Three weeks after the murder of four University of Idaho students in Moscow, Idaho, the police investigation does not seem to be making much progress. Authorities are still without a suspect and, for the moment, continue to have no leads. One of the latest tips was a red Ford Mustang parked near the crime scene. However, Moscow police say that the car, parked less than a mile from the King Road home, had nothing to do with the crime.

Police also denied any connection between this case and another death that took place in February of this year on Baker Street, a few miles from King Road. Their investigation concluded that the person involved died from an overdose and, therefore, ruled out any relation to the Moscow case.
The police continue to discard leads received on the page set up by the FBI for this case. They have had to review more than 1,000 tips and almost 500 audiovisual materials, although they are grateful for the cooperation of the public. As the Moscow Police Department explained in a statement, "Your information, whether you believe it is significant or not, might be a piece of the puzzle to help investigators solve these murders."
In fact, Idaho State Police Communications Director Aaron Snell told Fox News Digital that the investigation is moving forward. "It’s not progress we’re able to update the public on but, as we receive more evidence and more videos, we’re able to put together a clearer picture of what occurred and that definitely is progress," he said.
Students return to class
With the case unsolved, University of Idaho students returned to class Monday despite fear of potential new attacks. As Hayden Rich, one of the students, told CNN: "It definitely feels a little bit different. It's kind of a different vibe. It seems kind of a sad setting. It is kind of quiet."
Another student, Ava Forsyth, told the network that her roommate decided to stay home because she did not feel safe. She, on the other hand, stated that she feels "moderately" safe, although "not so much" when it gets dark and she is alone.
The University of Idaho, aware of the fear of many of its students, announced on its Instagram account that they would be increasing security measures on campus starting Monday. In addition, they offered students the option of taking the classes remotely:
