Idaho police investigating the murders of four students were alerted to a white Hyundai sighted in Oregon, 750 miles from where the slayings occurred last month.
Earlier this month, Moscow police said a white Hyundai Elantra had been identified near the crime scene and that the person in the car may have vital information.
Since then, there have been no credible leads, despite an influx of tips to the overwhelmed local police department.
Eugene, Oregon police alerted Idaho police about this Hyundai Elantra which is now being investigated for any connection to the murders in Moscow.
Both the front and rear license plates were torn from the vehicle in Eugene. It was reported to the police by a member of the public who complained that a man was sleeping in it. It is unclear where the man is now, or if he is a suspect.
However, on Tuesday, police in Eugene, Oregon alerted them to a damaged Hyundai Elantra.
A man was found sleeping inside when the vehicle was reported to Eugene police, but it is unclear where he is now or how long it has been since it was first called.
Now the Moscow police are investigating the vehicle.
The photos show that his license plate has been torn off and the front of the vehicle is severely damaged.
Neither the Eugene Police Department nor the Moscow Police Department were able to provide further details Tuesday, other than that both were working to investigate whether the vehicle could be related to the murder.
The car now sits outside a Panda Express in Eugene, 750 miles from the crime scene.
The owner of the car has not been identified and it is unclear how long it has been in Eugene.
On December 7, police broke the critical news that they were seeking to speak with the occupant or occupants of a white 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra that they said was in the “immediate area” of the victims’ home on December 13. November, when the murders occurred.
Police said they are investigating surveillance video from an Exxon Mobil gas station in Moscow showing the white car on the morning of November 13.
It is one of 22,000 white Hyundai Elantras in the US that the Moscow Police Department claims to have investigated.
Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle were stabbed to death in their sleep on November 13.
Police have yet to name any suspects, let alone make any arrests.
They have been widely criticized for the slow response and have tried to defend themselves, insisting that they are doing everything possible to protect the “integrity” of the investigation.
But today it emerged that the ‘lead investigator’ of the case has only been on the force for two years, and before that he served in the military.
A lawyer for the family of Kaylee Goncalves said last night during an appearance on NewsNation’s Banfield who requested background information on the officer, but was turned down.
Kaylee Goncalves, center, Maddie Mogen, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle were brutally murdered on November 13.
