Stacy Chapin, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20 and Madison Mogen, 21 were found dead on November 13.

The victims were stabbed, according to the coroner. The murder weapon has not yet been found by police and no suspects have yet been arrested, CNN reports.

The four young adults were in the house they shared off the University of Idaho campus in the city of Moscow.

Investigators have begun to piece together the chain of events that led to the deaths of the four students, according to CNN.

Here’s what we know so far:

Stacy Chapin and Xana Kernodle attended a party at the Sigma Chi fraternity house between 8-9pm Saturday night, the day before their bodies were discovered.

Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen were at a local sports bar at 10pm Saturday night and 1:30am Sunday morning. The two housemates then ordered food from a street food truck.

They waited about 10 minutes for their food, talking to each other and to other people waiting near the truck.

The truck manager told CNN they didn’t appear worried, distressed or in danger.

Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen were driven home by “an individual” and arrived around 1:45am. Officials do not believe the driver was involved in the students’ deaths, according to police.

The four victims were all home at about 1:45 on Sunday morning.

A 911 call was placed just before noon on Sunday.

Police who responded to the call found the four students dead. There were no signs of forced entry when officers arrived.

Two other people were in the house and probably asleep during the attack. They were not injured and police do not believe they were involved in the murder.

Some of the victims had wounds that showed they were trying to defend themselves and there were no signs of sexual assault, according to the latest police information reported by CNN.

Police did not specify the identity of the person who contacted 911, saying only that it was from the phone of one of the surviving housemates. The person who made the call, however, is not a suspect, according to police.

A dog was also found in the house. “He was not injured and was sent to an animal welfare center before being handed over to a responsible person,” the Moscow Police Department said in a Facebook post.
