This father saw his daughter deceased. I would be very upset and nothing less than frustrated.
If this case resolve unsolved, Satan wins…
Revenge killing I believe what else
Oh I've seen detectives go back years later to a crime scene and find more evidence
If this ever goes to trial, and too many investigators have conflicting evidence, can that be cause for a mistrial?
You sue are an inconsiderate pos to have posted all the videos pertaining to ABSOLUTELY nothing! No updates and videos every hour for a month while there’s an active investigation? You have given this suspect a blueprint and we as responsible citizens do not appreciate ! Striking these videos snd hope the FBI charges you with obstruction
I'm feeling awful because I can just feel this case is going going GONE COLD.
My heart breaks for the parents. They are trying to help but they are actually hurting the case. I’m sure law enforcement wants this solved as well. It takes time to solve a case like this.
The boyfriend is the killer duh! He finds out his girlfriend betrayed him and was sleeping with that another girl, and bam he goes nuts! The dead gf was calling him over and over that night to tease him. He had a key to the house and knew everyone's habits at the house. The Idaho cops are just milking the overtime pay duh duh duh. That's the real unsolved crime here! I will bet my house on this. In science we call this kind of reaction 'feedback'.
We just have to pray that GOD is gonna help find this person that killed those innocent kid’s we need to be patient’s n that they will get justices this person or person’s is not gonna get away with those murders trust in GOD that he will expose this killer
I think the roommates know more … and the police cleared them on day 1 I believe I'm not saying they did it but they know more!!!!
I agree the officers let to many ppl go instead of making ppl in question and that were there take a DNA test!
I wonder if this case will take along time to solve I pray that the parents get Justice soon I no from watching alot of crime shows sometimes it takes weeka sometimes months sometime years
The Idaho police, FBI & State "investigators" are grossly incompetent and causing ALL the families and entire town uneccesarry fear hurt and anguish. They need to be removed and replaced immediately.
The guy they arrested on King Street and last name starts with a L was arrested for attacking his wife I believe is the killer matches my dowsing Info also about 43 years of age that him
These parents need to know that they just cannot have full access to the information that has been gathered by LE. It would ultimately ruin the whole case to be prosecuted! Believe me LE has not ruled anyone out, even if they say someone has been “cleared” Everyone will continue to be looked at & considered a person of interest or suspect until the Actual person responsible is caught. Now as a parent I totally get how these parents are feeling, with that being said I think LE should have a specific officer assigned as a parent liaison that calls these parents every single day and keep them apprised of what is going on each day, where they are at & so forth without giving out pertinent info that will hurt the case. These parents just want to be heard & feel like something is being done for their children. So LE step up & do this so the parents feel like they are being heard & feel like they are a part of this being solved & so that nothing else gets in the way of finding this killer! We all need to be patient and let them do their jobs! We don’t need to know everything that’s just the way it has to be. Wait until he’s caught & is in court then we will all find out the answers we want.
Let police do their job! These parents are complicating the investigation.
The police need facts to stay private to weed out suspects.
Everyone should have been interrogated separately before believing they had nothing to do with the crimes. This was a very disturbing case and this individuals need to be brought back and request D.N.A swab test period!
Who's jacket was she wearing in the food truck video?
I think private detective, now, early, is a good thing so it doesn't become a Jon Benet case! Toooo many people were at the crime scene Before the police even got there.
Praying this won't become another Jon Benet case !
I can completely understand how frustrating this must be for the families, they’re living every parents nightmare. I also understand that this is a very unique situation and must be hard for the police too. 4 different people, 4 sets of social circles to sift through. It sounded like an active house and community with so many people coming and going, and that’s just assuming it’s someone they knew well. Add in the possibility of it being a random attack, and the fact the scene had been contaminated before they even got there, and the number of hours that passed before they were found and reported to police etc, I can definitely understand why it is taking them a while. They can’t say too much while everything is up in the air. I don’t blame the families for wanting to hire private investigators though, this waiting and not knowing must be torture.
It's not going to bring there children back if they sue. So why bother.
If police release information to the families and someone goes public with it then it can compromise the investigation and harm the case. Surely if the families want the killer caught they should understand how crime investigations work. Clearing someone doesn’t mean they’re completely freed of suspicion, they can be re interviewed at any point in the future – how don’t people understand that? Police may even suspect a certain person BUT they can’t make an arrest without enough evidence against them or they’ll have to let them go and they may flee. Have patience people of the US and trust in your detectives if you want this case solved.
Has anyone talked to the owner of the house that was leased, I haven't heard about the owner and their response on this horrible tragedy
The two who survived it did it. Come on guys. This is easy to solve.
That is a lot of tips to go through.
Maybe law enforcement should just turn this case over to the parents. Let them see first hand how complicated it is to investigate the murder of not just one, but 4 young people who have all kinds of friends, aquaintances, strangers, etc that they come into contact with daily. The parents have no expertise in solving murders or in law enforcement. Who are they to criticize? They arent showing any appreciation or respect to the people working on this case. Do they really think that's going to help?
The parents are going to mess up the investigation
The parents better be very careful. The more information the killer knows, the worse goes the investigation.
Something strange about the girls dog being downstairs with the surviving roommates and not with the owning girl who was one that was murdered.Seems like she would have wanted him with her and he would have in my mind wanted to be with her when she came home.Dies not make since.
This is really out there speculation but maybe they cleared people because they had hard evidence that they were not involved. Just wild speculation. Probably not possible in real life.
I'd hire anybody possible to help put this piece of trash behind bars.
This are the types of homicides that go unsolved for years
Could haven anyone's daughter. I feel so sad for these parents and siblings. Soooo sad. I'm so sorry for all of you. Beautiful children
Parents should never have to bury their babies, my babies at the age of 100 will still be my babies. My heart just aches for all these parents the girls were all so beautiful ❤️ and Ethan was a very handsome young man. They were good kids just college kids. I have been there I get partying and having fun, college years are supposed to be the best days and years of your life and like daddy Steve said he sent his babygirl to college and she was sent back in a box 💔😭 absolutely gut wrenching.
Who ended up with the dog ?
I could never even begin to imagine how these parents must feel right now, but if they’re not being told things, it’s for a reason. Look at the Delphi murders, those parents were told absolutely nothing for 5 years, they were given the same information that the public was given. Now that they found the man, those parents are fighting for a gag order and would prefer nothing else be released, because they said they don’t want anything to jeopardize the case, even if that means they will also get no information.
I’ve never seen or heard of LE gathering evidence from the scene almost a month afterwards!!!! Something doesn’t seem right period!!!!
That police chief REALLY needs to take some public speaking courses so he can see what he looks like when he speaks to the media. He has this twisted little smile which is TOTALLY inappropriate and off-putting, no matter how unintentional it might be. Just horrible.
Glad the parents are doing things to find the killer. The PI is definitely a plus for them.
I feel for the parents but man…I worry more for all the people that live there. There's a psycho or more free to do it again.
I find it so odd that I would never have heard of these great people, and I seriously want justice for the families. I’m the mother of 5 daughters and fear for my girl’s every single day. Welcome to parenthood! I want justice for these families and they find who did this massacre on these gorgeous young adults.
Any DNA left behind??
If so, authorities know that a genetic genealogist is what they need to track down the brutal killer(s)!!
The police body cam video is at 256 am but the 911 call didn't come in till 3.01 am
.how were they on scene 6 mins before that call came in
These parents need to chill and let the authorities do their job. I understand the frustration because murder has touched my life twice and the system is laboriously slow, but I know all about building an airtight case. This case is just heartbreaking.
