A white Hyundai abandoned in Oregon was found by police to be unconnected to the University of Idaho quadruple murders.
The vehicle had the same description as a vehicle of interest tagged by police in the investigation, giving hope to some that the abandoned car in Oregon would uncover further clues. However, police in Idaho now believe it to be a dead end.

“The vehicle was involved in a collision and subsequently impounded. The vehicle is registered out of Colorado and the female owner is not believed to have any relation to any property in Moscow, Idaho or the ongoing murder investigations,” the Moscow Police Department said in a Tuesday update. “The public is asked to stop contacting the owner.”
Despite the update, police assured the public that they have assembled a massive team to investigate every individual tip sent in with due diligence, of which the number at this point exceeds 10,000, a police spokesman said, according to a video obtained by Fox News Digital.

The team will continue working throughout the holidays, a spokesman stressed. The FBI has assigned further personnel to help with the investigation.
