MOSCOW, IDAHO: Steve Goncalves, the father of Kaylee Goncalves, one of the University of Idaho students who was killed while she slept in a off-campus rental house in Moscow, has said his daughter did not experience pain in her last moments and that he hasn't been able to grieve as they want to see justice happen first.

In a previous interview, he has already expressed his "frustration" with the investigation's absence of any fresh information as it enters its third week without a suspect. The police as per multiple reports have maintained the attack was "targeted." So far all those whom the four University of Idaho students spent their last moments with, including the man at the food truck, and the sorority driver who drove them home were ruled out as possible suspects, and also the ex-boyfriends, as per the Daily Mail.

"It was fast and nobody suffered and nobody felt like that kind of pain," Steve revealed on Tuesday, November 29 in an interview on Good Morning America. He added, "You can't imagine sending your girl to college and they come back home in an urn."

On being asked if it was presumed that the girls had passed out, he said, "I know the girls have reached out via texting and callings. So I can only assume by the phones being ignored knowing how my daughter is...not going to ignore calls and texting..." 

The murders as per investigators occurred between 3 am and 4 am and the first call to 911 was made around noon hours later after the murders were reported Steve was ignored by the families on the campus about her daughter's death. He thought, "let us call Maddy," Kaylee's lifelong friend Madison Mogen, "then you realize Maddy is gone too."

Frustrated over the lack of evidence about the suspect in the case, Steve said, "I haven't earned the ability to grieve the way that I want to grieve." "I want to be able to just have justice first," he added, according to the report.

Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were murdered in the early hours of November 13 after they returned home. Records and reports suggest that killer went on a rampage stalking through three bedrooms with a combat-style knife which hasn't been found yet. Gonclaves and Mogen were killed on the third floor, while Chapin and Kernodle were killed in a bed on the second floor.
