While a suspect has not been identified or arrested in the murder of four University of Idaho students, forensic analysts are saying law enforcement should not rule out that the suspect may be an involuntary celibate, but that it is premature to confirm the theory.

Involuntary celibate, or"incel," is a misogynistic subculture of men who are romantically frustrated at not being able to find a partner, often blaming women and lashing out online.University students Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were murdered in their beds early on Nov. 13, and each was stabbed in both the chest and upper body with a large knife.

Sarah Daly, a criminology researcher at Saint Vincent College who has studied incels, reminded people in an interview with Fox News that it is premature to say the killer comes from the incel community. However, she said the circumstances surrounding the murders could lead to that conclusion. "That is a lot of intensity," Mohandie said."So, it is not inconsistent with somebody that may have that kind of motivation. There's something hateful and rage-filled about it."

"These are kids, adult kids, living their life, experiencing happiness, being spontaneous and carefree," Mohandie said."And that's going to stimulate somebody that either felt entitled to have had a relationship with one or more of them. For individuals that feel on the outside looking in … that's going to create envy and hate."
