"They have re-interviewed some of the folks we've interviewed earlier in this investigation to clarify information. Sometimes when new information comes forward, the people that we've spoken to beforehand may have new insight on that," Police Captain Lanier said. "So, it does often seem like we're backtracking, but we're really just trying to get the most important details and the best timeline that we can come up with."

He also said that the Moscow Police Department has "literally an army of analysts who have been sorting through videos that have been submitted through the [fbi.gov/moscowidaho] upload site.” As of now, the MPD has six detectives and five support staff working on the case. They are also being assisted by 46 FBI investigators in Moscow and around the country, along with two Behavior Analysis Unit investigators. Also part of the investigations are 13 State Police investigators and 15 uninformed troopers.

As far as the most recent updates on the investigation go, the MPD continues to look for information about a white Hyundai Elantra that was spotted in the immediate area of the King Road residence where the victims lived, on the day of the murder. They believe that the person(s) in the vehicle will have information that would prove very useful in the case.

In light of the murders, the community is on edge and there has been a huge spike in emergency calls reporting suspicious activity. Students of the University of Idaho have been given the option to continue studies online, if they do not feel comfortable coming back to campus. FOX News states that 25-40 per cent of the students did not return to campus after the Thanksgiving holidays.
