Police dismissed further rumors Monday night related to the quadruple homicide of four college students in Moscow, Idaho, but the community is still searching for answers 15 days later as no suspects have been identified.
A red Mustang parked less than a mile from the scene of the murders is unrelated to the investigation, and reports that the vehicle was “processed” are inaccurate, Moscow police said.
Police deny that a red mustang was involved in the ongoing investigation into the University of Idaho murders.

A February 2022 death on Baker Street, which is about two miles from the residence, was due to an overdose and is also unrelated to the murder investigation.

Detectives have received more than 488 digital media submissions and more than 1,000 tips, but continue to appeal to the community to report “anything out of the ordinary.”
“There is definitely progress being made,” Idaho State Police communications director Aaron Snell told Fox News Digital. “It’s not progress that we can update the public on, but as we get more evidence and more video, we can put together a clearer picture of what happened and that’s definitely progress.”
