MOSCOW, IDAHO: Tragic University of Idaho student Kaylee Goncalves received an emotional tribute from her sister on Monday, November 28. This was more than a fortnight after the quadruple homicide near campus that shattered the victims' families and rocked the small college town of Moscow.
Kaylee, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death on November 13 in a rental home just yards from the university campus. Police are yet to identify a suspect in the grisly murders. Autumn Goncalves, Kaylee's sister, posted a playful video of herself, her late sister, and another woman making goofy faces as Coldplay's 'The Scientist' played in the background.

Kaylee from Rathdrum, Idaho, was looking forward to graduating early in December and had plans to move to Austin, Texas, where she had landed a marketing job. She was also set for an upcoming trip to Europe. As reported by Fox News, the 21-year-old was one of five siblings and her family has been notably vocal since the tragedy. Autumn's tribute was captioned, "I love you so much, sissy. I miss you more as the days go on." The music then fades out and the Instagram Story ends with a poem, 'How am I to live in a world where your heart no longer beats'. Autumn has since made her profile private.
Kaylee's father Steve Goncalves bemoaned over the weekend that the police had stopped updating the family about the investigation. "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," the devastated father said. "I do know things, I haven't shared things," he added The family paid tribute to Kaylee in a touching statement days after the tragic killings.
"One of the most painful experiences has to be to sum up an entire person in a paragraph," the family said. "Who they were and what they loved & what they wanted in life. Our sister can't be packaged up in a box with a neat bow," they added. The statement noted how Kaylee loved her puppy, Murphy, her family, and "the way mimosas looked but not really the taste." Being the middle child, the 21-year-old fiercely looked out for her family and "didn't hold back on love, fights, or life," her family wrote, adding, "She'd never stop fighting for us and demanding the truth and justice and neither will we."
