University of Idaho students Ethan Chapin, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21, were stabbed several times and killed Nov. 13.
Warning: The following contains details that might be considered graphic in nature.
Jonathan Gilliam, a former FBI special agent and law enforcement officer, told Fox News Digital the type of knife involved in the crime sheds light on the way in which the attack could have progressed. "It’s not going to be as thin and able to slice" as other knives, he said."And when you do get it sharp, it’s going to dull again just because of the nature of the fact that it’s kind of a fat blade."The tip of the knife, he said, is known to break off. Ka-Bar knives are more frequently used for cuts that involve thrusting motions, instead of smoother motions, Gilliam further explained.
