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.

For those questioning about the roommates, I’ve read that the house has a basement where they were sleeping and that everyone had been drinking, which helps explain why they didn’t hear anything or report till later. Little chilling that they didn’t release who called 911 atm, but understandable with the “ongoing investigation.”

Still kind of terrifying that this happened and that there’s not much info. Hope by the time students return from break that there’s more info, unless that means the killer is going home too.
