Field Notes: ████████████████████████
On 12/30/22 at approximately 0705 PST, Forensic Scientists (FS) Hailey Youngling, Jennie Ayers and I responded to █████████████████████████ Pullman, Washington to assist in a homicide investigation.

Jeffory Talbott with Idaho State Police District 2 (ISP D2) and Dustin Blaker with Moscow Police Department arrived to the residence with us. Deputy Chief Dawn Daniels with Washington State University Police Department (WSU PD) was present upon our arrival. The scene was not secured at this time. The temperature was approximately 33 degrees Fahrenheit and the weather was snowy and wet.

███████████████████████ is a beige six-plex apartment building with a maroon / brown colored ████ on the exterior. Apartment ███████ is on the second floor on the east side of the building. The second floor staircase is flush with the surrounding sidewalk and has a single flight of stairs going up. The entryway to apartment ███████ is directly east of the staircase.

The interior of apartment ███████ was well kept and sparsely furnished. There are two bedrooms, one bathroom with a separate water closet, a living room and a kitchen. The entryway door enters to the living room. The living room was furnished with a two-seat sofa on the east wall. There was a coffee table and a rug in front of the sofa. On the west wall, there was a television stand with a television and various books on the interior shelving. In the southwest corner of the living room, there was a disconnected air conditioning type unit. The south wall of the living room has a door that opens to the exterior patio. To the north of the television stand, there was a table with one lamp, powered off. On the north wall of the living room, there is a closet. East of the closet (on the north side of the apartment) are two bedrooms, one on the west side, one on the east side. The northwest bedroom was unfurnished and was locked prior to entry. There are two empty 2-door closets located on the west Page 1 of 3

Laboratory Case Number: M2022-4843 Report No.: 25 wall. The door to the northeast bedroom is in the northwest corner of the room. Along the west wall there was a table that contains a computer tower and electronics. A bed was against the north wall.

The east wall contains two 2-door closets. To the south of the closet, there was a stool with folded white towels, a small white trash bin and a white laundry basket. The bathroom is located to the south of the northeast bedroom. The kitchen is located to the south of the bathroom. There was a fridge in the northwest corner of the kitchen. To the east of the fridge is a sink. The stove and oven was on the east wall. There were various kitchen appliances on the counter including a dishrack, an electric can opener, a microwave, coffee makers and a bean grinder. The kitchen cabinets contained various food items, dishes, cooking utensils, pots and pans. On the south wall of the kitchen, there was a table with shelving and one stool.

I photographed the exterior and interior of the apartment for overall location, identification and condition.

FS Ayers captured images using the LizQ Imaging System.

FS Ayers performed presumptive tests for the presence of blood on 51 areas inside the apartment.

Positive results, indicating the presence of blood, were obtained on two stains from the bedding of the northeast bedroom. A cutting was collected from a pillow in the northeast bedroom (marker B) and a mattress cover was collected from the bed in the northeast bedroom (marker C). A third stain (marker A) was collected from the kitchen countertop but was not tested, due to the size and condition.

Blood was not detected on twelve stains tested in the kitchen, fifteen stains tested in the northeast bedroom, seventeen stains tested in the bathroom, and five stains tested in the living room.

I collected eleven items from the apartment. I collected five items from the north wall closet: one nitrile type black colored glove (marker 1), one " Walmart " receipt with one " Dickies " tag (marker 2), two " Marshalls " receipts (marker 3), one dust canister from " Bissell PowerForce " vacuum (marker 4), eight possible hair strands from the head of the " Libman " broom (marker 5). I collected one " FireTV " stick with cord and plug from the living room television (marker 6). I collected one possible hair strand from the east wall in the bathroom (marker 8) and one possible hair strand inside the shower drain in the bathroom (marker 9). I collected three items from the northeast bedroom: one possible animal hair strand (marker 7), one possible hair strand from the computer pad in the northeast bedroom (marker 10), and one possible hair strand from a pillow in the northeast bedroom (marker 11). FS Ayers collected one computer tower in the northeast bedroom (marker 12).

We cleared the scene at approximately 1933 PST.
