The father of one of the University of Idaho students murdered in their home last month shared his theory about the murderer‘s target based on their movements once they got in the house.
Steven Goncalves, who is the father of the late Kaylee Goncalves, noted that the murderer’s entry point on the middle floor and only going upstairs leads him to believe it may have been intentional.
“I’m not a professional, so I want to specify that, but they’ve said the entry point was the slider or the window. It was the middle floor. So to me, he doesn’t have to go upstairs. His entry and exit are available without having to go upstairs or downstairs. Looks like he probably may have not gone downstairs. We don’t know that for sure, but he obviously went upstairs. So I’m using logic that he chose to go up there when he didn’t have to,” Goncalves said on Fox News’s Fox and Friends on Sunday.

Goncalves would not definitely say if he believes his daughter or any roommates were directly targeted in the attack. He also said he has confidence that law enforcement is doing all they can to solve the murders despite closely guarding details of the investigation.
Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Goncalves, 21, were slain in their beds in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13. The four roommates, who lived on the middle and upper floors, were all stabbed with a large knife in the chest and upper body, per local authorities.
The two surviving roommates who lived on the lower floor, Dylan Mortensen, 19, and Bethany Funke, 19, recently spoke out for the first time, saying how much they missed their roommates and detailed the difficult time they were having processing the murders they slept through.
