Idaho murders: What we know and what's still a mystery

"Everyone wants answers... we want to give those answers as soon as we can," Moscow Police Chief James Fry told ABC News on Wednesday, adding that some details must be withheld to protect the investigation.Kaylee Goncalves, 21, her roommate and lifelong best friend, Madison Mogen, 21, another roommate Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kernodle's boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death in the girls' off-campus house in the early hours of Nov. 13.

Garrett said high-profile cases put a lot of pressure on officials and it's"not uncommon" to see uncoordinated responses among the different agencies.Garrett said his guess is the attacker"really wanted to kill all four of them -- motive unknown and relationship to the victims unknown." He thinks the suspect is probably not in their late teens or early 20s because it's unlikely they could"methodically think through" four murders.

At 11:58 a.m., a 911 call from one of the roommate's phones requested help for an unconscious person, police said. The 911 caller's identity has not been released but police said"multiple people talked with the 911 dispatcher."Police said they do not believe anyone at the house at the time of the 911 call was involved.

"You then also have to expand this case -- and it sounds like they've done some of this -- because if you're dealing with a person who is a serial offender, then he has committed some version of this before," Garrett said."Are there other stabbings of a similar nature? Maybe in a house at night?" "I would push the heinous nature of this crime," Garrett said, and stress that police need the community's help to"get this person off the street."The University of Idaho community is on edge in the wake of the slayings, and the police department said it's received an influx of 911 calls.
