Nope. Their comment was framed in context of the OP, you went off on a tangent about ancient regional conflicts.

From the NYT:

The phone records of one victim showed calls to her recent boyfriend before she was killed.​

There were seven unanswered phone calls made from the phone of one of the victims, Ms. Goncalves, to her recent boyfriend in the early morning hours on Sunday, according to her older sister, Alivea Goncalves, based on phone logs she was able to download from the phone provider.

The first call to the boyfriend, Jack DuCoeur, was at 2:26 a.m., and there were six more over the next 26 minutes, with the final one at 2:52, Ms. Goncalves said. She said Mr. DuCoeur, also a student at the university, missed them because he was sleeping, and that her sister’s phone account did not show any other calls.

Ms. Goncalves said Mr. DuCoeur had been a childhood friend of her sister’s and that they had been dating for years until recently, when they decided to take an amicable break. Ms. Goncalves said she and her family “stand behind Jack 100 percent and know he absolutely had nothing to do with this at all.”

Bill Thompson, the top prosecutor in Latah County, said investigators were looking at cellphone tower data and social media information to try to determine who was in the immediate area at the time of the killings.
 
I'm starting to think an ex roommate. Whoever it was knew the house, knew how to enter and leave and may have a grudge against those who took his/her place

By this point I would be surprised if he's not in an interrogation room right now.

I'm reading over on Reddit and apparently Jack is an ex bf of the one girl but they have remained friends for the past 6 years. And idk how true it is but the post says he's already been questioned and ruled out as a suspect.

That is about as far-fetched as my Trumpist theory, who killed the college students because he blamed them for Republican election losses.

Tbh I have also wondered if there were any recent conflicts as far as the house residency goes. What was the length of time that those four had been living there and if someone prior had been evicted. Were the bf/gf together before moving into the home or did they meet and become a couple after the fact. We know by the reports that the two females grew up together. Without knowing the answers, I'll throw out a hypothetical.

The three girls all lived there awhile, as did the two that had the basement bedrooms. There was a male roommate who tried to hook up with the three female victims and eventually they got uncomfortable with the whole thing so they got him evicted. The new male roommate moves in and in a short time he and the female victim become a couple. The evicted roommate takes revenge on the three women for shunning his advances and getting him evicted, and obviously the male stole what the killer felt was suppose to be his role with the three.

Has it been confirmed what the sex of the other two roommates is?

Well I thought it highly improbable they were all killed at the same time, while awake. And they weren't.

Yeah, I saw that this am too. But still...and it sure ups the ante for a psycho killer out there.

I'm still leaning to someone they knew.

It seems to me the authorities were pretty quick to try and suggest this was a directed attack when they haven't suggested they have a person of interest, a motive or even a weapon (other than a large knife). totally has shades of the mayor in JAWS telling everyone it's safe to spend the holiday in the water.

It should be noted that Moscow, Idaho (a city of 30.000) didn't have a murder since 2015 before those 4 ...

Idaho is the US state with the 3rd-lowest murder rate (1-2 per 100.000 a year, vs. 7-8 in the US).

I would bet that most adults in Idaho own one, or many more, guns. New Hampshire, whose concealed carry regs are, if you're legal to own, you're legal to carry, is also at the bottom of the crime and violence ratings. There goes the theory that guns cause crime.

Seems like a safe bet, and a relatively recent picture based on the people in it and other pictures of the victims. Probably the crime scene house where the picture was taken. Those 2 are damn lucky the killer was lazy or laser focused on a particular victim and didn't clear the house.
 
Report says that there was no sign of forced entry. I’m not surprised. College students live in their own little world and don’t spend much time considering the potential danger around them. In other words, they very well could have been quite casual about actually locking the door. Of course, I lived with five other GUYS in a house in college, but I can’t ever remember that we ever locked the door.
 
Okay from a report I just read, there were five roommates and the male victim was just spending the night with his girlfriend. Which answers my question on how a dude managed to swing living in a dorm with 4 women. lol
 
I've never attacked someone with a knife but am trying to imagine the rage it took to use a "Rambo"-style knife on a person. What I can't fathom is attacking and killing four people. Meth?
 
Most homicides involve relationships between the deceased and the killers. This is particularly likely given the fact that the deceased died in their own homes. The police probably already have a pretty good idea who did it but need evidence.
