HORROR INJURIES Cops say students suffered 'defensive wounds' & reveal info on mystery man "MOSCOW PUBLIC ALERT: This sounds like clickbait but it's not. Last night after 2am, our neighbors' sweet little dog was skinned like a deer," the October 22 post reads. "No animal did this. Our dog is bigger, and was so anxious about the same time that he tore his bed up into a thousand pieces. Also, our cat has been missing for the last couple of days." "Not sure if it's tied to Halloween, and I don't really care, I'll be chambering all my firearms, and I would suggest everyone else in North Moscow do the same," Hughes added.

Amid the investigation, officials have revealed that the four students were likely asleep during the assault, however some had defensive wounds and each victim was stabbed multiple times. There was no sign of sexual assault, police have said. Chapin, the sole male victim, did not live in the home but was visiting his girlfriend Kernodle. Two other roommates were at home on the night of the murders and police later determined they were note involved in the crime. If the four college students were awake during the attack, one expert has suggested that they might not have screamed for help because they were too shocked. "People aren't talking when they are focused on not dying. That doesn't disturb me too much. It's not TV," Former Los Angeles Police Department Det. Mark Fuhrman told Fox News Digital.

Herman Weisberg said to Fox News Digital. ...You have to have a suspect or a reason to say that. They have a murder mystery here. No forced entry, which could have led them to believe it was a crime of passion or someone who knew them.... Fuhrman echoed that sentiment telling the outlet that it "doesn't make sense." "The 'targeted attack,' even if that is true, it just doesn't make sense,... he said. ...In my 20 years in the LAPD, I have never heard anything like that. You can't make that determination that quick. ...…To have them say this was an isolated, targeted attack, they could be 100% right, but they have to have something that made them say that," Fuhrman added. Autumn Goncalves, the sister of one of the four victims, has also warned that the attack may not be isolated. Read More on The US Sun
