MOSCOW, IDAHO: Police in Idaho are "confident" that the white Hyundai Elantra that was seen close to the scene of the brutal murder of four students holds "key" information in the case. On Thursday, December 15, Moscow Police Captain Roger Lanier reportedly stated that they are searching through a database of 22,000 white Hyundai Elantras with matching registrations.

Lanier emphasized that the public still needed to help the police, adding that the 22,000 white Elantras in the region "may not be all." "Maybe one of your neighbors has one in the garage they don't drive that often. Maybe there's one that's just not on the registration database," the captain said, according to Daily Mail. "Let us know," he added. Police reportedly took surveillance footage from a liquor store as they continue to search for the occupant of a white car seen near where four University of Idaho students, Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kernodle's boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20 were murdered in November.
