I hate posting rumors but in this case I will. Asking for information here, not trying to spread falsehoods. Mods, delete if not appropriate.

Submitted by brk1 t3_zz2zwt in Pennsylvania

EDIT: Looks like it’s for real (suspect arrested in Pennsylvania for killings of 4 University of Idaho students; has ties to Monroe County and albrightsville)

There is a rumor floating around SM that an arrest has been made in PA, in connection to the Idaho student murders. Again, just a rumor, but wondering if anyone in this sub knows of a way to check through publicly available means? Arrest records and such?

If you have a name, you can try the UJS portal. It’s all public record.

The portal shows that the suspect was arrested by PSP and has an extradition hearing January 3. He is being held in jail, pending extradition.

You're in the town square with a megaphone "everyone, keep this quiet just in case I'm wrong, but here's the deal!"

EXACTLY! And I posted a joke and people freaked the fuck out. People are nuts these days with no sense of humor.

The old “feigning responsibility for murdering strangers” gag! Classic.

The reason I’m asking is that someone here could share resources to credible information that could confirm or dispel the story.

Some people do.

See above: this has already been confirmed. Your comments are irrelevant at this point.

Huh? What a weird comment. I never claimed I had anything to do with this.

Supernatural0311 t1_j29r38r wrote

The OP was literally looking for more someone with local credible information. Not to mention they ended up being correct.

Hey, at least you got to be a jerk on the internet today. That must be exhilarating for you.

They are stating an arrest has been made, details are limited at moment.

brk1 OP t1_j29ke0k wrote

AP is reporting the suspects name and confirming the arrest is for Idaho murders.

I'm very interested in this case, are willing to give any more info on this rumor?

brk1 OP t1_j2996cw wrote

I don’t have any more info other than it is a rumor on social media. I have no inside knowledge and am not putting this forward as fact. a Lehigh valley media site posted this on twitter but then deleted it.

looks like someone was arrested in Monroe County in connection with these murders.

Thank you for posting.

Sadly, it won’t undo this heinous crime but I’m thankful the police have located and apprehended a suspect.

Just saw this on my local news as I’m from the area the arrest was made. Few details but heard there’s going to be a press conference at 1pm.

Just saw an article saying there was an arrest in Monroe county that is related to the case but that's all I could find out.

Looks like it wasn’t just a rumor. Doesn’t mean they are from here though just apprehended here. I-80 runs through Monroe very well could have been pulled over while traveling.

brk1 OP t1_j2a291e wrote

Reports seem to indicate he is from albrightsville.

It’s true. The arrest happened a few doors away from where a friend of mine lives.

Yeah, arrested in Albrightsville. Less than 10 miles from me.

The cops and FBI in Idaho are under tremendous pressure to solve this. If an arrest was made, it would be everywhere.
