seems very normal family, two sisters that are therapists, mom actually posted about tragedy of uvalde and against guns and for mental health resources.
no info on dad
fellow phd student said maybe he seemed socially awkward but nothing stood out.

Where are you seeing this? [b]God his poor family.[/b]

+1 Yes. No privacy any longer. Their work addresses and names are out there.

No, the poor families for those four victims. Could care less about his family and no I do not believe for one moment they did not know something was up with this freak show.

PP here. I agree that the parents likely knew something was amiss with him, but often families don't realize the degree of pathology.

There’s often not much families can do without the kid’s cooperation after 18.

Guessing they tracked his car. Got DNA from a used cup, ran it hit a hit.

PP here. Thanks. That would make sense, but one article indicated that they had his DNA prior to tracking him down. Didn't make sense.

DNA from the scene, then genealogy sites narrowed it down.

Here is a quote from the chief of police. This is why the FBI should take control of these news conferences

“We have an individual in custody that committed this horrible crime.”

I read this, too - and the fact of the missing word jumped out at me.

It might be because there are tens of thousands of white Hyundai Elantras coast to coast. That could be part of it.

PP here. If I knew my friend or son or brother was enrolled in school and lived approximately 10 miles away from the murder scene and also drove a white Hyundai Elantra, it would give me a reason to wonder. I might even think someone had borrowed or stolen it. You wouldn't?

"The University of Idaho has 90 white Hyundai Elantras registered to park at the school, vehicles similar to the one police are seeking in connection with the quadruple homicide just steps off campus, records show."

But not one that mysteriously dissapeared across the country with a grad student who did not return for the rest of Winter break. Kinda stands out, don't you think?

Huh?

Not literally disappeared. He drove the car across the country right after the killings and never went back. That obviously looks suspicious.

He finished out his classes for the semester and went home for winter break, like tens of thousands of other kids from the school.

And if my son had that same car that was being reported in the news, plus knowing he attended school 10 miles away from the murders, I would inform the police.

99% of the country had no idea that anyone was searching for a white Elantra. I popped in and out of this thread and the Reddit site and still missed that aspect.

"Detective, my son drives one of 600+ white Hyundai Elantras within in a 20-mile radius of Moscow, Idaho." "Ma'am, this is a Wendy's.".

You….really don’t understand policework if you don’t understand that that would be a major tip that would be followed up on immediately.

No it’s not. It’s noise that slows investigations down.

Clearly, you don't read the Daily Mail on a regular basis.

We have no way of knowing if a family member reported anything. It’s possible.

No one knows what tips were used to find this guy, or who called in those tips (so yes, it could have been family, but as someone mentioned - many people had no idea about the Elantra in the first place).

The NY Times has documented that he finished out the semester and went back to PA for the break to stay with his parents. A kid in one of his phd classes said that he became more talkative and animated in class AFTER the murders. It seems like he’s a psychopath who plotted the murders. If you see his survey on Reddit for criminals asking details about how they carried out, plotted, and felt about their crimes, it seems that the information he may have received helped him plan out these murders.

That said, currently the affidavit is sealed but even when that becomes public we will only have speculation until this either goes to trial or he takes a plea deal of some sort.

PP here. I agree and said that in a previous comment.

He is a phd student…probably needed to turn in papers instead of in class exams.

You have no idea what you are talking about, so just stop.

PP you are responding to…I actually have a phd in economics.

Well then you should know that many subjects (e.g., STEM) have tests in grad school, not mostly papers. Your world is not THE world.

Either way, UW's semester ended in December so there is no reason his assignments and classes would have ended in November.

They probably tried to focus on the fact that he was admitted to a grad program, so crossed their fingers that he was finding his way in the world.

What is a parent supposed to do about a child who is weird?

I don’t understand. What’s wrong with that?

They submitted the DNA they found to a research genealogist who tracked down a family member who led the authorities to him. Happens in a lot of cases these days.

They probably took comfort in the fact that he had been accepted into a graduate program. Hoping that this meant he was finding his way in the world.
