One former FBI detective said the vehicles towed from the Moscow, Idaho, home where four students were murdered were likely an 'afterthought' for investigators.
Idaho State Police Communications Director Aaron Snell told Fox News Digital the vehicles were being transported to"secure long-term storage" for"further evidence gathering." The vehicles were taken to a nearby maintenance shop owned by the city.UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO HOLDS VIGIL HONORING FOUR SLAIN COLLEGE STUDENTS: 'WE LOST FOUR BEAUTIFUL SOULS'
"I believe that all of those vehicles had previously been searched, and they're still part of the crime scene," Snell said."So as the possibility comes forward, there's additional evidence that we might be able to get and need that we will still have access to those vehicles.
A Range Rover believed to be Kaylee Goncalves' and several other cars of unknown ownership were towed from the scene of the quadruple homicide in Moscow, Idaho. "I think, and I’m assuming here based on my experiences, they had a briefing and getting the vehicles was something discussed based on what I said above. It was an afterthought because they ‘most likely’ have nothing to do with the crime or hold no forensic or investigative value," he said."Yet, someone was intelligent enough to say, ‘Hey, let’s take those vehicles, just in case.’ It’s smart and the correct decision.
"They will be looking for potential clues in those vehicles. Maybe a slip of paper with a number or name on it. Anything that would help point them in a direction," Mains said."They are towing them to their impound lot, so they can do a more thorough search where they can take their time and meticulously go through any possible evidence."
