Father of Idaho murder victim says ‘means of death’ do not match

Investigators trying to track down the killer of four University of Idaho students have said that “progress” has now been made in the hunt for a mystery car spotted at the crime scene.

For almost two weeks, police have been searching for the occupant or occupants of a white Hyundai Elentra seen in the “immediate area” of the King Road home at the time of the murders.

On Monday, Moscow Police said that “progress continues to be made in finding information” about the vehicle with more than 10,000 tips so far received from the public throughout the murder investigation.

While more FBI agents have been assigned to the case this week, an attorney for Kaylee Goncalves’ family expressed a lack of confidence in law enforcement’s abilities to catch the killer.

More than five weeks have now passed since Goncalves, her roommates Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle, and Kernodle’s boyfriend Ethan Chapin were brutally stabbed to death inside an off-campus rental home in Moscow on 13 November.

No murder weapon has been found, no suspects have been identified and no arrests have been made.
