Murder In Moscow: Jack DuCoeur’s Family Described His Grief After Kaylee Goncalves Was Killed · Beyond The Horizon

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the program. In
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the wake of the murders in Moscow, the first person
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I thought that was responsible for all of this was
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the last person that the girls had called. Now we're
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: talking right in the wake of all of this happening.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: And that was because usually it's an ex-boyfriend, an ex-lover,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: someone who was jilted, who does something like this. So
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the person that they had called all of those times
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: was Kaylee's ex-boyfriend, Jack. And now, again, remember, we're talking
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: about when this first happened, the first couple of days,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I thought that was the most likeliest of people who
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: was responsible for what happened here. But when we got
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: more context and we learned more information, well, we found
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: out that he was cleared and the police, they looked
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: at his alibi and according to them, he had nothing
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to do with this. Yet for some people, it just
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't good enough. And they kept digging, they kept poking,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and they kept vilifying this dude as if he was
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the killer. And now he's going to have to suffer
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: those consequences for the rest of his life. Not only
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: is he grieving his ex-girlfriend, but now people are vilifying
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: this kid and acting like he's the one who committed
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: these murders. And that's a tag that's going to be
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: stuck to him for the rest of his life, no
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: matter what happens here. Even when they find the real murderer,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the real person who did this, this kid's still going
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to be stuck with that tag. And that's pretty brutal.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Not only is he grieving the death of Kaylee, now
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: he has to worry about his own reputation and image
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: being tarnished forever. And remember, he's a student at the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: University of Idaho. So he's going to go back to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: this campus and now people are going to be looking
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: at him sideways. It's going to be all bad. And
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked at some point if this kid
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: ends up filing some lawsuits. Today's article is from the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: New York Post. Headline, Vilified ex-boyfriend of slain Idaho student
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Kaylee Gonsalves is devastated. This article was authored by Georgia Worrell.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: The man once considered a person of interest in the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: murder of his ex-girlfriend and three other University of Idaho
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: students is crushed he lost the love of his life
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and devastated that some consider him a suspect in the slaughter,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a family member told the Post. I can't imagine. Imagine
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: losing your girlfriend and then everybody thinking you did it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: That must be the weight of the world on your shoulders.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: And then even when the police clear you, you still
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: have knuckleheads out there that are banging the drum, acting
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: like you're the one who did it. Speaking publicly for
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the first time, Brooke Miller said her nephew, Jack Decor,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: is currently surrounded by family and friends as he grieves
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Kaylee Gonsalves' murder. He's not only lost the love of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: his life and what we all thought, and he probably
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: thought as well, would be his future wife, you know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: get married and have kids and all of that, but
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: also half of America thinks he could be responsible for
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the heinous killings, said Miller. And honestly, when all of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: this first happened, Like I said in the opening here,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I thought he was responsible too before we had any
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: details and we were just hearing about what happened. It
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: certainly sounded to me like the person who was being
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: called 10 times should be a person of interest. And
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: obviously the cops went down that path and they have
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: found that this dude, Jack here, has nothing to do
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: with it. And if they have already ruled him out,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know how people can be so gung-ho to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: try and point the finger at this dude. It seems
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: like a waste of time if you ask me. Decorin
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Gonsalves had been dating for five years when she broke
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: things off with him just three weeks before she was murdered.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: And again, we heard all of this stuff and using
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: history as a guide, it certainly looked like Jack was
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the one. So I could see how in the very beginning,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: people could think that this kid was responsible for these
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: murders because all of the signs were pointing directly to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: somebody that A, was close to them somebody that had
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a grievance and somebody that was mad for some reason.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And he certainly ticked all of those categories off. Ex-boyfriend
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: just broken up three weeks ago. But he would be
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the first person that the police looked into and he
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: would get the hardest look, in my opinion. And it
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: looks like that's what they did. Like he was the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: first one they looked into and they ruled him out
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: pretty quickly. So I'm guessing he had a pretty strong alibi, folks. Obviously,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: he was sad, but they were still friends, said the aunt,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: who would only say that Gonsalves was planning on moving
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: away and their split was amiable. Decor, who was a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: mechanical engineering major at the university, was initially considered a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: person of interest in the November 13 murders of Gonsalves,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: her two roommates, Madison Mogan and Zanna Kernodle, and Kernodle's boyfriend,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Ethan Chapin. Authorities said in the hours before their deaths,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Gonzalez and Mogan tried to call the Corps a total
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: of 10 times, but he didn't answer. So for me,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: when I first saw all of this, I was pretty
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: much locked into the fact that this was going to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: be it. They were going to be able to track
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: this down right away and there would be resolution. Boy,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: was I off the mark. And it seems like a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: lot of people who have been off the mark have
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: continued to stay over that target though. When the evidence
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: is provided, and we get, you know, an official statement
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: from the investigators that somebody has been ruled out, then
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, until something changes, that person
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: is ruled out. I'm not going to... Police in Moscow,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Idaho later said they'd looked into and cleared the phone calls,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and on November 23rd, declared Decor was no longer considered
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a suspect. Detectives do not believe the mail Kaylee and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Madison attempted to contact numerous times, on November 13th, is
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: involved in this crime. Moscow police wrote on Facebook, and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: they've been adamant in all of the updates they've done,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: all of the press releases, it's been the same thing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: That this young man had nothing to do with it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: But many internet sleuths have pointed the finger at DeCore
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: as the killer anyway. In a YouTube video posted by
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the Account Reporter Room on Thursday, host Jessica Ramos, Della
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Davies pointed out to Cora's red flags in regards to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the case, noting that he and Gonsalves had recently broken
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: up and that the dog they bought as a couple
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: did not alert to an intruder and was not harmed. Look,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: these are all red flags. There is no doubt about that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And that's why initially I thought it was this kid
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: as well. But obviously the investigators have stuff that we
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: do not have. They have access to information, alibis. They've
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: interviewed these people. So what would make Jessica Della Davies
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: think that she knows better? After mentioning Gonsalves' plan to relocate,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Davies said, we all know the most dangerous time for
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a woman is when she is trying to leave. Well,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: she's not wrong about that. When women are trying to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: leave a bad situation or a breakup in general, it's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: definitely a dangerous time for them. They're just the most
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: ridiculous conspiracies, Miller said in response to the online claims
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: vilifying Decor. Gonsalves' mother, father, and sister have publicly stated
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: their support for Decor since her death. We all know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: beyond a shadow of a doubt, that there is no
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: way that Jack would ever do anything like this to anybody,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: his aunt said. Decor now owns the fluffy golden pooch, Murphy,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: whom he and Gonsalves had bought as a couple. The
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: dog who lived with Gonsalves was found unscathed at the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: crime scene by police and initially turned over to animal services.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: You know, people want to act like because the dog
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: wasn't hurt that it had to be somebody that they knew. Well,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that's not the case. Look at a guy like Tony Soprano,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: for example. No problem killing humans, right? God forbid you
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: hurt an animal around the guy. There's people like that,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, that have no problem killing human
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: beings but wouldn't hurt an animal. So I think that
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: we can throw out all of the things that we
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: expect in a case like this usually and understand right
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: off the bat that this is a unique case. And
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think precedent is going to serve us here.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: DeCore is struggling at the thought of returning to the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: University of Idaho. It's hard for him to think about
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: going back to Moscow because his life there was very
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: involved with Kaylee's, Miller said. Miller started a give send
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: go on December 6th with a goal of raising $ 20, 000
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: so that Kaylee's family will be able to hire a
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: private investigator, get expert legal advice, etc. She said so
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: far $ 17, 212 has been collected in donations. Six weeks after
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the gruesome slayings, the Moscow Police Department still doesn't have
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a suspect in the case. The very last thing that
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: this family wants to happen is for this to become
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a cold case, Miller said. The Gonsalves family declined the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: post request for comment. I don't blame them. Right around Christmas,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: last thing they want to do is talk to the media.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: But it's interesting to hear from Jack's aunt here, considering
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: all of the accusations that have been thrown at this dude.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: And I think that it's important to follow the evidence
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: wherever it leads. And even if you're pigeonholed on a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: suspect and the evidence decides to move away from there, well,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: it's probably a good idea not to get caught up
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and to stay in that bunker. And when the investigators
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: are saying that this kid is not involved, I have
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to take them at their word. Obviously, if something changes,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: we'll be adding it to the catalog. But as of now,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and from everything we know, this kid has nothing to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: do with it and is just another bit of collateral damage.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: All right, folks, that's going to do it for this one.
