The city of Moscow, Idaho identified Ethan Chapin, 20, of Conway, Wash. as one of the victims Monday. Conway is about six miles south of Mount Vernon.
The other victims were identified as Madison Mogen, 21, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Xana Kernodle, 20, of Avondale, Ariz.; and Kaylee GonCalves, 21, of Rathdrum, Idaho.
Officers with the Moscow Police Department were called to the home on King Road on Nov. 13 at 11:58 a.m. after reports of an unconscious person. When they got there, officers found four people who were dead. All four are University of Idaho students.
Police said the deaths are suspected homicides.

Ethan was raised by two amazing parents 👏
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Chapin for sharing about your son. Humbled by your willingness, and even ability, to function at this unimaginable grievous time. Can not begin to imagine your pain. I am truly sorry for your priceless loss, and can only pray for you both and Evan's siblings. Also, thank you to the amazing reporter interviewing. Could not respect you more. Almost unheard of graciousness at this time of tragedy. Thank you for showing care to these hurting folks and not asking foolish, inappropriate questions.
❤ one day at a time, Hugs from southern Idaho
Beautifully said. Such a big loss.
Beautifully said.
To Mr.& Mrs Chapin, my heart goes out to you and you're son's 2 siblings. I am so sorry for you're horrendous loss of a child. You we're so gracious for speaking about what a terrific young man you're son was.♥️ I'm sure it hasn't all sank in yet with all that's going on. The local interviewer was very compassionate which you don't always see these days. You've raised 3 beautiful children and you both should be proud of yourselves. I will keep you and you're family in my prayers. You're son is an angel watching over you all and will always be there. There's nothing I could say will ease you're pain and I'm truly sorry. My sincere condolences,🙏🇨🇦
Very well said, you described how we all feel
Lost my 20 year old son 3 years ago. It's an unholy thing to deal with outliving your child. Not natural. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss and the others as well. So young and beautiful and balanced and full of life. I have no words to comfort you for there are none. Peace to your souls. SRA, NW FLORIDA 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Im so sorry,lost your son,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I loss my twin son 2 yrs ago in a car accident…and the guy that killed him did not serve any real time at all……it’s so hard to lose a child period….how are you holding up?.
The only light in such a tragedy
Is that those we love will wait for us
Sorry for ur loss hun😭❤🙏
So sorry for your loss 😭❤️
She's one smart momma! The way she is emotionally preparing to support his siblings is everything! His death will, as she said, impact them greatly! 🙏🏽
So much more grace than attacking the local cops and the Moscow community which must be devasted as well
@@paulstefi5714 yes so true ,man....😟
I feel so sorry for the families and the victims so horrible on them and when they interviewed Ethans parents I lost it felt so sorry for his mom and the dad but you could see the sadness in her face and her voice hope they get Justice for this evil criminal no one else life will be taken again not by him anyway 4 innocent lives lost at such a young a had there dreams a ahead of them what a shame evil 🙈 monster
@@dorisdoris1670 I'm pretty sure the dad is just as hurt inside he's just keeping it in like most men do. Poor family.
The journalist looks so much like Kaylee, I think. My heart goes out to the grieving families. Such a heavy, tragic loss.
That’s what I immediately thought
When the video first began, I thought they were showing a flashback vid of Kaylee. Striking resemblance.
I'm not the only one it seems, I thought the same thing... she was a real sweetheart. She had such a kind voice, and was very respectful.
I had to do a double take!!
She looks so much like her!
The father's face breaks my heart. Grace and prayers to you parents. So very very sorry about this horrid thing.
Same here , watching the father is so hard .
They look so lost and sad 😞…
Saaaame, omg I'm balling. 😭
When she said “the three of them,” that absolutely broke my heart 💔
It will be so hard for her to refer to just two it will always be three
These parents are in complete shock. You can tell there’s no possible way for them to fully process what has happened. My prayers are with them.
Exactly. They are way too calm
Way too early to be interviewing the parents. The media needs to give them their space.
@@mmc9828 They could have declined the interview
@@mmc9828 They seem eager to make it known that their Son wasn't God forbid a drug addict
Which is why her questions are annoying. To ask them to recount his life is just too soon and very sad.
This is gut wrenching. "I'm sorry" just doesn't cut it. This is a parent's worst nightmare. Losing a triplet must be unbelievably traumatic. My heart goes out to this entire family. It's understandable why you would want to do the interview, as painful as it must have been. Your son sounds like an incredible human being. The country is grieving with you. 💔
So very true. 😩😭💔🙏🏼💕
The pain and anguish in these parents faces is heartbreaking 💔 God bless them and help them through this horrible time that should have NEVER happened.
Man, these parents are strong. Bless their sweet hearts. They are going through the unimaginable and still able to share their beautiful son with all of us. I'll pray for them and all three of their children.
I can't believe they could do this but we are all different
@@thebeasters I think they are in shock and probably won't even remember doing this interview. Horrific . They seem such a Lovely family
@@joycejaime763 I suspect they are in such denial and shock that they are acting on auto pilot right now. They also want their child's reputation to be upheld. I have no idea how I would act, and I don't want to imagine.
@@joycejaime763 Why be cruel and callus with you're false misperceptions? There is no normal way to grieve a loss such as this.
This interview broke me. They seem like such a wonderful family, and you could FEEL their grief. That momma was SO strong and insightful! Talking about learning to be 2 when they've always been 3?! I can't imagine the heaviness of grief of your CHILD, and trying to be fully present and fully supportive to your surviving children. It seems like so much to expect from anyone. Hugs, momma...
They all do, all the parents just seem so decent.... I'm from Philly so I lost my ability to cry anymore tears.... we have double and triple homicides every weekend anymore!
@@DanielMulloy-bg6gw every time... any more? I hear people's sadness over losing someone to a violent crime? An thats what pops up in my mind? Is all of our children who witnessed family member's violent deaths? And how that influences our children and their futures.
Be strong parents, this now, *is the time for you to step up and be strong.
Love and.prayers for mom and dad!!
She's in shock and probably won't even remember doing the interview. I say this from experience. Bless their hearts. ❤️
I can only watch that? And in ethan's mom i see such strength. I have thinknof what xana's dad said about hiw tough she was.. and i see how ethan could have loved xana. I see the same strength in ethan's mom? In xana :)
May we have peace
My cousin was a week away from graduating at San Diego state when her ex boyfriend murdered her.. I’ll never forget staying the night at her apartment with my aunt. I’ve never heard that cry before, you could literally hear her heartbreaking with each gasp… my heart goes out to the parents of all of these kids whose lives got stolen..
I hope whoever did this to them never has a good night of sleep, and the image of doing those horrendous things to them haunts them forever. It infuriates me that there’s so many garbage “human beings” out in this world ruining so many peoples lives by their selfish actions.. I pray to all things holy that the scumbag(s) are caught soon.
@@sedg03 If you kill someone intentionally, they are a garbage human. Stop trying to excuse this kind of behavior.
@@sedg03 I don't know what you are doing - defending murderers and now are insulting 3rd world countries, but get it together.
@@sedg03 NO - you starting defending murderers. Sit TF down and stop defending murderers. We are all really clear on "how our system works." Someone who fillets 4 people IS A GARBAGE HUMAN. No one said anything about "non human." There is no discussion about this. There is no listening to your opinion. You are wrong and are babbling on about prison and letting people free or innocent people going to jail. WHAT? What are you even talking about???!!!!! You are arguing with yourself. No one said we should let people free. I can't tell if you are 10 years old or just super ignorant. The person who did this crime in Idaho IS A GARBAGE HUMAN, PERIOD.
@@sedg03 You might want to invest in anti-psycho meds before you let murderers hide in your home to chill because you think they needed to be treated "humanely." You are really crazy.
@@sedg03 you're right not garbage they're PURE EVIL. GOD HATES EVILDOERS and not everyone is of GOD. Many times nothing has happened to a EVILDOERS THEY'RE JUST SIMPLY EVIL. and if anyone did experience trauma in childhood they have choice take your BS and talk to someone who needs help.
Just WOW ! The strength those parents have is immeasurably humbling. My 19 year old sister was murdered and raped in phoenix Arizona in 1992 and the pain NEVER goes away . I truly,truly have been broken ever since. Sending prayers and healing hugs to the entire Chapin family .
Mindy … I’m sorry for you too 💔
😢I’m so sorry
I know exactly what you mean. The pain never does go away . I am sorry you lost your sister and had to go thru that.
Oh..soo sorry to u..that senseless act hender ur life
Sooo sorry 😢
What an amazing mother. Dad too, what amazing parents. What strength. ❤
I’m extremely sorry for the loss of your beautiful son Ethan . Mom is going through the motions and Dad is barely making it , this is devastating.
🙏🏼😢
@@sugar392 yes I have a college age son I can not picture this ever happening. I keep asking did the frat un beknown allow a person with a serious psychotic disorder in ? They keep saying how the victim was a funny guy but not everyone responds the same to a joke.Even so a beat down or slashing tires is criminal but not extreme I still want to believe this is a Bundy type character and not a college student with a mental dis order.
Ya I feel ya
Oh wow, you were SPOT ON IT! "A Bundy thing"..!
Mom appears to be processing by talking through until she can make sense of it. I'm sure she's driving her hubby crazy, as you are right, dad appears to be deeply in shock. Mom is still in shock as well, I'm sure... but like myself, it appears she 'babbles' when she's desperately trying to make sense of a problem. I wish this problem could be solved.
My goal is to understand why these freaks are so evil in their intent. I don't want to 'profile' and arrest those we think could be like BK, but I think there is a way to identify and somehow keep tabs on the personality type, without invading their 'personal freedom'...I want to use this to find out how to stop the pscyho's from ruining anyone else's world.
As a parent of a murdered adult child,-four years ago, I deeply extend my condolences. He is safely in Gods hands.
Bless you and so sorry to hear that you lost your child.❤
well then do you think these parents are acting normal, doing interviews after such a violent tragedy? when I lost my 5 yr old daughter i was inconsolable, talked to NO ONE, no eat,sleep, just crying and crying alone, couldn't even speak, or breathe, and tears like niagara falls
@@AuroraRain-ss2fz you have absolutely no respect for anyone.
@@AuroraRain-ss2fz For me, after I found her body, I had to DO something. Funeral, lawyer, court, cornoer, cops, I had to have TONS of information. After 4 years I feel like I can rest. Sad, but rest.
@@AuroraRain-ss2fz not everyone grieves the same. go get help
My heart hurts for these parents ... Losing their son would have been devasting enough, but losing him in such a horrific way has to be beyond sad. I'm so very sorry for your loss, Mr and Mrs. Chapin. May God give you strength to get through the coming days and weeks ahead as you try to make sense of this awful tragedy.
god is a saddistic perverted sick f who takes pleasure from toying with human lives and inflicting pain on them i gave up on that religious crap a long time ago
@@OneSeasonMan The victims were mostly killed in their sleep (except one who was tried to resist) but all of it could have happened pretty quietly. Also, they live in a house. You don't hear every step someone takes in a house. If I remember it right, they were all out partying before, so the other roommates were possibly hungover and slept tightly. A lot of people also fall asleep to some sort of noise, like falling asleep to rain-sounds, or simply the TV etc., which also makes it a lot less likely to hear what's going on in other rooms.
They were not asleep. D heard Caylee say “someone is here” to Maddie. And xana was eating food from door dash and filming on tik tok at 4:15 in morning. They were murdered shortly after. They didn’t fall asleep and get murdered in 15 minutes.
Such wonderful parents who have raised awesome kids. I can’t even imagine. My heart breaks for this family, and the family of the others who were killed. I think of them every day. I pray they find the strength they need to continue to go on without these beautiful young people in their lives. I admire this mother for setting straight the untrue rumors. A protective momma. ❤
The sound of her voice struggling to keep it together and the look on his Dads face literally breaks my heart.
I pray that God will bless them with strength to get through this!
And he sheds some light on helping LE find the devil that did this!❤
I am very sorry for their loss. His parents speak really highly about Ethan. What is most painful for his family is the brutal way he left this world. I hope the person or persons behind this quadruple crime is brought to justice as soon as possible.
I’m so glad these parents are doing this for their son. I can not imagine what they are going through.
They really honored their beautiful boy. Bless them.
Meu Deus,quanta crueldade
It is a gift they are giving to their son and it is a way to help them process their grief. I am honored to have heard their son's story and will only listen to these parents going forward.
Your story has reached Australia and my heart is just broken for you and all of the families. Such an horrific, senseless and monumental loss to try and process.
Sending hugs and strength to you all.
What a senseless crime. Support from Melbourne Australia also.🇦🇺
Same... heartbreaking I've lost a child myself and the ache is awful but not like this without knowing who did it in such a horrific way
@@thetreasurehuntingboomer I’m so sorry you’ve had to experience the loss of your child. I cannot begin to imagine how you felt. Warm hugs and true respect for still having empathy for others x
Amen prayers with you all from Sunlands South Australia thrown in with some koala cuddles 🐨 🇦🇺
With tears at the thought of what these families are going through, I too send love from Australia. No individual deserves to have their life cut short, let alone 4 close friends. May LE bring the monster to justice & offer both families & community an inch of peace. Sending so much warmth & hope 🤗🤞🏻🙏🏼
My husband’s sister was murdered. It’s a horrible experience. She left behind two children. Her husband was convicted of her murder.
This event is horrific. I feel profoundly sad for all the families affected by this senseless tragedy. It’s easy to think that eventually they’ll feel better. Maybe a little but this nightmare will never end.
Please pray for these families…even the ones of the two girls not hurt. They too will face hard times.
So, very true, I hope and pray they don't blame themselves. There is nothing they could have done. Even if they had known and called 911, the result would how been the same, cause everything happens so fast. If main vain is cut you bleed to death really quickly. Prayers for everyone in the world.MAY GOD BLESS US ALL 🙏
thats terrible
I'm so sorry for these parents. This is heartbreaking. Such an unimaginable loss. Rest in heaven sweet Ethan. Prayers for the family.
What a monumental loss this is for their family and our community. Ethan in all accounts was an amazing person. My prayers are extended to Mom and Dad and siblings. I lost my brother in a horrific way and know how hard it is to live after such an event. May God bless you with his peace.
Amen
☝️
I’m so sorry that you had to experience such a horrific loss. May God give you continued strength and bless you always.
I lost my son two years ago. My son died in his asleep. This is a million times worse in my book! Losing a child is a life sentence with unbelievable pain. My heart goes out to these parents.
i am so sorry for your loss. it is an unimaginable and unspeakable pain for a parent to lose a child. i wish you all the love and comfort in the world, i wish i could take away that pain 😞
I’m so sorry about your son. I couldn’t imagine the pain. I hope you’re ok ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss !
Let’s not compare the loss of a child.
So, sorry for your loss, praying for you 🙏 MAY GOD BLESS YALL 🙏
I can tell that Ethan was very blessed to have you as parents. Thank you for the sacrifice you have made to speak on Ethan’s behalf! God bless all of you! You are in my thoughts and prayers and I pray that swift justice is done in this tragedy!I truly believe that you will be with Ethan again in the future!until then, May God comfort and strengthen you every day!
Amen
Not blessed enough
AMEN, THANKS
@@SundaeTreat maybe you need God in your life!! Cold hearted comment that Karma will get you 10:21
RIP Ethan he seemed to be a lovely guy . These poor parents . It’s heartbreaking to see them suffering so much . Ethan was a triplet his siblings will be deeply affected by this . God bless them all ❤️
You guys are the most authentic parents that I have seen being interviewed. As a parent, my heart breaks for both of you and your kids. This is a living nightmare. So unfair that some evil person pulled off this horrific crime and is still out there. God bless you all. 😇🙏
*Ethan was a triplet! I'm so sorry for all the families. I live in North Idaho. Have read SO much about these young people. GENUINELY wonderful, promising, decent, kind, productive kids ANY parent would be extremely proud of. Sad to think what might have been with these four still in our world!* 🙏❤️
Oh wow i didn’t know that
I'm a parent...and this is my worst nightmare...any parents' worst nightmare. RIP to those 4. May the Lord bless their families with Love, Understanding, and Strength.
I agree. my kids are my whole world. ❤️ it hurts me just to fathom this.. I pray they find who did this and get anwsers and closure. :( senseless. all very beautiful young adults. :(
Same- it’s 100 % my worst fear. 💔GOD BLESS AND PROTECT YOU AND Continue to guide you with his grace and protection. Amen.✝️
My heart goes out to the family. When the mom said “this is never going away,” I understood unfortunately. My dad committed suicide in June and I was the one to find him. It’s a completely different story, but the horror and grief are the same. People say…ohhh you’ll get through this in time. No you don’t. A piece of you has died. If you’re lucky you’ll adapt to it and maybe endure it. I’m just so sorry for the family!
❤️🩹💔
I am very sorry for your loss, as well. I know you will (in time) be able to honor your Dad. Take good care of yourself. 💛
BAN THEM GUNS..Oh wait. uh, SAVE THE EARTH. One rtard chant after another. Drunk people at 2 am...STUPID
2 in my immediate family did the same. So tell me about that feeling Mary. That wierd hole in the heart feeling, that mystery, that confusion/dissonance...will never go away.
Missing my dad who chose to leave this world. I understand the pain. He did this at Christmas.
Having lost a child myself to a murderer, my heart ❤️ goes out to them
🥲❣️
It hurts 😢
When she talked about driving away from the college, triumphant in the knowledge that “they did it!”, they raised 3 phenomenal kids, I broke. Sometimes this world is so cruel. This family will be in my thoughts. I genuinely hope they’re able to heal.
The dad just looks absolutely traumatized it’s so heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayer are with you all 💔♥️🕊☹️
Because their family will now never again be complete. Imagine how Thanksgiving Day was for them and other holidays. The family have each other-and the memories of their dear Ethan. May time offer them succor through their grief.
I lost my daughter back in 1997 she was 18 and you never get overthe pain however you just learn to live with it. My heart breaks for them the roller-coaster of emotions they are going through. Hopefully they find who did this soon.
So, sorry for your loss, praying for thee 🙏 MAY GOD BLESS YOU 🙏
So sorry for your loss , sending you peace and healing vibes
Merry Christmas, Lynn. I'm so sorry for your loss.🙏❤
Parents who clearly love their kids....breaks my heart that their other triplets have to grow up without him. This mother made me bawl....her heartbreak resonates so immensely
This father... He has me in tears. The looks on his face are heartbreaking💔 Bless their hearts!
The pain in his mom’s voice is heartbreaking
These poor people
I really hope these families get justice for their loved ones
What justice? Even if they find the monster who did this, there's never really justice because NOTHING brings back your lost loved ones and that's all the living relatives want! There is punishment, but no true justice.
@@echofoxtrot2.051 I don’t think you know the definition of justice
@@echofoxtrot2.051 of course justice doesn't mean a loved one coming back from the dead... Justice is simply finding the killer and punishing them for the victim and the family. Which is what op said.
I commend you on giving this interview. I don't think I could do this with such strength. I can see the solid foundation Ethan had with such loving parents. My deepest condolences, and prayers are with your family.
the dads eyes are killing me … 😢
My heart breaks for this lovely Mum and Dad, the exhaustion and pain on their faces is gut wrenching to see...their lives changed forever. I hope and pray that the pain eases in time, and is replaced by lots of happier times ahead for them all 🙏🏼❤❤❤
As a parent, I cannot imagine what your family has been going through. My deepest condolences to you and continued prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Such beautiful parents. When they said it didn't matter about him being popular, I thought oh yes that is so important - it means they have raised an incredible young man who connects. My heart goes out to Ethans family. I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort together. 🙏 from NZ
I can't even fathom the pain this family and the other families and loved ones and community are going through. My heart and prayers go out to you all.
This is absolutely horrible. I’m so so sorry. 💔 I pray for justice for these families and victims thank you so much for sharing your heart with us and sharing Ethan with us.
“2am is a dark hour” God bless this mama and dad. 💔💔 the nights are always the hardest when losing someone, IMO. I can not fathom losing a child. Many many prayers for these families. 🫂🫂🫂🫂💔
I’m sorry for their huge loss. I can’t imagine. It sounds like he was a VERY special, incredible young man who touched everyone in one way or another. I’m sorry for the parents and his siblings and the unimaginable loss that they’re feeling.
Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Chapin for your taking the time during this difficult time to share with us a piece of Ethan. God bless you all. 🙏🏻🌟
Wow, what a tribute for his mother and father to tell us who Ethan was. Must have been extremely hard to do. Makes me even sadder that this happened. So unfair. Everyone PLEASE pray for this family.
It’s clear they raised an amazing son. I can’t imagine how they and their other kids are feeling right now 💔
Heartfelt prayers for the parents and family. Rest in Peace Ethan.
Amazing parents. I’m certain they raised three exceptional humans. My heart breaks for them. Momma’s first concern was for her two other children and how they are coping. Like most mommas she’s put her babies first. The grief spilling out of Mr. Chapin is difficult to process.
I want the monster that killed your son and the 3 beautiful girls to fry like " ( BACON ). JUSTICE !!!!!!
Wow…these parents seem to be doing very well for just losing a child. How do they stay so strong?
I live in Australia and I’ve only just heard about this. I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss, your boy sounded like he was an absolutely amazing person and what a loss he is. Best of luck with your journey. Sending you prayers and good vibes xx
Are you in Canberra? Used to live there. But I know that Australia is a vast place. Yes, this is a most tragic and sad story.
I am in awe of the mother and father’s strength. I do know from personal experience that talking about your loved one, sharing your pain, is very cathartic. I am so sorry that there are 4 sets of parents going through this. Not to mention all the ones who knew and loved them. I can only send prayers and positive thoughts to all involved. I know the community is rallying around you all. Embrace the love. God Bless to all who read this. Sad times
Thankyou
God bless you
My sincere condolences to you all. Thank you for sharing Ethans life with us all. I too am a child death survivor, I understand your pain to the very raw core of your being. Take it not one day at a time, but one second at a time....breathe...cry...and never apologize for your pain. God Bless you all, I pray for resolution and comfort in this difficult time. Prayers from Winchester, Idaho.
I didn't know anything about Ethan. He sounds like a wonderful son and human being. My heart goes out to his family Thank you for sharing this story about these triplets. It got overshadowed but now we know. I love how his parents honored him in this way. Bless you and Thank you.
As a fellow mother of college aged triplets, my heart breaks 💔 for this family!! I wish I could hug & cry with his mom. My worst fear is what this mother is experiencing!! I can relate to her description of her son & children. I'm crying 😭😭😭
My heart goes out to these people losing a child so young at college. They are probably numb at this point.
My heart goes out to this family and all those involved. I wish them the best and may they all be blessed.
why does God take the shning lights away from us. your son sounds like such an amazing guy. what a loss.... god bless

I have no words to express my deepest condolences for your precious child’s loss. Prayers for you and your family.
These poor parents and their family. Heartbreaking. I lost my only son. The pain of losing a child is like no other. Praying for all these families. Tragic. These kids were having the time of their life. So sad . Praying for all.
All my respect love and condolences to you and yours - especially his sibs. I know you raised good kids, you're good people. I too, lost my boy at 22 years old, and the gossip hurts. Ignore it - no one knew him better than you. Now your life has changed to before and after. I hope you finds peace in the after, and your children continue to shine for their brother.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your son. Such a terrible unimaginable heart breaking thing to go thru. When you wrote " you lost your boy" it crushed my heart for you and these poor parents. I always call my son " my boy". 💜💜💜
🫂
This is an unspeakable loss. My heart reaches out to your family at this time. Thank you for your courage in speaking at this unimaginably difficult time.
I'm so sorry, this is going to change your life forever. I lost my son who was a war veteran who was 27 in 2018 and you live with a new normal and to me that took a while I'm strong and I get a feeling your a strong family too. I will be praying for you guys!
❤❤❤
I lost my brother in 2011 also a war veteran. He served right after 911, he was a medic. He did two tours-saved lives and saw his buddies pass away. He was my hero. But he actually passed because of a motorcycle accident- an illegal underage immigrant smashed into him at a red light. He was also 27. As his sister it is hard to grow in age knowing he never had the chance to. I am now 34 with 5 kids. I just wonder who he would be today. That is the hardest part about losing someone. But I think God has helped for me- not sure about you. But God has a way into my heart and soul to forgive and know he will be there in heaven for me. I just can't imagine losing my own son or daughter at all let alone to a slaying like this :(. Sorry for you loss :(

@Public Square thank you and I believe that ! Thank you for your service!
This is one of the most heartbreaking interviews I’ve seen in a long time. Credit to the report for being respectful, kind, and maintaining a sense of decorum with boundaries. She made the interview all about Ethan, and gave these parents an opportunity to exactly what they wanted- no more, no less. Respect to the reporter. Prayers to the families.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful son. May you find the strength you need during this most horrific time. My thoughts and prayers to your family and also for the other families who have suffered this great loss.
My heart breaks for these parents. And the families. I couldn't imagine the pain. My prayers go out to the families and friends.
So sorry for your loss. I could not imagine the pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you. 🙏❤️
I feel them when they said “ we did it”. We have also had that moment. God Bless this family. My deepest sympathy to these families.
Those poor parents. And poor mom can barely get her words together. My heart breaks for them. I cannot fathom losing a child.. especially in such an awful way. 💔
I feel so bad for this mom and dad.
Cops say no need for concern because it was a targeted attack. Wtf ? Someone is going around stabbing kids .. . That is concerning!! Tragic.
My prayers for this young man’s siblings and parents and friends. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I’m so so sorry. I have no words. I hope justice comes quickly and swiftly.
Thank you so much for speaking to us about yourselves and Ethan. I am so so sorry for this loss of your son and brother. If I could do anything for you I wish I could soothe your pain.
It’s our honor to hear about your son Ethan, he did not deserve what happened. My heart breaks for your family - incredibly courageous parents who want to control their message No words but absolute sorrow, 🙏 God Bless these two siblings as they navigate this tragic situation. As a parent to two sons this would be my worst nightmare as I take a moment to honor your amazing son Ethan, and the other kids, know the global world support you both along with Ethan’s two siblings with love through this tragedy.
Such well spoken and compassionate people. My heart hurts for them. As a triplet myself, I was shocked to hear Ethan was also a triplet and can’t imagine the loss for his siblings. My prayers are with them.
Sending sincere condolences to your family on this heartbreaking loss. We're in north Idaho and UI alumni and our hearts are hurting for you all.
God lift this family with your loving arms. What grace they have for what they are going through.
Amen.
He is so charismatic in the videos I’ve seen…he seemed kind and sweet and so funny….as a mom my heart is with their kids and them. The parents are so lovely. Just sending them so much love. ❤
This is so heart breaking. No parent should have to bury their child. God bless these parents, and all the parents and siblings of these four amazing people.
I love this woman, and my heart breaks for her. It’s so clear how much she loves her kids. Ethan ❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕
It Breaks My Heart! No parent should have to go through this. Violence in America has to stop. Prayers for all of the Families.
This is beyond devastating. Hunter and Macy will experience a grief that none of us can comprehend. May they all be overwhelmed with God’s peace.
So sorry for your loss. I weep with you as a mother myself. Your son sounds like an amazing person that bought light everywhere he went.
This is devastating. There are no words. Love and support to this beautiful family and the other families of the other victims. I am so angry about this loss.
My heart hurts for them. OMG what a horrible pain they have to endure. I hope they get justice fast
I am so very sorry for the families of the victims. It's incredibly tragic. I hope they find out who committed this crime as soon as possible. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
So, so very sorry for the loss of your precious child!! Words cannot convey the sadness I feel in my heart for your family having to deal with this tragedy...Sending Payers and lots of love, your way...Ethan won't be forgotten! 🙏 ♥
Thank you for sharing. My husband, Russell, lived on Channel drive when you lived there. We live in Boise area now. He mentioned walking with you and the babies. We are heartbroken and so sorry for your loss. Our deepest sympathy.💫❤️
I can’t imagine your pain and the pain of your children to lose their brother. Sending positive thoughts for healing for your family.
This is so sad.. I’m tearing up listening to parents talk about their son. I don’t know how they are keeping it together, but my heart goes out to them and the other kids. Send your child off, in the first place is hard, and hope they do well and stay safe not knowing some evil person is out there. So awful and tragic.
Condolences to his family and friends.
The pain in their eyes, especially the father....breaks my heart. I can't imagine. My daughter is leaving home in May to go to UK....and I just want to stop her now. The strength this family is showing to tell their son's story is amazing. Thank you for sharing a little bit about him with us. My prayers go up for you and the other families❤️❤️❤️
Just watching the Dad breaks my heart, I'm thinking he's really trying to hold it together, mom is being super strong, I feel for that whole family, and for all families.
To be honest, they probably take turns being strong & falling apart. I am glad they took the time to tell us a little bit about their wonderful son. Many prayers for them as the reality settles upon them. 🙏🏼
I’m so so sorry. I don’t even know what to say to these poor parents. I want to hug you both. God be with you. Please, God be a comfort to these families.
My heart hurts for you all..thank you for sharing this about your son..prayers for all of you...I know Ethan will be a bright shining light for always in each of you!
