The home on King Road in Moscow, Idaho, where four University of Idaho students were tragically killed last year, is slated for demolition on Thursday, December 28. The knockdown of the house, guarded by security for over 13 months, marks a significant but emotional moment for the victims' families and the wider University of Idaho community. Maddie Mogen's father, Ben Mogen, voiced his support for the university's choice to tear down the residence, expressing his reluctance to let anyone else occupy the home. However, conflicting sentiments emerged from the Goncalves and Kernodle families, urging Latah County prosecutors and the university to halt the demolition until after the trial. They emphasized the need for a trial date, advocating for justice to be served before the house's removal.
