McDonough said that investigators did not seem to be aware of the glove until he pointed it out while showing footage of the glove snuggled among leaves in the snow outside the house. "I actually found a glove and turned it, I pointed it out to the officer who was there securing the scene and they came and they collected it," he said, according to Newsweek. "The officer that was there, obviously, they didn't know about it because he came over and photographed it and he talked to the evidence, they had evidence tech, and immediately, you know, later they come out and got it."

McDonough said the glove raised several questions including if it was there on the night the students were murdered. "Is this from the night? Is it random i.e. somebody missed the trash can and they were walking by... Is the suspect taunting the authorities by you know placing something like this hypothetically?" he said. 

A user posted McDonough's video on the subreddit on Sunday, December 11, and said that it was "crazy" that the glove was found by the former homicide detective and not by the investigators. 

One user replied, "I still can't get over the fact that they disregarded that glove for several days. It's probably nothing. But you can see it in other news footage & the drone video shot prior to this one." Another person wrote that while every piece of evidence counts, "if I committed a crime, the last thing I'd do was leave a glove behind. I'd take every last bit of evidence as far away as possible and burn it."

Goncalves, Mogen and Kernodle, along with two other roommates, lived together inside the rented house located near the University of Idaho campus. On the night of the attack, Chapin, Kernodle's boyfriend, was sleeping over at the house. There were two other female roommates who slept through the stabbings and they were later ruled out as potential suspects. No suspect has been named yet by the police in the case. Recent tests ran by an Idaho lab on the contents of the crime scene failed to identify a suspect. Five vehicles were also taken to examine as a part of the investigation.  Authorities have not said who owns the vehicles, which have been parked outside the house since the night of the killings.
