MOSCOW, IDAHO: Many people have argued that the prime target in the Idaho quadruple murders was Kaylee Goncalves and that Maddie Mogen, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle were collateral damage. However, there's a good amount of people who believe otherwise. The Internet is convinced that Kaylee was not the target simply because she didn't live in the three-story Idaho home the night she was brutally killed along with three others. She had moved out.
The 21-year-old Idaho victim had moved out of the off-campus house and only returned to show her new Range Rover to her friends. Hence, finding herself in the house at the worse time possible. Her parents have previously told Dateline that she was set to graduate early and move to Texas for an IT job opportunity. Kaylee mainly had plans to meet her best friend Maddie and attend a party nearby. The two were found slain in the same bed on November 13. The man behind the crime is suspected to be Bryan Kohberger. Now, one Redditor is arguing that Kaylee was, in fact, never a target. The post reads, "Bryan had been stalking the home, about 12 times prior to the tragic event. I'm not sure about when Kaylee officially left, but we know she was only back for that night and the killer probably did not KNOW she was specifically coming back in town that night. I don't believe Kaylee was the target at all... "

The Redditor continues writing, "why would he have been stalking the home and what not without her being there anymore. Even if he had just seen her out that night and something happened, it would not explain all the other previous cell ping trackings to that home prior. BK was not there for Kaylee !!!" Many people agree with this point, especially after Kaylee's parents also clarified that she had gone there to only meet with her friends.
Internet blames 'media presence' for showing Kaylee as prime target
One user said, "I agree. If I had to guess I’d say he went there that night for Maddie, did not expect kaylee, and then ran into the other two on the way out. I think not expecting kaylee is part of why he screwed up and left the sheath. In my opinion this was frenzied and he went there that night to SA or possibly kill one person and the rest got out of hand. It makes the most sense if it’s Maddie." Another user wrote, "Yea I think the media presence of her family has put that in peoples minds but i think maybe MM was the target… he knew right where he was going in that house it seems." One user said, "In the immediate aftermath, everyone seemed to think it was MM. Then, the focus shifted to KG I think in part to her family’s media presence. I tend to think the initial reaction might be correct."
One user wrote, "This was my initial thought too, maybe M was the target, maybe a connection with Mad Greek, etc. However, why were K's wounds distinctly worse than all the other 3, even with M right next to K? I'm just going off what K's dad said what the coroner told him. Agree though, K had moved out so I definitely see your point." Another user said, "My thoughts too... MM was the target imo. KG had only moved in over the summer to spend her last semester there and MM was already living there." One more user wrote, "I do agree that I’m not sure Kaylee was actually the target. Her family just became the face and so vocal.. people ran with it."
