A man who lives near the house where four University of Idaho students were killed last month said he heard an early morning scream of attacks in the crime scene area, according to a local report.
Inan Harsh, a local chief, told the Idaho statesman that he came home around 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 13 after working late. The house at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho, was usually busy even then, he told the news site, but instead “there weren’t many ‘activity”.
Hours later, as he began to fall asleep around 4 a.m., he said he heard what sounded like a scream coming from the 1122 King Road area, the Statesman reported. However, Harsh reportedly didn’t think much of the scream and instead associated it with a “party sound” rather than a more negative value.

“I didn’t think anything about it,” Harsh told the news site. “After what happened, I definitely changed my mind. Maybe it wasn’t a party sound.”
He reportedly said he didn’t initially tell the police about the sound, adding: ‘I don’t know what use it is to them now.’
