Spreadsheet / staffing scheduleI4-DOC-0016

Moscow Police Patrol and Campus Schedule — 12–13 Nov 2022

A one-sheet PowerTime report listing Moscow Police shifts, time off, on-call duty, football-game overtime, and special overtime spanning November 12–13, 2022. It identifies 28 schedule entries and separately lists three Campus Division / U of I–Greek System liaisons. Of particular timeline interest, the evening patrol roster shows Casey Green, Nate Rosendahl, Bransen Stirk, and Jay Waters on 6 p.m.–6 a.m. shifts, with Jacob Tesdahl on 9 p.m.–5 a.m. special overtime for a plain-clothes alcohol emphasis. A schedule records planned staffing, not continuous location, activity, dispatch assignment, or proof that every listed person worked every minute shown.

Redacted found-property / deputy reportI4-DOC-0018

Latah County Found Property Report — KA-BAR Knife and Sheath, Genesee

A six-page Latah County Sheriff's Office report for incident 23L-1392 documenting a KA-BAR knife and black sheath found on the ground near trees at the top of Ash Street near Spruce Street in Genesee, Idaho on March 19, 2023. The reporting party said children found it while playing. Deputy L. Whiting described a black knife with a handle wrapped in black tape-like material, a black sheath, and some rust and dust suggesting it had been in dirt for some time. Property record 1440 lists serial marking “1482 TAIWAN,” a nominal value of $1, and found-property status. The report does not connect this knife to case 22-M09903, the King Road scene, or evidence 22M-1810.

Item 40 Blood Swab — Custody Report

A Moscow Police Department custody report for incident 22-M09903 and evidence number 22M-1839, described as “Item 40 Blood Swab” from the “F3 South closet wall.” It records booking at 9:34:47 a.m. on November 14, 2022 and receipt/booking at 4:59:25 p.m. on November 15, both associated with Brett Payne and the reason “Send to Lab.” It records legal-defense viewing by Jeff Talbott on April 7, 2023 for photography.

A Moscow Police Department custody report for incident 22-M09903 and evidence number 22M-2094, described as “Item 258 Swab,” brand “DNA Swab,” owner number 428834.

The log records booking by Dustin Blaker at 1:19:04 p.m. on November 23, 2022 and receipt/booking on November 25 with the reason “Driven back from Lab by 108.” It does not identify the swab subject, explain radio/identifier 108, report a DNA result, or include the laboratory chain before MPD booking.

Knife Sheath Evidence Log — 2026 Export

A later three-page export for the same MPD evidence number 22M-1810 / Item 11 K-BAR knife sheath documented in Record 017. It lists custody events from November 2022 through July 2025, including laboratory-related transfers and later review/location changes. This is a separate report export, not a second sheath or newly collected evidence item.

Redacted laboratory paperworkI4-DOC-0037

Othram Shipment Receipt and Chain of Custody

Othram shipping instructions plus duplicate shipment-receipt and chain-of-custody forms for submission/request 21128. The forms record one hand-delivered item from Dustin Blaker, received November 22, 2022 at 3:15 p.m., with no package damage checked. Visible case-ID and item-notes fields are blank, so the packet does not itself identify the evidence item or establish a connection to the knife sheath or another named exhibit.

Knife Sheath Release Receipt — Email Export

One of three preserved exports of a December 2, 2022 email exchange about sending a digital copy of the signed receipt documenting release of the knife sheath to an officer.

A four-page Moscow Police evidence/property receipt documenting items collected at the 1122 King Road scene. Legible entries include fingerprint lifts, swabs, electronic devices, a knife sheath, clothing, and other items tied to specific rooms or exhibit numbers.

ISP Forensic Services laboratory releaseI4-SRC-0312

D22000030 Forensics Documents — Released 31 Oct 2025

A 2,356-page Idaho State Police Forensic Services production centered on laboratory case M2022-4843 for Moscow Police case 22-M09903, with related ISP Investigations laboratory case M2022-4870 / D22000030 material. The release contains case jackets, submission and item inventories, chain-of-custody and location records, biology and DNA worksheets, STRmix output, CODIS-related documentation, latent-print processing and comparison reports, analyst notes, technical and administrative reviews, correspondence, discovery-packet histories, audit entries, and supporting forms. It records numerous submissions from November 2022 through June 2025 and references suspected biological stains, reference samples, DNA extracts, latent lifts, clothing and other evidence. Individual report language and statistical conclusions must be read in context; this archive record indexes the production and its searchable extraction rather than collapsing thousands of pages into a single forensic conclusion.

WSU Police reports and investigative recordsI4-WSU-3465

WSU Records Production — Installment Part 1

The first WSU production installment begins with WSU Police incident 22-W4386 and materials concerning assistance to Moscow Police after Bryan Kohberger’s arrest. It documents warrant preparation and service for apartment G201 at Steptoe Village and an office in Wilson-Short Hall, scene security, personnel involved, property/evidence handling, related reports, later administrative processing, and supporting communications. The extraction also contains BOLO, vehicle, public-records, FERPA/redaction, and follow-up material; individual pages must be consulted before attributing a statement or evidence item to a particular author.

WSU and Pullman agency correspondenceI4-WSU-3467

WSU Records Production — Installment Part 3

The third installment centers on interagency and WSU correspondence. It includes the November 28, 2022 law-enforcement-sensitive vehicle BOLO forwarded by Moscow Police; later messages about Kohberger’s WSU criminal-justice fellowship interview materials; and May 2023 requests for extra patrols around graduate-student housing during renewed media attention and the then-scheduled preliminary hearing. It also contains additional WSU, Pullman Police, Moscow Police, public-information, and administrative records.

WSU safety and investigative coordination recordsI4-WSU-3469

WSU Records Production — Installment Part 5

The fifth installment continues WSU safety and investigative-coordination records. It includes WSU’s response to community safety concerns, discussion of increased patrols and critical-incident coordination, correspondence about providing campus video to Moscow Police, prosecutor and Washington Attorney General communications concerning WSU records warrants, and other investigative or administrative follow-up extending beyond the immediate arrest period.

Arrest, vehicle, warrant, and agency-response recordsI4-WSU-3470

WSU Records Production — Installment Part 6

The sixth installment contains arrest announcements, agency-response records, warrant and evidence references, vehicle-identification communications, staff messages, and related WSU materials. It opens with the December 30, 2022 Moscow Police arrest release and includes later WSU discussion of how officers located a possible suspect vehicle near Kohberger’s residence. One January 5 message says the public affidavit’s vehicle-discovery timeline was not entirely correct and gives an alternate internal chronology: the BOLO email on November 28, a plate query early November 29, and an observation at the apartment complex shortly afterward. That statement is preserved as the author’s account and should be compared with dispatch, database, and sworn-record timestamps.

Search-warrant applications, warrants, and supporting recordsI4-WSU-3471

WSU Records Production — Installment Part 7

The seventh installment is warrant-focused. It includes Whitman County templates and completed application language for searching Kohberger’s Steptoe Village apartment and WSU office, descriptions of the premises, probable-cause material supplied by Idaho investigators, categories of property sought, supporting declarations, and related warrant/inventory records. Because the extraction can flatten checkboxes, signature blocks, exhibits, and inventories, the signed original pages—not this text layer—control the scope actually authorized and the items recorded as seized.
