According to the owner, authorities received surveillance video from a building close to the scene of the killings of four University of Idaho students, and it showed a white car travelling around at the time of the crime.
Kane Francetich, who resides in Moscow, Idaho, barely 0.3 miles from the crime scene, claimed that detectives contacted him on November 14, a day after the four teenagers were savagely murdered in their beds.
Since the previous week, authorities have requested assistance from the public in locating the driver or drivers of a white Hyundai Elantra who may be connected to the incident.
A white automobile could be seen zooming past on the security camera installed on top of his six-unit rental building on Linda Lane. However, the video only included a side shot of the car.
If the vehicle was the same as the one the police have connected to the killings, it is yet unknown.
“I downloaded it and gave them access to everything from 2 am through noon on that Sunday the 13th,” Mr Francetich told Fox News.
He said the detectives told him they would run “their special analysis tools” on the footage to find the clues and described the car, which zoomed west on Taylor Road between 2.14am and 3.15am on 13 November, as both “white” and “light coloured”.
On a hill overlooking Taylor Road, the key thoroughfare that connects 1122 King Road to Highway 95—possibly the killer’s escape route—Mr. Francetich’s rental facility and its camera are located.
The property owner claimed that about 1.45 am, he also saw a car travelling west towards 1122 King Road and then returning to the highway a short time later. He suspected that this sedan was being driven by a “third party driver” who had dropped off two victims before to the killings.
In a news release on Thursday, Moscow police stated that detectives are looking through 22,000 registered Hyundai Elantras from 2011 to 2013 that match the description of a vehicle observed near 1122 King Road the night of the killings.Other video that was found by police in a gas station showed a white sedan travelling along Highway 8 at 3.45am on November 13th. The gas station worker, who wished to remain unnamed for security concerns, reported that the vehicle went by “very quickly” before turning off the highway and going down a side street.
