I, Elizabeth Morgan Boydston aka Morgan Romero, declare and state as follows:
1. I am an Anchor and Investigative Reporter for KTVB News Group. As such, I have personal knowledge of the facts and statements contained in this declaration.

2. I have reported on the murders at the University of Idaho and the arrest and now prosecution of Bryan C. Kohberger. To provide fair and accurate reporting of information that would be valuable to the communities impacted by the murders, I asked Gary Jenkins, the Chief of Police at Washington State University, and Matt Young, the Communication Coordinator for the City of Pullman, whether Mr. Kohberger was ever offered a graduate assistant research position with the Pullman Police Department. They both declined to answer my question, stating that they were bound by a gag order issued in this case.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Idaho that the foregoing is true and correct.

DATED: June 1, 2023.
