2022 University of Idaho killings
Due to the slow release of details about the crime to the public, some began to speculate and spread misinformation about the case on social media. Three days after the killings, the father of Ethan Chapin spoke out about the lack of information from the University of Idaho and local police, highlighting the spread of rumors due to the silence from officials. The father of Kaylee Goncalves spoke of the lack of flow of information from police to the families of the victims about 11 days after the attack, saying: "They’re just so vague with everything that they say and then they like slowly peel it back later until you like find the real story".
