This petition is to respectfully request reconsideration by the University of Idaho of the timing of demolishing the residence at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho.  

To destroy the location of a brutal murder scene of four U of I students before the investigative and prosecutorial efforts are complete seems both short sided and premature. 

The four students killed (picture from CNN News) and two of their siblings paid tuition to attend U of I.  It seems immensely disrespectful to go forward with the demolition of the crime scene at this time. If polled, your students and the victims’ families would most likely want you to wait until justice for Ethan, Xana, Madison and Kaylee has at least been attempted. To go forth with the demolition right now makes the University of Idaho seem oblivious to decency and obtrusive to the judicial process.  While it is appreciated that  a memorial garden is planned to show hope and healing, please wait until there is no possible evidentiary value.

Thank you.
