Father of University of Idaho murder victim talks 911 call, firing squad, Bryan Kohberger

Olympia, WALocal News

Recent court documents have shed light on the tragic murders of four University of Idaho students, including a crucial 911 call made shortly after the stabbings. Steve Goncalves, father of victim Kaylee Goncalves, expressed deep concern over the criticism directed at those who reported the incident, emphasizing their youth and the traumatic circumstances they faced. He stated, "We didn't lose one girl, we lost two," referring to both Kaylee and her friend Madison Mogen. Bryan Kohberger is charged with their murders and is facing the death penalty; his attorneys argue there are alternative suspects involved. Idaho's new legislation allows for execution by firing squad, intensifying the emotional stakes for the families involved.

Goncalves remains resolute in his belief that Kohberger is the right suspect, despite the defense's claims. He is dedicated to staying informed about the case and plans to attend the trial, supported by a GoFundMe for related expenses. As he copes with the loss of his daughter, he finds solace in knowing their last words to each other were "I love you.
