MOSCOW, IDAHO: The suspect arrested in the murders of the four University of Idaho students reportedly had connections with one of them. Bryan Kohberger, 28, was arrested on Friday, December 30, 2022, in Pennsylvania for allegedly murdering, Kaylee Gonvalves, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21 in their off-campus home on November 13, 2022.

Steve Goncalves, Kaylee’s father recently revealed he has started to notice links between his daughter and Kohberger, 28, according to ABC News. He also added that the family is yet not ready to discuss the connection as the police investigation continues. "Now that there's a person and a name that someone can specifically look for and see if there are any connections in any way. So they're just trying to figure it out," said the Goncalves family's attorney, Shanon Grey.

Idaho murders' suspect Bryan Kohberger 'shocked' by his arrest and will deny all charges, attorney says

The grieving father described Kohberger as a "broken soul, pitiful human being," and that he was "the little coward that had finally got caught running." Steve added that he is patiently waiting to see Kohberger when he appears in court next week. "This guy's gonna have to look me in my eyes multiple times, and I'm going to be looking for the truth. That's really what I'm going to be looking for," he said.

Steve, who once slammed the authorities for not bringing out the suspect, also praised the officials for tracking down his daughter's alleged murderer. "I want to commend those police officers in everything that they have done because it has been very difficult to work with all the media, especially me being so vocal," he told Fox News. "The investigation did everything they could to keep this away from the public, to keep the jury untainted, do everything by the book. And I believe they have done an amazing job of that,' Steve added.

The Goncalves family’s attorney previously revealed that Idaho police notified the victims' families on Thursday night, December 29, hours before informing the general public about Kohberger's arrest. "Well, we were contacted last night by Moscow PD, so they gave us a phone call, and then they gave us some more details this morning so we knew before everyone else did so that did a good job of contacting the family," Gray said, as reported by News Nation.

Kohberger was reportedly arrested from his parents' Poconos house, where the police also found the white Hyundai Elantra, which they had been searching for many weeks. The investigators currently believe Kohberger, a Washington State University graduate, was alone responsible for the heinous murders. He has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and felony burglary. He will be extradited to Idaho next week.
