On 23 July 2025, almost three years after the brutal murder of four University of Idaho students in Moscow, Idaho, suspect Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison for the killings. During the sentencing hearing, Alivea Goncalves, sister of victim Kaylee Goncalves, delivered a powerful statement that reignited public interest in the suspect's family and the early police response to the crime.
The sentencing took place in Boise, with Kohberger pleading guilty as part of a deal to avoid the death penalty.
