ID - 4 University of Idaho Students Murdered - Moscow # 24

[hopewell]

Do you have a photo or something that could help LE?

I do not. I just mean that it is a car that is primarily driven by females due to its quite small size and "cute" factor.

Male driving a 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra is about 50/50, or less.

My opinion.

young male in North Idaho is probably way less than that, IMO

You know what, I remember reading something about a person that people were suspecting wore a watch on their right hand. I know this is vague and I cannot even remember where I heard/read it. It struck me because I am right handed and I have always worn my watch on my right hand and only have met like 2 other people that do the same. It just stuck out to me because generally, lefties wear their watch on their right hand, generally. Just an interesting thing to consider.

Funny I do too. So maybe not that uncommon? Imo

Finally, this is what we need.

I have to say my theory of a perp on foot, isn't such a slam dunk now.

I think this is a badly-needed break, coming on the heels of today’s release of 20 minutes of footage taken during a nearby police call, in the early morning hours of November 13, as featured on News Nation’s Banfield .

How do they know it is between a 2011-2013 model? Eye witness? Surveillance footage?

I believe Xana's car is the blue Honda Civic with AZ plates.

That’s a chev not a Hyundai

Thanks, seeing they make several different sauce/toppings for mac & cheese, not hard to imagine they'd do carbonara on elbow noodles?

First time I've ever heard them called this! Then again, I'm not in the U.S.

X + M have photos on their Instagrams at the house as far back as Fall of 2021. K and the SRs were not in any of the photos at the house until this fall. So it seems like X + M may have lived there during the 2021-2022 school year, but it’s not a confirmed fact.

Thank You!!! I don’t have Instagram so I was only able to see a few of their photos from the links provided here!

True, but someone brought up a point on another forum that college kids drive anything. They do, of course, but these cars are so small that any male over 5'9" would have an issue with comfort and utility. I'm 6'2" and can barely fit in compacts like that.

It might not have been “stolen” in the traditional sense, but it could have been borrowed without permission. Something along the lines of someone grabbing their roommates car keys and “borrowing” their car while they are asleep.

Sure, but if police have a vehicle with stolen plates, they will be confident in making a public release.

It could be, A, B, or C

The reason I say it could be stolen, is if the vehicle is local, police have already run the database and know who's car it might be.

Being a multiple murder case, the person that committed this crime probably wanted an unidentifiable vehicle, aka stolen with common status. Thats criminal tradecraft

 

[Zella]

How do they know it is between a 2011-2013 model? Eye witness? Surveillance footage?

My guess is based on both and they were able to narrow it down based on visible features not found on earlier or later models. MOO

First time I've ever heard macaroni described as that! Haha!

Then again, I'm in Europe. Pasta can never be described as noodles here. Different thang.

 

[Balthazar]

Could be a much wider area for all we know?
Pretty sure they have located all owners by now so I'm wondering why they announced it?

Who is likely to buy a car of this make model and year?
What age group?
It seems old but must have been well maintained to still be functional?
Unless they know the owner was not the driver that night?

Given the age, it might be someone's mom or dad's former vehicle that was passed down. Or it may have been bought used. If you scroll down here you can see the buyer demographics: 11 Hyundai Elantra Facts And Statistics You Should Know - Engine Patrol

 

[HopeValleyDevil]

Dont need the FBI for that. Local police have access to that as well.

Who is running the investigation?

 

[chprs]

Are ANPR cameras used in the US?

I'm guessing that the reason they can't identify the plate is that it was seen on a ring doorbell camera near to the home and they haven't been able to account for it.

This never made any sense to me either..the only thing I can think of is maybe she finished her classes over the summer? Moo.

They also went to school for all of covid, remote learning could have helped her earn more credits.

Sure, it would be a bit uncomfortable for certain people with larger frames, but it doesn't mean someone wouldn't drive it because it's not the most comfortable. My father, 70, with plenty of money to afford a more than comfortable car, still chooses to drive tiny micro-vehicles, and he is 6'2 225lbs... I've laughed for years about it, because he looks like the Incredibles dad huge man in tiny car...

I was responding to which car was Xana's. I think we're talking about two different things.

 

[Diddian]

A white car always makes me think: rental. But do rental fleets have cars that old?

The little boy was strungled, with killer's bare hands. The pаrents and their little daughter were killed with knife. Killer spent some time in the family home after killings: ate their food, usef their toilet, slept on their sofa, used their computer. DNA and fingerprints of the killer recovered from the crime scene, case never sold.
.

Every incident of this nature is unique. IMO references to historic cases serves no purpose. Investigators deal with what is in front of them. Digging in to this situation. This case has many “leads” and many POI’s. Digging takes time.
