Bryan Kohberger victim had marks around her mouth: Father
(NewsNation) — The father of University of Idaho student Kaylee Goncalves says a coroner told him his daughter had 'damage' around her mouth, as if killer Bryan Kohberger sought to muffle or gag her as he fatally stabbed his victim. Steve Goncalves shared that information Thursday with Ashleigh Banfield on her podcast 'Drop Dead Serious' as he talked about next week's sentencing of Kohberger, who has pleaded guilty to the murders of Kaylee Goncalves and three of her friends in November 2022 at a Moscow, Idaho, rental home. The elder Goncalves said Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt shared the details about his daughter's final moments. Was Bryan Kohberger inspired by 'incel' killer Elliot Rodger? 'There was some damage around her mouth,' Goncalves said, wedging his hand in his mouth to demonstrate, 'like somebody had pressed in and tried to keep her quiet.' The father expressed frustration at the lack of information that has been publicly available about the case since Kohberger, a criminology graduate student at Washington State University, was taken into custody in late 2022. The judge overseeing the case lifted a sweeping gag order Thursday, but Goncalves said family members still lack a complete picture about what happened to Kaylee, who was 21, as they try to prepare victim-impact statements. Kohberger, 30, is scheduled to be sentenced to life in prison Wednesday under the terms of a plea agreement that spares him the death penalty. Here's the evidence Idaho prosecutors had against Bryan Kohberger 'You only got one time to be able to be a victim's advocate and say what you need to say and to address the courtroom and everyone in Idaho, and they're not going to let us know exactly what happened,' Goncalves said. 'It's just terrible. … We want to make sure everything we say is exactly truthful.' Goncalves has said he opposes Kohberger's plea deal and would have preferred the defendant go to trial and face a potential death sentence if convicted. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
