Idaho Murder Victim's Family Launches Foundation to Solve Cold Cases
The nonprofit will support police with cold cases and help families pursue answers, the family said.
- Steve and Kristi Goncalves launched the Kaylee Goncalves foundation to help law enforcement solve cold cases by funding advanced forensic DNA testing, honoring their daughter's memory.
- Nearly four years after the killings of four University of Idaho students, the parents seek to address a critical gap: many underfunded law enforcement agencies lack access to advanced forensic testing for investigations.
- Agencies may apply for funding to pursue testing that might otherwise be out of reach, with cases selected through specific criteria and operational safeguards ensuring proper resource application.
- Prioritizing violent crime, the executive director stated the foundation transforms personal grief into a mission to help families find answers, Kristi said, providing long-awaited investigative support.
- Investigative genetic genealogy could help identify offenders or provide closure to families living with uncertainty as future opportunities may allow the foundation to expand support for additional cold cases.
