A RETIRED cop has detailed the moment he said he found a glove outside the Idaho house where four students were found stabbed to death.
Former homicide detective Chris McDonough confirmed he handed the accessory to police at the scene in Moscow in late November.
He said in a video posted to YouTube: “I actually found a glove… I pointed it out to the officer who was there securing the scene and they came and collected it.
“The officer that was there, obviously, they didn’t know about it because he came over and photographed it.
“They came out and got it.”
The single black glove was found close to the rental home where Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were all found dead on November 13.
It is understood to have been discovered within the crime scene tape around the house, Newsweek reports.
The glove has sparked a slew of theories online.
One internet sleuth called it “crazy.”
Another added: “I still can’t get over the fact that they disregarded that glove for several days. It’s probably nothing. But you can see it in other news footage & the drone video shot prior to this one.”
McDonough added: “Is this from the night? Is it random i.e. somebody missed the trash can and they were walking by.
“Is the suspect taunting the authorities by you know placing something like this hypothetically?”
It’s been a month since the four victims were found dead.
Autopsies determined the students were stabbed to death, the attack likely starting while they were sleeping.
Police later confirmed there were two more roommates who were at home during the crime but they have been ruled out as suspects.
Officers are yet to identify a motive or find the murder weapon.
Last week, they asked for help finding the occupant of a car that was seen near the students’ home, saying that person could have “critical information” about the case.
The Moscow Police Department asked for the public’s help tracking down the person or people inside a white Hyundai Elantra.
“Your information, whether you believe it is significant or not, might be the piece of the puzzle that helps investigators solve these murders,” the department wrote.
