‘A lot of people’ had code for keypad lock on front door of Idaho murder house, victim’s sister reveals

• Kaylee Goncalves’ sister said the house where the girls lived was a popular venue for parties
• It is surrounded by other college kids’ homes, but no one saw anything 
• ‘Due to the closeness of the community and due to the safeness of it, I think a lot of people had access to that door,’ she said 
• There was no sign of a break-in at the home; one of the victims’ fathers suggested that the killer may have come through a sliding door 
• Kaylee was found stabbed multiple times in her bed on Sunday morning 
• Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were also murdered  

The sister of one of the murdered Idaho students found dead in their house on Sunday revealed this week that ‘a lot of people’ had access to the party house where the murders took place. 

Police remain at a loss over the brutal killings of Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. 

There were no signs of a break-in, and police do not know how the killer gained access to the home. 

Kaylee’s sister Alivea said ‘a lot of people’ had access to the house and the code to the front door because the girls were so sociable

In an interview, Kaylee’s sister Alivea said that many of the other kids in the area had access to the house and knew the code for the door. 

‘There was a key pad on their front door. 

‘I will say, due to the closeness of the community and due to the safeness of it, I think a lot of people had access to that door.

‘But yes, that door had a keypad code on it,’ she told KHQ.   

‘They lived on one of the most iconic streets of being seniors it’s kind of a well known place. I know my sisters and I know for a fact they locked their doors. 

‘It wasn’t a hit and run, it wasn’t a car accident. Someone did this with a purpose of doing this. Not once, not twice, not three times but four times. 

‘I don’t know of anything scarier than that. I don’t know what more people could be scared of. I do want to add that being vigilant in this case isn’t enough. 

‘They were vigilant. They went out in pairs. 

‘They only went downtown in a trusted Uber. They only came home in a trusted Uber. They only went to trusted places that they went every other weekend.’ 

This is the sliding door that one of the girls’ fathers believe may have been used by the killer to gain access to the home in the early hours of Sunday morning. All four victims were stabbed in their beds

Another sliding door in the home opens into the master bedroom. It’s unclear where exactly each student was sleeping, but they were all in their beds

She made a desperate plea to the other college kids in the town.

‘If you saw someone acting out of their nature, I know it’s important to protect family and friends and I know those ties of loyalty are strong but you should be scared. 

‘If you noticed off behavior, if you noticed something in the shared bathroom trashcan, if you noticed a weird smudge on the fridge after your roommate came home late, call it in. 

‘Any injuries, anything at all. Worst case scenario the police talk to them and they get to go home and you did your job,’ she said. 

The families said they are becoming frustrated with the lack of action by the local police department. 

The killer remains on the loose with no real leads or suspects named.
