Idaho murders: Police start removing victims' belongings from house
As police in Moscow, Idaho, continue their search for the suspect who killed four University of Idaho students, they're starting to remove some of the victims' personal belongings from the house where the gruesome crimes unfolded.
Belongings "no longer needed for the investigation" started to get collected Wednesday to be returned to victims' families, who've asked for some of the items, police said.

"It's time for us to get those things back that really mean something to those families, and hopefully help with some of their healing," Moscow Police Chief James Fry said Tuesday.
Police on Wednesday also said they are looking to speak to the occupant or occupants of a white 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra that was in the "immediate area" of the home the morning of the murders.
"Investigators believe the occupant(s) of this vehicle may have critical information to share regarding this case," police said.
It's been nearly one month since roommates Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle, as well as Kernodle's boyfriend Ethan Chapin, were stabbed to death in the girls' off-campus house in the early hours of Nov. 13.

No suspects have been identified.
Two surviving roommates -- who police said are not suspects -- were home at the time and likely slept through the attacks, according to authorities. They were on the ground floor while the four victims were on the second and third floors.
