Hope it’s true. Hope they get the guy or girl! U never know!
“girl!” with superwoman strength!
I believe him. They have to keep some stuff private and build a case.
i dont think they would ever let a crazed murder lose if they had something.. you build the case after you catch them too
They should have hard evidence because it was reported that some of them fought back. I really hope that there are clues from
that.
It was JACK D, we ALL KNOW.
David Loach
Well don’t blame the public for trying to solve a case you should have done, it’s gone cold now,
I can not believe people think there should already be solved. These cases generally take years.
What?
You’re absolutely wrong about that ! They generally never take this long to at least have a suspect. How many more years will it take the Boulder PD to find Jon Benet Ramseys killer?
If the victims weren’t white, would we still be hearing about this?????
The victims were white. You mean were not?
you mean “weren’t”?
@Internet Censure Idk why we are grammar checking his racist comment as though that is the most egregious thing lol
They do not have any idea who did it if they are still following up on leads from random cyber sleuths. There are no cameras in the area that caught the license plate of a white Hyundai Elantra driving around Moscow? I understand that it is a common vehicle, but it isn’t that common.
This state blows
Nice name
When he has to reassure ppl it is not a cold case… he is desperate and indeed it is a cold case. Time is the best witness. 6 weeks. Does it needs to go to 6mo before we can call it a cold case?
Hundreds of tips each day… garbage tips. It is not about quantity, but quality. Garbage tips just mean more waste resources to decipher them and filter unrelated tips.
Media are being irresponsible in trying to continually imply that LE are not doing their job. It’s a difficult case! Msm are just hungry for new info on such a “hot” case
Oh my goodness … this is not TV where the murder is solved before the hour is up. Although, I believe it is a super simple obvious case … it still could take 4 or 5 years. I do not think that will happen here. I think it will be solved soon … but I know it could be a long time down the road.
This case not going cold. But all the other cases are going cold while they work to keep this one lukewarm though.
Translation > Barney Fife in this video doesn’t remotely have any clue whatsoever on who did this (As do the 3 dozen or more FBI agents on the case..) And word to the wise.. These people who are being mislead by thinking these clueless fools are waiting on DNA evidence.. Any DNA evidence would be of the highest priority and expedited weeks ago. The problem these incompetents worry about is (will the perpetrator strike again someone else?) this case is colder than the Yukon territory..
I believe they absolutely have evidence and an idea of who did this horrific crime. It is nearly impossible to convict someone in this country. Police are building their case so there are no loose ends when they do make an arrest. Remember Skylar Neese?? She was stabbed to death by her two best friends and police suspected them for a year but no evidence. It came as a confession from one of the killers. Also remember the two brothers Michael and Robert who hated their family. They plotted, planned and murdered their little baby brothers and sisters and ambushed their parents with knives! Wake up America!! This is a young angry person or persons with mental illness and rage possibly drugs! This person lacks brain development and too young and ignorant to get a gun. It was definitely someone they knew. This is not a hard profile to figure out. This person will be caught. It’s just a matter of time.
✍ *Note To Self* If i get murdered make sure it’s not in Idaho – these Chumps would screw up a Parking ticket
Handing out a speeding ticket in a school zone where the driver was 3 mph over the speed limit is a complex case to this 🤡 This guy just out and out insults my intelligence
It sounds like he doesn’t have to go far for that.
This small college town police force is in way over their heads. They can deal with wild parties on weekends but dealing with four murders is out of their league!
They are assisted by the state police, and 60 FBI agents. It not just a small college town police force working this case.
@A Florida Son The point is this: they got help because they are in “way over their heads!”
@Alexander Cerrone what else do you expect from hillbilly cops?
I hope that the car is not at the bottom of a river or lake, and the weapon is not in any road ditch far away from it.
Somebody would notice if a friend or relative suddenly stopped driving a car that matches the description. Hopefully.
@A Florida Son He wasn’t so stupid as to use his own car. Stolen and promptly returned to the owner, is the only possibility, if that car was involved at all.
Everything is strange here they didn’t close room. How can one enter ..a know person can only do this ..there are two people ..may be ex boyfriend
The “ex” does not fit the killer profile: a powerful ruthless male, smart enough to not leave any clues after killing four. NO ordinary dude!
@Internet Censure yes yes very much from Idaho 👍..agree
Police protection someone also possible
Suspects are white men’s so the public and Doughboy there does not want them caught
Keystone cops…..
This netflix doc gunna be crazy
Listen to the spirit box
Why would you call jack that many times before you were found dead minutes later? They definitely seen jack as they were walking home. Soon as they get to the door. Jack magically appears. They let him in no force entry! Right?! Jack talks to his ex. She says something that enraged him. Everybody know what happens next. Jack parked the white car somewhere around the corner ran to it and left
You green they were saying they ruled him but he really not ruled out! If you listen to the interview by the mother and father. The mother clearly says she don’t know why the police keep bothering jack we already feel in heart that jack has nothing to do with it! The family feels that way about jack not the police read in between the lines buddy. Your not very bright!
@big sus you act like ppl can’t leave there phone home and go commit a murder. You bring your phone you can be tracked! You stupid af
They may have called Jack like that all the time. Just because the only time _we’ve_ heard about it, doesn’t mean it’s the only time it happened.
@A Florida Son yessir
@A Florida Son my state
inept
Just the rumors related to the crashed car in OR were wildly off base and not even worth repeating. Here’s to wishing people could just stick to the facts.
How can it be that the local law enforcement haven’t yet arrested, charged, convicted and sentenced to the death penalty all the parties that have already been determined to be guilty by thousands of brilliant internet sleuths?
Can they get off the White Elantra already?? It was a random car that drove by a gas station at 3 o’clock in the morning Miles From the house. You know how many people are out driving around at 3:00 in the morning in a college town? If it was involved with the case they would have already found it and There would be informationAnd people in custody or being questioned And everyone would know it and it would be public knowledge And do it to the constant news coverage. We’ve been hearing about this car for 3 weeks With no further update are people in custody or people being questioned so its obviously a dead end let’s move on! As far as anyone knows The purple could have rolled a bicycle or he could have walked. I would say if anything he parked at the apartment com plex and walked through the woods to their house. That would be the best guess Because they would not want to approach the front Knowing that a lot of people have ring cameras or doorbell cameras Or surveillance cameras..
There wasn’t a lot of cars driving around at 3am in this small town. That’s why The Manager of the store searched thru the videos. The population is about $25,000 in Moscow, Idaho.
@Hot Vegas Even gjving that it 8s still a long shot that has not paid off so need to move on. If it was everyone would know it. They can always come back to it. Its all we have head about for 3 weeks, there has to be something more relevant.
The only reason the gas station footage was flagged, was because they were already looking for a white Elantra. It was first spotted very close to the murder scene around the same time as the murders. The videos that are close to the house have not been released, so instead they released a stock photo of an Elantra. Let them build their own case, rather than complaining that it’s not making you happy.
The white car is a red herring. It’s a good way to keep all the internet sleuths busy chasing their tail
Dude really likes the sound of his own voice. Too much yak yak, not enough do do.
His community is freaking out, he has to let them know they are still moving forward.
@A Florida Son “to let them know” or make them believe?
You can bet they have a suspect and they are building a case, every day more pieces of the puzzle come in. Its only a matter of time before this case takes a major leap forward and arrests are made and charges are laid.
Y’all need to get Olivia Benson on the case asap 😂😂😂😂
CHIEF reveals white Elantra has 4 wheels, 4 tires likely made of rubber, 1 tire may be under-inflated. Getting closer to solving the case.
Inspector Clouseau is on the case.
They not letting anyone know anything so when public pressure hit harder they throw a innocent person In jail
Competent killer and incompetent police🤔
Like Ramsey case no one will ever be caught
My prediction is that this case never gets solved
0°F
❄
To small of a police force to solve this , it’s gone cold , he just won’t admit it…
It’s not just the Moscow PD that’s on the case, but it happened in their jurisdiction, so it is their case. State police and FBI are also involved.
@A Florida Son They won’t solve it , PERIOD
@A Florida Son too many clumsy cooks …
https://youtube.com/@dreamearthvision🇺🇸🇺🇸
Killer moved to Miami
Listen they’ve open sourced it they’re not doing a thorough investigation of what they have they’re asking anyone anywhere to help.
They had that crime scene locked down for such a long time with so many people walking through that house and they’ve missed bagging evidence immediately like those gloves outside
instead of focusing on the crime scene itself and the 4 dead bodies they’re focused on the gas station cameras and get away drivers and ten thousand tips instead of focusing on the facts that are known at the scene of the crime.
At this point it feels like they’re waiting for the killer to turn themselves in or involve themselves with the investigation and that’s how they’re gonna try to find them.
The killer or killers are probably out of the country by now.
out of state
OMG I’M SO IRRITATED WITH CHECKING FOR “WE’VE GOT THIS 🤬” UPDATES!!! PLEASE GET THAT 🤬!
All these tips and yet nothing.
Too bad these kids didnt own a gun to save their lives.
Oh well, let’s hope the women in the comments learn and go get a gun.
Very much doubt it, because guns are super Evil, the news told me so… right after they told me the cops were too late, the cops are cowards and that the cops are incompetent.
But yeah dont need a gun, it isnt like a man with a knife can butcher 3 women and a guy.
This will never get solved when the FBI is more concerned about censorship and Donald Trump.
I saw this in a movie once, it turned out to be a cover up.
BORING!
This story is more than one day old. No one cares.
As a Republican and proud NRA member, I say just stack those bodies on the Heap of the Sacrificed and move on.
Police are clueless because they bogged themselves down with 10k tips (all of them pointless and prob never been reported to begin with)
He’s saying the same things Delphi said…and it took them 6 yrs to find a guy who admitted to being on bridge day after murders. 🤦♂️
I feel like this case will
Never be solved just cause the house was a party house and had over 100 of people in it
Father, I ask that you wrap your arms around Family, Friends, and Investigators this morning.. Please talk to them and bring guidance into their lives with your word.. Father, I ask that you please bring healing into their lives, healing from the hurt, pain, and sadness, healing from worry and anxiety, healing from depression and grief, healing from anything else that may cause harm to their body or homes.. Father, I ask that you please bring healing, comfort, and peace to their mind and heart for their loss.. I ask that you please remove the sadness and replace it with happiness, love, laughter and tears of joy, for the memories made and for the memories they can make in heaven.. Father, I ask that you please provide the help that’s needed in finding who’s responsible for the deaths of these 4 kids.. I ask that you please provide for any assistance or needs that they may have and I ask that you please bring blessings into their lives so that they may be a blessing for others.. In Jesus name.. I pray.. Amen!!!
Yep, it was the father that did this
“Father” has forsaken the partiers and self-indulgents.
NBC now that youve been exposed for suppressing important news from the country , we think its best if you leave real news stories like this to professional news outlets. You really cant be trusted and frankly youre not a legit news source.
*Before you bozos dismiss “internet sleuths” (@**1:00** or so) what about the video that was discovered by citizen sleuths Alina Smith and Kristine Cameron? You know, the same video that is turning up on all the major news sites showing Maddie and Kaylee walking down a street at 1:30 am with a young man? Looks to me like these “internet sleuths” are finding things out that you donut-eating, coffee-slurping hicktown cops have been too lazy and stupid to find out.*
Just over 50 percent of murder cases EVER get solved. That’s including cold cases. When you factor in human errors of convicting the wrong people that number is likely 50% or less solved. This fact needs to sink in before worrying about how long it takes the “coin flip” to occur
Crazy this is not solved does not make sense has the local fbi been investigated?
Who is William and Tim ask jack look at mekcee on YouTube about ghost box session
Thank God. This case is receiving the privilege it deserves.
There is no god
There are now over 60 FBI Agents working on this case which will help. There was a crashed white Elantra with no plates on the side of a road in Oregon. It was deemed unrelated to the case.
too many cooks …
Yes, it is. Cold than a mutha?????
Check stores who sell burner phones in Moscow get all the new numbers in last 90 days if possible.
Seeing how complex this case is it might take a year or so just to find who might of killed them
following this case from India 🇮🇳
The killer is probably out there encouraging his/her/their friends to all call in as many false tips as possible to tie up police resources.
Guy needs to do less speaking and more finding of a killer. Its getting to be like a PR campaign constantly touting their commitment. . Why didn’t they tell every single business within a 10 mile radius to not erase any surveillance footage the day after the murders? Unreal
… because they’re dumb
I’m driving down the road and I noticed a white car that looked very similar to that Honda. But then I noticed it’s a Nissan I wonder if the police are also looking for cars that are Nissan that look like this?
Same shape headlights as the Hyundai but it’s a Nissan
I don’t think the cops could be any more dumb
That’s cute that he thinks he is reassuring people…. his case is stone cold, but he pretends its not.
Why no reward money??????? I’m serious, some people only motivated by money and sitting on their thumbs until there’s a monetary benefit. Of course most are just motivated by the right thing to do … others not so much.
@4REAL maybe but much less expensive to find the killer sooner than later
I don’t think they know who it is – sorry – I think this is it. They are hoping for a miracle now.
Hope they catch the black guy.
Moving foward into the furture 2026… Moscow Police Chief “Please be patient.. This is not a cold case.. We’re still receiving hundreds of tips” 😅😅😅😅
In other words, they have no leads no suspects nada!!! Just fumbling through “tips.”
With so much resources at hand and the amount of technology…. You mean to tell me that there’s no dna evidence anywhere?
It may be that the killer is a professor or teacher in the college. The Frat boy at the fraternity house ran reporters off and away from that door. He said no reporters allowed at the frat house and no info will be forthcoming. See how these people are hiding,? These residents in Moscow Idaho are trying to pretend there’s a crazed murderer among them, like a Charles Manson type. No that’s not it. It wouldn’t surprise me that one of these gals professors had his eye on these gals. And I mean all the gals. Not just the two blondes. Dark haired gals attract men too and sometimes the wrong men. The cops should check out what these gals were studying in that school and who their teachers were. And even past classes they took. Some of these college professors teach very bad and anti American. Not all, some. We are well aware how radical some of these schools are. These nutty professors have these kids all keyed up over crap. Supreme Court decision, they’re all out protesting carrying signs. Yelling at the top of their lungs. And they protest our govt at every juncture. They are taught to destroy, tear down what went before. Taught to love the Communist way of life, how awful capitalism is. And it’s encouraged by their professors they meet in these colleges
” Dark haired gals attract men too and sometimes the wrong men.” So, for this female commenter, men are “attracted” by hair color only, not facial and body features first.
All those “blondes” are nondescript females, with nothing to be obsessed with. Besides, not even sure they were/are real “blondes”.
“Taught to love the Communist way of life, how awful capitalism is.” Stupid female, communist society was the most disciplined, unlike the US hippie culture that has infested the US society for several decades now. And racist too, with all-black ghettos everywhere. Yes, capitalism is awful, breeding high criminality, homeless, hunger *and* food wastage, drug addiction (100,000 deaths 2021), crappy cities, etc. Enjoy.🤣🤣🤣🤣
The people in Moscow ID must sleep in terror! First the cops suspected the bartender, then the Taco Truck guy, then all eyes were looking out for an unnamed “incel”, an unlovable man who kills out of pent up rage! Most recently the suspect has been a guy named “Adam”. Still no arrest. Do they have a top suspect and are they waiting for him to make a mistake and reveal himself, perhaps through another killing? “Hundreds of tips daily”!! That’s the ticket, that will git ‘er done!
I know who it was
You!
Chief, Barney Fife should go get Aunt Bee, to bake him a pie, instead of, keeping info from the puplic!
He’s got a side-kick. Humpty Dumpty 😀
Keep your eyes ear opens ! Stays safe ! Try not to go there’s by over thinking about these things !by dwelling on them ! Take a stand s togethers ,! As your not alone s out there’s !!
the police need to take a good look at the wheel wells on the car in the surveillance photo, they look much smaller than an elantra wheel well, i seen one photo, they may have more, and may know more, but not what i am seeing.
Nothing new here
Bring in more qualified experienced homicide detectives
my opinion, the police need to look into any family members or friends of hudson lindow, there was a link to these kids and the boy? but the university boy that drowned april 2022? his body was found close to this home may 2022? may fit a personal but revenge attack, and if anyone blamed these kids for his death. the manner these kids were murdered, was extremely brutal, it may also fit that some one came from out of town to commit the murders, and a car to be found. a little time has passed since the boy investigation, prayers to the family, sad.
The public should chill. You can’t rush this.
People have to calm
Down and dig in to a few dozen or so forensic file cases. 6 weeks is not a cold case. Look at the Indiana case where they made the arrest after 5 years. That was a cold case.
Kaylee sounded angry when she asked Maddy what did she tell Jack. Maddy responded: I told him everything. What if Kaylee had started secretly fooling around with Adam while still messing around with her ex now and then, who im sure she still had some kind of feelings for. Adam falls in love with the beautiful blonde and is love sick. Kaylee is not committing to either of them, but Jack is fine with that. Jack knows about Adam because he and Kaylee has history, but Adam doesn’t know Kaylee still loves her ex. Adam confides in Maddy on how much he loves Kaylee and is losing his mind over her because she doesn’t seem to want him as much as he wants her. Maddy is sick of the whinning and tells Jack everything in a drunken and cold way. Adam is drunk and furious. He then starts brushing Kaylee off for the rest of the night. Kaylee knows that her best friend said something to him. What if Kaylee called Jack so many times to warn him that Adam knew about the two of them. What if Adam did this due to feeling used or played?
I had to edit this so many times. I’m so sorry. Hope you understand it.
The recent Toronto stabbing may also have led to various updated hypotheses… Watch “Murder on the Orient Express” (again).
The Jason or Michael Meyers possibly Oj Simpson……..
All 3 drive white Hyundais…..
But the the Jason just traded in his white Hyundai for a black Hyundai 🤔
I think the murderer left in a car directly from the front door that was left open. That’s why there’s not much of a blood trail. If they left on foot to a nearby location, there would be a trail to where they possibly live. I don’t believe they were able to change clothes at the home. It seems it had to be quick and they would need to get out quickly. I think they entered through the front door and exited through that door. Perhaps left it open when entering so they could quickly leave after the murders without touching it.
they got nothing they are failing the families and the vics, but in the mean time Jan6th is so important
I believe them girls know more than what they saying ,that’s why no arrest have been made it’s no way people would leave them alive such a brutal killing no they had something to do with it.the knife is hidden buried near the house somewhere .they know who did it they did and murder weapon 🔪 destroyex
This is absolutely heartbreaking. I have zero confidence in this police dept. Apparently you can get away with multiple murders in ID. They need an experienced team on this. This town doesn’t have harcore crime. They dont know what they are doing. Failing on so many levels here. Terrible.
Have you looked at Publicly Buzzed. Maddy Morgen and Hanna Cleary were roommates in feb 2022
My god her brother said he was get revenge. Is the food truck guy related to Hanna Cleary. The commit section is full of hate for Mattie Morgen. Talking about spitting on Mattie grave. Check it out
Is the food guy related to Hanna. Omg 😳
La,la-la la,…….
Life is short Jesus is coming back soon be really good news Jesus saves us
Isn’t it odd there’s no photos or video of the bodies being removed??
Check the white crew cab out when she says what she told Adam ???? It’s going slow like he’s checking them out
I wonder how the media decides which unsolved murders to glorify. I mean…tens of thousands of murders are not solved yearly. Really curious why certain ones are picked out and focused on. Race thing maybe? Cuz these are a group of white kids? Idk
That takes a certain kind of cold blooded killer for that a very determined one.
Daniel Marsh – this is the kind of killer that did it.
