Kaylee Goncalves, an Idaho woman who was murdered, had a sister who was devastated to realise that her sister was being “watched by true evil.”
Following the publication of a shocking affidavit that describes the alleged conduct of key murder suspect Bryan Kohberger, Alivea Goncalves ended her silence.
Recounting the months before the shocking University of Idaho slashing deaths, Alivea commented on the true normalcy of her conversations with killed sister Kaylee.
“I think that’s been the hardest part of this,” she told NewsNation.
“Is to sit back and look at the totality of it.
“When my sister was Facetiming me about a new egg bites recipe, he was planning his next visit to the home.”
The stabbing deaths of couples Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, both 20, and students Kaylee and Madison Mogen, all 21, led to Kohberger’s arrest and subsequent accusation.
Officer Brett Payne revealed the chilling knowledge that Kohberger, a PhD student at a university around 10 miles away, was no stranger to the house of horrors where the victims were found in the arrest affidavit provided by Moscow police.
Prior to the deaths, Payne searched Kohberger’s phone using AT&T phone records.
According to the affidavit, the judge approved phone records going back to June 2022.
According to phone records, the suspect allegedly went to the home where the killings took place at least 12 times between June and November.
“All of these occasions, except for one, occurred in the late evening and early morning hours of their respective days,” the affidavit states.
Alivea, who chatted with her sister almost every day, said she’s referenced the dates provided by police, and recounted the conversations the two had.
“It’s really difficult not to wish that you had done more, wish that you had known more,” she said.
“The August 21st date – I can go back and remember the conversation that I had with Kaylee that day and how normal everything was.
“I had no idea that true evil was genuinely watching them.”
