A neighbor of the four University of Idaho students who were brutally stabbed to death has come forward to report hearing a scream on the night of the murders.
Inan Harsh, 30, who lives in a building next to the off-campus house, said he came back from his job as a cook around 1.30 a.m. on November 13 and then heard someone screaming, he said. he told the Idaho Statesman.
As he dozed off around 4 a.m., he assumed it was a “party sound” coming from the six-bedroom house at 1122 King St. in Moscow, where the sisters of the sorority slain often held meetings on weekends.
“I didn’t think anything about it,” Harsh told the newspaper. “After what happened, I certainly had my doubts. Maybe it wasn’t a party sound.
Harsh said he did not mention the troubling detail to police in an initial conversation, but then contacted investigators after realizing someone may have been screaming in distress.
“I’m not sure how good it feels to them now,” he said.
The neighbor said he also spotted an unknown black luxury SUV at 1:30 a.m. parked a few spaces in front of the house, which he reported to police.
The timeline of the scream reported by Harsh matches that of when police believe an intruder entered the three-story home and killed Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, with a knife.
Two other housemates, who lived on the first floor of the house, escaped unharmed.
After nearly a month, the case remains a mystery, with the police and FBI announcing no suspects or profiles of the possible killer.
