A Mother’s Story: Kaylee, Loss, and Life After the Idaho Murders with Kristi Goncalves

Beyond the headlines of the Idaho College murders are four victims, four families, and lives that were forever changed. In this episode of I Want You To Know, we sit down with Kristi Goncalves, mother of Kaylee Goncalves, to talk about Kaylee beyond the headlines and what it has been like navigating unimaginable loss in the public eye. Kristi shares her experience with media attention, misinformation, the investigation and trial, and why her family chose to speak out. She also shares the work of the Kaylee Goncalves Foundation, what she wishes she had known along the way, and the victim impact statement she delivered in court. At the heart of this conversation is a mother remembering her daughter, advocating for other families, and trying to make something meaningful out of an unimaginable loss.
