Controversy Surrounds Demolition Plans for Infamous Idaho Murder Scene

Officials at the University of Idaho are planning to demolish the house where four students were murdered last year, sparking a debate over whether the crime scene should be preserved. While university officials hope to erase the remnants of the tragedy, some family members of the victims argue that the house could be crucial to the prosecution of the accused killer and the jury's understanding of the crime. Similar debates have arisen in other communities where mass murders have occurred, with some opting to demolish the crime scenes while others leave them intact. The trial for the accused killer in the Idaho case is scheduled for October.
