IDAHO POLICE STATE IDAHO STATE POLICE FORENSIC SERVICES 700 South Stratford Drive, Ste 125 Meridian, ID 83642-6202 Phone: (208) 884-7170 Fax: (208) 884-7197 FORENSIC DNA REPORT Case Agency (s): Agency Case No (s).: Laboratory Case No.: MOSCOW POLICE DEPARTMENT 22-M09903 M2022-4843 XREF: M2022-4870 Date (s) of Offense: Investigating Officer (s): Report No.: 11/13/2022 Dustin Blaker 7 Date Evidence Accepted: Analyst: 11/18/2022 Jade Miller Case Name (s): Suspect █████████████████ Subject ███████████████████ Subject - ███████████████████████ Subject - ████████████ Victim-MADISON M MOGEN Victim-XANA A KERNODLE Victim-ETHAN J CHAPIN Victim-KAYLEE J GONCALVES EVIDENCE DESCRIPTION: Item 3: Submitted swab from F2 bedroom floor Item 4: Submitted swab and debris from F3 bedroom floor Item 6.1: Swab of right fingernail clippings from Ethan Chapin Item 7.1: Swab of left fingernail clippings from Ethan Chapin Item 9.1: Swab of right fingernail clippings from Xana Kernodle Item 10.1: Swab of left fingernail clippings from Xana Kernodle Item 12.1: Swab of right fingernail clippings from Madison Mogen Item 13.1: Swab of left fingernail clippings from Madison Mogen Item 15.1: Swab of right fingernail clippings from Kaylee Goncalves Item 16.1: Swab of left fingernail clippings from Kaylee Goncalves Item 20: DNA extracts from Items 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 7.1, 8, 9.1, 10.1, 11, 12.1, 13.1, 14, 15.1, 16.1, 17, 18, and 19 CONCLUSIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS: Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Analysis, employing the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), was used to generate a Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profile from Items 6.1, 7.1, 13.1, 15.1, 16.1, and a portion of Items 3, 9.1, 10.1, and 12.1.1 FOOTNOTES 1 Loci Examined: Amelogenin, D3S1358, D1S1656, D2S441, D10S1248, D13S317, Penta E, D165539, D18S51, D2S1338, CSF1PO, Penta D, TH01, vWA, D21S11, D7S820, D5S818, ΤΡΟΧ, DYS391, D8S1179, D12S391, D19S433, FGA, and D22S1045. Page 1 of 3 Laboratory Case Number: M2022-4843 Report No.: 7 The DNA profile obtained from Item 3 matches that obtained from the known reference sample of Xana Kernodle (See Item 8, Report No. 4 issued 11/20/2022). This DNA profile is at least 12.5 septillion (1.25 x 1025) times more likely to be seen if Xana Kernodle is the source than if an unrelated individual randomly selected from the general population is the source. The DNA profile obtained from Item 6.1 indicates a mixture of DNA. Xana Kernodle is a potential contributor to this DNA mixture. Assuming a two person mixture and that Ethan Chapin (See Item 5, Report No. 4 issued 11/20/2022) is a contributor, this DNA profile is at least 19.4 septillion (1.94 x 1025) times more likely to be seen if it were the result of a mixture of DNA from Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle than if it resulted from Ethan Chapin and an unrelated individual randomly selected from the general population. Madison Mogen (Item 11), Kaylee ████████████████████████████████████████ Goncalves (Item 14), █████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ are excluded as being contributors to this DNA mixture. The DNA profile obtained from Item 7.1 is consistent with that obtained from the known reference sample of Ethan Chapin. The DNA profile obtained from Item 9.1 indicates a mixture of DNA with a major profile, which is consistent with having come from Xana Kernodle. Ethan Chapin is a potential contributor to the minor component of this mixture. Assuming a two person mixture and that Xana Kernodle is a contributor, this DNA profile is at least 6,150 times more likely to be seen if it were the result of a mixture of DNA from Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin than if it resulted from Xana Kernodle and an unrelated individual randomly selected from the general population. ████████████████████████████████████████ are excluded as being contributors to this DNA mixture. The DNA profile obtained from Item 10.1 indicates a mixture of DNA with a major profile, which is consistent with having come from Xana Kernodle. Ethan Chapin is a potential contributor to the minor component of this mixture. Assuming a two person mixture and that Xana Kernodle is a contributor, this DNA profile is at least 8,340,000 times more likely to be seen if it were the result of a mixture of DNA from Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin than if it resulted from Xana Kernodle and an unrelated individual randomly selected from the general population. ████████████████████████████████████████ are excluded as being contributors to this DNA mixture. The DNA profile obtained from Item 12.1 is consistent with that obtained from the known reference sample of Madison Mogen. Page 2 of 3 Laboratory Case Number: M2022-4843 Report No.: 7 The DNA profile obtained from Item 13.1 indicates a mixture of DNA with a major profile, which is consistent with having come from Madison Mogen. Kaylee Goncalves is a potential contributor to this mixture. Assuming a three person mixture and that Madison Mogen is a contributor, this DNA profile is at least 77,900,000 times more likely to be seen if it were the result of a mixture of DNA from Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, and an unrelated, randomly selected individual than if it resulted from Madison Mogen and two unrelated individuals randomly selected from the general population. Based on the likelihood ratio result 0.399, it is inconclusive whether ████████████ is a potential contributor to this DNA profile. Based on the likelihood ratio result 0.485, it is inconclusive whether ███████████████ is a potential contributor to this DNA profile. Based on the likelihood ratio result 3.33, it is inconclusive whether Ethan Chapin is a potential contributor to this DNA profile. Based on the likelihood ratio result 0.201, it is inconclusive whether Xana Kernodle is a potential contributor to this DNA profile. Based on the likelihood ratio result 0.0233, it is inconclusive whether ██████████████ is a potential contributor to this DNA profile. ████████████████████████████████████████ are excluded as being contributors to this DNA mixture. The DNA profiles obtained from Items 15.1 and 16.1 are consistent with that obtained from the known reference sample of Kaylee Goncalves. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) extraction and quantification, employing real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), were performed on the swab from Item 4. No DNA was detected on Item 4. No further testing was conducted on this item. DISPOSITION OF EVIDENCE: Items 6.1, 7.1, 13.1, 15.1, 16.1, and the swab from Item 4 were consumed during testing; however, DNA extract remains for these items. All other items and the empty packaging for Items 4, 6.1, 7.1, 13.1, 15.1, and 16.1 have been returned to the main laboratory evidence vault for return to the submitting agency. REMARKS: The descriptions, conclusions and interpretations stated above apply to the sample (s) as received. I declare under penalty of perjury pursuant to the law of the State of Idaho that the foregoing is true and correct.
