Steve Goncalves spoke to the crowd about his daughter's tight-knit friendship with Maddie. The two had been best friends since sixth grade.

"Then they started looking at colleges and came here together … and in the end they died together, in the same room and in the same bed," he said.

Up until that point, it had been reported that Kaylee and Maddie were asleep in separate rooms on the same floor when they were stabbed to death by the unknown suspect or suspects.

After Latah County prosecutor Bill Thompson said "investigators believe that this attack was intended for a specific person," the Moscow Police Department issued a "clarification."

"We have spoken with the Latah County Prosecutor's Office and identified this was a miscommunication," the statement read. "Detectives do not currently know if the residence or any occupants were specifically targeted but continue to investigate."

But the police have been using the word "targeted" throughout the entire investigation.

Moscow Police Chief James Fry told ABC News that cops still "believe this is a targeted attack" and the victims' families have repeatedly addressed the word, revealing they've been given no answers.

While at least one killer is on the loose, traumatized students of the university went back to school for the first time after the slayings this week.

A spokesperson for the Idaho State Police gave the public an updated, revealing they have received forensic testing results.

“I do know that each type of testing… some take longer than others. And I also do know that there have been results that have been returned and those go directly to the investigators, so that way they can help, again, paint that picture as we keep talking about,” the spokesperson said, refusing to reveal who the DNA belonged to.
