University of Idaho murder victim tried escaping suspected killer Bryan Kohberger but was ‘trapped’

The heartbroken parents of one of the University of Idaho students killed in the quadruple stabbing at an off-campus house last fall claim their daughter tried to escape the attacker, but was trapped by the suspect and the layout of the bedroom where she died.

“There’s evidence to show that she awakened and tried to get out of that situation, [but] she was assaulted and stabbed,” Steve Goncalves told CBS News’ Peter Van Sant of his daughter, Kaylee Goncalves.

Kaylee, 21, was killed alongside her best friend, Madison “Maddie” Mogen, 21, housemate Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kernodle’s boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20, in the early hours of Nov. 13, 2022.

Kaylee and Maddie, who had known each other since childhood, were found dead beside each other in the latter’s bed, Kaylee’s mother, Kristi Goncalves, said in a preview of the upcoming “48 Hours” special, “The Night of the Idaho Murders.”

Maddie was likely the killer’s first victim, Steve explained, citing the coroner’s report.
