What this timeline establishes

Collection events found in the reviewed ISP reports and custody records. Names stay redacted where the reports redact them. A sample does not establish involvement or a DNA match. This is not an exhaustive roster, and redactions prevent a reliable unique-person count.

Dates, methods and source references

Dates follow the event narratives rather than report-writing dates. Amber labels mark date or time conflicts. Custody entries describe transfers or booking, not collection. “DNA sample” means the narrative does not specify the sampling method. PDF page references use the viewer’s page numbers.
