This is just devastating to hear.
As we previously reported, some very gruesome details into Bryan Kohberger‘s murders were released to the public this week. Details of the stabbings each of the victims — Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, Maddie Mogen, and Ethan Chapin — all suffered, as well as gut-wrenching injury reports… It was a lot. And sadly, Kaylee’s dad Steve Goncalves says the families weren’t warned of the release.
While speaking to NewsNation, he said on Tuesday:
“We learned brand new things. Those details that were put in those docs were never given to us. They were given to strangers before they were given to us. It’s shocking that family doesn’t get any kind of priority, you know? Even a heads-up. We asked for discovery. They said they’d give it to us, but they never did.”
So sad… We can’t imagine!

Steve went on to explain how Bryan “pled four cases of murder or capital, all of them, and in the same breath, he waived his rights to even challenge it”:
“So, you know what? Why does this need to come out? You know, all these details? I mean, these are like mortician details. It has nothing to do with a case that’s never going to happen.”
He reiterated “we had no idea” the documents were going to be released to the public:
“We had no heads-up, none whatsoever. It goes to the media before it does us, and that’s awful. We just find out through, you know, our phone starts going off.”
The victims’ families aren’t letting this fly, though. Steve said they’re going to the government with their concerns:
“[We’re] going to talk to the governor and say, ‘Hey, we can do better than this.’ And you know, that means we have got to [make] laws. We can’t just let one person act like a judge and jury and make a [plea] deal and then, you know, we live it for the rest of our lives, and six months later, we’re finding out new details of, you know, the worst moments of our children’s lives. You know, it seems like a nightmare that this couldn’t be illegal, but we hope to make sure that it isn’t legal in Idaho in the future.”

Wow. Just horrible. We hope the victims’ families can continue to get the justice they deserve.
