The other students were Kaylee's housemates Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle and Xana's boyfriend Ethan Chapin.
"One year ago today (around 10am) I saw Kaylee for the last time," read a post from Kaylee's family member on the official Facebook page for the family.
"I watched her put Murphy in her backseat and pull out of the driveway in her new little Range Rover. She was so proud and happy. I know I ask for a lot of prayers but please pray for us today...thank you all!!!"
Along with the post were several photos of Kaylee with her family, including one image of her while skiing.

Other photos had Kaylee with her friends, including Madison who had been friends with Kaylee since they were children.
"These girls were absolutely beautiful. They’ve been friends since sixth grade … Every day they did homework together, they came to our house together, they shared everything," Steven Goncalves, Kaylee's father, said in a candlelight vigil last December.
"And in the end, they died together, in the same room, in the same bed. And it’s a shame, and it hurts."
'MAKES ME SICK'
The post comes as the Goncalves family demands that Kaylee's alleged killer, Bryan Kohberger, no longer receive pre-trial special treatment.

Kohberger has maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and one charge of burglary.
While awaiting trial, the families of the victims and the 28-year-old suspect have appeared in court for a series of hearings.
Goncalves' mother Kristi told NewsNation that Kohberger's behavior and appearance in court make her sick.
"It makes me sick that he sits there in his suit, and he sits there and taps his hands," she said.
She noted her shock and disgust at Kohberger "not in handcuffs, not in shackles, one or the other, or both, and in orange."
The suspect initially attended hearings in court wearing the traditional orange jumpsuit but shortly after he began wearing a suit and tie.
This isn't the first time as Steven previously told Fox News Digital that he had been told that Kohberger has been given "five suits, video and computer special treatment, and vegan meals," while in custody.
The bereaved father added that this is "unprecedented in the history of Idaho."

Steve noted: "I witnessed the moment they agreed not to handcuff him in court.
"Regrettably, it seems that the judge and prosecutor are overly concerned with accommodating the defense, leaving us, the advocates for our children, with no choice but to step forward."
