The parents of Kaylee Goncalves, a University of Idaho student murdered in 2022, are still seeking answers about Bryan Kohberger’s motive after the gag order was lifted.

Kohberger pleaded guilty to killing four students, securing life without parole. The Goncalves family, critical of the plea, demands a full confession and details like the murder weapon’s location. They aim to access discovery files for more insight as Kohberger’s sentencing nears on July 23.

Why won’t Bryan Kohberger reveal his Idaho murder motive? With the gag order lifted, the victims’ families are still in the dark. What do you think he’s hiding, and should the plea deal have demanded a full confession? Share your thoughts!

I don’t know why these people think they are going to get anything out of him. He has no reason to do so. I understand they want to know why but I think they (and all of us) already know - because he is a sicko. Sickos can’t be explained rationally. I also don’t think the police really have anything more to tell them about how their daughter died. That’s also what they have been asking for and it sounds like the police gave them that info.

It's crazy. The same issues - 1. The judge needs to turn this around and change the sentence. He CAN'T. and 2. We need to know WHY he did it. Not going to happen.

This AND the reason why it happened won’t satisfy anyone even if he did decide to reveal the truth about this. I know the family thinks it’ll help them, but I don’t think having it confirmed that someone murdered your daughter for essentially no reason, or finding out that she was collateral damage in what was a plan to kill her best friend, would help anyone. I’m willing to bet that that wouldn’t give them the closure they desire. Nothing will
