Mother makes terrifying discovery in a murder victim’s belongings at the University of Idaho
The mother of the murdered University of Idaho student Kaylee Goncalves has shared a heartbreaking video online after ultimately receiving more than a dozen boxes full of her late daughter’s belongings from state investigators.
Kristi Goncalvesvoice began to break as she recounted that while going through Kaylee’s belongings, she came across the University of Idaho sweatshirt that Kaylee was wearing in video footage filmed outside a food truck hours before her murder.
The footage was part of a livestream from Moscow, Idaho, hosted by the food truck operators, Grub Truckers.
The images show Kaylee with her roommate and lifelong best friend, Madison May. We see the girls waltzing up to the truck after a night out with friends and ordering a plate of carbonara pasta. The footage shows the girls smiling, laughing and talking as they waited ten minutes for their food.
The footage was filmed between 1:33 a.m. and 1:43 a.m. on November 13, 2022.
“I just came across the sweatshirt she wore that night,” Kristi explained before holding up the wrinkled garment.
Kristi then said she found something in the sweatshirt pocket: the receipt for Kaylee’s food truck order.
She then unfolded the receipt for order No. 78, which showed the name of the company along with a time stamp of 1:42 am.
Kristi then began to inhale the sweatshirt and cried as she hugged it.
She explained that, besides a Sublime T-shirt and the sweatshirt, it was the first thing she came across from Kaylee that she was actually looking for in the boxes. When you find the food stamps, “it just takes you back to those hours, those hours right before … they had no idea what was going to happen to them.”
The Goncalves family also shared a screenshot of a text message sent to Kaylee’s phone by food truck operators at 1:05 p.m., asking simply, “Are you okay?” The message was sent one minute after an area-wide text about the killings was sent to students and staff at the University of Idaho.
Family members of one of the four victims of confessed killer Bryan Kohberger have spoken out after a recent photo dump by Idaho officials left them reeling.

Kaylee was 21 when she and three of her roommates were murdered by a student at Washington State University Bryan Kohberger. Early on Nov. 13, 2022, Kohberger found his way into the home Kaylee shared with Mogen, also 21, and killed them and college sweethearts. Xana Kernodle And Ethan Chapinboth 20, before fleeing the scene.
He initially pleaded not guilty to the murders, but later changed his plea to guilty to avoid the death penalty. Kohberger was sentenced in July to four consecutive life sentences and an additional 10 years for burglary.
Kohberger never revealed a motive for his crimes, leaving true crime obsessed with speculation.
Kohberger is serving his time in Idaho’s only maximum-security prison, which has a capacity for 535 inmates, according to the Idaho Department of Correction’s website. Kohberger has filed several complaints with prison staff since his arrival in August. The strict vegan has objected to prison food and has reported being taunted and sexually harassed by other inmates.
