• 0:46
  Speaker 1: view of the bloodstains on the body of Zanna Kernodel.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: The bloodstains on her legs exhibit many transferred stains, wipe stains,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and flow stains. B. Numerous transfer and saturation stains are
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: noted on her sweatshirt. Fifty-five. On the right thigh of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Zanna Kernodel, a pattern transfer is indicated by the yellow
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: arrow in image ISP 4927 cropped. An object with a
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: similar pattern either transferred the blood to her right thigh
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: or contacted an existing blood stain on her upper right
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: thigh while it was still wet. Fifty-six. The white nightstand
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: depicted in image ISP 5077 shows transfers and wipes on

  Speaker 1: the side closest to the bed and on top surface. A.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: The front edge of the nightstand has been moved away
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: from the bed in order to make room for a
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: bloody object that created the transfer on the side of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the nightstand to allow room for the drip stains noted
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in the floor. B. Drip stains and and drip trails
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: are noted on the bottom shelf of the nightstand and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: on the floor between the bed and the nightstand. Drip
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: stains and trails are created when a surface, wet with blood,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: is above the level of the surface showing deposition. C.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Spatter stains associated with impact are noted on the wall
• 2:05

• 3:01
  Speaker 1: A closer view of the spatter pattern is depicted in
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: DSC 4562. B. The appearance of the stains indicated by
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the yellow oval in DSC 4562 is consistent with diluted blood.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Diluted blood is created when blood is mixed with another liquid. I.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: The mouth and nose injuries of Xenocrinodal, as noted in
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the autopsy report, are potential sources of diluted blood. C.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: The shape of area of convergence of these spatter stains
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: indicate that the source of blood was slightly above the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: level of these stains. 60. Spatter stains associated with impact
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: are located on the wall to the right of the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: opening for the closet as depicted in image ISP 4740.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: The spatter is indicated by marker 29 in image DSC 4892. A.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: The appearance of these spatters is consistent with diluted blood. C.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: DSC 4892 cropped. I. The mouth and nose injuries of Xanocarnotl,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: as noted in the autopsy report, are potential sources of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: diluted blood. B. The directionality of the spatter stain is
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: from right to left, as indicated by the yellow arrow
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: inserted in image DSC 4892, cropped. C. These spatter stains
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: originated from an impact to a source of exposed blood

• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the trash can underneath the desk as depicted in image
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: DSC 4800 and DSC 4800 cropped, and indicated by marker T. A.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Swipe stains result from the transfer of blood from a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: blood-bearing surface onto another surface, with characteristics that indicate relative
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: motion between the two surfaces. B. Testing showed the presence
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of blood of Xanocarnotl. Upper portion of Xanocarnotl's bedroom door, 63.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: DSC 4781 depicts the upper portion of Xanocarnotl's bedroom door.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: The bloodstains are depicted and indicate a Cast-off pattern composed
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of diluted blood and associated flow patterns. 1. Cast-off is
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: created when blood is released as a result of a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: bloodied object in motion. 2. The appearance of the bloodstains
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: reveal the blood has been diluted by another liquid. 1.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: The mouth and nose injuries of Xanocarnotl, as noted in
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the autopsy report, are potential sources of diluted blood. 3.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Flow patterns in this instance are are the result of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: gravitational attraction. Lower portion of Xanakernodle's bedroom door and adjacent floor. 64.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: DSC 4784 shows the lower portion of Xanakernodle's bedroom door
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: exterior surface. A. Stain 36 indicates diluted flow stains on
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the exterior surface of the bedroom door. 1. The appearance
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of these stains indicates that the blood has been diluted
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: with another liquid, altering their appearance. 2. Subsequent testing of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: these flow stains on the exterior of the bedroom door
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: indicates the blood of Xanocurnodal. 3. The mouth and nose
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: injuries of Xanocurnodal, as noted in the autopsy report, are
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: potential sources of diluted blood. B. Drip stains were noted
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: on the bedroom floor below the door. This relative location
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of the drip stains is indicated by a pink marker
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: on the floor in images DSC 4784. These drip stains
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: are better visualized In image DSC 4787. 1. These drip
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: stains do not appear to have been altered or diluted. C.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: The location of these drip stains near the opening edge
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: of the bedroom door represents the furthermost location of undiluted blood. D.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Once Zanna Kernodel was actively bleeding, there is no physical
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: evidence that she was ever east of this location. Conclusions.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: There's no physical evidence that any of the decedents were
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: outside of their respective bedrooms after sustaining significant bloodletting injuries.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: The only decedent to move from the bed and or
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: be standing upright after actively bleeding was anachronotal. 2. Someone
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: other than the decedents had a source of blood on
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: their person or in their possession and is responsible for
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the creation of the bloodstains in the following locations. A.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Madison Mogan's bedroom door. B. Stairway leading from the third
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: level to the second level. C. Stairway leading from the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: second level to the first level. D. Diluted stain on
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: top of the beer pong table on the second level. E.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Half wall near the end of the beer pong table
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: on the second level. F. Wooden ledge on the half
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: wall on the second level. 3. Presence of diluted bloodstains
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: outside of the respective bedrooms indicates that the person, persons
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: responsible for the creation of these bloodstains, also caused their dilution. 4.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: The cast-off bloodstains on the half-wall at the end of
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the beer pong table and in the stairwell between second
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and first floor indicate that the source of the diluted
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: blood was in motion. 5. Presence of diluted blood from
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Kaylee Gonsalves and Madison Mogan in the cast-off bloodstains on
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the half-wall at the end of the beer pong table
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and in the stairwell opening between the second and first
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: floors establishes that Ms. Gonsalves and Ms. Mogan had already
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: been injured and that the source of their blood had
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: been mixed with another liquid before the cast-off stains were created. 6.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Transfer stain D on the north side of the wooden
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: ledge of the half wall in the living room, which
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: was identified as containing the blood of Ethan Chapin in
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the only undiluted blood stains identified outside of the bedroom. 7.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: The knife sheath recovered from the bed of Madison Mogan
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: had DNA associated with Brian Kohlberger and blood spatters associated
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: with with an impact delivered to Kaylee Gonsalves and Madison Mogan. 8.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: There is no physical evidence to indicate that a significant
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: amount of time elapsed during the commission of this violent activity. 9.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: There is no physical evidence to exclude a single perpetrator
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: causing the death of these four individuals. 10. There is
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: no scientific basis to predict the necessary occurrence of secondary
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: footwear transfer stains due to the overall lack of visible
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: footwear patterns in the entire crime scene. The findings are
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: based upon the material provided to date. Submission of additional
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: material could alter these conclusions. Respectfully submitted, T. Paulette Sutton
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Alright folks, we're going to wrap up right here and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: in the next episode we're going to pick up where
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: we left off. And that's going to be with the rebuttals.
