Parents of University of Idaho murder victim swear ex-boyfriend’s innocence just in case: ‘We support Jack 1000%’

Parents of Idaho murder victim Kaylee Goncalves have spoken out to maintain the innocence of their daughter’s ex-boyfriend after it was revealed she had repeatedly contacted him the night of the quadruple homicide.

Steve and Kristi Goncalves joined Lawrence Jones on “Lawrence Jones Cross Country” on Saturday night to explain why they think officials are “wasting their time” investigating Kaylee’s ex-boyfriend Jack after she and her roommates were killed in the small town of Moscow.

“They’re wasting their time with Jack,” Kristi told Jones. “And Jack is as devastated as we are. Jack is our family. Jack is 1000%. 2000% our family, and Jack is with us, and we support him 100%.”

“We support him, and we know in our hearts, our minds, our souls and the depths of our soul, Jack is hurting,” she continued. “Kaylee and Jack would have ended up getting married. They would have ended up getting married, and they would have ended up having kids.”

Kristi explained that Kaylee and Jack have been dating for years and said the pair are on their way to getting back together after spending time apart.

Kaylee and her roommate allegedly called Jack seven times shortly before 3 a.m. Investigators say the students were likely stabbed to death as they slept early Sunday morning between 3 and 4 a.m. at a home in Moscow, Idaho, on the college campusaccording to the police.

Two additional housemates from the King Road residence were in the house when the attacks took place, but they are not considered suspects in the incident.

Kaylee’s parents were adamant about Jack’s innocence in the case and said the correspondence was nothing out of the ordinary.

“We love Jack, we absolutely love Jack,” Kristi said. “We support Jack 1000%.”

Kaylee and her housemates, Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21, were brutally stabbed to death a week ago, and many questions remain unanswered.

Madison “Maddie” was like family to the Goncalves, who said they thought of her as another girl.

“Maddie was at our oldest daughter’s wedding,” Kristi said. “She said, ‘All my sisters are my bridesmaids,’ and Maddie was one of those bridesmaids. And it was all of Olivia’s sisters, including Maddie.”

“Every time we’ve traveled out of the country or gone on vacation, Maddie has been with us, so they’re our two daughters, and we’ll never stop looking for who killed them,” she continued. .

They have yet to name any potential suspects or persons of interest in connection with the brutal killings.

Despite the tragedy, Kaylee’s father noted the overwhelming support from his local community following their passing.

“Everyone is hurting, everyone is feeling the pain,” Steve said. “The one shiny thing about all of this is that I never realized how beautiful my community is and how much love there is for people. We only have one bad person , and we need to find this guy.”
