Kaylee Goncalves' sister describes what was like to face killer Bryan Kohberger: 'He is not human'

The sister of Kaylee Goncalves, who was murdered by Bryan Kohberger, has recounted the chilling moment she came eye-to-eye with her sibling's killer. Alivea Goncalves delivered a fiery and unwavering victim impact statement during Kohberger's sentencing in Boise, Idaho, on Wednesday, directly confronting the quadruple murderer and commanding him to 'sit up straight when I talk to you.' In an interview released Friday with NewsNation correspondent Brian Entin, Alivea recounted the moments leading up to her powerful courtroom statement, delivered in the harrowing presence of her sister's killer. She explained that no words could truly convey the reality of standing just feet from him - and the only way she could describe it was: 'He is not human.' 'When I tell you... there is not a human there,' she said during the interview. 'I'm not scared of this individual, I'm not intimidated by him - truly I'm not,' she added. 'But when I tell you there is... a primal sense of alarms. My body was telling me, "Run. Get out. This is a threat. This is not a human capacity."' Alivea has since been widely praised on social media for her powerful victim impact statement, where she spoke with unwavering confidence - directly confronting Kohberger and boldly calling out his failures. While speaking with Entin, she explained that although she initially felt confident in her words, once inside the courtroom, the overwhelming emotions made her fear that her statement might not fully do justice to the victims and their families. It wasn't until her father, Steve Goncalves - known for his outspoken presence since the murders - boldly turned the podium toward the defendant, despite warnings not to, that the atmosphere in the courtroom 'shifted.' As she sat in the pews, making last-minute tweaks and notes to her statement while listening to others deliver their emotional speeches, she steeled herself to deliver hers - determined to say everything she had been planning. 'My speech wasn't to Kaylee and Maddie - it was for them,' she said during the interview. 'If Kaylee and Maddie had been here today, it would have been something that I feel like would have rung true to them.' Her goal, she explained, was to hold eye contact with him for as long as she could - but as she stared into his eyes, every instinct in her told her she wasn't looking at a human being. 'The best description I can give you is, like, if I had come face-to-face with an alien,' she described. 'Because, back behind there, there's no human being - there's no humanity.' Alivea recalled seeing 'raw anger' and 'raw rage' in Kohberger's eyes as she confronted him, but despite the intensity, her focus remained steadfast - seeking justice for her sister Kaylee and Madison. 'I could feel that specific stare the entire time. It was unrelenting,' she explained. 'All I remember feeling is, "This guy's pissed,"' she added. 'This is anger I've never experienced firsthand before.' 'I was ready to stand on business. There was nothing that was going to make me back down from that moment. All I felt was rage, almost from the very beginning.' During Alivea's blistering impact statement on Wednesday, she said: 'I wont stand her and give you what you want. I wont give you tears instead. I will call you what you are: sociopath, psychopath, murderer.' 'The truth is you're basic. You're a textbook case as insecurity disguised as control. You spent months preparing and still all it took was my sister and a sheath,' she added. 'You're as dumb as they come. Stupid, dumb, weak, dirty', Alivea continued, before she then hit him with the very same questions that Kohberger posed in a survey on Reddit as part of his criminology degree at DeSales University. She went on to blast Kohberger's past and all his failings, including unanswered questions in the Idaho murder case. Alivea told Kohberger he was a 'delusional, pathetic, hypochondriadic loser' who 'thought you were so much better than everyone else.' In a damning conclusion, she added: 'If you hadn't attacked them in your sleep like a pedophile, Kaylee would have kicked your f****** ass.' The courtroom erupted in clapping at the end of Alivea's statement. Koberger remained emotionless throughout. 'My whole purpose of that speech was taking back this power and giving it back to Kaylee and Maddie. Xana and Ethan as well. I wanted to give them the hero moment that I truly feel like they deserve,' she told Entin regarding her statement. 'For me, it was about taking back that control from him… getting under his skin, as best as I psychologically could with my limited understanding of what he is,' she added. 'It was all genuine. It was all incredibly true. Everything I did say was accurate to who he is and who they were.' In the closing moments of her interview, filmed less than 24 hours after the sentencing, Alivea told Entin with conviction, 'I truly believe Kaylee would've kicked his ass.' Kohberger, a 30-year-old PhD candidate, declined to speak at the hearing as he was told he would spend the remainder of his life behind bars without parole.

Inside the Idaho prison where Bryan Kohberger is being housed

Kristi Goncalves stared down Bryan Kohberger, who violently murdered her 21-year-old daughter Kaylee, telling him at his sentencing, "May you continue to live your life in misery. You are officially the property of the state of Idaho." Now, the state of Idaho has sent Kohberger to the Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Kuna, the Idaho Department of Corrections confirmed to ABC News. The facility is about 20 minutes outside Boise, where Kohberger appeared in court Wednesday to be sentenced to four consecutive life sentences plus 10 years for the fatal stabbings of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. MORE: Idaho families slam Bryan Kohberger at emotional sentencing hearing: 'Hell will be waiting' This week, ABC News toured 30-year-old Kohberger's new home, which has the capacity to house 535 of some of the most dangerous and violent male offenders, including death row inmates. But officials said they find the 49 inmates currently serving life sentences to be the "easiest to manage -- because this is home, and will always be home." The tan, nondescript building has a double perimeter fence reinforced with razor wire and an electronic detection system. MORE: Idaho killings latest: Motive unknown but 'new information could come out,' former chief says All inmates abide by a regimented schedule that includes three meals a day (including vegan options), education programing, mentorships and recreation, officials said. However, "a typical day is not typical," officials said, explaining that days sometimes get derailed by disorderly behavior. Fruit is restricted because some inmates use it to brew alcohol, sometimes 5 gallons at time, officials said. Some inmates communicate with each other through the vents. A big request from inmates can be for a better or particular "vent-mate," officials said. MORE: Judge sentences Idaho killer to life, says motive may never be known The prison has multiple layers of housing operations, including "close custody" -- the most restrictive, where inmates spend 23 hours a day in a cell and are moved in restraints -- and "protective custody," for those who might be at risk if placed elsewhere. "Protective custody" is often at the request of the inmate, officials said. There's also mental health housing and long-term restrictive housing. The most restrictive common area has metal chairs and tables bolted to the floor with enclosures that look like cages for inmates to have video calls. Metal and cement enclosures are also scattered around the outdoor recreation area to be used as needed. Before Kohberger is placed, his needs will be assessed in a process that can take between seven and 14 days, officials said. Kohberger will be kept isolated for his safety and the safety of others during that time, officials said. Though Kohberger's case has concluded, a motive remains unknown. Moscow police said they don't know which victim was the specific target and have not found any link between Kohberger and the victims. MORE: 1st set of police records released in Idaho college murders, revealing gruesome new details "You're always wanting to get the families the why," but "sometimes they don't get to have the why," James Fry, who was the Moscow police chief at the time of the murders, told ABC News on Wednesday. But Fry says "new information could come out still." "There's always cases that, you know, 10 years later, somebody says something," he said. ABC News' Jenna Harrison contributed to this report.

Bryan Kohberger to face victims' families on Wednesday, July 23. Here's what to know.

Bryan Kohberger, the former criminology graduate student who pleaded guilty to charges of stabbing four Idaho college students to death in 2022, is expected to face his victims' families and be handed multiple life prison terms in a sentencing hearing on Wednesday, July 23. The hearing is set to begin at 9 a.m. Mountain Time at the Ada County Courthouse in Boise, Idaho. The court set aside a whole day for the hearing, which is also expected to include impact statements from the families and other loved ones of the victims, a process which could stretch the hearing into a second day depending on how many people speak. The public will be able to watch Kohberger's sentencing in person at the Ada County Courthouse and via livestream, according to the court's website. Discover WITNESS: Access our exclusive collection of true crime stories, podcasts, videos and more Kohberger's plea deal divided family members, with some supportive of the deal and others believing the case should have gone to trial. The plea was revealed at the end of June, just weeks before Kohberger's murder trial was set to begin in August. Who is Bryan Kohberger? Kohberger, 30, pleaded guilty on July 2 to the murders of Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, who were found stabbed to death in their rental home near the University of Idaho campus in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13, 2022. Kohberger's plea was part of a deal with prosecutors to avoid a possible death penalty, and will carry four consecutive life sentences for the murders plus 10 years for burglary. The murders rocked the town of Moscow, setting the community on edge as investigators searched for weeks for a suspect before finally arresting Kohberger on Dec. 30 in Pennsylvania where his family lives. Prosecutors said Kohberger was linked to the crimes using DNA evidence found on a knife sheath near one of the victims' bodies, along with cell phone data and surveillance footage of his car's movements. TIMELINE: University of Idaho murder case and the arrest of Bryan Kohberger Still a mystery is the motive for the murders. President Donald Trump this week called for the judge to require Kohberger to explain his actions at the sentencing, though the terms of his plea deal do not require that he provide a motive. Kohberger will be given the opportunity to speak during sentencing. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Bryan Kohberger sentencing: When it starts, how to watch Solve the daily Crossword

Kaylee Goncalves' Father Turns Podium to Face Bryan Kohberger in Court

Kaylee Goncalves' father looked Bryan Kohberger in the eye when he spoke to him ... turning his podium to stare directly at the man who killed his daughter before tearing into him. Steve Goncalves addressed the courtroom at the Ada County Courthouse in Boise, Idaho in a victim impact statement Wednesday ... one of many made by the family and friends of the four people Kohberger pled guilty to murdering earlier this month. While the speakers who went before Steve mostly stared ahead at the judge during their statements, Steve reconfigured the room ... turning the podium so he could look directly at BK. He told Kohberger he picked the wrong families to mess with, the wrong police department to challenge ... and, he was just wrong in general. Steve said that -- despite Kohberger's attempts to tear the community apart with his horrible crime -- he actually brought the community together ... ensuring cooperation between law enforcement agencies, families and people from all over the world against him. Goncalves called him "a complete joke" ... saying he was stupid to leave DNA evidence behind at the scene -- a dumb move for someone with a fancy degree. Kohberger got his master's in criminal justice in 2022 ... the same year he committed the quadruple murders. Goncalves says he hopes the media and the rest of the world will refer to Kohberger only as "BK" ... so the world can slowly forget his name -- until he's nothing more than a forgotten, unmarked grave. The entire Goncalves family brought a more combative energy to their statements. While previous victims spoke more about dealing with trauma and their profound sadness and loss, Kaylee's family roasted him repeatedly. Kaylee's sister Alivea Goncalves said Kohberger isn't a remarkable individual ... while her mom read a statement from another sister who cracked a joke about the kind of treatment Kohberger can expect in prison. Kohberger -- who pled guilty to murdering Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in their University of Idaho off-campus home in a controversial plea deal -- will be sentenced later in today's hearing.
