Slain Idaho students leave behind bright memories, big goals

The four University of Idaho students who were stabbed to death near campus last weekend were more than just college students and crime victims. Ethan Chapin was a triplet who spent his last day dressed up and dancing with his siblings at a sorority event. Xana Kernodle was funny and driven, and decorated her high school graduation cap with a quote about changing lives. Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves had grown up together, as much sisters as they were best friends. Both women were looking forward to making big moves next year. Now Ethan Chapin's family is finding solace in the legacy of memories he left behind.

Killer who killed UI students still at large

Police say the killer or killers who stabbed four University of Idaho students to death remains at large, and the violence has prompted many students to leave town. The Moscow Police Department said Tuesday that the attack was targeted and maintained there is no imminent risk to the community. But so many students have left campus that university officials said a candlelight vigil originally scheduled for Wednesday would instead be held after the Thanksgiving break. Police say a knife or sharp weapon was used in the attack on the students. Autopsies expected to be completed later this week could provide more information about how the victims were killed.

81 years of looking down the scope

Mildred Bryant celebrates 80th hunting anniversary by harvesting mule deer

Hunting has no set expiration date — if you can shoulder a firearm, still see good enough to look down the sights and traverse a fair amount of open country, then your clock’s still ticking. If you’re 41 and fighting for a Super Bowl ring, you’re ancient. If you’re 41 and looking for that seven-point bull, well, you’re in your prime. Then there’s Mildred Bryant. The 90-year-old New Plymouth resident has been hunting big game for nearly double that timespan, and she recently harvested a handsome 3x4 mule deer near Malta after 80 years of looking down the scope. Next time you’re out stalking a buck and your legs get a little sore, think of Mildred’s story.
