New Idaho Video Shows Police Responding to Noise Complaint at Murder House

Newly released body camera footage shows police were called to the house where four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in September.

Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Moden, Xana Kernodle and Kernodle's boyfriend Ethan Chapin were found dead in the off-campus rental house on November 13.
Police have launched a massive investigation into the killings but have yet to identify a suspect or make any arrests.

Neighbors and others have spoken about how parties frequently took place at the house. Now, footage has emerged showing officers responding following a noise complaint about partying at the house on September 1.

The footage, shared on Twitter by NewsNation correspondent Brian Entin, begins with officers approaching the house and asking some women outside if they know who lives there.

"Hey ladies, how's it going?" an officer is heard saying.

"Good. How are you?" one responds.

They then tell the officers they don't know the house's occupants and the officers continue toward the residence, where loud music and partying can be heard.

A woman answers the door and after the officers ask who lives at the house, she says she can "go get them."

According to Entin, another clip shows the officers have walked around the outside of the house to knock on another door and a downstairs bedroom can be seen.

"We're only here for a noise complaint. Come to the damn door," one officer says, before banging on the door.

Moments later, an officer is heard telling someone that they are responding to a noise complaint and that "whoever lives here needs to come talk to us or we're gonna start doing a lot more."

The officer adds: "Just tell them to come to the front door, we'll deal with the noise complaint and we'll leave."

Later, two young men open the door and tell the officers that no one inside the house at the time actually lives there.

"So everyone here's trespassing?" one officer asks.

"Well, no one's here that's trespassing, but no one that lives here is here right now," one man replies, adding that he has "no clue" where they went.

"They left and went over to some other party and everyone is about to leave and go over…"

When asked for the names of the house's occupants, the same man says he's "not sure" and that he lives across the street.

Later, the officers are in their car and have reached Mogen on the phone who confirms she lives at the residence.

The officer tells her that police received a noise complaint and that people "started running away" leaving alcohol behind when they arrived.

The officer adds: "We're not even coming for alcohol. We're coming for the noise complaint. And then we sat here for approximately 10 minutes trying to knock on the door. No one would come to the door until these two gentlemen came down and actually answered the door."

After confirming Mogen's details, the officer tells her: "Alright, Madison, so here's the deal… They've already said that no one here was, like none of the occupants that live at this address are here right now. So now you have a house full of random people. If you let them know that the noise needs to needs to come down, OK, we just received a noise complaint. We want that music turned down and we don't want to come back again tonight. If we have to come back again tonight, then there's even more problems OK?"

Mogen tells the officer she is frustrated and "so sorry."

"If I were you, I'd probably just come down and make sure that whoever is partying here is keeping it down to a minimum," the officer tells her.

"Yes," Mogen is heard saying.

The officer replies: "OK, so at this point, we're gonna leave. And again, if I have to come back later tonight, like I said, I just want to express that there's gonna be some type… some citation."
