MOSCOW, IDAHO: More than a month has passed after four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their beds. Police have yet to identify a suspect (s) in the brutal murders. Investigators with the Moscow, Idaho, Police Department are reportedly sifting through 22,000 registered white Hyundai Elantras that appear to be similar to a vehicle seen on a video taken near the site where the students were killed.
In the early morning hours of November 13, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death in an off-campus three-story rented home. Law enforcement is yet to identify the suspect(s) in the case. Authorities have said that the gory scene where the students were killed was the “worst they’ve ever seen."

The Internet has now said that it is possible to find a needle in a haystack, considering how police found the killers of Aiden Leos after releasing only a vague image of a car. "Sharing this case to prove that you can find a needle in a haystack! In 2021 there was a road rage incident where tragically a 6yo boy was shot and killed on a Southern California Highway. The cops released one still frame of traffic camera video looking for a white VW wagon. The car was eventually found in the garage of the shooter’s grandma’s house, she was out of the country on vacation at the time. I hope this gives some ray of hope for all of us that they’ll find the elantra," a user wrote on Reddit.
Leos was shot dead last year in what authorities described as a road rage incident in Orange, California. At the time, his mother was driving him to school. Police subsequently released a hazy photo of the suspect vehicle, described by the California Highway Patrol as a white Volkswagen Golf SportWagen with non-tinted windows, either a 2018 or 2019 model. The license plate was unknown. A couple -- Marcus Anthony Eriz and Wynne Lee -- was later charged in his murder.
Meanwhile, Kaylee Goncalves' father has spoken up about newly-unearthed footage showing his daughter and her friend Madison Mogen in which they are heard talking about a person called 'Adam.' Steven Goncalves has said Adam is not a suspect in the case. Surveillance footage believed to be taken early on November 13, 2022, shows Goncalves and Mogen walking in downtown Moscow, accompanied by a man, just hours before they were brutally murdered.
In the video, the women seem to be wearing the same clothes Goncalves and Mogen were donning in another video outside a nearby food truck the same evening. The man in the video also appears to be wearing clothes that look like those a man at the food truck wore, and who police had claimed was not a suspect. "Maddie, what did you say to Adam?" a woman asks in the video. "Like, I told Adam everything," the second woman replies. Goncalves' father has said it was "pretty clear" that the man his daughter was talking about in the video was not a suspect.
This comes as a local shop owner recently claimed that Goncalves would beg her friends to walk closely behind all the time as she was "terrified" of a stalker who was reportedly following her around. Following her and her three friends' brutal murder, several reports claimed that Goncalves had a stalker. However, Moscow police have denied having any knowledge of it.
