The DNA profile previously obtained from Item 1.4 (See Report No. 4, issued 11/20/2022) indicates a mixture of DNA with a major profile. Assuming a two person mixture, ███████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ are excluded as being contributors to this DNA mixture. The DNA profile previously obtained from Item 6.1 (See Report No. 7, issued 11/23/2022) indicates a mixture of DNA. Assuming a two person mixture, ████████████████████████████████████████ ███████████████████████████████████ are ████████████████████████████████████████ excluded as being contributors to this DNA mixture. The DNA profile previously obtained from Item 9.1 (See Report No. 7, issued 11/23/2022) indicates a mixture of DNA with a major profile. Assuming a two person mixture, ███████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ are excluded as being contributors to this DNA mixture. The DNA profile previously obtained from Item 10.1 (See Report No. 7, issued 11/23/2022) indicates a mixture of DNA with a major profile.

Page 2 of 5 Laboratory Case Number: M2022-4843 Report No.: 13 The DNA profile previously obtained from Item 13.1 (See Report No. 7, issued 11/23/2022) indicates a mixture of DNA, assumed to be from three individuals, with a major profile. Based on the likelihood ratio result 0.0224, it is inconclusive whether ██████████████████ is a potential contributor to this DNA profile. Based on the likelihood ratio result 0.0234, it is inconclusive whether ███████████████ is a potential contributor to this DNA profile. Based on the likelihood ratio result 0.186, it is inconclusive whether ██████████████ is a potential contributor to this DNA profile. Based on the likelihood ratio result 0.0344, it is inconclusive whether ████████████████ is a potential contributor to this DNA profile. Based on the likelihood ratio result 0.257, it is inconclusive whether ███████████████ is a potential contributor to this DNA profile. ████████ are excluded as being contributors to this ████████████████████████████████████████ DNA mixture. The DNA profile obtained from Item 23 indicates a mixture of DNA with a major profile, which matches that previously obtained from the known reference sample of Kaylee Goncalves (See Item 14, Report No. 4 issued 11/20/2022). Assuming a two person mixture, this DNA profile is at least 723 septillion (7.23 x 1026) times more likely to be seen if it were the result of a mixture of DNA from Kaylee Goncalves and an unrelated, randomly selected individual than if it resulted from two unrelated individuals randomly selected from the general population. Madison Mogen (See Item 11, Report No. 4 issued 11/20/2022) is a potential contributor to the minor component of this mixture. Assuming a two person mixture, this DNA profile is at least 114 septillion (1.14 x 1026) times more likely to be seen if it were the result of a mixture of DNA from Madison Mogen and an unrelated, randomly selected individual than if it resulted from two unrelated individuals randomly selected from the general population. Ethan Chapin (Item 5), Xana Kernodle (████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ Item 8), ████████████████████████████████████████ ███████████████ are excluded as contributors to ████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ this DNA mixture. The DNA profile obtained from Item 24 matches that previously obtained from the known reference sample of Madison Mogen. This DNA profile is at least 25.6 octillion (2.56 x 1028) times more likely to be seen if Madison Mogen is the source than if an unrelated individual randomly selected from the general population is the source. The DNA profile obtained from Item 30 indicates a mixture of DNA with a major profile, which was determined to be from an unknown male (Male B). Assuming a three person mixture, two additional unknown individuals are potential contributors to the minor profile. Due to the low level results and limited data, no conclusions can be made ████████████████████████████████████████ regarding the minor contributors. Ethan Chapin, ████ ████████████████████████████████████████ are ████████████████████████████████████████ not the source of the major male DNA profile from this item. Page 3 of 5 Laboratory Case Number: M2022-4843 Report No.: 13 The DNA profile obtained from Item 31.1 indicates a mixture of DNA with a major profile, which matches that previously obtained from the known reference sample of Ethan Chapin. Assuming a two person mixture, this DNA profile is at least 968 octillion (9.68 x 1029) times more likely to be seen if it were the result of a mixture of DNA from Ethan Chapin and an unrelated, randomly selected individual than if it resulted from two unrelated individuals randomly selected from the general population. Due to the low level results and limited data, no conclusions can be made regarding the minor contributor. The DNA profiles obtained from Items 37.1 and 37.2 were determined to be from the same unknown male (Male C). Ethan Chapin, ████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ are not the source of the DNA profiles from these items. The DNA profiles obtained from Items 38 and 39 match that previously obtained from the known reference sample of ██████████████ 1. This DNA profile is at least 80.4 nonillion (8.04 x 1031) times more likely to be seen if John Showalter is the source than if an unrelated individual randomly selected from the general population is the source. The partial DNA profile obtained from Item 40.1 was determined to be from an unknown male (Male D). Ethan Chapin, ████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ are not the source of the DNA profile from this item. The partial DNA profile obtained from Item 40.4 indicates a mixture of DNA with a major profile. Assuming a two person mixture, a second unknown individual is a potential contributor to the minor profile. The same unknown male (Male D) from Item 40.1 is a potential contributor to the major DNA profile. Due to the low level results and limited data, no conclusions can be made regarding the minor contributor. The partial DNA profile obtained from Item 1.5 indicates a mixture of DNA from two individuals. Due to the low level results and limited data, no comparisons can be made. Due to insufficient quantity or degradation, only a partial DNA profile, consisting of two alleles, was obtained from Item 40.2. Due to the low level results and limited data, no conclusions can be made. Due to insufficient quantity or degradation, only a partial DNA profile, consisting of a single allele, was obtained from Item 29.1. Due to the low level results and limited data, no conclusions can be made. Due to insufficient quantity or degradation, only a partial DNA profile, consisting of a single allele, was obtained from Item 40.3. Due to the low level results and limited data, no conclusions can be made. Due to insufficient quantity or degradation, no DNA profile was obtained from Item 29.3. DNA extraction and quantification, employing real-time PCR, were performed on Item 29.2. No DNA was detected on Item 29.2. No further testing was conducted on this item. The major unknown male (Male B) DNA profile obtained from Item 30, the unknown male (Male C) DNA profile obtained from Item 37.1, and the partial unknown male (Male D) DNA profile obtained from Item 40.1 are not eligible for entry into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). Page 4 of 5 Laboratory Case Number: M2022-4843 Report No.: 13 Further interpretation may be performed upon submission of a known reference sample from any additional relevant individual (s). DISPOSITION OF EVIDENCE: Items 29.1, 29.3, 30, 40.1, 40.2, and 40.3 and their DNA extracts were consumed during testing. Items 23, 29.2, and 31.1 were consumed during testing; however, DNA extract remains for these items. All other items and the empty packaging for Items 23, 29.1, 29.2, 29.3, 30, and 31.1 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.
