EVIDENCE DESCRIPTION:

Item 125.1: Submitted swab of stain on trash can in best west bo bedroom on floor 2 (Marker T)
Item 125.2: Submitted swab of stain on chair in west west bedroom on floor 2 (Marker U) bedro
Item 126: Submitted swab of stain ain on on east east bedroom door on floor 3 (Marker X)
Item 127: DNA extracts from Items 125.1, 125.2, and 126
CONCLUSIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS:

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Analysis (S, employing the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), was used to generate a Short Tandem Repeat Repeat (STR) profile from a portion of Items 125.1, 125.2, and 126.1 The DNA profiles obtained from from Items 125.1 and 125.2 match that previously 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 12.1 septillion (1.21 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.

Laboratory Case Number: M2022-4843 Report No.:
31 The DNA profile obtained from Item 126 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 121 septillion (1.21 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 4.67 septillion (4.67 x 1024) 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.
