#NBCNews #Idaho #Students
They either have a legit suspect or they got nothing…..
The first 48 hours after a Homicide are the most crucial……..you don’t get a lead or suspect by then,chances of solving it are dramatically reduced.
So they either have something or nothing? Very insightful.
@ABurningBear 😂 thanks for the good laugh.
Incompetent Republican run Idaho police
“defund the police” – democrats.
And you have the murders solved, suspect in costudy, and got solid convictions on all 4 murders.
There focused on just the car they need to really dig into every person that was with them very hard do not delete anyone out yet U just don’t know who’s it is so why would you just let them off the hook so easily I think this is a bunch of bull….
they have not had a murder in 7 years, they have little to no experience. Call in the FBI.
Ummm, watch the news!! The FBI has been there almost since day 1 😆😆😆😆
They already have the FBI !!
Its not they didnt have a murder in 7 years. Its probably they were sleeping in the past 7 years while a serial killer is wrecking havoc. Its maybe the only time when bodies were found. Or the media got involved. Otherwise the real truth they were napping for the last 7 years solving nothing
I really believe the Moscow Police should be thoroughly investigated themselves. Something is horribly wrong there. These families deserve answers. America deserves answers.
It’s not that hard. Occam’s Razor.
They found the heart of one of the students in a road salt pike in rural Tennessee
@Timothee Asher Look it up Search heart found in salt Tennessee
I’ll be damned, they actually did find 1 in a rock salt pile.
@jess issac not of the college students though I looked
@Lisa Bishop told yo so Crazy isn’t it
@jess issac wtfffffff
I n a n H a r s h
It’s an investigation. Nobody needs to know anything until it’s solved. The parents talk too much and leaks don’t need to be out in the media right now. Great job by the PD for keeping all sources within the department. This isn’t an episode of Law & Order or First 48. It’s a real serious case
WRONG the parents have every right to be frustrated and applaud them for hiring there own lawyer.
@Jason Mendoza i’m definitely with you on that. I don’t understand why people are not conceiving of the 8 grieving parents dealing with an investigation that is moving at turtle speed. We have to be honest. Because it’s either one of two scenarios. They either one, are playing things extremely close to the chest! Not divulging much. Or two, they literally have squat and they are putting on a façade that they are on the ball when they, in reality, are not
To be fair i’m pretty sure that It will be a first 48 episode once it’s solved
@Firewalker G I agree with that. I actually really do think it’s time for them to start offering rewards. Incentivize it now. It’s definitely come to that juncture
Ya friends got stabbed they not coming back go get a gun n get some get back
Yet another incompetent police force…. who here is surprised… not I……. society hires the dumbest to be police….
When i was in germany i got attacked 3 times by petty theives immigrants within 10 minutes. next to a police Station. I kept running to save myself. The police were doing nothing. They are scums every where in the world and This case just proves it
This highlights most of what detectives do. Waiting for someone to tell them what happened.
These guys have nothing it’s obvious…..They have no idea what there doing.The FBI should take over the case if that’s even possible.
They took it weeks ago. And they are probably eating donuts now instead of solving it.
Absolutely, they’ve dropped the ball, & it’s time to give *real* investigators the lead.
Play time is over, *Moscow PD.*
So can anyone on here do better than law enforcement and if so explain to me in detail how you would go about investigating this crime?
Murders are solved, believe me, everybody, police did a good job
1) who are they supposed to “turn it over” to? Idaho State Police and the FBI are working on it. 2) why say “families” plural when you’re only referring to the Goncalves family? There were 3 other victims….
It is a cold case after 3-4 weeks. Duh.
No it is not.
This case just went to the Delphi level with everyone and their mothers calling in so many tips the cops will be wasting valuable time checking into them.I bet maybe all of 5 of those tips are even relevant to the case.
amazing how couch detectives solved this case within 48 hours by just watching a food truck video !
Lol
THE FOOD TRUCK KILLED HER!!!
No. The food truck video simply seemed to confirm what was already a mountain of circumstantial evidence against this creep. He has a history of disrespecting women (losing a job and being kicked out of a fraternity for it), he’s a hunter experienced with carving up deer carcasses, and he’s pretty slick with a knife. His family also has wealth and political connections and he fled the country apparently right after the murders.
They keep reiterating how many tips they’ve received but, what are they doing with them.
Killer targeted Kaylee, he lived close by, he knew the house well enough he knew the kids well enough. The murder weapon is still in the house or outside near/around the house. Now the question is who near them had the motive/past violent tendencies to go after Kaylee.
Kaylee Goncalves’s parents REALLY seem to enjoy the attention…
What a moronic thing to say.
They do and it’s weird
Odd for sure.
They are desprate parents looking for answers. How cruel of u to say so. If i was kaylees mother i would be doing more than that.
Bring in Scotland Yard, I bet they will solve the case in a week. Lets face it, we Americans are only good for gender studies.
😂
Let them just get busy with their own mess and high crime rate in crime riddled London. They are inept themselves
Very old news. Not an update whatsoever
That police department can’t handle the just b. But they are unwilling to get proper help because they can bill the overtime to the state and ask for more money from the state. They can’t do their job. They can write tickets but can’t investigate murders.
💯 AGREED!
I have never heard of a “ lawyer “ calling the shots in a murder case . The FBI are already on the case . What are they going to do due the police for not driving living the murder ? Don’t they get a person plans how NOT to be caught ?
None of your business what the dad and lawyer are doing. I know my iq is higher than an fbi agent’s. U have to learn self confidence. U r such a follower, like so many.
The investigation left a glove on the front lawn of the student’s house. It was pointed out to police. It was partially covered in snow but should not have been missed. The sent for the evidence crew to collect it. They were suprised it was there.
The white Elantra speeding away at 3:45 am was on vid the police did not collect. A woman working the night shift at the gas station simply decided to look at it after hearing police wanted information about a white Elantra. She turned it in 5 WEEKS after the murders.
The lawyer is right for pointing out major screw ups. This is elementary stuff, not rocket science. Simple – collect ALL the relevant evidence. They haven’t. Other people have had to point it out to them or bring it to them.
An lawyer wouldn’t ever ca the shots on anything a lawyer hasn’t even passed the bar exam. aan attorney however can
I thought the elite FBI unit are involved?
Have the searched footage at the restaurants the girls worked at, talk to everyone in the neighborhood, follow people with cars like the one being talked about and see if there is any weird acts of the people. A drone flow. See if there is any recent fires even bomb fires and investigate if clothing and tools were burned. A random purchase of cleaning supplies in the stores near by. Tire marks on drive way. Foot prints nothing? There is so many thing that can be done. Just think outside the box.
Did these 4 victims play video games? Please check their online play and who they may have unintentionally angered in the gaming world! PLEASE!
They should look at a Hyundai Accent
Every moron on the Internet has solved the case because they are so much smarter than Moscow police lol. Unbelievable how pumped up the egos are online. Absolutely ridiculous that the family plays into that crap.
They should be looking at the 2 surviving housemates. It seems highly unlikely to me that 4 people can be brutally murdered in a home and 2 others don’t hear anything? Sounds like a crime of passion which means the victims likely knew their killer.
they are killed by a Supernatural entitty
So has the parents gotten the vehicles 360 cameras checked yet I’m curious if any of their cars got anything?
The FBI is there
And oregon state police too
This case wont be solved its getting too messy. A lot of misleading tips and stories. Bfs being framed and labeled as suspects.
By online sleuth’s
I can’t believe some the comments here, wow…, These Parents need to know something , example We have 1 or 2 or 10 Persons of interest …., something and so does the public…., I would not let My child go back to school there…, Re: DELPHI…, Look a eyewitness seen this Bridge GUY (Monster) full of Mud and Blood the day of this horrible Crime and , So why did it take 6 yrs….
No they do not. Not until it’s solved. Let the police work
Not all crimes are solved in an hour like on some TV crime show.
End sanctuary cities and close the border. Also deport illegal aliens.
I’m starting to think there was four killers there’s no way one person’s going to do this and not one person’s going to wake up.maybe some crazy colt crap
I’m sorry, but they really need to look back into the guy that was hovering around them as that Food truck stop. and when he notices the girls left/ ditched him, he took off running in the opposite direction?? and then it just so happens the murders occur that night?? Did the police, after questioning, check his body at all for injuries from the knife?
The cops never mentioned this to-date…. and another YT channel person’s video pointed this out, that the kitchen sliding door handle on the outside appears to have been cut out in the midsection. It could have been there cuz it was broken and the owner of the house tried to fix it, or it was cut out to gain entry. I find it strange why the cops never mentioned that when they mentioned that the front door was left ajar. They even said that there was no signs of forced entry. So i’m assuming that the cutout was there before the 13th.
I wish they would put Paul Holes on the case
Biden should write a book on how to win an election from your basement by paying off the FBI and Twitter, Facebook and totally demolish America inside of 2 years
$100 it was an illegal immigrant.
Fire the Chief of Police.
“It was Trump” NBC probably
PRAYING they catch THIS guy. On one of the videos it shows the Girls TALKING about Adam and one of the girls told ADAM Everything.
SOMEONE NEEDS to be working on this.
I knew an Adam. I think he’s dead now though.
The house was party central. Literally living in their own private Idaho
I know who the killer is but I need $50,000 reward
Any information on the Hyundai Elantra found in Eugene Oregon today with a receipt for Candlewood suites Moscow Idaho inside.
Defund the police – let social workers solve the case and at least half of them should be black lesbos – we need equity and diversity
I doubt they even have DNA evidence
I don’t blame these parents. Can you imagine if it was your child
The chief needs to resign
Families come together as one through a mutual attorney to call on the State police and FBI to be brought in by the Idaho Attorney General. You have that right..
Too many errors that we KNOW of. Glove left on the front yard of the property found by a retired detective who saw it inside the crime scene taped area. He pointed it out to an officer who called in the evidence crew to photo and collect it. It was partially covered in snow and not obvious, but really? They missed a GLOVE?
The vid of the Elantra speeding down the road at 3:45 am was turned in as a fluke! It was 5 WEEKS after the murders and a night shift worker just decided to look. She had heard about an Elantra the police wanted information about. Sure enough she sees a white Elantra speeding away at 3:45 am!!! This vid would never have been seen by authorities if she didn’t decide to take a look. THAT is poor police work and should be in police academy classes as what a royal screw up looks like. Because of that woman and that vid the investigation was given a direction to focus upon and they began looking for more video outside of Moscow in that direction.
I hope the families do what needs to be done. Mr. Fry seems not to notice that indeed, there have been some significant problems with his investigation and that is even more disturbing that the errors themselves, imo.
@Friendly Observer The vehicle was seen on other cameras prior to that. It was seen on a camera on Linda Lane and on taylor. The woman decided to look after police asked for tips on a white elantra. not before.
Fry will not admit HE as the declared LEAD of this investigation left a glove on the front yard of the property. It was found by a retired detective AFTER the PD/crew’s scouring of the property was completed. He saw it from outside the crime scene tape and alerted an officer. The officer saw the dark colored glove partially covered in snow and wondered how that could have been missed. He photographed it and summoned the evidence collection people to collect it. SLOPPY and INEPT police work Mr. Fry.
A gas station night shift worker took it upon herself to look through video tape from the time of the murders. Nobody was asking for it. Nobody prompted her to do it. She found a white Elantra speeding down the road at 3:45 am. This, 5 WEEKS after the murders! Mr. Fry did not send his many, many fellow investigators to hound anyone with relevant vid to turn it over. If he did assign that task to others, he did not verify that all vid out there was retrieved and being examined. This is SO negligent imo, to have vid brought into the police 5 WEEKS after the murders that could have gone unseen except for ONE woman who decided to have a random look at it. Because of her, the investigation moved in the direction of that fleeing car. A MAJOR shift.
Sloppy, inept and worst of all, a narcissistic lead investigator who doesn’t address his OBVIOUS errors. He, like so many others, will not admit when they fail or when they themselves are not up to the organization necessary to make this investigation so tight that nothing will fall through the cracks. They are the dangerous police, imo. The ones who are always right even when they are wrong. Even when evidence is in their face, they will not acknowledge it if it makes them look bad.
I understand the family’s frustration. The only one benefitting from Mr. Fry leading the investigation is the murderer, imo.
When and if this crime is solved it will NOT be because of Mr. Fry. But if it is not solved, it will be in part because of Mr. Fry, imo.
No murderer Drives with Auto tire tracks
CHIEF, BARNEY FIFE, dont need no help man!
This monster 👹 might get away with these 4 Murders no suspect in custody.no D Clues as who did this .maybe it was 👽🛸 from out of space .Geez and with all the advanced thecnology that we have today 🇺🇸
👆🏼they are not fully competent
FBI suppressing evidence to cover for someone. No way the FBI has been on this case this long and dont have any evidence.
I can’t imagine what the families are feeling but the cops and investigators need time. Time not to just solve the case but to make it super tight for court. Parents voicing the police aren’t doing their best or that it’s taking too much time, will just add to pressure and flaws. Everyone needs to focus on trust, the victims and to let the experts do their job.
I agree! And only one family is constantly putting down LE!
What else could they possibly want, the CIA to get involved??
Be grateful for the tremendous effort by LE that’s going in to this investigation please!
All the negative vibes by one family is (I’m assuming) hard and hurtful to the families that are putting their trust in LE.
The holidays come around all the cops are sitting around eating doughnuts with the sprinkles on top while lazily waiting for a tip 🤣
It better not be the ex boyfriend Jack
It’s as plain as the nose on your face
This is going be unsolved murder ……
Look dude, I’m not really sure it’s your business for you decide who is capable. Apparently if you were capable you would be part of the investigation.., This dude is seriously annoying who asked for his two cents worth anyway
I don’t know who this guy is, but nobody asked for his opinion. And I really don’t think his opinion matters much. Dude who are you????
I love how everybody wants to put their two cents in even me. But if his opinion matters much I guess he would be in on the investigation
Im wondering how the other 2 roomates survived, was it someone they knew? The house was a party house, someone could have been there for days without been seen. Why them 4? Have they followed their paths starting a month or 2 before the murders, yo see of any confrontations with others? There is so many questioning that still need to be answered.
Please police, FBI, investigators, etc need to get more aggressive and offer a HUGE $$$ reward , so someone would speak up sooner than later. Be more aggressive with $$$
We believe is someone from their peer group, college, etc perhaps more than one person. Please don’t wait any longer. This will be a cold case if you keep waiting . Big $$$ and protection / immunity (perhaps they use drugs or alcohol etc) would make someone speak …please please DO more !! 😭
How about lab results ? Did they consumed drugs and something came out out of control! Please offer a HUGE reward $$$$$ 😭😭😭😭
