MOSCOW, Idaho – The FBI has assigned additional personell to investigate the unsolved, Nov. 13 murders of four University of Idaho students, according to local police.

On Dec. 15, the last time police issued a press release, there were 46 FBI personell and two BAU analysts assigned to the case.
"We have had right around 10,000 tips come in. We're reviewing all those tips. We're checking to ensure we have individuals to look at all of those tips, and any piece of evidence they can link to this case, they're doing so," MPD Chief James Fry said in a Monday video.
