As Bryan Kohberger\\u2019s defense team tries again to get a judge to toss out the indictment against Kohberger, the home where the four murders took place is now gone.

The clapboard house located at 1122 King Road, Moscow has been torn down, with the entire front of the building razed from sight in roughly 15 minutes. According to school officials, demolition was set for during the school\'s winter break, when fewer students would be in the area. It took just 90 minutes in total, for the home to become a pile of rubble.

The debris, loaded up by two contractors, was taken to a secret area for disposal. The site was combed for not a single item to be left behind for the curious to find and keep as a macabre souvenir. One local who wished to remain anonymous said \'They want nothing left for ghouls to plunder.\'

Some, however, are still concerned that the best evidence in this case is now gone.\\xa0 The home was scanned using 3D imaging to allow the jury to be brought into the home and take a virtual tour where they wouldn\'t have been able to go.

The families of the four students killed in the house on King Road were not in agreement on the demolition. The Goncalves and Kernodle families issued a statement before the demolition, asking the university to wait to tear the building down until Kohberger\'s trial is completed.

The Goncalves\' family said through their attorney, that the house \\u201chas evidentiary and emotional value."

In the statement, Goncalves wrote, "The family has stressed tirelessly to the Prosecution and the University of Idaho the importance (evidentiary and emotionally) that the King Road house carries but nobody seems to care enough."

She adds that the \\u201cfamilies\' opinion isn\'t a priority.\\u201d

The family of Ethan Chapin, who did not live there, offered its support for the demolition. In their statement, the Chapins said the demolition was needed\\xa0 "for the good of the University, its students (including our own kids), and the community of Moscow."
