement for the final two weeks of the semester,” he wrote in a statement.

Pakistan suicide blast targeting police kills 3, wounds 28

2022-11-30T05:40:09Z

A suicide bomb blast in Pakistan’s southwestern city of Quetta targeted a police patrol on Wednesday, killing three people and wounding 28, police said.

The explosion, claimed by the Pakistani Taliban militant group, or Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in a text message to Reuters, came after the group ended a ceasefire with the government this week.

“A bomb blast that targeted a police patrol wounded more than 30 people, including 15 police,” a police official, Abdul Haq, told Reuters. “Out of them, a policeman, a woman and a child died.”

The patrol had been guarding a polio vaccination team at the time of the suicide blast, he added.

Islamist militants in Pakistan often target polio vaccination teams, in the belief that the immunisation effort is a Western tool to spy on them.

Quetta is the capital of Pakistan’s province of Balochistan bordering Afghanistan and Iran, where both Islamist and separatist insurgents operate.

Taiwan vulnerable to China as US focuses on Ukraine

(NewsNation) — As the United States is focusing on supplying military aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia, some are wondering if the U.S. is leaving Taiwan out to dry.

Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday that the flow of arms and money to Ukraine will face new scrutiny.

With any funding, McCarthy said, the GOP will ensure “there is no blank check … there is accountability, and there’s audits.” McCarthy’s party is preparing to take control of the U.S. House.

Since the war started, the United States has sent more that $18 billion in defensive aid to Ukraine. Now, President Joe Biden is asking for another $22 billion in aid, and he wants Congress to approve it before Christmas.

Ukraine is fighting off the Russians with as many as seven thousand rounds a day, including howitzers, stinger anti-aircraft missiles and small arms fire.

The conflict is putting pressure on the Pentagon arms stockpile and leaving Taiwan waiting for promised U.S. weapons as it faces a growing military threat from mainland China.

A new report to Congress says delivery of weapons to Ukraine, along with supply chain issues, has created a backlog of arms shipments.

The incoming Republican chairman of the foreign affairs committee, Mike McCaul, vows that the new Congress elected will investigate.

“In some cases, we have more than a three year backlog of foreign military sales that I signed off on in my position that have yet to be delivered into Taiwan,” McCaul said in a statement.

U.S. officials are on record predicting that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan could come as early as 2027. The Navy’s top officer is going as far as to say it could come this year, or next.

At the White House, the national security council spokesman said the administration is working to get allies on the U.S. arms they’ve been promised.

“What I can tell you is that we are constantly balancing, as we must, our own inventories, the inventories of our allies and partners and people with whom we conduct arm sales. As well as, of course, the inventory that the Ukrainian armed forces need to fight the Russian aggression,” said John Kirby, the National Security Council spokesperson.

Sources at the Pentagon today pushed back on reports that continued aid to Ukraine is indirectly impacting Taiwan’s readiness. They say that Taiwan’s purchases are all new off the production line, and weapons heading to Ukraine are from existing stockpiles.
