Description
Bryan Kohberger, the Washington State University doctoral student accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, appeared before a judge Thursday and waived his right to a speedy preliminary hearing.
In the meantime, the surviving loved ones of the four murder victims, while forever changed, continue working to forge ahead in their new normal.
One of those Idaho murder victims, as we've reported, was Ethan Chapin from Conway in Skagit County.
Ethan was a triplet. He and his brother and sister, Hunter and Maizie, were so close that they even went to the same college together.
This week, his two siblings returned to their Moscow campus, and their parents said on Facebook Wednesday that "their job now" is to "just be kids." She continued, "Start where they left off. Keep goals and aspirations in mind."
But they are not going it alone: they have the support of many within the Vandal community in Idaho-- and in Washington.
"Yesterday, we successfully dropped them off back at the University of Idaho," said Stacey Chapin in a Facebook post. "Hunter was very glad to be back at the fraternity and Maizie was warming up to the idea but it was so good to hear all of the girls squeal with delight upon seeing her. It did this momma’s heart good to hear it!"
