(NewsNation) – A HVAC technician was reportedly at the scene at the University of Idaho, and some are speculating that the technician could help with the investigation.
Veteran investigator Mike King, who hosts the Profiling Evil podcast, told NewsNation’s Banfield on Wednesday that people should wait with speculation until more information is released.
“You’re getting pretty close to the apparent end. Could it be that they are beginning to look into disaster recovery? Or maybe the heater has failed?” said King.

King, who was the head of a cold case division, says he doesn’t think the Idaho case “is remotely cold in any way.” King anticipates the students will receive more information through interviews after they return from the Thanksgiving holiday.
“That means you have to treat it like an unsolved case and start committing all available resources to support it. And this department has done a pretty impressive job of mobilizing state and federal resources to support it. “It doesn’t seem like there are any real egos standing in the way of trying to find out the truth,” King said.
On Wednesday, police said they needed help locating a white Hyundai Elantra (model year 2011-2013) that was seen near the University of Idaho crime scene.
