Police have cleared an Idaho University professor as a suspect in the murders of four students last month, noting they do not believe she had any involvement despite videos being posted on TikTok that theorize the history teacher was responsible for the killings.
"At this time in the investigation, detectives do not believe the female associate professor and chair of the history department at the University of Idaho suing a TikTok user for defamation is involved in this crime," the Moscow Police Department said in a statement on Tuesday.
"Professor Scofield has never met Guillard," the lawsuit states."She does not know her. She does not know why Guillard picked her to repeatedly falsely accuse [her] of ordering the tragic murders and being involved with one of the victims. Professor Scofield does know that she has been harmed by the false TikToks and false statements."
