The parents of Kaylee Goncalves, one of the four University of Idaho students stabbed to death in a Moscow home, spoke out about their frustrations over the lack of information on how their daughter died and the plea deal offered to Bryan Kohberger, who admitted to four counts of first-degree murder in exchange for no longer facing the possibility of the death penalty at trial.
