Idaho Murder Stabbings Weren't 'Easy,' Suspect Was a Man: Former FBI Agent

One former FBI agent concluded that these murders "took ferociousness, strength, resolve."Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI agent and law enforcement analyst, took to Twitter on Sunday voicing her thoughts on the Idaho stabbings. "When I was doing my EMT Rotations out of a Firestation in S. Dallas, my first call was to a stabbing," Coffindaffer said.

The Moscow, Idaho, murders have revived traumatic memories of a horrific triple homicide in the small college town nearly seven years later, according to a new report.

Angela Davidson told NewsNation Tuesday that her daughter, Sydney Jones, was working at Arby's in downtown Moscow when Jones' manager was shot to death on Jan. 10, 2015.

Jones hasn't completely recovered from the harrowing experience, and the quadruple homicide less than two miles away has brought unwelcome flashbacks, her mom told the news site.
