Police have been tight-lipped over the course of nearly seven weeks since the killings, which prompted investigations by the FBI, state police and Moscow police.
"There was other people home at that time, but we're not just focusing just on them, we're focusing on everybody that may be coming and going from that residence," he said.The university's often-packed parking lots had many empty spots after scores of students decided to return home or leave the area.
One week after the bodies of the four students were discovered, authorities still had no suspect or weapon, Moscow Police Captain Roger Lanier said. The family expressed thanks to its community and extended family and friends, whom Stacy Chapin called "beacons of strength." She also expressed gratitude to strangers across the country who had reached out to express support.
Police then had to further clarify they believe the attack was indeed "targeted," but investigators have not concluded if the target was the residence or its occupants.Regarding Goncalves' possibly having a stalker, police said investigators identified an incident in October in which two men were seen at a business and one man appeared to follow Goncalves inside and as she exited to her car. The man did not make contact with her.
Due to the number of tips received, calls were being directed to an FBI call center to help sort leads received, police said."We are still 100% committed to solving this crime," Moscow Police Capt. Lanier said in a video update on the investigation. Everyone in Moscow should be aware of their surroundings, avoid walking in dark places and walk in groups when possible, Lanier said.
