Kaylee Goncalves’ sister speaks on Bryan Kohberger | Banfield Full Episode 7/21​

 
  • #782
BK sentencing hearing, Jul 23, 2025:

Reporter Anthony Kuipers is in the courtroom, but I didn't make it inside. :( Hearing has just started.

I'll be watching along with you in the overflow room.

Kohberger is wearing orange jail garb. Bethany Funke's statement being read right now. "That was the worst day of my life, and I know it always will be." She received death threats and was hounded by the media. She feels sick with survivor's guilt.

Lives in fear, barely left her house for months. She has not slept through a single night since this happened. For a long time, I could barely get out of bed. Now she plans to live for her friends, according to Bethany's statement.

Dylan, the roommate who came face to face with Kohberger, is now about to speak. What happened that night changed everything, she said. Because of him, four beautiful people were taken for no reason.

What he did shattered me. I was barely 19 when he did this, Dylan said. I had to sleep in my mom's bed, I am terrified, have panic attacks, can't breathe, can't think, can't stop shaking. Emotional pain is too much to handle, she said. Kohberger appears to be paying attention.

He is a hollow vessel, he chose evil. He feels nothing. He tried to take everything from me. Living is how I honor my friends. He will never take my voice, Dylan said, or erase my memories of my friends.

Maddie's stepfather and mother's statement describes how much they loved their daughter. Many tears are being shed in the courtroom, and in the overflow room. "This world was a better place with her in it," Scott Laramie said.

Maddie was taken in an act of evil, Scott said. Our grief is compounded with the loss of her other three friends. This vast emotional wound will never fully heal, it's an endless void, he said.

We will grow old without our only child, her stepfather said. For Maddie, we will continue to love our family and friends. We support the plea agreement, Scott said. Evil does not deserve our time. We're done being victims, and we're taking back our lives.

Attorney is now reading a statement from Karen, Maddie's mother. Can't forgive him at this time, his acts were too heinous. For Maddie's sake, we will move on.

Maddie's grandma is describing the traumatic grief her family has experienced. The struggle with media attention was extremely difficult, especially for Ben. On May 25, we encourage folks to do random acts of kindness in Maddie's honor.

Ben Mogen, Maddie's father, said his only daughter was the only great thing he ever did. He's soft-spoken and reading a Father's Day from his girl. Ben said he had addiction issues and depression, and Maddie kept him alive. I just miss her so much, and love her so much, he said.

Steve Goncalves is facing Kohberger. Today we are here to finish what you started. You picked the wrong family, wrong state, wrong police, wrong community. You failed. Your actions united everyone in their disgust for you.

You left your DNA like a calling card. You're stupid. Master's degree? You're a complete joke. Steve is not holding back, and his statements are getting approval from the overflow room.

From this moment, we will forget you, Kaylee's dad said. He also thanked law enforcement for their efforts. Oldest daughter, Alivea Goncalves is now facing Kohberger.

She is speaking strongly, with confidence, and without fear. Alivea is articulate and painting a vivid picture of her anger toward Kohberger. I won't stand here and give you what you want. I won't give you tears and trembling. "Sociopath, psychopath, murderer, sit up straight…"

"If you were really smart, do you think you'd be here right now? Do you feel anything at all? Who are you? You didn't win, you exposed yourself as a coward." She is going right at him.

"Kaylee would've kicked your f**king 🤬🤬🤬," she said. Court room applause can be heard. (This impact statement will go viral, I predict.)

Kristi Goncalves, Kaylee's mother, is lobbing some insults, that are causing gasps. She is talking about how he's nothing and a loser. Your fellow inmates are anxiously awaiting your arrival. "But don't worry, we're here to help you," she said, quoting Kohberger.

Kaylee's family and friends are not holding back. One grandma said she wishes he'd die the same way he killed the four kids. I want you to be cast out, said another grandma. "You are evil, and in the end evil is eradicated.”

Prosecutor Bill Thompson said state reached out to all families after defense brought up plea agreement. We understand the difference of opinions among the families, he said. The state wanted him to plead guilty as charged, and defense agreed.

Photos of Maddie, Kaylee, Xana and Ethan are being shown in court as Thompson announces the sentences. Hopefully, now it's time to move forward. Can't undo the horror that occurred on Nov. 13, 2022, at 1122 King Road, he said.

Memories should be focused on innocent victims, Thompson said. "Idaho Four" photo now on screen as prosecutor chokes up.

Thompson said the door will close behind the defendant forever today, and Kohberger will die in prison. That's the closure that's needed, he said.

Kohberger declined to make a statement. Judge Steven Hippler said a faceless coward breached the tranquility of six innocent people and slaughtered them. Person who slithered through that door is in this court. No parent should have to bury their child, the judge said.

Hippler said he's listened intently with great awe at the courage of the victim's families and roommates. Parents, siblings and other family members should be known as survivors, fighters and witnesses.

We should no longer give Kohberger relevance by asking why. He should no longer have our attention. There is no reason for these crimes. No reason makes any sense, Hippler said. Time to end his 15 minutes of fame. Truly hope no one gives him the spotlight.

Hippler said he can't think of one good thing to say about Kohberger. He has not hinted at remorse or regret. He is forever removed from civilized society, Hippler said, and that's the best thing that can be said.

Judge is allowing families to be escorted out of courtroom. The prosecutor and law enforcement will be holding a press conference following the sentencing. The media can ask questions at that time.

Kaylee Goncalves’ sister: They 'were not yours to take'​

Kaylee’s sister, Alivea Goncalves, said to Bryan Kohberger, “My sister Kaylee and her best friend Maddie were not yours to take. They were not yours to study, to stalk or to silence.”

“They’re everything you could never be: loved, accepted, vibrant, accomplished, brave and powerful,” she said.

"They would've been kind to you. If you had approached them in their everyday lives, they would've given you directions, thanked you for the compliment. ... In a world that rejected you, they would've shown mercy," she said.

Goncalves said she "won't stand here and give you want you want": tears and trembling.

She called him a "sociopath, psychopath, murderer," before asking him a series of questions.

Her questions included, "Where is the murder weapon, the clothes you wore that night? What did you bring into the house with you? ... What were Kaylee's last words?"

"You didn't win. ... You're a delusional, pathetic, hypochondriac loser who thought you were so much smarter than everybody else," she said.

"You aren't special or deep, not mysterious or exceptional. Don't ever get it twisted again. No one is scared of you today. No one is intimidated by you, no one is impressed by you, no one thinks you are important," she said.

She concluded her statement by saying to Kohberger, if he hadn’t attacked them in their sleep, “Kaylee would’ve kicked your f------ 🤬🤬🤬."

Onlookers in the courtroom clapped when Goncalves stepped down.

Kaylee Goncalves’ father to Bryan Kohberger: ‘You’re a joke’​

Begins at mark 3:01:37

Hello. I'd like to start by thanking the court for allowing me the time and opportunity to speak today. My name is Alivea and I'm the big sister of Kaylee Gonzalez and I was blessed to love Madison Mogan as a sister, too. I'm not
here today to speak in grief. I'm here to speak in truth.
Because the truth is my sister Kaylee and her best friend Maddie were not yours to take.

They were not yours to study, to stalk, or to silence.

They were two pieces of a whole, the perfect yin and yang. They are everything that you could never be.
loved, accepted, vibrant, accomplished, brave, and powerful. Because the truth
about Kaylee and Maddie is they would have been kind to you.
If you had approached them in their everyday lives, they would
have given you directions, thanked you for the compliment, or awkwardly giggled to make your own words less
uncomfortable for you.

In a world that rejected you, they would have shown mercy.

Because the truth is, I'm angry.
Every day I'm angry. I'm left shouting at the inside of my own head everything
I wish I could say to you.

The truth about me is when I heard the news, I didn't cry. I listened for them. I promised them I would. That I would
fight for them. That I would show up no matter what it cost me.
I swore I'd never let them feel alone. Because you see, I've always been their
heavy weight. I've always been the one to fight the battles they didn't feel ready to fight themselves. All it ever
took was a call. And they knew I would handle it for them, no matter the time,
no matter the cost. They could wave their white flag because they knew I
would never back down. Not for them. And not even death could change that.

Somewhere along the line, I started to think about what I would say to them if I was given just one last chance.
If I could gather enough heartbreak or love or sacrifice or whatever it took to get just one message across.
What would I say?

Throughout this entire process,
I've written my feelings down at every moment. my my wishes, my love, my denial, my anger. And as one final act
of love, I'd planned to read these thoughts, even jarring and discombobulating and not even making
sense. Because for me, that was true love, as bare and as naked as it could
be. Not laced in pretty words or dressed for the occasion, but written through
blurry eyes at 2 a.m. with clenched fists, angry at this reality.

My true final act of love was to continue on without them for them.

That dream to read a love to read aloud my love to them to bring meaning through
pain was the latest blow in realizing you don't deserve it and Kaylee and Maddie don't need it.
Kaylee and Maddie have always known my love, and they would never ask me to prove it by further
victimizing myself to a defendant who has shown no guilt, no remorse, no
apprehension. They would say to me, "Why would you give the satisfaction of showing
vulnerability now? You promised you would never back down." And for that
clarity, I'm thankful.

I won't stand here and give you what you want. I won't offer you tears. I won't
offer you trembling. Disappointments like you thrive on pain, on fear, and on
the illusion of power. And I won't feed your beast.

Instead, I will call you what you are. Sociopath, psychopath,
murderer.

I will ask the questions that reverberate violently in my own head so
loudly that I can't think straight most any day. Some of these might be
familiar, so sit up straight when I talk to you.

How was your life right before you
murdered my sisters? Did you prepare for the crime before leaving your apartment?
Please detail what you were thinking and feeling at this time.
Why did you choose my sisters?
Before making your move, did you approach my sisters?
Detail what you were thinking and feeling before leaving their home.
Is there anything else you did?
How does it feel to know the only thing you failed more miserably at than being
a murderer is trying to be a rapper?
Did you recently start shaving or manually pulling out your eyebrows?
Why November 13th?
Did you truly think your Amazon purchase was untraceable because you used a gift card?
How do you find it enjoyable to stargaze with such a severe case of visual snow?
Where is the murder weapon?
The clothes you wore that night?
What did you bring into the house with you?
What was the second weapon you used on Kaylee?
What were Kaylee's last words?

Please describe in detail the level of anxiety you must have felt when you
heard the bearcat pull up to your family home on December 30th, 2022.
Which do you regret more?
returning to the crime scene 5 hours later or never ever going back to
Moscow, not even once after stalking them there for months.

If you were really smart, do you think you'd be here right now?

What's it like needing this much attention just to feel real?
You're terrified of being ordinary, aren't you?
Do you feel anything at all?
Or are you exactly what you always feared? Nothing.

If you're so powerful, then why are you still hiding, defendant?
You see, I'm here today as me.
But who are you?
Let's try to take off your mask and see.
You didn't create devastation.
You revealed it in it in yourself.
And that darkness you carry, that emptiness, you'll sit with it long after this is over.
That is your sentence.
And it was written on the wall long before you ever plead guilty.
You didn't win.
You just exposed yourself as the coward you are.

You're a delusional, pathetic, hypocchondric loser who thought you were so much smarter than everybody else.

constantly scolding, turning your nose up to grammar mistakes, nitpicking and criticizing others.
You wanted so badly to be different, to be special, to be better, to be deep, to be mysterious.

You found yourself thinking you were better than everyone else, and you thought you could figure out the human
psyche and see through it, all while tweaked out on heroin.
lurking in the shadows made you feel powerful because no one ever paid you any attention in the light.
You thought you were exceptional all because of a grade on a paper.
You thought you were elite because your online IQ test from 2010 told you so.

All of that effort just to seem important.
It's desperate.
There is a name for your condition, though. Your inflated ego just didn't allow you to see it. Wannabe.

You act like no one could ever understand your mind. But the truth is, you're basic.
You're a textbook case of insecurity disguised as control.
Your patterns are predictable. Your motives are shallow. You are not profound.
You're pathetic. You aren't special or deep, not mysterious or exceptional.
Don't ever get it twisted again.

No one is scared of you today. No one is intimidated by you. No one is impressed by you.

No one thinks that you are important. You orchestrated this like you thought you were God.
Now look at you begging a courtroom for scraps.
You spent months preparing and still all it took was my sister and a sheath.
You worked so hard to seem dangerous. But real control doesn't have to prove itself.

The truth is the scariest part about you is how painfully average you turned out
to be.

The truth is you're as dumb as they come. Stupid, clumsy, slow, sloppy, weak, dirty.
Let me be very clear.

Don't ever try to convince yourself you mattered just because someone finally said your name out loud.
I see through you.
You want the truth? Here's the one you'll hate the most.

If you hadn't attacked them in their sleep in the middle of the night like a pedophile, Kaylee would have kicked your f _ @ss. Thank you

Xana Kernodle’s sister Jazzmin to Bryan Kohberger: “I believe in a God whose justice is not bound by this courtroom. I find peace knowing that judgment ultimately belongs to Him. For your sake, I hope one day you feel the full weight of what you did. I hope you take accountability. I hope you truly experience the guilt and you surrender your soul to Jesus Christ because no punishment on this Earth can ever compare to the isolation and pain of eternal separation from God...I will live in her honor, fight to be the best kind of woman and someone she's proud of, to make sure the world never forgets who she was. Xana’s story doesn't end with what was taken from her. It lives through the love she gave, the people she touched, and the legacy her family will protect. Her light still shines and her voice will echo louder than this pain. You didn't take that from us and you never will.”

The chilling documents also included police interviews with friends and former inmates of Kohberger, including one maximum security prisoner who called him “a f–king weirdo.”

Another inmate who was housed next to the insidious slayer in Latah County Jail described odd habits that “annoyed” him — including washing his hands “dozens of times each day” and spending “45 minutes to an hour in the shower.”

Our next would be members from the Kaylee Goncalves family. Um, first will be her father, Steve
Goncalves.
Today we are here to finish what you started.
Today you've lost control.
Today we are here to prove to the world that you picked the wrong families,
wrong state, the wrong police officers, the wrong community.

You tried to break our community apart. You tried to plant fear. You tried to
divide us. You failed. Instead, your actions have united
everyone in their disgust for you.

I just learned from these lead investigators to their shock. They worked in an investigation and
actually in worked with Pennsylvania police officers and the federal FBI. You
united everyone. Everyone was united after you.
None of us are divided. We were united in our disgust
and our love for these children.

Today you have no name.

Because when this all started, we all came together and we said, "Let's stop even talking about his name and just use
initials." See, even the media just called you BK.
That's all you are.

Looking back when the police officers knocked on my door,
told me what happened to my child, told me what happened to Mattie May.
I don't think he was even out of the driveway before my kids turned around, looked at me, and said, "What do we do,
Dad?" I told him, "You get to work.
You get your 🤬🤬🤬 to work." And we started calling. We started texting. We started emailing. And you know what?
Within hours, within hours, we had your white car on a camera. We knew. We knew
from the very beginning we had you. The police officers tell us within minutes they had your DNA, like a
calling card. You were that careless, that foolish, that stupid.

Master degree? You're a joke. Complete joke.

But we took this disaster and we did what we could.

We put everything online. We took our kids. We took our images. We took everything that they did. Their videos,
their photos, the girls pranks, Ethan singing. We put it out there. We
shared it with the world. And the world united. And all they ended
up when they talked about this case is they talked about Kaylee Jade, Maddie May,
Xana, and Ethan.

Everything with these people meant to us. A father, a mother, a brother, a sister.
We shared that with our community. Then we shared it with our state. We shared it with the country.
And eventually we shared it with the world. The world's watching because of the kids, not because of you.

Nobody cares about you. You're not worth the time, the effort to be remembered.
In time, you will be nothing but two initials forgotten to the wind. No visitors, nothing more than initials on
an otherwise unmarked tombstone.

From this moment, we've all started
Come on, Smallville. From this moment, we will forget you.
We want to all leave in closing. One last thing. You picked the wrong family
and we're laughing at you on your trip to uh to Pen. That will be today or tomorrow.

I'll close with God bless all the men and women that worked on this case. and all the hard work that you guys did.
You guys allowed us to grieve and allowed us to get through this. The amount of work that you guys put
together and the way that you guys put it together was beautiful.
There was hard times to be expected, but thank you all and God bless.

Thank you.
