Horrifying pictures of Idaho crime scene 1122 King Road after FBI returned to site a year on from four students' murders

THE home where four University of Idaho students were brutally murdered last year remains the center of debate 12 months after the vicious killings.

Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were stabbed to death in the student home in the early hours of November 13, with no motive known for their deaths.

Earlier this month, FBI agents returned to the Idaho murder scene to find further evidence in the trial.

The home is located near the university, and was the residence of three of the students that were killed.

Located at 1122 King Road, the building is made up of six bedrooms and three bathrooms and has become a source of national attention since the attacks.

Police found two bodies on the home's second floor and two on the third floor.

Two roommates who lived in the home's first floor were unharmed, with police claiming that they had no connection to the attacks.

The home is located near the University's Greek life sector, known for being a party scene.

“This has always been a party place since I’ve lived here — always,” said Sean Hundley, a Moscow resident, per East Idaho News.

In June, the university announced that the home would be torn down, with the school's president calling the moment a "healing step" for the community, per ABC News.

This plan was halted the following month after objections from the victims' families, claiming that demolishing the house before the trial began could create more problems.

The home is now being investigated by the FBI, hoping to find more clues that can help in the case against Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old graduate student from Washington State University.

Kohberger was arrested on December 30th and is the main suspect in the case.

His trial was scheduled for October, but it's now been delayed indefinitely.

The FBI spoke with the University, asking for access to the home, which was granted earlier this month.

"With the new extended timeline, the FBI is on scene today, Tuesday, Oct. 31, and Wednesday, Nov. 1, to get documentation to construct visual and audio exhibits and a physical model of the home where Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were killed," said a statement from the school, per FOX 5.

"As explained to the university, the visual displays take months to build and were not feasible under the timeline of an October trial."

In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, true crime author J.T. Hunter claims reopening the crime scene could provide key evidence for the trial.

"There's potentially a lot of DNA in that apartment," he said.

"Not just the victims, not just potentially the killers, but anybody else that's been there and visited."

Hunter compared the case to that of Danny Rolling, also known as the Gainesville Ripper, sharing that Rolling was ultimately charged thanks to the DNA evidence that was found on the crime scene.

"The DNA part of it would be their best bet," said Hunter.

"If the killer left some of his own blood there, or you know, hairs or whatever… if they can get a good DNA sample and then run it through the system maybe they can get a hit.

“Or get some sort of connection through some kind of familial DNA."

Kohberger is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary.

If convicted, he could face the death penalty.
