The dad of murdered Idaho student Kayle Goncalves, 21, has issued an urgent warning to his daughter’s accused killer, Bryan Kohberger as he prepares to face him in court next month.
Steve Goncalves warned the suspected quadruple murderer that he’s going to “bring it” during the trial, which will begin on June 26.
Kohbeger is accused of killing University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20.
The four students were killed as they slept in their beds at around 3am on November 13 – a crime that has rocked the small university town of Moscow, Idaho.
Slain student Kaylee’s dad has spoken out a number of times since his daughter was callously killed inside her off-campus King Road home.

Her dad, Steve, told ABC News that he’s ready to face Kohberger in court. The PhD student was arrested in his parents Pennsylvania home after a lengthy seven-week investigation.
The grieving dad told the outlet: “I can’t wait to see the evidence. And then I’m gonna bring it.
“And he’s gonna realize that this… is the family that’s gonna make sure he doesn’t get away with it.”
Kaylee’s mom Kristi told the network that she’s “thought long and hard” if her daughter and Kohberger had “crossed paths.”
She said: “We’ve talked as a family, you know, we’ve done a lot of research on what’s out there. None of it makes sense.”
Kristi told ABC News that she will try to avoid the courtroom during any graphic testimony.
She said: “I’m not going to scar myself. I have visions of my own that, you know, I have to deal with.”
There is no known connection between the four victims and Bryan Kohbeger, who attended Washington State University located just 10 miles from the University of Idaho.
Two weeks before the slayings happened last November, Kohberger reportedly sent a series of messages to one of the victims on Instagram, an investigator revealed.
In late October, an account that authorities believe belonged to the accused killer sent a greeting to one of the female victims, suspected to be Kaylee, the source said. When he didn’t get a reply, he sent several more messages to her.
“He slid into one of the girls’ DMs several times but she didn’t respond,” the source tells PEOPLE.
“Basically, it was just him saying, ‘Hey, how are you?’ But he did it again and again.”
