Idaho police warn of 'criminal charges' for web sleuths engaged in 'harassing' amid 'misinformation'

Don't want to crowdsource a solution?
[FoxNews] Four University of Idaho students were attacked in their sleep on Nov. 13 -- and police have not publicly named any suspects.

Police urged the internet's true crime community to tone things down Friday, nearly four weeks after the unsolved slayings of four University of Idaho students captured national attention.

"Investigators have been monitoring online activity related to this ongoing and active case and are aware of the large amount of rumors and misinformation being shared as well as harassing and threatening behavior toward potentially involved parties," Moscow police said in a statement Friday afternoon.

They did not identify the "potentially involved parties."

Police say Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20, were killed in a rental house on King Road just steps off campus between 3 and 4 a.m. on Nov. 13.

Closing in on a month later, police have not publicly named any suspects or persons of interest – and they released few details before Wednesday, when they asked the public for help finding the occupant or occupants of a white 2011 to 2013 Hyundai Elantra seen near the victims' home around the time of the slayings.

Police say anyone in the Elantra may have "critical information to share" in the case.

Two other roommates were on the ground level and escaped harm, police have said. Goncalves' dog was also unharmed.

A robust community of true crime followers has been discussing the case broadly across social media, in Facebook groups, subreddits, Discord servers, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok and elsewhere.

#5 They remember the case a few months ago when the internet people found the girl in 45 minutes when the police had spent 20,000 man hours and couldn't. Can't make the stasi look bad.
