The investigation into the murders of four University of Idaho students is entering a critical stage in its third week.
The Moscow, Idaho police chief spoke about the murders of four college students with ABC News' Kayna Whitworth in his first sit-down interview.
"Police having no suspects is factually incorrect," Miller said. "Police have had a number of suspects they've looked at, but they have no suspect they're willing to name. You don't name them unless you have a purpose for that. That's not unusual." "The FBI brings a lot to this, as well as experience in a range of cases that would be beyond what a small town typically would have," Miller said.Every homicide investigation begins with the scene of the crime, which allows investigators only one chance to record and collect forensic evidence for processing, which includes toxicology reports on the victims, hair, fibers, blood and DNA, law enforcement experts say.
Lab results from the scene can be returned to investigators fairly quickly, but in this case investigators are dealing with mixtures of DNA, which can take longer, he says. "When you do an extensive video canvass, you may get a picture of a person, a shadowy figure, and then if you have a sense of direction, you can string your way down all the other cameras in that direction to see if that image reappears," Miller said., which collects and analyzes information about violent crimes in the United States.
"It's highly unlikely, although not impossible, that a first-time offender is going to come prepared with a tactical knife and murder multiple people, even in the face of resistance, and that this is going to be their first encounter with violent crime or the use of a knife," Miller said.One aspect of a homicide investigation is to "keep the media happy," according to Giacalone.
