Father of slain student Kaylee Goncalves comments on suspected Idaho murderer: 'Looked like a normal guy'

The father of one of the four college students that were stabbed to death in Moscow, Idaho, said he did not imagine suspected murderer Bryan Kohberger to look the way he does.

Kaylee Goncalves’s father Steve said he thought Kohberger, the 28-year-old criminology student who is the lone suspect in the quadruple homicide of University of Idaho students Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, would look more menacing and monstrous.

"No, I thought he would be much bigger and more of a monster, ya know obviously have those key looks of somebody who could not get along with girls and this was like his only option or something," Gonclaves told host Chris Cuomo during an interview on NewsNation.

"He just looked like a normal guy that would not stand out in any room or any party," the deceased 21-year-old’s father added. "Just by the looks of him, you would not know he had that going through his head."

Kohberger is believed to have entered the rental home of Goncalves and Mogen, both 21, and Kernodle, 20, before stabbing them to death in their beds during the early morning hours of Nov. 13. Chapin, also 20, who was staying with his girlfriend Kernodle that night, was also found stabbed to death.

Police believe Kohberger carried out the attack between 4:00 a.m. and 4:25 a.m.

Steve Goncalves’s comments come as more is being learned about Kohberger, who was a Ph.D. student at the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, which is located less than 10 miles from Moscow, Idaho.

Investigators found multiple pieces of evidence tying Kohberger to the crime scene, including a knife sheath with his DNA as well as seeing Kohberger's white Hyundai Elantra in the area, according to a probable cause affidavit that was released Thursday.

Moscow Police Department Cpl. Brett Payne noticed "what appeared to be a tan leather knife sheath laying on the bed next to Mogen's right side," according to the affidavit.

"I think that’s where the attack initiated, and that’s important," Joseph Scott Morgan, a distinguished scholar of applied forensics at Jacksonville State University in Alabama, told Fox News Digital "[It] goes to progression, and it goes to who the target was. That was perhaps the specific location he was bound for."

The Idaho State Police lab later identified Kohberger's DNA on the sheath.

Kohberger was ultimately arrested in late December at his parents' home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania — more than 2,500 miles away from the school. He was on winter break at the time of the arrest. The white Hyundai Elantra was at the family’s home.

Investigators also recovered trash at the home that matched a DNA profile found at the crime scene. An analysis determined the DNA from the piece of the garbage belonged to the biological father of the DNA profile found on the sheath, the affidavit says.

His DNA also matched a DNA sample in a public database and his phone also pinged several times at his Pullman residence, just before the murders took place, and again near the crime scene several hours later.

Kohberger has been extradited to face charges in Idaho, including four counts of murder and felony burglary.

Legal experts have commented the prosecution’s inclusion of the burglary charge could be key in court as it suggests the suspect and victims shared no previous relationship that would have warranted Kohberger to have been in the home that evening.

Police have not disclosed a possible motive for the murders. Any connection between the suspect and the victims is not known at this time.

Jaguars' late scoop-and-score clinches AFC South over Titans

The Jacksonville Jaguars are AFC South champions for the first time in five years, a title secured when Josh Allen returned a fumble 37 yards for a touchdown. This helped them seal a 20-16 victory over Tennessee on Saturday night.

Rayshawn Jenkins forced Josh Dobbs’ fumble. Allen then scooped up the ball and ran, untouched, the other way for a lead that held up against the Titans in a win-and-in game in the regular-season finale for both.

Dobbs fumbled again on the ensuing possession, and the Jaguars (9-8) started to celebrate their most significant regular-season victory in franchise history.

"This was one of those games where our defense had to win it for us," Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said. "Us guys on offense, we’re a little frustrated because we left a lot out there, But in these games, just win. Our defense picked us up today. They played great."

Jacksonville earned the No. 4 seed in the conference playoffs and will host either the Los Angeles Chargers or Baltimore in the wild-card round next weekend.

It’s the 18th time in the last 20 seasons that at least one NFL team won its division after finishing last or tied for last the previous year.

Jacksonville closed the regular season with its fifth consecutive victory and became the fifth team in NFL history to make the playoffs with a five-game losing streak and a five-game winning streak in the same season.

"We just kept believing," Lawrence said. "Nobody ever lost faith. Everybody believed in one another. We never started pointing the finger. We lost five games straight and we just got tighter."

Tennessee (7-10) lost its final seven games, a skid that had just about everyone writing them off before Saturday’s finale.

The Titans rested several starters last week and essentially created a 10-day break to get healthy. They returned to their bruising brand of football and looked like they would pull an improbable turnaround — until Dobbs’ turnover changed the game.

The Jaguars were 6 1/2-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, and a near-sellout crowd was on hand to witness what many thought would be more of a coronation than a scratch-and-claw nail-biter.

The Titans didn’t do anything spectacular. With quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) out for the season, they leaned on Dobbs — an aerospace engineer who has bounced around the league — to be smart with the ball and Derrick Henry to grind out tough yards. And they relied on a defense that’s been stout against the run all year.

It worked for 37 minutes — and then it unraveled.

Henry finished with 109 yards on 30 carries. Dobbs completed 20 of 29 passes for 179 yards, with a touchdown, an interception and the fumble.

Lawrence completed 20 of 32 passes for 212 yards, with a touchdown and a fumble. Lawrence had two would-be touchdowns in the second half fall incomplete. He overthrew Zay Jones in the end zone and underthrew Christian Kirk.
