Friday 18 November 2022 06:23 AM Sister of murdered University of Idaho student urges campus evacuation as ... trends now
The sister of one of the University of Idaho students killed in a brutal quadruple murder over the weekend urged any students still at the school to evacuate.
Aubrie Goncalves, whose sister Kaylee was stabbed to death by an unknown assailant, warned any students in Moscow, Idaho, that they were not safe so long as the mysterious killer was still at large.
Goncalves made plea on her Instagram account on Wednesday, writing 'No one is in custody and therefore no one is safe.'
'To the students of the University of Idaho that are still staying around campus, leave. Your grades are severely less important than your lives,' she wrote. 'I wish all the students of U of I safety and peace. You guys are not safe until this sicko is found.
The distraught sister's warning comes as the father of another victim, Xana Kernodle, revealed that his daughter's body showed signs that she had defended herself from her killer.
Jeffrey Kernodle told CBS 5 that autopsy reports showed that Xana's skin showed 'Bruises, torn by the knife.'
'She's a tough kid. Whatever she wanted to do, she could do it,' he said.
Xana was killed alongside her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin. Both were 20-years-old. Kaylee was 21, as was their friend and the fourth victim, Madison Mogen. The group were murdered sometime in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Two University of Idaho students were inside the house where the attack went down and survived. Their names are Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, DailyMail.com can reveal.
On Wednesday, police revealed both Dylan and Bethany were in the modest Moscow home at the time of the attack but miraculously survived the carnage.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, Idaho State Police spokesman Aaron Snell said the two survivors are helping police with their investigation but would not give further details of how they survived or whether either Dylan or Bethany called 911 later on Sunday morning.
He also told DailyMail.com the pair are not suspects but said every possibility is being looked at by the investigative team which now includes detectives from the Idaho State Police and the FBI as well as the Moscow Police Department.
