MOSCOW, IDAHO: The Idaho authorities have caught their hands on a potential new lead as they retrieved hours-long footage from a Moscow gas station that reportedly shows a suspicious white sedan speeding by the night the four University of Idaho students were killed at their nearby off-campus unit. Alongside the police are also looking for the occupants of a white Hyundai who they claim have "critical information" in the targeted murder.
An overnight assistant manager at the gas station said she’s been analyzing the tapes during her downtime and claims she saw a white sedan whiz by around 3:45 am on November 13. Authorities had previously reported that they believe Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kernodle’s boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20, were found stabbed to death between 3-4am.

“I had a weird feeling to go get on the cameras,” the employee, who requested her name be withheld for her safety while the killer or killers remain on the loose, told Fox News on Monday, December 12. She said the car was driving fast down highway 8 before turning onto a side street, and emailed a screenshot to a police tip address. Law enforcement officials who identified themselves as state detectives arrived at the gas station and collected the eight hours of footage around 11 am. on Tuesday, reported the source. When asked if they had found anything significant, one detective said “not yet.” The police are yet to comment on the findings.
Another lead police are trying to pursue is a white Hyundai, believed to be a 2011 to 2013 Elantra model which was seen near the home of the murdered students on King Road. However, the police said they do not know the vehicle’s license plate. It is also unclear if they believe anyone inside the car was either involved with the murders or witnessed anything that could assist the investigation. It has been a month that the murders remain unsolved with no suspect, motive or murder weapon. The FBI, Idaho State Police, and the Moscow Police Department are acutely working together to identify the suspect.
