BOISE, Idaho — The public still wants answers in the quadruple homicide that left four University of Idaho students dead — but experts say evidence in a complex homicide case will take time to process.
Authorities in Moscow still haven’t been able to identify a suspect or locate the weapon in the stabbings, though investigators say they have taken 113 pieces of physical evidence to the Idaho State Police crime lab, taken roughly 4,000 crime scene photos and three-dimensional scans of the off-campus home, and received over 1,000 pieces of digital media and 5,000 tips from the public.
Idaho State Police Forensic Services Director Matthew Gamette told the Idaho Statesman by phone that investigations take time.
“I certainly can’t share case-specific information,” Gamette said. “I can tell you that our scientists are working very hard.”
