UPDATE: September 12th (6:45 p.m.) The Goncalves have released a statement upon the news of Brian Kohberger's moved trial to Ada County.

In regards to the killing of the four University of Idaho students - Kaylee, Maddie, Xana, and Ethan, the statement reads for the changing of the trial to Ada County, as a "breath of fresh air" said the Goncalves. They still believe a fair trail could of been possible in Latah county, yet they see no matter the location the outcome will be no different. They Goncalves see Ada County being capable of bringing them justice.

With the move also to Ada County and a reassignment of a judge, the Goncalves wanted to thank the Idaho Supreme Court while understanding the process being made within the system of the law.

Idaho's Supreme Court has ruled that the upcoming capital murder trial of Bryan Kohberger will be moved to Ada County.
