It's very odd. Seems like from the article there were also two people in the house who weren't attacked and apparently aren't suspects?

From the article:

> Two other people were found alive and unhurt in the large home.

How you can rule its safe for the public if you dont know who did it or have any idea what a motive could be

It could be a fucking serial killer for all we know at this point

I figured at first that they knew who it was and were planning to arrest them, but now they're saying no suspect at all? And with zero idea of sho did it, they declare that the community is safe?? Unreal.

This tragedy has all the tropes of a summer horror movie

I live in the area and interact with U of I students and I’ve heard the house where it happened is of good size and the other roommates lived in the basement, which helps explain why no one heard much.

iirc, 5 people lived there (3 of the murdered and the 2 others) so that checks out on the size.

They do but they don’t want that person to get in trouble.

Easy!

You ask yourself, “what would the mayor from Jaws do?”, and you do exactly that.

They’ve calculated the risk to their own legitimacy, and have acted accordingly

Yet they also called it a "crime of passion." How do they know the motive I they don't even have a suspect?

It also seems very odd to me that there were other people home at the time, the murders occurred around 3AM, and they weren’t reported until noon. I know people sleep in, but it seems strange that they didn’t hear anything and that the killer(s) didn’t search the rest of the house.

Not surprised, Idaho cops aren’t the best and very conservative which usually comes with ego. Hope they allow capable people to investigate.

Seems weird, I thought I read there were other people in the home while the murders took place, maybe everyone was so drunk they slept through screams etc.

Sometimes I’m glad I live in the big bad city. There are cameras everywhere so killers are found quickly.

Sherlock Holmes story, The Adventure of the Copper Beeches:

> "They always fill me with a certain horror. It is my belief, Watson founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside."

> "You horrify me!"

> "But the reason is very obvious. The pressure of public opinion can do in the town what the law cannot accomplish. There is no lane so vile that the scream of a tortured child, or the thud of a drunkard's blow, does not beget sympathy and indignation among the neighbours, and then the whole machinery of justice is ever so close that a word of complaint can set it going, and there is but a step between the crime and the dock. But look at those lonely houses, each in its own fields, filled for the most part with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser."

Well this is weird as fuck. I thought you redditors would've solved it by now. That sister is an oddball
