MOSCOW, IDAHO: Murdered University of Idaho student Kaylee Goncalves' father has now spoken up about newly-unearthed footage showing his daughter and her friend Madison Mogen in which they are heard talking about a person called 'Adam'. Steven Goncalves has said Adam is not a suspect in the case.
Surveillance footage believed to be taken early on November 13, 2022, shows Goncalves and Mogen walking in downtown Moscow, accompanied by a man, just hours before they were brutally murdered. Fox News Digital obtained the video from Kristine Cameron and Alina Smith, the creators, and administrators of the 'University of Idaho Murders - Case Discussion' Facebook group. The video was reportedly sent to them by a Moscow resident who gave it to the police previously.

In the video, the women seem to be wearing the same clothes Goncalves and Mogen were donning in another video outside a nearby food truck the same evening. The man in the video also appears to be wearing clothes that look like those a man at the food truck wore, and who police had claimed was not a suspect. "Maddie, what did you say to Adam?" a woman asks in the video. "Like, I told Adam everything," the second woman replies.
Goncalves' father has said it was "pretty clear" that the man his daughter was talking about in the video was not a suspect. "We asked and did the obvious due diligence, and we looked into that, and it was pretty clear that this individual was not a part of the investigation as far as a suspect," he told Fox News.
Steven said the video was provided to him by a business owner whose camera had captured it. He added that although the footage provided no clue, it was a comfort to him. "It was kind of comforting to us, because it's just two girls having a good time, talking about, you know, asking about their bartender, and just being girls on their way to the grub truck," he said.
In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death in an off-campus three-story rented home. Law enforcement is yet to identify the suspect(s) in the case. Authorities have said that the gory scene where the students were killed was the “worst they’ve ever seen."
Meanwhile, a local shop owner recently claimed that Goncalves would beg her friends to walk closely behind all the time as she was "terrified" of a stalker who was reportedly following her around. Following her and her three friends' brutal murder, several reports claimed that Goncalves had a stalker. However, Moscow police have denied having any knowledge of it.
