Community remembers University of Idaho murder victims: ‘Vibrant and wild, carefree’

Hundreds of people gathered for a candlelight vigil in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho Wednesday for four University of Idaho students who were murdered earlier this week.

Community members gathered at Independence Point to remember the students — Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21 — who were found dead in their home the morning of Nov. 13.

Among the mourners was Angela Navejas, the organizer of the vigil and who knew the students through her daughter. "They were vibrant and wild, carefree and loving," Navejas said, according to Coeur d’Alene Press.

She added: "We know the bright stars they were here on Earth. They are up there looking down on us."

Kirsten Rowley, a former co-worker of Goncalves, described her as a "ball of sunshine" and described her and Mogen, her best friend, as inseparable, according to Coeur d’Alene Press.

"My heart hurts so bad for the people who lost both of them," Rowley said.

Rowley and Goncalves previously worked together at Dutch Bros on Northwest Boulevard.

Garrett Sciortino, who described Kernodle as his best friend in high school, shared some good and fun memories, saying it is what she would have wanted.

"I know if she were standing here, she would want us to remember the good times," Sciortino told the outlet.

He added: "Xana, I know you’re listening right now. I just want to tell you I love you. I always have and I always will."

Sciortino also called on law enforcement to do "everything" in their power to "bring the monster responsible to justice."

Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris was also in attendance at the event.

"Kootenai County, the state and the nation mourn with the families and friends of the victims of this horrible criminal act," Norris said.

Separately, Ethan Chapin’s family shared with the Associated Press the last memories they had of their son, who is a triplet, was at a dance hosted by Maizie's sorority.

"He was our daughter Maizie's date, and his brother was Maizie's roommates date," Chapin’s mother, Stacy Chapin, said in an interview Wednesday. "They all spent their last day together, all dressed up, and had a great time. We’re all thankful that they spent that time together."

The mother added: "He could read any situation and make it better. He was just so carefree."

During a press conference earlier in the day, Moscow Police Department Chief James Fry provided additional details on the quadruple homicide.

He said there is "possibly" still a threat to the Moscow community as no persons of interest or suspects have been placed in custody as of Wednesday evening.

University of Idaho President Scott Green also spoke at the presser, describing the students’ deaths as "beyond comprehension."

"First, my deepest condolences to the families and friends of Ethan, Kaylie, Zina and Madison," Green said. "Their loss has been devastating and they were bright lights in our community and are deeply missed and remain in our thoughts and our prayers."

He added: "While our small community is certainly not immune to such things. It's not a situation our close-knit campus is used to dealing with."

The school administrator said the school is fully cooperating with Moscow police "when asked and continually pushed for information whenever possible."

Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry shine as Titans down Packers in frigid Lambeau Field

The Frozen Tundra has normally been a home field advantage for the Green Bay Packers - but that was not the case on Thursday night.

The Tennessee Titans went into Lambeau Field and took down the Green Bay Packers, 27-17.

The snow was falling, and the wind chill was in the teens at Lambeau Field, but that didn’t stop Ryan Tannehill. 

On a 3rd and 7 on the first drive of the night, he found rookie Treylon Burks for 43 yards to continue the drive. Five plays later, he found Dontrell Hilliard for a 14-yard touchdown to give the Titans a 7-0 lead.

After both teams exchanged punts, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers went on an 11-play, 78-yard drive that was capped off by a 14-yard score by rookie Christian Watson, who scored three touchdowns last week. But the PAT was blocked, so the Titans held a one-point lead.

The Titans responded with an 18-play drive that went all the way inside the Packers’ five-yard line, but Derrick Henry was stuffed on 4th and 1 to turn the ball over on downs. However, the Packers punted from their own end zone, giving the Titans excellent field position. In their final drive of the half, Henry found the end zone and gave Tennessee a 14-6 lead into the half.

The Packers opened up the second half with a field goal to make it a five-point game, but once again, it was Henry making things happen. After he took a reception 42 yards inside the Green Bay 10-yard line, he took a handoff two plays later, but actually leaped and threw it to a wide open Austin Hooper in the end zone. The ensuing PAT doinked off the upright, but it was a 20-9 Titans lead.

Rodgers marched on his next drive, though, completing passes for 28 and 23 yards before finding Watson again in the end zone. With the Titans missing the PAT, the Packers went for two, and Aaron Jones ran it in to make it 20-17 Tennessee. However, Tannehill remained unfazed by the conditions in Wisconsin. After a 32-yard reception by Robert Woods, Hooper caught his second touchdown of the night three plays later, this one for 16 yards, making it a 27-17 Titans lead.

Tannehill threw a pick in the fourth, but the Packers couldn't take advantage. In their four fourth-quarter drives, they went three-and-out twice and turned it over on downs twice.

The Titans quarterback finished with 333 yards through the air on 22-of-27 passing. Burks finished with seven catches for 111 yards, while Henry ran for 87 yards on 28 carries. As for Green Bay, Rodgers completed 24 of his 39 attempts for 227 yards. Randall Cobb led all Packers receivers with six catches and 73 yards.

Tennessee improved to 7-3 after starting the season 0-2, while Green Bay is now 4-7, having lose six of their last seven games. The Titans will host to Cincinnati Bengals (5-4) in Week 12, while Green Bay will head to Philly to face the 8-1 Eagles.
