Suspected Serial Killer Has Caused Spike Of New Students In Local BJJ Academy

A suspected serial killer is on the loose in Idaho. The Police still haven’t identified the killer in a quadruple murder near the University of Idaho that happened more than one month ago.

The four victims – Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21 – were all stabbed multiple times and some had defensive wounds, according to a medical examiner.
The four victims were stabbed to death in their beds with a fixed-blade knife at around 3am or 4am on 13 November. There were no signs of sexual assault.

The murders have left the community terrified and many residents are seeking out self-defense training, especially Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Cathy Cury, the general manager at V7 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Moscow, said that her BJJ Academy has seen a spike in new students:

“What happened has certainly heightened interest in classes, but the trend towards more female participation has been on the rise for the past years. Having said that, I would say that the past month has led to even more calls about our striking classes,” Cury told Fox News Digital. “During our classes we promote the importance of self-awareness and self-security to avoid situations, as well as teach the skills to address situations as they arise through a variety of drills and live training.”

Police have not identified a suspect or located a murder weapon, though they believe the attacker used a fixed-blade knife.
