TERROR IN IDAHO

By Bob Walsh


University of Idaho sign reads "The student recreation center is closed."


I have not been to Moscow, Idaho in perhaps 60 years.  It was a nice place.  The university has been there since 1889.  It was a land grant university begun when Idaho was still a territory.  It's first graduating class was in 1896.  That was four people, two men and two women.  There are about 12,000 students there now, which is about half the total population of the city.  And many of them are scared shitless.

If news reports are to be believed many of the students have fled the campus in the wake of the horrific murders there.  The cops still have very little information, at least very little information that they are sharing, other than they believe these to be targeted murders as opposed to random violence.  Two young women who were sleeping in the off-campus house at the time were not harmed and apparently slept thru the attacks.  There are now 22 FBI agents there, which is probably almost the number of local cops in the area.  

They have yet to find the murder weapon or a suspect.  I hope they do so soon.  The investigative power of modern police technology is prodigious and has been brought fully to bear on the case.  I truly hope it will be successful.

My 2 cents. The boyfriend did it.

Either the cops don't know or they are playing it really close to the chest. Of course they get about one murder a decade in Moscow so it is possible their investigative technique is a bit rusty.
