Karen is such a pillar of strength, poise, and grace. I look at her and easily see Maddie’s face- her expressions, her mannerisms. I wish the families comfort as they await justice for their loved ones.
Wow they are like TWINS! Maddie has not been forgotten! I think of these 4 kids almost daily. As a mom to 2 sons this age, this story has gripped me from the beginning. Ive followed it closely ever since! I love the good work you’re doing in her name! It’s so nice to see & hear from Maddie’s mom 💜💜💜
I had 3 daughters and 1 son all enrolled in college away from home at the time of these horrific killings, and for months and months afterwards, I could think of nothing else but these parents, and I hope they know that there is SO much love and support out there for them and their families and what they are going through. May God bless them all. ❤
Wow! MADDIE got the best looks of each her mom n dad. Bless her Mama heart. I’ve followed this case from the beginning. Folks that want to pick apart these individuals’ pasts or life choices should truly knock on wood and hope their child is NEVER EVER TAKEN. NO ONE DESERVES THIS.
I love that. I dreamed about my best friend when she died. She came to me in my dream in a clearing in the woods. She stood there and looked down at herself. She said, "Oh, you won't believe it! Its so beautiful!" She said, "Look at me. Its just so perfect." ------------- I had suffered so much after she died. It was so unexpected. But after that, I felt so much peace. I knew she was ok and she was giving me a gift, that I don't have to be afraid. -------------------- God bless you.
This momma knew it was finally her time to speak. She seems like such a sweet lady. You can definitely see her faith shine through her as she speaks. May the Lord continue to give her and her family strength through this. I lost a 19 year old in a car accident. It doesn’t compare to the way she lost her baby. But grief as a mom/parent is the most painful thing in the world. And without faith, I understand her grieving knowing where our babies are at and knowing we will see them again one day. ❤🙏🏼 Karen, keep your light shining for others. I pray this foundation be used to glorify God through your loss to help others. You are amazing!!! ( I feel like I could sit with her for hours.) ❤
It’s so hard for her and it seemed like this was really painful to have so many questions on her loss with dramatic pauses and stares and waiting for her to answer right before the holidays. So sorry for her losses (bc the girls were best friends). I will remember her statement for a long time that the process seems not to be done in a manner for the victims’ families. 💔
Wow!! Karen has one of the most beautiful speaking voices I ever seen. She sounds so warm and angelic. No wonder Maddie was so loved and pure, both her parents seem the kindest and purest. My heart breaks for them.
God bless this mother . No parent should have to go through loosing their child to someone unaliving them 😢 sending prayers to all of the victims families 🙏🏼❤
As many are saying already, it is clear where Maddie got her beauty and gentle spirit; her mother. Karen's strength is amazing. My heart goes out to her, the rest of Maddie's family and to the Goncalves, Kernodle and Chapin family. Four beautiful souls that will forever be celebrated and missed. Thank you, Today Show, for your gentle, warm interview.
There is a true story about 2 Idaho girls who were best friends like Madison and Kaylee. The one girl had a dream that she would die with her best friend right before high school graduation and it came to pass. Her dream told her she offered to come in with her friend to help her have that experience. I don't know for sure but it reminds me of these girls who were clearly soul friends. I live a few hours from there and it hit us all hard. Prayers for the families, it is an endless heartache.
Karen Laramie, you are a lovely person! So, so sorry what happened to your daughter and her friends. Horrifying for those kids and I am hoping you get justice although it will never be enough and never replace Madison. More Femicide in North America, although no one seems to want to admit it. Ethan got killed, I believe, more by accident. He targeted a woman or women.
It’s so refreshing to hear from Maddie’s actual family. I’m so glad she has this representation after all the negativity brought from Kaylee’s family around this case. TBH I would be insulted the way Kaylee’s family talked about Maddie if I were her mom. They really made it seem like Maddie was some orphan who needed reprieve from a troubled family situation or something. Both Maddie’s parents seem like very kind and loving people. Who knows what her childhood looked like though I guess 🤷♀️
Because they don't have the real killer and they're scourging to make up evidence to make him look as guilty as possible. The guy is a scapegoat, there is no way one person committed this crime.
Because in a way they did. Maddie was an only child and was in their lives since she was a child to a teenager. They went to family trips together and she was like a sixth child to them. If they give you this feeling from an interview it means they want to show the world that it felt like they lost two children that night. That isn’t odd, what’s odd is your reaction.
Agreed. Glad Maddie’s family is able to represent her this way. Kaylee’s family made it seem like Maddie was an orphan or something. Hearing from Maddie’s mom was refreshing especially after all the negativity Kaylee’s family brings to the table every time speak.
Hope these Families Get Justice. Glad they're keeping Busy Keeping the Memory of these victims in people's view. To Bad so many comments about the guy in custody being a Scapegoat. Especially Since his Cell Phone was in the Area n he left his DNA AT THE CRIME SCENE!!!! N I'm glad he's staying in prison waiting 4 his Trial.
He seems to have all the rights, but rhe legal system is not considering the Victim's rights. The bible says, good will be called evil and evil be called good
This is normal to take this long to get all the facts to convict a killer of a quadruple homicide. With no errors and conviction. You watch too much television to think it goes faster. The lawyers need it to go smoothly and get it right and convict this monster. I live here and this monster must not get let go on some legal technicality because you kids want it done faster. We want justice, it just takes a little bit I. The real world.
It’s completely on the prosecution. Do your research. They still haven’t turned over all the evidence they supposedly used to have him arrested and they’ve had two years and over 20 motions to compel have been filed by the defense asking for it. The state is stalling bc they know they don’t have ish.
This was a job done by more than one man and the guy thats on trial isnt the right guy. It was done by multiple jealous guys at school and guys that were turned down by these girls, im sure they teased them and pushed them to the brink
I don't believe this guy is guilty and if he is, it's impossible for him to have done it alone... There had to be at least 2 killers but I believe there were 4.
@@RobotRebelCinema I’ll never get over the housemates. They clearly weren’t in shock because they were texting each other all night and then notified half the campus before calling the police.
@@Vivianamarie01 then how did the sororities know before the police were even called and why was there a bunch of their friends there that morning? It wasn’t the housemates that called 911.
😢 so heartbreaking. Maddie looks just like her mum. Her mother is sweet. Such a kind soul. ❤

Wow so glad to see more of her real family now speaking about Maddie ❤ Bless her
I think about these 4 innocent beautiful souls often. Such a sad case😢😢.

Karen if you see this, im keeping you & family in my prayers. Maddie is your twin, thank you for sharing. God bless you 💟.

I lost my best friend years ago too, this brought me so much peace, I can’t even begin to tell you. Thank you. ❤

No need to compare how they were lost. Losing a child would be the hardest thing for anyone to go through. I’m so sorry for your loss.
We are Idahoans and we have been and are grieving for the Idaho 4. ❤❤❤❤ Continued prayers for the families. 🙏

The questions and way of questioning was poorly put together.

Wow, Maddie looked just like her mom. What a sweet lady.
God bless all parents in their grief journey, their children are all beautiful and will always be remembered with love ❤❤❤❤
So sad!! Madison looked just like her mom…

Awe, she looks so much like her mommy 🫂🫶
Karen and Maddie looked so much alike. What a beautiful soul Karen also has. So good to hear her speak.
Wow just looking at her mom .. just wow. 😭😭😭
Your daughter is still with you.
you and your family are in my prayers

Maddie looks so much like her mom. Maddie is trying to let her know she is ok.
Why does justice take YEARS? and years ? to resolve? it’s not right…
Because they don't have the real killer and they're scourging to make up evidence to make him look as guilty as possible. The guy is a scapegoat, there is no way one person committed this crime.

@@RobotRebelCinemayou nailed it.
Because the town and university are involved imo
@@RobotRebelCinema🙄
Wow.. Maddie looked like her mother.. so sorry for her loss.
RIP Maddie 🙏
Why does Kalee's parents act like they raised Maddie?? Odd imho
Because in a way they did. Maddie was an only child and was in their lives since she was a child to a teenager. They went to family trips together and she was like a sixth child to them. If they give you this feeling from an interview it means they want to show the world that it felt like they lost two children that night.

Hoda and Savannah! I know you work for the machine…..all of that aside….BEAUTIFUL INTERVIEW. ❤️💪🏼

Rest in peace Ethan, Xana, Kaylee and Maddie.
YES MADDIE LOOKS LIKE HER MOM.
I cannot believe its already been 2 years
😢❤

Rest in peace Maddie Ethan Zana Kaylee
They’re accusing someone innocent
God be with the family ✝️ Rest in Heaven ✝️ All Gods angels are in Heaven ✝️🕊️🇺🇸
She looks like her 😊
This is tragic
❤❤ 😢😢
Why does it take so long for his trial the parent’s have to be going through it over and over again 😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 she looks just like her mom ❤
The trial being done or ongoing is not going to change these parents’ having this run through their minds over and over again.
Start the trial already. This is dragging on too long.
So sad she looks exactly like hwr mom 😢

I was thinking the same thing,this trial is taking way to long . They seem to be accommodating him, why.

Real good journalism... more than a little jury tampering, guilty or not...
BK is not guilty. The real killers are Aryan knights ....this was drug related retaliation. Ask Steve G. He knows .
I don't believe this guy is guilty and if he is, it's impossible for him to have done it alone... There had to be at least 2 killers but I believe there were 4.

You know the only reason why this story got a ton of coverage was cause of looks right? Man I hate media sometimes, it's such a scam
