Idaho murders: Former FBI special agent explains why federal agency hasn't taken over investigation
Fox News
A former FBI special agent says the agency doesn't have the authority to take control of the investigation into the University of Idaho students' murders.
Former FBI Special Agent Jonathan Gilliam told Fox News Digital that the FBI can't assert control as the lead investigative agency because they don't have jurisdiction over the case. Adam Sabes is a writer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to Adam.Sabes@fox.com and on Twitter @asabes10.
"The FBI does not necessarily have jurisdiction in this case. That is the state case. And there's no federal nexis to this case at this point. There's no evidence that a killer went over state lines. There's no evidence that any abduction or anything with children was involved. You know, something that would rise to the level of the FBI taking over the case," Gilliam said.
