Everyone frustrated with the police needs to consider one thing: there is certain information that only the killer knows. If they tell every single detail on the news it's impossible to identify the killer using that information. This is an important part of the investigative process. The family giving away exact details of the investigation like what time they got home then they are putting the investigation at risk. Police probably aren't telling them anything because of interviews like this one where they have no filter and tell important details when asked about them.

The dads little smile when the reporter said “she got a great smile” broke my heart. Oh my!!!

Kaylee's sister is right about the timeline. The mother of one of Ethan's friends was interviewed yesterday and said that Ethan texted her son at 2am on the night of the murder and he and Xana weren't at Xana's house yet, contrary to what the police have said (the police said they got home at 1:45am). That timeline can be very important when asking the public for leads, video, etc., as someone could very well think their information isn't important because it doesn't fit within the timeline the police are giving.

My 33 yr old beautiful sister was brutally murdered in her home in NYS during Christmas twenty years ago. I understand the frustration of the families and most of all their tremendous AGONY. My heart aches for them all.I have been there and it is horrifying to wait for information from LE and it can seem like they aren't doing a good enough job. I get it. However, I hope they can somehow stop bad mouthing law enforcement! They seem to be working very hard on this tragic case. The fact that several friends trampled all over the crime scene damaging evidence BEFORE the 911 call, plays a huge roll in things as well. May this insidious beast be caught.

As a father, my heart hurts so badly for them 😢

I honestly don’t know how parents can be so level headed now but like dad here said He’s got to shift gears to be present for her legacy for answers he’s a wonderful dad to his kids at his side seeing his determination 😢

[RedLeo-pfyo]

The dad has done 1 million interviews for some reason, something does not seem genuine about him.

The cops know more than they're saying. If they tell the family too much, they'll run to the media..

I've been in this position, my 19 year old sister was murdered in 1980. My Father dealt with the authorities. Keeping the case in the public eye is critical. You may never know what happened its senseless. Your sister would never want your lives to be destroyed by this, its OK. She wants you to go on live love laugh and never forget her. She is with you always!!!

I’m so sorry for their loss. They are just so strong. May these beautiful souls Rest In Peace. ❤

You should never ask victims parents how they’re doing right after a heinous crime. Just start out with I’m so sorry and your families in my prayers

[PixelKing]

"How you guys doing?" Wow. Seriously???!

[cjackson]

The look in the families eyes is priceless. They all look so traumatized. This situation has to be hard to deal with but the country feels their pain

[mairinkelly-may]

My deepest condolences on the loss of your daughter and sister. What a dignified family in their darkest hour of grief trying to get justice for their loved one with such dignity and composure. In my thoughts and prayers alongside other 3 victims.

This reminds me of the 1990 University of Florida murders by serial killer Danny Rolling in the way it started. He broke into apartments and killed students while they were sleeping. And it wasn’t safe until he was eventually caught. This killer MAY not be a student as was the case with Rolling. Not everybody who’s on campus or in the town is a student.

What a beautiful family, they all have those big brown eyes. I’m so sad that the family has to go through this and am praying for swift justice

[jacquelineyoung]

My words seem so inadequate to say I’m so very sorry for your horrific and tragic loss of your beloved Kaylee. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and families

[lourdesr]

She is so well spoken. Sending prayers to all the families

[GameFanTime]

They say sharp edged weapon because it could be anything and not nec a knife. It could be an ice pick or a skate blade or any thing point and sharp which was used as a weapon but not nec a weapon. AND that matters as people might come across a bloody sharp object which isnt a knife and police dont want anyone to rule that off and dismiss it. Sharp edge weapon is a accurate description. I hope they find the person soon. So scary.

My deepest condolences to this family my heart breaks for their pain. They sound like a very close family and for them to lose their beloved sister daughter who they loved so much in such a gruesome way is just unthinkable. I pray that justice is served soon. God Bless everyone
