Slain Student's Father Renews Plea for Return of Daughter's Phone, the Only Victim's Property Still Held

Sunday, October 18, 2026 · States · GSM News

MOSCOW — Steve Goncalves, the father of slain University of Idaho student Kaylee Goncalves, renewed his call on NewsNation on the night of October 17 for authorities to return his daughter's cellphone.

Kaylee Goncalves, 21, was one of four University of Idaho students killed at an off-campus home in Moscow in November 2022. Her family says her phone is the only one of the four victims' belongings still being held as evidence. The family has also sued to block release of the phone's data, which Latah County allegedly extracted with a GrayKey tool and outsourced to a neighboring county. The convicted killer, Bryan Kohberger, pleaded guilty and is now seeking to withdraw his plea agreement. (GSM, based on NewsNation and UNILAD reports)
