MOSCOW, IDAHO: More than a month has passed after four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their beds. In the aftermath of the murders, investigators with the Moscow, Idaho, Police Department are reportedly sifting through at least 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."

Social media users have now suggested that the killer may have sunk the car in Dworshak Reservoir. "Are there any bodies of water in these directions? Kind of a stretch, but one of the oldest and most proven ways to dispose of a vehicle is a body of water," one user wrote. Another said, "Some have speculated the killer might have sunk the car in the Dworshak Reservoir, about 50 miles to the east/southeast."

"I was thinking the Snake River would be a good place to dump a car. In a non related Idaho story, there was a 17 year old kid from Idaho Falls that went missing in January of 2018. They found his car and a body inside the car in the Snake River, and they found it May of this year near a boat ramp... That's 4 years sitting in the river in just 8 feet of water," one user said, while another wrote, "My thoughts. If someone close to 1122 King committed the crime and walked, they may have ran somewhere to dump evidence and we’re heading back home at 3.45. No one knows except perp but just a thought."

The FBI reportedly recently added 30 extra agents to the case. It has also been revealed that the lead investigator in the case is reportedly 32-year-old US Army veteran Brett Payne, who joined the Moscow Police Department in 2020, just two years ago.
