ABC News obtained new bodycam footage from that night, showing an unrelated police stop nearby at about 3 a.m., which is around the time authorities believe the murder took place.
Police stopping three people for an alcohol offense in a field near the victims' home and near the Sigma Chi fraternity where two of the victims - Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin - had been earlier that night.
All the people in the video have been cleared and the incident was not related to the murders, but analysts say the video could still be used in the case. "It can be used from a historical standpoint. That information could potentially become relevant later in the investigation, you just never know," Garrett said.
The victims' home remains an active crime scene. However, on Wednesday, investigators gathering items no longer needed in the investigation to give to the victims' families."We just went in to gather belongings so that the family can have some of that stuff, you know. We have a job to do. We're going to do it to the best of our ability and we owe this to the family. We owe this to the victims," said Chief James Fry, with the Moscow Police Department.
Police urge anyone with information to upload digital media to fbi.gov/moscowidaho or contact the tip line at [email protected] or 208-883-7180.
