IDAHO, MOSCOW: Authorities are yet to name a suspect in the brutal murders of University of Idaho students Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21. The four friends were killed between 3 and 4 am on November 13. According to the police, the victims were stabbed numerous times; an autopsy by the Latah County Coroner revealed that some of the wounds were defensive.

Steve Goncalves, Kaylee's father, said the only consolation he can find is that his daughter died in the same bed as Maddie Mogen, her best friend for the past decade. Apparently, he has shared many such details that have not been revealed by police.

In an interview with 'Wake Up America', former FBI agent Jonathan Gilliam highlighted the conflicting statements Steve has made in front of the media. Gilliam said, "He says conflicting things constantly, and he says things that are very odd over and over again." He added, "Yeah, this individual is bothering me - and many people - very much, and at the very least, he is causing law enforcement more problems, I think, than anything else."

Gilliam later added, "Mr Goncalves, he continues to push out there details about this crime that nobody really knows about. We do know that people were killed on the second and third floors. I personally have never heard any reports where they were saying that there were different types of attacks and ferocity amongst the different victims. The only person that's said that is this same individual [Steve]."

Recently, Steve Goncalves told Fox News that he had lost faith in the police investigation into his daughter's killing, citing poor communication and a lack of progress in the case. Authorities have asked students to report anything out of the usual that could aid their investigation.
