Bryan Kohberger’s brutal acts haunt the families of his four victims, particularly the Goncalves family, as shocking forensic reports are released without notice. Steve Goncalves, father of victim Kaylee Goncalves, voiced his frustration over learning grim details from the media instead of from law enforcement or state authorities. He expressed disbelief that such sensitive information wasn’t prioritized for families, leaving them to grapple with the trauma through phones buzzing with notifications.
This latest revelation has prompted Goncalves and the families of the other victims to seek legislative changes to better protect families from experiencing such heart-wrenching lapses in communication. They aim for Idaho House Bill 1135 to ensure that personal tragedies don’t become fodder for the public. As they advocate for change, it raises an important question—should families have the right to know information about their loved ones’ tragic circumstances first, before it goes public?
