“Unsealed Police Records Reveal Kaylee Goncalves Reportedly Saw a Stranger Staring Into Her Backyard Just One Month Before the Shocking Idaho Student Murders That Claimed Four Young Lives”
Police documents detail chilling encounters—including a stranger staring, open doors, and weapons kept for protection—just weeks before the University of Idaho tragedy.
Haunting new details have emerged in the investigation into the November 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students, adding a chilling dimension to the case that continues to grip the nation.
According to recently unsealed police documents, Kaylee Goncalves, one of the victims, told friends she saw a stranger staring into her backyard only one month before the killings. The revelation suggests that Goncalves may have sensed she was being watched in the weeks leading up to her death.
The records also describe a series of disturbing incidents at the off-campus King Road home. At one point, roommates reportedly found the front door wide open, prompting them to arm themselves with golf clubs for protection. In another account, Goncalves allegedly felt that someone was watching her from the windows, heightening her fears of being stalked.
These revelations come as prosecutors prepare to bring their case against Bryan Kohberger, a criminology Ph.D. student at Washington State University who was arrested in December 2022 and charged with the murders of Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Investigators allege Kohberger stalked the students and made multiple visits to the area before the crime. Kohberger has pleaded not guilty.
For families of the victims, the newly unsealed details bring both anguish and clarity. They paint a picture of a household increasingly aware of strange happenings in the weeks before the tragedy—incidents that, in hindsight, may underscore the calculated nature of the alleged stalking.
As the case moves closer to trial, the chilling testimony from the police records underscores the lingering question: Did Kaylee Goncalves sense her alleged killer before the night she was murdered?
