One of six preserved mailbox exports of a May 9, 2023 exchange identifying the knife-sheath swabs and extracts. The exchange states that Lab Item 22 was a portion of the extract from swab 1.1, that Item 22 went to Othram, and that no material had been received back at the time of the email. It also records that whether any extract remained had to be confirmed with Othram.

An email thread discussing terminology and observations concerning the knife sheath, including the relationship between its leather strap and metal snap. The exchange is useful for interpreting related sheath photographs but should be read with the native lab notes and evidence log.
This source photograph shows a black fabric strap with a light-colored band and measurement scale. It is preserved as a discrete image because its angle, examiner marks, and evidence-card information may differ from adjacent photographs in the same series. The image documents visible condition only; item identity, collection location, date, ownership, and custody must be verified through the corresponding photo log and evidence report.
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.
