'I am doomed without them': Kaylee Goncalves' dad says law enforcement haven't contacted him for the past 4 days
MOSCOW, IDAHO: Slain University of Idaho student Kaylee Goncalves’ father reportedly said that it had been four days since law enforcement officials had given him any update regarding the murders of his daughter and three other students, on Saturday, November 26.
According to Fox News, Steve said, "Law enforcement told me that they were going to drop off a little bit and not to expect the same type of communication that I had gotten before." He revealed that the last time they spoke to him was at 5 pm on Wednesday, November 23. He said, "They're kind of just telling me that they can't tell me much, which is frustrating to me because I've been very trustworthy. I do know things, I haven't shared things."

Steve refused to blame law enforcement and called them "hardworking individuals" and that he would be "doomed" without them when asked whether he had any fresh information or perspective on the matter. He admitted that some private investigators contacted him and revealed some information about the possible target of the suspect(s) but he added that he viewed their messages with a "grain of salt" and tried to be cautious.
At the end of the interview, Steve decried the Defund the Police movement, calling it a "terrible idea" and an "absolute atrocity." "The fact that we're finding out that there's more than just my daughter and these children that have suffered, it's terrible to think that we can defund these guys,” he remarked. The heartbroken father also requested anyone who might have any information to come forward and share information with the authorities. He added that his whole family was patiently waiting. “It's hard for me to give up as a father,” he said.
Earlier, Idaho State Police's Communications Director Aaron Snell told TMZ that his team was reviewing footage that may contain clues. He said, "What we need people to recognize is that oftentimes what's not in the video might help us just as much as what is. We can really create that whole picture based on what is there, what isn't there, and be able to follow that through."
