Mega Edition: The Moscow PD And Their Press Releases The Week Of November 20th 2022 (9/30/26)

During the week of November 20 through November 27, 2022, Moscow police held two major press conferences while also issuing daily updates as investigators worked to determine who killed Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. At the November 20 briefing, Chief James Fry and other officials clarified the timeline surrounding the 911 call, explaining that surviving roommates had summoned friends because they believed one of the second-floor victims was unconscious and that multiple people spoke with dispatchers before police arrived. Investigators said they did not believe the surviving roommates, the friends present when 911 was called, the private driver who brought Kaylee and Madison home, or the man seen with them at the food truck were involved. Police also continued to say they believed the killings were targeted, while acknowledging they still had no suspect in custody and had not recovered the murder weapon.

At the November 23 press conference, authorities again emphasized that they had no named suspect while describing the increasingly large investigation underway. Police said they had collected 103 pieces of evidence, taken roughly 4,000 photographs, created three-dimensional scans of the King Road house and devoted hundreds of hours to forensic processing. They also said they had been unable to substantiate reports that Kaylee had a stalker, cleared the man she and Madison repeatedly tried to call shortly before the murders and continued asking the public for video, tips and other information. By November 27, police reported that more than 488 digital-media submissions had been sent to investigators and acknowledged the growing fear in Moscow, with calls about unusual activity and welfare checks rising sharply. The week of briefings showed an investigation expanding rapidly in manpower and evidence collection, but still without the central answers the public wanted most: who committed the murders, what the motive was and where the killer had gone.
