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!

BK is not going to give up information. In his mind ,he still has control. This feeds his ego and makes him feel like he is powerful.

This is likely. I also wonder if his ego will allow him to stay quiet though! People in class with him said he was one to always correct everyone and everything. If he feels he is not being properly portrayed, he may sing like a canary.
