The families of the four murdered University of Idaho students are preparing for the grim one-year mark of a tragedy that changed their lives forever.

On social media, some of the parents of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen, who were stabbed to death in Moscow, have indicated they’re privately remembering their slain children with a few close family members and friends.

“Our family is currently taking some time to pause,” wrote Ethan’s mother, Stacy Chapin. “We are spending time with family and friends who have stood by us and offered support throughout the year.”
