“Four University of Idaho students, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were killed in a homicide that took place off-campus Nov. 13.

Since then, Vandal Family members and many others have expressed a desire to show or give support. Your thoughts, prayers and concern for the victims, their families and our campus community are greatly appreciated.”

Today is the State-wide vigil for the victims. This subreddit has garnered great amounts of attention across the US, and worldwide. We want to use this opportunity to show the local community of Moscow and the State of Idaho that amidst all the speculation and gossip surrounding the case there are people here for reasons of love and support.

If we can do one thing of good here it is to gather all the kind messages and thoughts during this time of memorial. We ask that anyone wishing to do so leave comments for the family, victims and the community here. This is not a post for discussing case facts. Please keep all comments focussed on support and love for the victims and their families.

You can tune in to the livestream here, or by clicking the link at the top of the post. The vigil is set to begin at 5 p.m. Pacific time / 8 p.m. Eastern.

If you have any comments or questions for the mods regarding this post please send us a direct message. The comments section is strictly reserved for messages of memorial.

Thank you.
