‘Crime of passion’: Four uni students killed

TikTok videos have emerged of murdered University of Idaho student Kaylee Goncalves with her adorable dog Murphy.

Video of Kaylee with her pup has gone viral after she and three others students were killed on November 13 – with the murderer still at large.

In one video, Kaylee dances with Murphy to Everything She Ain’t by Hailey Whitters, the New York Post reports.

On Monday, the Moscow Police Department said officers had “located a dog at the residence” after the brutal murders – who had been spared the brutality, alongside two surviving roommates on the first floor of the property.

“If only the dog could speak :( rip beautiful girls,” one commenter wrote on the video of Kaylee with the dog.

Police had said that “the dog was unharmed and turned over to Animal Services”.

Kaylee shared the dog with her on/off-boyfriend Jack DuCoeur – whom she was on a break from dating at the time of the murders – her sister told the New York Times.

She and her friend Madison Mogen, 21, called Jack 10 times shortly before they were killed, but her parents have insisted he is not to blame for the gruesome deaths and told of his devastation at losing his girlfriend.

Couple Ethan Chapin, 20, and Xana Kernodle, 20, were also among those murdered on the second and third floors of the house.

The dog appeared in the background of another TikTok video, and seemed beloved by all the roommates at the six-bedroom off campus home.

Kaylee’s TikToks have racked up millions of views since her death.

Police have still not identified a suspect in the murder, although Kaylee’s parents, Steve and Kristi Goncalves, said police told them the killer was “sloppy” and left a mess of evidence.

“It was a complex and terrible crime and it will take some time to resolve,” Moscow Police Chief James Fry warned.

“We believe they’re targeted because we take a totality of all the circumstances we’re looking at. Do we know any one person that was targeted?

“We’re not able to say at this point in time due to our investigation, but we still believe that.”
