University of Idaho Murder Victim's Mom Feels 'Left in the Dark' on Police Investigation, Fears Case Could Go Unsolved

Concerned that the case may go unsolved, the mom of one of the four University of Idaho murder victims has spoken out four weeks after the horrific knife attack.

Kristi Goncalves, the mother of 21-year-old victim Kaylee Goncalves, noted that she "can't help but not" think that the case could go unsolved.

"I mean, in all honesty, that is a possibility. There's a lot of unsolved murders," she said in an interview with TODAY that aired on December 15.

Goncalves noted that she feels "left in the dark" about the investigation's status. She claimed to have sleepless nights and feeling sick to her stomach, describing a range of feelings she had never encountered as investigators still work to identify a suspect.

This week, police announced that they are working around the clock to find the individual they believe killed Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, and Xana Kernodle on November 13 in a house close to the school's campus in Moscow, Idaho.

Police believe the four victims were targeted while sleeping in the early morning hours. Each of the four victims was stabbed numerous times, and some sustained wounds from self-defense.

Mom of University of Idaho Murder Victim Opens Up About a 'Critical' Clue

Kristi Goncalves told NBC that her daughter told her about the December 7 news story in which authorities sought information about the people inside a Hyundai vehicle.

She said she was immediately struck by the question, "how long have they had this information? Where do they get this information? Was it on a camera?" She admitted that her first joy was muddled when she learned that everyone else had made the same discovery.

"The United States just found out the same time I did," she said.

The victims' loved ones were given hope by the Moscow Police Department's request, which Goncalves' attorney described as the first appeal to the community for assistance for help tracking down a specific evidence.

Goncalves noted that their family honestly thought it was over. Moscow police said a 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra car, likely driven by the suspect, was seen in the area surrounding the three-story, six-bedroom home where the students' bodies were found on November 13.

In a press release, police said, "investigators believe the occupant(s) of this vehicle may have critical information to share regarding this case." Police further noted that any information given by the public could help investigators "solve these murders."

Owner of Property Near Idaho Murder Incident Turns Over Surveillance Video to Police

The owner of a property near the residence where the four University of Idaho students were killed told Fox News Digital that he provided CCTV footage of a white car zooming by around the time of the murders.

Investigators called building owner Kane Francetich on November 14 to obtain footage from a camera atop his six-unit rental property on Linda Lane, which is only 0.3 miles from the scene of a homicide.

"I downloaded it and gave them access to everything from 2 a.m. through noon on that Sunday the 13th," Francetich said.

Although no suspect has been named, police are seeking the public's help in locating a white Hyundai Elantra that was seen around the crime scene at the time of the slayings.

The rental building and camera belonging to Francetich sit on a hill facing Taylor Road. This street connects 1122 King Road to Interstate 95, the path the suspect may have taken upon fleeing.

Between 2:45 and 3:15 a.m., Francetich said the car, which he characterized as "white" and "light-colored," drove west on Taylor Road. The video only showed the side view of the car.

Investigators informed Francetich that they wanted to analyze the video using "their special analysis tools." It is unknown whether the white car in Francetich's footage is the Hyundai Elantra that police are attempting to locate.

"Investigators are looking at it along with other things we've received from the public," said Moscow police spokeswoman Robbie Johnson.
