00:00:00
foreign [Music] be known as the scene of one of the most tragic crimes in American history
00:00:17
there's still sort of a Darkness whenever you talk to people it will be ever part of the University's
00:00:25
history and the town's history there are four very very important names in this case Kaylee Gonzalez
00:00:34
Madison Mogan odal and Ethan Chapin and if you're going to remember any names from this
00:00:41
case I ask that it be all four my name is Olivia Gonzalez and Kaylee was my little sister
00:00:50
everybody's going to work and you look out the window and there's kids running down the street laughing and you're just
00:00:55
like how can you be out there playing my daughter's dead you know Keely Gonzo and so I'm on
00:01:03
stop everything everybody in the whole world stop and everything just keeps going
00:01:10
[Music] my sister is Anna kernodle is one of the happiest funniest people I've ever met and I had the awesome
00:01:23
privilege of growing up with her and I still have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that it did happen
00:01:35
kober who's accused of stabbing these four University of Idaho students in the pre-dawn hours on November 13th 2022.
00:01:43
the murder weapon which was a knife has never been found this is a type of survival knife Brian coburger did not
00:01:50
make his own plea the judge entered a plea for him of not guilty that's my penalties life in prison for the death
00:01:59
penalty due to the nature of the crimes the state of Idaho is seeking the death penalty he was there to kill he came in
00:02:05
with the kit I believe he had a kill kit and you believe that everything right down to
00:02:11
the Implement of Destruction this large Marine knife that was all planned all planned it's inhumane you wouldn't
00:02:19
do these type of things to any living creature let alone an innocent human being
00:02:28
said evidence in the prosecution's case is the DNA that was found on the knife sheath that was left at the crime scene
00:02:35
but there's so much other evidence that's also pointing towards nobody else that we're aware of
00:02:42
how is Brian coburger's car spotted leaving the scene why was his cell phone seen there 12 times including the
00:02:50
morning after the offense the prosecution would like everyone to believe that it's an open and shut case
00:02:57
but I think the facts they have make the case more open than open and shut according to the defense there is no
00:03:07
connection whatsoever between Brian coburger and the victims and if there is no connection then there is no motive
00:03:15
and if there is no motive then it becomes very hard to make the case that he is the Killer and this is a graduate
00:03:23
student not a trained assassin it's more so about putting these pieces together because I know what the puzzle looks
00:03:31
like at the end I have the box in front of me but I'm missing so many pieces how did all of these pieces fall to
00:03:41
create what I'm living in right now where did where did this come from [Music] [Music]
00:04:26
thank you [Music] it was not the news Steve and Christy Gonzalez wanted to hear in August of
00:04:39
2023 just six weeks before the murder trial of Brian coburger was set to begin he waived his right to a speedy trial
00:04:50
absolutely they would have to wait indefinitely for their day in court I was really hoping that um we could get
00:05:00
this show on the road because uh the not knowing it just it's agony it's agony [Music]
00:05:11
Steve and Christy the parents of Kaylee haven't left anything to chance after the judge issued a gag order to
00:05:19
attorneys and law enforcement quote to preserve the right to a fair trial they drilled down on their own investigation
00:05:27
and are now sharing what they believe that investigation found Steve says he believes transparency is
00:05:36
the best path to Justice we're not going to just sit back and cross our fingers and pray that we're
00:05:43
going to get Justice [Music] it has been a long and painful Journey for the families of Kaylee Gonzalez
00:05:54
Maddie Mogan Zana kernodle and Ethan Chapin the four University of Idaho students who were savagely murdered by a
00:06:04
knife-wielding assailant in the wee hours of November 13 2022 as they settle down to sleep in
00:06:12
their off-campus house on King Road do you ever dream of your sister yeah we've had some dreams of her
00:06:20
there's times where I prayed and ask God to see her get another time and I did and
00:06:28
just gives me some peace knowing that I know she's okay [Music] Jasmine kernodle who is speaking for the
00:06:38
first time was a senior at Washington State University and lived only 15 minutes away from her younger sister
00:06:45
Zanna often mistaken as twins growing up she says they were best friends see this was
00:06:53
always fun she was uplifting and she took any bad situation and turned it into a good one
00:06:59
Jeff what did you love most about your daughter everything you cared about people
00:07:07
she was a people person scared about her friends just as much as like her family
00:07:14
for the first time in her life Zanna had fallen in love with fellow student Ethan
00:07:19
Chapin a triplet who loved his siblings boats and working on a tulip farm sweetest kid ever they were just two
00:07:29
happy people and they're just seeing the videos and photos of them you can just like tell
00:07:34
how happy they are they're just amazing together sadly they will now forever be linked in
00:07:41
death on Sunday morning November 13th zannah's friends started calling Jasmine saying
00:07:49
something bad had happened on King Road Jasmine rushed over to Santa's house and while you're driving that eight nine
00:07:58
miles over to the house are you trying to reach your sister then how many times do you call her oh I called her called
00:08:05
Ethan a lot her next call was to her father Jeffrey had been visiting Jasmine for Dad's weekend and was on his way
00:08:13
home so you answer the phone what do you hear oh you're kind of crying and just telling me to get back to Moscow and
00:08:21
meet me at Santa's house and you know my heart drops instantly race back down there
00:08:35
the house was cordoned off and swarming with investigators as soon as Jeffrey said he was Santa's father he and
00:08:43
Jasmine were escorted to the Moscow police department and Jasmine what does the officer say to you and your father
00:08:51
oh I don't remember exactly just that four people passed away and that one was Anna
00:09:00
the worst day of your life just your worst nightmare just happened you know what do you do
00:09:11
you can't do a damn thing 100 miles away the gonzalvis family also had been getting frantic calls saying
00:09:21
something bad had happened to their daughter Kaylee but no one knew what I just kept saying over what do I do what
00:09:28
do we do what do we do finally at around four in the afternoon a deputy appeared
00:09:34
at their door and we said what's going on I confirmed your daughters died it's passed away apparently you said there
00:09:41
were four victims and we and I said four and he said yes ma'am I said can you tell us if one of the victims was Manny
00:09:47
Logan and he said yes ma'am Maddie moken Kaylee's best friend from childhood give us a sense of just how
00:09:58
close uh Kaylee and Maddie were in life I think that they had a very amazing relationship
00:10:08
the epitome of true best friends from very early I mean they were sisters through and through
00:10:15
they were completely Inseparable as soon as the news hit Olivia the eldest of the five gonsalves children
00:10:24
and her parents went into detective mode we had zero details we just knew they were gone Olivia got into her sister's
00:10:33
call log and frantically started cold calling recent numbers she says a friend told her that Kaylee had been at the
00:10:41
corner Club bar around 107 a.m and later texted a ride share driver who Olivia managed to track down the ride share
00:10:51
driver said around 1 45 Kaylee had texted him requesting a ride from the grub truck which is the local
00:10:58
mac and cheese food truck to take her back home to 1122 King and she had with her another female
00:11:07
Olivia then uncovered one of the most important leads in the case the Rideshare driver told her about a camera
00:11:15
mounted on the grub truck so I was able to look it up and find Kaylee on the video and I saw the girl that she was
00:11:23
with was Maddie so at that point I knew Kaylee and Maddie were together they got
00:11:29
into the car to go home together and alone the driver told her the exact time Kaylee and Maddie were dropped off at
00:11:36
their house on King Road 1 56 a.m a timeline she says she confirmed before the police I immediately took it to the
00:11:47
police officers here's her phone information here's the Rideshare driver's name Olivia says
00:11:55
Kaylee made a call to her boyfriend at 2 56 a.m but he didn't answer the gonzalvises believe Kaylee fell asleep
00:12:04
shortly after according to the police affidavit Kaylee and Maddie were stabbed to death between 4 and 4 25 am
00:12:14
just as they had done since they were little girls they were sleeping in the same bed
00:12:21
those two best friends since little girls I don't think there's anything more terrifying than what they went through
00:12:30
I really don't the killer took four lives in a matter of minutes but he left behind two
00:12:39
surviving roommates one of whom would provide a key description of the Intruder it was dressed in black but
00:12:46
muscular build and very bushy eyebrows foreign [Music] if there is one picture that speaks to
00:13:11
the Idaho student murders it is this six smiling college students blissfully unaware of the Carnage to come it's
00:13:20
staged in a way that is almost in a strange way ominously predicting investigative journalist Howard Bloom
00:13:29
has written extensively on the student murders for great and Carter's online magazine airmail he is now writing a
00:13:37
book on the case on the ends of the picture are the two survivors in the middle are are the victims and they're
00:13:45
huddle together Kaylee with a beaming Maddie on her shoulders friends for life Ethan with his arm around Santa Young
00:13:54
Love In Full Bloom a moment that should have been a memory of their idyllic college Years would eternally be a
00:14:02
reminder of the gruesome murders that put them in their graves [Music] what makes it so tragic
00:14:12
is that forever preserved in this moment they'll never be able to leave this moment
00:14:18
hours after this photo was taken the four friends would be murdered their deaths so violent even the house seemed
00:14:26
to be bleeding there's literally blood oozing out from the home you could see it on the exterior walls CBS News
00:14:33
consultant Brianna Fox is a former FBI agent and professor of criminology at the University of South Florida that's
00:14:42
how Bloody and gruesome the crime scene is according to the affidavit which outlines law enforcement's investigation
00:14:50
the bodies of Zanna and Ethan who was sleeping over were found in or near her bedroom on the second floor
00:14:59
the bodies of Kaylee and Maddie were on the third floor in the same single bed in Maddie's room how did your daughter
00:15:08
die in that house what do you know we know the autopsy we know the means of what is officially how she died she was
00:15:16
assaulted and stabbed several several times her death certificate is the ugliest disgusting
00:15:24
piece of paper that you will ever see in your life and every line is a horror show every line because there's causes
00:15:32
of death and then there's contributions to death Christy and Steve spoke to coroner Kathy
00:15:38
Mabbitt before the gag order was issued and they say she told them how the two friends were positioned in the bed the
00:15:46
bed was up against the wall the headboard was touching the wall and the left side of the bed was touching
00:15:52
the wall and we believed that Maddie was on the outside and Kaylee was on the inside
00:15:57
according to coroner mabbit The Killers first victim was Maddie says Steve and then from Maddie he moved on to your
00:16:07
daughter you believe she had awakened at that point yes yeah there's evidence to
00:16:12
show that she awakened and tried to get out of that situation the way the bed was set up
00:16:18
is trapped she was trapped we know from the affidavit that coburger's cell phone
00:16:24
pinged in the vicinity of the house 12 times prior to the murders Steve says before the gag order one of
00:16:32
the lead investigators told him they believe coburger had been scouting out the house you believe these visits were
00:16:40
like he was like on an intelligence Mission a scouting Mission looking at lifestyle patterns when they came and
00:16:47
went who came to the house methodical yeah he had to know when people were coming people were going it makes the
00:16:55
Gonzalez's wonder if he'd ever gone inside the house I think that he at least had opened that door went in
00:17:03
tested the waters looked around Steve says the coroner told him the Killer's Rampage started on the third
00:17:11
floor where both Maddie and Kaylee had their bedrooms Christy thinks he wasn't expecting to find the two friends
00:17:18
together in the same bed I do think that his plan will awry I do think that you know he intended to kill one and killed
00:17:25
four Brianna FOX also believes Anna and Ethan were collateral damage according to the affidavit Zanna received a
00:17:33
doordash food delivery at 4 00 am then went back to her room on the second floor
00:17:40
it's possible says Fox that Zanna still awake came face to face with the Killer and she sees somebody that she doesn't
00:17:50
expect and I don't think he was expecting to see her either one of the two surviving roommates Dylan
00:17:56
Morton's son later told the police that she heard what she thought was crying coming from Santa's room
00:18:04
she heard a male voice say something to the effect it's okay I'm going to help you not something a killer would likely
00:18:11
say to an intended target says Fox he probably was trying to make a split second decision do I run away do I kill
00:18:21
her what do I do and he decided to kill her at approximately 4 17 a.m police say
00:18:28
an outside security camera less than 50 feet from Santa's room picked up distorted audio of what sounded like
00:18:36
voices or a whimper followed by a loud thud shortly after Dylan the surviving roommate whose bedroom was near zanna's
00:18:46
opened the door according to the police affidavit when Dylan opens the door she saw a man dressed in black with a black
00:18:55
mask as she says he has bushy eyebrows those bushy eyebrows become very important when the police are
00:19:04
making their identification the man with the bushy eyebrows kept walking to the rear of the house without
00:19:11
harming Dylan why was Dylan not killed again there's no definitive answer he didn't kill her because he didn't see
00:19:21
her he was sort of transfixed on getting out he didn't kill her because she was satiated or he was simply too depleted
00:19:30
to kill again says Fox even stabbing somebody for a minute and a half not only is that Overkill but it actually
00:19:37
would become rather exhausting the police believe the murder weapon which has not been found was a
00:19:45
military-style k-bar knife similar to this one the details are disturbing this is not a civilian knife
00:19:53
it was actually meant to tear apart bone ligaments organs so this is a extremely
00:20:01
brutal and something that you would never expect a person to walk in and want to commit unless they took
00:20:12
some pleasure out of the brutality of it after seeing the Intruder Dylan the surviving roommate told investigators
00:20:20
she locked herself in her room it would be almost eight hours before 9-1-1 was called causing an uproar on
00:20:28
social media criticizing Dylan's alleged inaction but Brianna fox says It's Not Unusual
00:20:35
for people to freeze or be too afraid to intervene she had no reason to you know know how
00:20:43
to handle herself in that moment according to the affidavit the male walked towards the backsliding glass
00:20:50
door and presumably left the scene but committing murder and getting away with it are two different things says Fox for
00:20:59
an offender to get away with a crime a murder they have to bat a thousand they have to
00:21:04
be absolutely perfect and they make One Singular mistake that's all it takes and that one possible mistake in this
00:21:12
case may have been the sheath to the k-bar knife one like this was found on the bed next to Maddie Mogan it would
00:21:20
lead investigators to the door of a man studying for a career in criminology Brian kohlberger the alleged killer
00:21:33
timeline of the case go to 48hours.com [Music] [Music] [Music] day after day and week after week pass
00:22:01
and there is no suspect that is arrested what was that time like for you that was the worst
00:22:08
for 47 days after the murders the families of Kaylee Maddie Zanna and Ethan and the country waited we do not
00:22:19
have a suspect at this time and wept and weighed in people of Idaho and those throughout our nation Who provided
00:22:30
information has been very impressive we've received over 19 000 tips then on December 30th 2022 Brian
00:22:41
coburger was arrested in albrightsville Pennsylvania at the time his attorney said coburger
00:22:49
looked forward to being exonerated what goes through your mind when you see the face of the alleged killer oh I
00:22:58
wonder who who is this why you know never heard of the person before it still is confusing why at this point the
00:23:06
families knew as much about coburger as the public did a PhD candidate studying criminology just 10 miles away at
00:23:15
Washington State University in Pullman I remember thinking I only have a few minutes to
00:23:23
look up this individual and to try to get any credible information before things start getting wonky some of
00:23:32
Olivia Gonzalez's online discoveries of coburger made her uneasy he had made a few posts on Reddit in which he was
00:23:42
conducting it seems like a questionnaire to people in prison or jail who had committed crimes how did you pick your
00:23:51
victim or your target for seven weeks the families and the country were left wondering
00:24:01
for this type of an investigation 47 days is actually quick criminologist and CBS News consultant
00:24:09
Brianna fox says the Moscow police kept things moving starting with a video canvas which
00:24:17
produced footage from those early morning hours showing a white car making three passes
00:24:24
by the girl's house starting around 3 30 A.M less than an hour later investigators
00:24:31
say the killer struck [Music] they noticed that this car approached King Road left came back almost at a
00:24:42
U-turn finally went there around 406 in the morning and that car then departed in about 25 minutes and sped off
00:24:54
multiple surveillance cameras then captured that white car as it traveled what appeared to be a less direct route
00:25:01
back to Pullman Washington arriving around 5 30 A.M that information helped investigators
00:25:11
identify the make and model of the vehicle and we're looking for a 2011 to a 2013
00:25:17
Hyundai Elantra Washington State Police find the car parked outside graduate housing they get the license plate and
00:25:27
they get Brian coburger's name they then get the driver's license and they see the bushy eyebrows that in the eyes of
00:25:35
one of the Moscow detectives must be the eyebrows of the killer now armed with a
00:25:41
warrant investigators retrieved cell tower data from that morning which captured coburger's phone around 2 47 am
00:25:50
in Pullman when it suddenly stopped connecting to the network according to the affidavit this was also
00:25:57
around the time cameras caught a white Elantra leaving his apartment complex there was indication that he turned off
00:26:06
his cell phone which is something that a lot of people do and they want to avoid
00:26:10
law enforcement knowing their whereabouts his cell phone signal was picked up again two hours later south of
00:26:18
Moscow as it traveled back toward his apartment building the affidavit described a deeper dive
00:26:25
into coburger's phone history that revealed this was a familiar neighborhood to him going back several
00:26:32
months cell phone records indicated that he has traveled past was very near the vicinity
00:26:39
of his crime scene on 12 separate occasions and Towers actually captured a 13th trip just hours after the murders
00:26:48
anecdotally a lot of killers they like revisiting the memory of the crime I won I was able to get away with this
00:26:56
and you guys won't catch me but they had one secret weapon to make their case they had the knife sheath and there was
00:27:03
a microscopic spot of DNA on this could they tie this DNA to Coburg according to
00:27:10
the affidavit the DNA was found on the button snap of the sheath but when investigators ran it through the
00:27:17
National Database there were no matches it's unclear if Brian coburger knew law enforcement was watching when he left
00:27:26
Washington in mid-December coburger and his father who had flown in from Pennsylvania drove back home together in
00:27:34
his white Elantra coburger from what I've heard tells the father that he's in trouble with his his job he's concerned
00:27:41
enough about his son to want to make the drive back with him on the 2500 mile Journey from Washington they are stopped
00:27:49
twice for traffic violations hello what's also interesting is coburger's reaction to the police is
00:27:58
this your car okay cool he's pretty calm and cool father and son made it home to
00:28:05
albrightsville Pennsylvania where Bloom says investigators initiated a stealth operation what they did is they sent a
00:28:14
team of Pennsylvania state troopers to coburger's family's house law enforcement recovered coburger's
00:28:22
father's DNA from the trash outside their home which tested as a high probability it was the biological father
00:28:30
of whoever left DNA on the knife sheath so that was the Eureka moment which they
00:28:37
decided they could get an arrest warrant at that point they made the arrest of Brian coburger and they got a separate
00:28:43
essentially a search warrant for his DNA and when investigators compared his DNA
00:28:48
to the DNA on the knife sheath they say it was a statistical match at least 5.37
00:28:55
octillion times more likely to be co-bergers than anyone else [Music] [Music] where you sit today are you certain that
00:29:14
Brian coburger is the killer with what you know I don't trust anybody or anything so I
00:29:21
have to see it myself I have to see everything as the months pass Steve and Christy
00:29:27
Gonzalez remain a united front in wanting justice but their weight has brought different perspectives your mind
00:29:35
is still open to the potential of course that it could have been someone else of
00:29:39
course I go into that 100 yep of course that's not where you are no no that's fine
00:29:52
I think there's any slam dunk criminologist Brianna Fox Says with the gag order in place any hint of
00:30:00
coburger's Defense has come from court documents it seems that the defense is alleging there's a rush to judgment law
00:30:07
enforcement made an arrest too fast and they focus on their client too quickly a defense filing did reveal coburger's
00:30:15
Alibi for the night of the murders it simply stated Mr kohlberger was out driving alone the defense is not
00:30:23
necessarily having to prove that he's innocent they just have to raise doubt both Fox and Howard Bloom think the
00:30:30
defense can find ways to poke holes in the prosecution's case challenging some of the key evidence presented in the
00:30:37
affidavit including the cell phone location data and the white Elantra there's other concerns such as whether
00:30:46
Brian coburger's car was accurately identified at the onset or if that was revised after knowing what Brian
00:30:52
coburger drove the cell phone data makes one suspicious of co-burger but it's not
00:30:58
convincing it's not putting someone at someone's doorstep is putting someone in someone's
00:31:05
neighborhood if you can raise doubts about the validity and the accuracy of the cell
00:31:13
phone data I think your half way there to getting the case against coburger either a hung jury or a not guilty
00:31:21
verdict [Music] according to the defense that there is no DNA or forensic evidence found from
00:31:30
the crime scene Apartments car office or ombre and coburger's person so they were basically
00:31:38
alleging how could he have committed such a brutal murder and yet have no evidence found on him of that after
00:31:46
Consulting their own investigators Christy and Steve theorize that coburger likely brought what they call a kill kit
00:31:54
with him what do you mean by a kill kit I think he had a backpack we don't know if it was coveralls pants we don't know
00:32:04
a defense filing also claimed the presence of other unidentified male DNA was found on the premises three separate
00:32:14
and distinct male DNA profiles were found from the crime scene two were inside the house one was outside on a
00:32:22
glove the defense wants to know who are these people and what role could they have played in this whole story so what
00:32:29
the defense is doing now is trying to look for other narratives that make sense Howard Bloom has written
00:32:38
extensively about this case including a piece on a possible alternative defense Theory involving drugs maybe someone had
00:32:47
written egged on a drug payment and this was a retribution of Vengeance for people not paying for drugs they had
00:32:55
ordered I want you guys to respond to one thing that's out there because the speculation that somehow drugs were
00:33:02
involved in this attack that's just Hollywood nonsense I I just dismissed that because I I understand our society
00:33:10
wants to believe in some of these movies that they watch they don't have these crazy lives where they're crossing paths
00:33:18
with people like that that storyline of it being drugs gives people a reason to think why it happened because nobody
00:33:25
knows why and the reason I think it happened is because he wanted to that's what he wanted to do he wanted to

commit a murder Brian coburger's defense attorneys argue there's a lack of evidence linking their client to the
00:33:40
students the defense is claiming that the defendant Brian coburger and the victims have absolutely no connection
00:33:46
there's no motive in the minutes after Brian coburger was publicly named the Gonzalez family went online they just
00:33:55
told us the name and we immediately started Googling they believed they had found a possible
00:34:00
connection through Instagram and immediately took these screenshots from our investigation of the account it
00:34:08
appeared to be the real Brian coburger account among the people this account was
00:34:14
following were Maddie Mogan and Kaylee Gonzalez in addition to several people with the name coburger but when we
00:34:22
looked through theirs it appeared to have other family members that were related to him at first Steve who works
00:34:30
in I.T was skeptical thinking someone created a fake account immediately following coburger's arrest
00:34:38
but according to the family they uncovered more possible connections you would go to Maddie's Instagram account
00:34:45
and look at her pictures and he liked them Brian's name was under a lot of baddie's pictures like that picture and
00:34:52
that picture and that picture and that picture so he was actively looking at the Instagram accounts and
00:34:59
the importance of that is what just digital evidence that this particular account had some type of connection with
00:35:06
the with the victims 48 Hours has not confirmed the authenticity of this account which has
00:35:13
since been deleted and the gag order prevents investigators from commenting [Music]
00:35:21
after dedicating months looking for their own answers the gonzalvises say they are mentally prepared for trial no
00:35:30
matter when it begins I think he's done he's going to feel all of us just staring at the back of his head and he's
00:35:38
going to know that we are the Gonzalez family and he knows what he did to our daughter
00:35:43
[Music] [Music] um foreign how could this happen to a group of kids that are doing everything the way
00:36:08
they're supposed to do to not known is what keeps you awake at night and it's every day all day it never
00:36:19
stops why why why there is no why [Music] it is as unexplainable today as it was
00:36:26
the day Kaylee Gonzalez Maddie Mogan Zannah kernodle and Ethan Chapin were murdered
00:36:34
I wish they wish me knew they were all four of them were just such a great people and I made such an
00:36:44
impact on the lives around them for now the families are left with thoughts of what might have been
00:36:57
Kaylee Jade Gonzalez has been recommended to receive a posthumous bachelor's degree
00:37:04
her family will receive the diploma of the University of Idaho on May 13 2023 exactly six months from
00:37:15
the day of the murders an occasion that would have been a cause for celebration graduation was instead another reminder
00:37:23
of what was lost those graduation photos it just graduation is just one of many Milestones that will be missed
00:37:38
[Music] honor and I probably would have been hers and [Music] to have to go through those live moments
00:37:47
without her Jasmine kernodle planned to work side by side with her sister Zanna creating
00:37:56
their own marketing business so it's not the same without her because she just brought like such a crazy
00:38:04
different energy than anybody else I've ever met Kaylee Gonzalez's future was in sight
00:38:12
she had accepted a job in Austin working for an I.T firm Kaylee not only pushed herself say her parents but pushed them
00:38:22
we lost that person that would force us to make new memories and force us to go and take on something that seems a
00:38:29
little daunting at first guys for the gonsalveses amid all the loss there was an addition to the family when
00:38:38
in February Olivia gave birth to a baby girl so her name is Theodora Maddie k obviously Maddie K is after Maddie and
00:38:48
Kaylee and if one were to believe in signs they're worse as Olivia several with Theodora Maddie K's arrival
00:38:57
in the hospital her room number 1113 was the same as the date of the murders November 13th
00:39:06
and eerily the time of birth 4 21 am is in the time frame that Kaylee and Maddie
00:39:13
are believed to have been killed life and firsts first Giggles first walks that they
00:39:23
would be there somehow you know even if it's just in namesake this is the Gonzales family Matty has
00:39:33
truly been a blessing in our lives I'm Santa's sister the families of Kaylee Maddie Zanna and Ethan have all searched
00:39:42
for ways sometimes together to cope with a horrible New Normal we all are always
00:39:49
going to be there for each other and it's just difficult we all we're all going through it in our own ways
00:39:56
for Ethan's parents Stacy and Jim Chapin one way of coping involves creating a foundation Ethan's smile isn't just that
00:40:06
a great smile and I smile all the time raising money for scholarships by selling tulips planted in honor of Ethan
00:40:14
who had worked at a tulip farm so Ethan will live on through the foundation that's what motivates us to
00:40:22
to do this how do you live with this Jeff it's not easy [Music] just gotta keep going you know
00:40:34
I think just like living our lives like Zana would want us to I know that she would want us to talk about the life
00:40:42
that she lived and to be her voice right now she had a beautiful smile her and Maddie
00:40:51
the memories that we shared we don't do it lightly because they are very private
00:40:57
memories and sometimes it feels like I'm giving away a part of them but I do it for the importance to
00:41:04
realize how great of a loss it is because nothing's gonna bring them back [Music]
