Police said that in mid-October, two men appeared to follow Goncalves inside the local Moscow business and then followed her to her car, but made no contact.

After speaking to the two men, police determined that it was an isolated incident and said there was no evidence to suggest they were involved in the killings.

Monday’s update revealed that two men were seen inside the unknown business before they went their separate ways, with one man following Goncalves inside the business. He was later seen following her out of the business as she walked to her car.

The man walked away from her and did not appear to have made any contact with her, police said. Police did not say at which business the incident occurred.

Police contacted both men and learned that the two were trying to meet women at the business, which was corroborated through further investigation.

Police also revealed Monday that no evidence was found on Goncalves’ dog, Murphy, who was found at the scene. It has not yet been determined which room the dog was in when the murders occurred.

“During the search of the house, a dog was found in a room where the crimes had not been committed,” according to the statement.

Officers did not find any evidence on the dog and there was no indication that the animal had entered the crime scene. The dog was taken to Animal Services and turned over to a responsible person.

Three weeks after the grizzly murders, few answers have surfaced and authorities have yet to name a suspect or even a person of interest in the case.

Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21. Her roommate Xana Kernodle, 20, and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death on November 13, likely in their sleep.

Kaylee and Madison slept on the third floor, and Xana and Ethan were on the second floor. Police said the killer entered the home through a sliding glass door on the second floor, which was level with the backyard.

Two other roommates were in the house but were unharmed and unaware that the attack occurred. They were sleeping on the first floor.

“We believe that someone has information that will add context to the picture that investigators are creating of what happened that night,” Moscow police said in a statement Monday.

‘Our focus is research, not activities. Your information, whether you think it’s important or not, could be one of the pieces of the puzzle that helps solve these murders.

Last week, Idaho State Police spokesman Aaron Snell told Dailymail.com that all four victims may have been the targets of the gruesome stabbings on November 13.

He confirmed that investigators have gathered enough evidence to suggest the killings were targeted, but admitted they are no closer to identifying the killer yet.

Monday’s update said: ‘We have not changed our belief that the killings were a targeted attack. However, investigators have not concluded whether the target was the residence or its occupants.

Autopsies determined that all four students were stabbed to death, likely with a fixed-blade knife, and investigators checked with local stores to see if any had recently sold military-style knives.
