How were Bryan Christopher Kohberger and Kaylee Goncalves connected as University of Idaho theories go viral on Reddit
Attorney Shanon Gray, stated that law enforcement called the family last night. To alert them of the arrest without providing any further details about how or why they suspect he may be involved to the killings.
A 28-year-old man named Bryan Kohberger has been charged with the killings of four students at the University of Idaho. And his arrest has sparked a number of conspiracy theories online. The victim Kaylee Goncalves has been linked to the Idaho murder suspect Kohberger, according to online detective work.
After midnight on November 13, Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were murdered in their King Road off-campus house. WSU doctoral student in criminology and criminal justice Kohberger was taken into custody from his parents’ house in eastern Pennsylvania on December 30. Four counts of first-degree murder and burglary led to Kohberger’s arrest.
Users on the internet have speculated that Kohberger was aiming for Kaylee. A person posted on Reddit, “I recently read the interview with Kaylee’s father stating he sees a connection between the suspect and Kaylee. If she was the target all along, it would explain why her wounds were “worse”. And also perhaps why the police said the attack was targeted and there wasn’t a threat to the public.”
A second member chimed in to confirm this, saying, “Omg yeah I saw it too.“

Bryan Kohberger is not known by many
No one in the family, according to Steve Goncalves, is familiar with the suspect. But in the hours since they discovered his name, they have begun to see parallels. That between him and Kaylee Goncalves that they aren’t ready to disclose just yet.
The users’ claims are based on an interview with Kaylee’s father, Steve Goncalves. Someone on Reddit commented, “Kaylee’s dad came out and said that there is a direct connection between his daughter and the suspect but won’t divulge today since her celebration of life is today.”
One participant went so far as to offer an explanation for the incident’s motivation “I know we know nothing by way of motive, but I cannot help but feel like one of them rejected him somehow along the way and that’s what Kaylee’s dad was hinting at. Didn’t Kaylee or Maddie work at a vegan restaurant? Isn’t he vegan?”.
Not all users think in the same way
But another user has a different take on things and thinks Kaylee wasn’t the intended victim at all.
The commenter penned, “It makes me think that Kaylee & Ethan were tragically just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I really don’t think Kaylee or Ethan were targeted. I believe Xana and Maddie were the targets.
“He went to Maddie’s room and Xana’s room. Both girls also had someone else in bed with them, so he had to kill them as well. Just horrifying. I hate to even type the word ‘target’… it makes me cringe.”
