Item 1.4: Swabs of stains on back of knife sheath
Item 2: DNA Extracts from Items 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4
Item 5: Reference blood card from Ethan Chapin
Item 8: Reference blood card from Xana Kernodle
Item 11: Reference blood card from Madison Mogen
Item 14: Reference blood card from Kaylee Goncalves
Item 17: Reference oral swabs from █████████████
Item 18: Reference DNA sample from ██████████████
Item 19: Reference DNA sample from ████████████████
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 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and a portion of Items 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 18, and 19. 1

Laboratory Case Number: M2022-4843 Report No.: 4 The DNA profile obtained from Item 1.1 was determined to be from an unknown male. Ethan Chapin,
████████████████████████████ (See Item 1, M2022-4870, Report No. 1 issued 11/20/2022) and ████
██████████ (See Item 2, M2022-4870, Report No. 1 issued 11/20/2022) are not the source of DNA on this item. This DNA profile was entered into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) to be routinely searched against the database. The case agency will be notified in the event of a profile match.

The DNA profile obtained from Item 1.4 indicates a mixture of DNA with a major profile, which matches that obtained from the known reference sample of Kaylee Goncalves. Assuming a two person mixture, this DNA profile is at least 757 septillion (7.57 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 is a potential contributor to the minor component of this mixture. Assuming a two person mixture, this DNA profile is at least 48.6 quintillion (4.86 x 1019) 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, Xana Kernodle, ████████████████████████████████████████
██████████████ are excluded as contributors to this DNA mixture.

The partial DNA profile obtained from Item 1.2 indicates a mixture of DNA from three individuals, at least one of which is male. Due to the low level results and limited data, no comparisons can be made.

The partial DNA profile obtained from Item 1.3 indicates a mixture of DNA from at least two individuals, at least one of which is male. Due to the low level results and limited data, no comparisons can be made.

DISPOSITION OF EVIDENCE:

Items 1.1 and 1.4 were consumed during testing; however, DNA extract remains for these items.

Items 1.2 and 1.3 and their DNA extracts were consumed during testing. Item 20 has been returned to the main laboratory evidence vault pending additional DNA analysis. All other items and the empty packaging for Items 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 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.
