ID - 4 University of Idaho Students Murdered - Moscow # 25

How hard can it be to track down a car if they have such specific information about the model and year? There can't be that many in the state. Why do they need to appeal to the public and flood their tip line?

Have you followed the Elizabeth Barraza case?

 

[lonetraveler]

I 100% agree with you. Throughout this case I've seen so many people speculate as to why LE releases certain information. Instead of taking LE's statements at face value, so many are trying to twist things around claiming that maybe LE is trying to "trick" or "taunt" the killer. That would be so reckless, not to mention unethical. The community could be a huge help to LE if we would only do what they are asking of us, instead of trying to read some ulterior motive into everything LE says or does.

Well, we are a sleuthing site and we do ask questions about every single bit of information. That is what we do. We have to research and do our own sleuthing regardless of what LE has stated. JMO

At 11.15 "you do those things right at the beginning and it sets you up for success".

Sounds like they got something solid.

Thank you so much for posting this link, I wouldn't have found this interview on my own and it was really interesting, with so much information. I also think they have something solid, particularly from Chief Fry's answer to the question of the case going cold - a firm, confident, No.

Does it seem like Chief Fry’s demeanor is a little different in this latest interview to anyone else?

He seems almost upbeat. Fingers crossed.

 

[Tillicum]

I love how he talks about the vehicle, like no big deal! I feel like there’s some psychology behind this, as if they know the owner is not going to come forward but maybe someone who knows the owner will come forward if they make it sound very nonchalant.

Just wanting to talk to the individuals who were in that vehicle…
They may have some valuable information for us

MOO

"We started receiving many, many tips..." He says with a smile.

Ornery chief

I think hes confident. Hoping the next door neighbors camera caught something good

More from the Fox article below..

On Wednesday, former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker told Fox News the investigation is "at a sensitive stage."

"It’s on the verge of being a cold case in the sense that resources and the FBI and the State Police start to peel off," he said on "America’s Newsroom."

Which is a really confusing statement considering that FBI has increased it's agents from 20 to 46?

Idaho murders: Police personnel numbers changing as investigation surpasses 3 weeks

University of Idaho students Ethan Chapin, 20; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and 21-year-old Madison Mogen were stabbed several times and killed on November 13.

The calls about the white Hyundai car are going to an FBI call center instead of Moscow PD. That's the increase. Apparently they are experiencing a heavy call volume.

File it under - probably didn't happen?

I saw that daily mail link too ( a few pages back) saying ' manpower' was being reduced.
Think there's been a lot of inaccurate reporting.

the national media pressure is still massive, which means the political pressure is, so I just can't see them running down staffing because we're in 4th week of a mass murder

 

[Snoop Sister]

You are absolutely correct. The vin number is on the dash next to the driver's windshield and also in the trunk. My husband was manager of Bodyshop of a major dealership. He showed me this.

I wasn’t aware that it was in the trunk as well. Is this in all vehicles?

He seems MUCH more relaxed then the past interviews I have seen. JMO

 

[BeckyF]

You guys, this Dad is not supposed to know how LE works. He's not supposed to be acting rationally or doing anything that we might deem normal. His entire internal self is has gone haywire. NOt saying he is crazy but in times of grief, we do not process info like we should. We can short circuit. If it were me, I'd prob be hospitalized by now, tbh.
Ima say we need to give this poor soul some grace. Questioning his judgment, judging what he says, remarks about what he might do next make me personally very uncomfortable. Our role is not to judge him - but to help him.

Yes, I so agree. I was a little hard on him in a comment I made a couple of days ago and I feel bad about it. I don’t think there is a rule book on how to navigate your way thru such an awful event.

You can't be serious. Anyway, they don't even know the license plate so it could be from any state.

ETA: there were a total of 650,127 of those model years sold in the USA

 

[Dysfunkshun]

Exactly! He didn’t seem relaxed at all before!

 

[SuziQ]

Just my opinion, but I think it was idiotic for this former FBI agent to say that this case is on the verge of becoming a cold case. For crying out loud...its only a month old!

And his reasoning is off. The amount of agents working the case doesn't determine a cold case. Imo.

It is for Hyundais 2016 and up

Yes, I'd even started to feel sorry for him, he'd looked so down ( Yeah, I know they've made mistakes but if you haven't got the funds for regular training how do you deal with a once in a lifetime event in a tiny city like Moscow?)

 

[Snoop Sister]

I am trying to get caught up on the posts. Would someone please give me the link to the latest news conference with the Chief? Thanks!

 

[IceCreamSundae]

I’ve found him much more relaxed since yesterday myself.

 

[Eagle2123]

Yes! Extremely nervous in his past interviews/press conferences IMO. I didn’t get that sense after watching that.
