Idaho murders: FBI and police using digital data to dispel ‘rumors’ online

.

Fox Nation host Nancy Grace shared on Sunday that Moscow, Idaho, police, in partnership with the FBI, are using “digital data” to debunk “rumors” amid the overwhelming amount of tips given in the investigation into the murders of four University of Idaho students last month.

“I do admire something that the FBI has done in conjunction with Moscow police,” Grace told host Lisa Boothe. “They have established a tip line, but they have also established a website where you can download digital data.“

The Crime Stories host laid out the types of “digital data” that could be used as tips in police’s investigations.

“It can be a Ring doorbell. It can be video from your car, your cellphone, anything where you specifically download digital data,” Grace said. “That combined with a tip line is very, very significant.”

Grace speculated that the “digital data” aspect of the investigation could also include weather cameras, red light cameras, and any related cameras to help in their search.

“I think that’s what they are doing right now in addition to debunking a lot of rumors online,” the former prosecutor said.

Last week, police revealed they were searching for a white sedan near the crime scene at the time of the killings last month.

Grace said the white sedan is “very significant” because “it’s the first real thing, first detail about their search. Canadian border patrol is on the alert for that car.”

She also noted that police’s work with the FBI could help give them the “ability to pair cellphone data in that area” during the time of the murders, saying, “If they could pair cellphone data from a data dump and see cellphone data moving at that time, it would be extremely helpful.”

Law enforcement authorities have not named any suspects or made any arrests in the case since Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; and Madison Mogen, 21, were stabbed to death in their home between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13.

“It’s not unusual to be four weeks into a murder case and still not know the killer,” Grace told Boothe. “It’s very often. I’ve worked on cases up to a year, especially multivictim homicide cases.”
