• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the program. Today, we're going to dive
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: right back into some of the headlines from overnight and
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: see where everything stands as of this morning. And to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: do that, we're going to use The Independent once again
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: headline Idaho murders. Taxi driver who took victims home before
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: stabbings says final ride weighs on him. This article was
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: authored by Rachel Sharp, Andrea Blanco, and Low Dods. A
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: taxi driver who took two of the slain University of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Idaho's students home just hours before they were brutally stabbed
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to death, has said that final ride weighs on them.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: And in the previous episode, we went through the whole
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: interview with the cab driver, and it was pretty disturbing
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to think about how this dude must feel after dropping
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: these girls off and knowing that they were murdered. And
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you know, it's human nature to replay the moment in
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: your brain, right, Could I have done something different? Could
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I have made a difference here and help these girls out?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: But the reality is there's no way he would have
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: been able to know what was going to happen, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: it was just a regular night dropping some girls off.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: They were drunk and then I'm heading back out for
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: my next pickup. In this case, he went to Taco
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Bell and he had the receipts and stuff to back
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that up, so when he went to the police, they
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: were able to confirm his alibi and what he had
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to say. Speaking to The Daily Mail on condition of anonymity,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the driver said Kaylee Gonsalvez and Madison Mogan were excited
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to go home and enjoy the food that they had
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: purchased in the early morning hours of the thirteenth of November,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: before they were stabbed to death along with fellow roommate
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Xana Kernodle and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin. It's weighed on me.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I've replayed that night a million times over, trying to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: think if there was some sign or some detail that
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: something was amiss, but there was nothing, the driver told
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: The Mail. It's not lost on me that my job
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: was to get these girls home safe, but that didn't
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: really help this time. And no matter what, there's nothing
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: this person could have done to stop this. The driver,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: who has been cleared out as a suspect by police
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: in Moscow, said that he picked up the girls between
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: one forty and one forty five am on the night
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of the murders. According to Moscow police, Gonsalvas and Mogan
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: were dropped off at one fifty six am and were
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: killed sometime between three AM and four AM. Two other
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: roommates who were on the first floor of the house
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: are thought to have slept through the attack, making a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: nine to one one call about an unconscious individual around noon.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It has since been revealed that a white Hondai a
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Lantra was seen near the residents around the time. Investigators
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: are now sorting through twenty two thousand registered vehicles of
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the same model, saying the occupants of the mystery car
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: may have critical information about the stabbings. Sunday will mark
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the six week anniversary of the day when Gonsalves, Mogan,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Kernodle and Chapin were killed. And that's a pretty grim milestone, right.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: We already went through Thanksgiving without these kids being around
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: for their families and their loved ones. And now it's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Christmas and we've already heard from Kaylee's family, Kaylee's dad,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: how they're not celebrating Christmas, how it won't be the same,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And I can't even imagine how they must feel the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: whole that is left in their life. And for what.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: There's no rhyme or reason to something like this, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: whoever is responsible for it. Oh, I hope they pay.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I hope that when the train of karma and the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: train of justice finally catches up to them, it doesn't stop.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: It just rolls completely over them. Because anyone who can
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: cause this kind of pain and sadness, this kind of sorrow,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: certainly doesn't deserve to have their freedom. Moscow murder House
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: draws true crime fans, Now that's just weird. Right off
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the top. Are a bunch of LOOKI ludes really going
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: down to Moscow to take a look at this house
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and like google at it. Now. I get if you're
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: going down there as some kind of investigative journalist or
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: reporter or somebody who's putting together some content or something
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: like that, But going to one of these houses and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: just staring at it and looking at it, yo, that's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: some pretty weird behavior. This isn't a TV show, this
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: is not a movie. Real people lost their lives here.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It's not for your entertainment. And when people do stuff
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: like this, I just don't understand, Like, what would draw
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you to want to go and stare at a house.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: It's just like the Amityville horror House in New York.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I never understood the whole draw of people wanting to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: go and stare at a house where these brutal crimes
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: were committed. The house where the murders took place is
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: becoming somewhat of a tourist attraction for true crime fans.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: According to the Daily Mail, numerous visitors have stopped by
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the three story student home in Moscow, Idaho, hoping for
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a closer look. Yeah, because they're all going to crack
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the case, right, everyone's inspector, gadget over here. We're just
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: curious that a man to paget a woman who came
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to see the house with her daughter on the way
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: back to Washington State from Moscow. It's just more real
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to see it yourself. What does that even mean? I
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: don't get that it's more real. How much more real
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: does it have to get When we have four college
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: kids who are murdered in their beds. That's not real
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: enough for you. You have to go and get yourself
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a nice eye full. People are crazy, man, I'm telling
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you right now, people are really crazy. She added, my
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: daughter wanted to see it because she's in high school
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and she'll be in college now next year. But she
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: said she wouldn't want her daughter to live there. So
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: your daughter is going to be in college next year,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: so you wanted to show her a murder house in
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: some college town. What in the hell is wrong with people?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: The house's own owners have not commented on what will
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: happen to the house after the murder investigation fades, and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: have reportedly told neighbors not to speak to journalists, as
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: well as hiring a private security firm to guard the property.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine your neighbor coming over to you and saying, hey, look,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: don't speak to any journalists because there was a murder
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: in this house. I tell that mother effort right away.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You're dismissed. Keep it walking. I'll talk to whoever I want.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: My neighbor telling me not to talk to any journalists.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah right. Why are police seeking the occupants of the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: White hondae A Lantra. Last week, police announced that they
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: were looking for a mystery car in connection to the murders.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Moscow Police said that'll White twenty eleven through two thousand
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and thirteen hondai A Lantra with an unknown license plate
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: was seen near the crime scene around the time of
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the stabbings. Now, I've always wondered with unknown license plate,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: maybe there wasn't a license plate at all, And if
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: there wasn't, then that would certainly lend credence to the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: theory that this was a stolen vehicle. You would have
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to be straight up out of your mind and want
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to get caught if you used your own car to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: commit a crime like this. Now, could it be somebody's
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: car who was borrowed something like that? Maybe, But even there,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think that it's the most logical way to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: go about this. And it's starting to look like the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: person or persons who did this took some steps to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: try and make sure that they weren't caught a little
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: bit of premeditation here. So with how easy it is
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to steal Hondai a Lantras, it leads me to believe
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: anyway at least suspect that this vehicle was stolen. Investigators
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: urged the public to come forward with any information revealing
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that it might just be the missing piece of the puzzle.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Border agents along the US border with Canada have been
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: notified to be on the lookout for the car, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: tips have been pouring in from the public ever since,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: so much so that the calls are now being directed
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to a national FBI tip line. A local landlord has
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: now indicated that police may have been focusing on the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: mystery vehicle long before releasing the details to the public,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and that the lead may have come from footage he
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: handed over one day after the killings. Well that's how
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the police get all of their leads from the public,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: from businesses, from surveillance footage, and that's why having a
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: relationship with the public's a good idea. Now, of course,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about spirit box people. I'm not talking
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: about you know, the people who are going to solve
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the case from their living room in Maine. I'm talking
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: about people who have legitimate tips, people in the community.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Somebody out there knows a killer, and that's just a fact.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Who that person is, well that's the real question. But
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: there's no doubt that somebody out there knows this killer.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Kane Franitych told Fox News that investigators had reached out
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: asking for surveillance footage from a camera on his six
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: unit rental building on Linda Lane in Moscow, The property
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: is zero point three miles from the King Road address
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: where the killings took place. We also know, though, that
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: they didn't send an officer to the gas station to
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: collect that video. The attendant had to go through it
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: themselves and then contact Moscow police. The video captured a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: white or light colored car driving past at around the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: time of the murders. He said. The vehicle was traveling
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: west on Taylor Road sometime between two forty five am
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and three point fifteen am. He said. Taylor Road is
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the main street which connects the wh home on King
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Road to Highway ninety five. Moscow police have not revealed
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: whether or not this is the same vehicle they are
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: now searching for. I have no doubt that the authorities
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: knew about the white Alantra way before they released it
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to the public, and when they exhausted all of their leads,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: they knew that they had to turn to the public
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: to see if the public might have any idea where
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: this vehicle is at. Because with as much of a
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: deal as they've made about this Elantra, you would think that,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: like they said, it has some critical or crucial information
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: about what might have happened. The question is how are
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: you going to find the white Hondai a Lantra without
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: knowing the plate number, without having a VIN number, You're
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: literally looking for a needle in a haystack. Xaniker Noodles
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Scholarship Fund. Loved ones of one of the four Slane
• 10:53

  Speaker 1: right and the kids that are going to get this scholarship,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: they're gonna benefit from it. So it's certainly a good
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: way to memorialize a loved one, especially in a situation
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: like this. In a statement to The Independent On Friday,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Xana Kernodle's family said they've decided to start a memorial
