DNA Conclusions1. The DNA typing profi les obtained from exhibit FC-6 [2 pieces of grey carpet (larger piece), areas AA and AC]are those of an unknown individual. These male profiles have been personally designated as Individual A2. The ONA typing profile obtained from exhibit FC-6 [2 pieces of grey carpet (larger piece), area AB] matchesthat of Individual A at 8 genetic regions.3. The quantity of DNA obtained from exhibits FC-6 [2 pieces of grey carpet (smaller piece), area AD] and NA-1 (3

pairs underwear, area AQ) does not meet the minimum requirement for further processing.4. No human DNA was obtained from exhibits NA-1 (3 pairs of underwear, areas AA, AB, AC, AM, AN, AO, AP,and AR), NA-62B (baseball cap, area AA), and NA-62C (electric razor, areas AA and AB).

I Remarks:1. All exhibits will be returned. A complete record of exhibit continuity (receipt, examination and disposition) withinthe National Forensic Services is available upon request by contacting the Case Receipt Unit via the CanadianPolice Services Information Centre (CPSIC) at 1-866-677-5227, by fax at (613) 993-7103 or by email at [email protected]. DNA typing profiles wereJ1enerated using established Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) procedures within theAmpFISTR Profiler Plus system. AmpFISTR Profiler Plus is a Short Tandem Repeat (STR) multiplex whichtests the following genetic regions of the ONA molecule: 03S1358, vWA, FGA, amelogenin, D8S1179,021S11, 018S51, 05S818, 0138317 and 078820.

DNA Conclusions1. The DNA typing profiles obtained from exhibit FC-6 [2 pieces of grey carpet (larger piece) from vehicle, areasAA and AC], previously designated as Individual A, match the profiles obtained from exhibits NA-123 (swabfrom drinking glass), NA-124 (3 drinking straws, area AA), NA-125 (swab from razor charger/cleaner), NA-128

(swab from juice bottle), NA-129 (swab from juice bottle), and NA-131A (swab from fork) (exhibits reportedlyseized from the residence of ALTINGER, Johnny Brian). The estimated probability of selecting an unrelatedindividual at random from the Canadian Caucasian population with the same profile is 1 in 47 tril lion.

2. The DNA typing profile obtained from exhibit FC-6 [2 pieces of grey carpet (larger piece) from vehicle, areaAB1,matches the profiles obtained from exhibits NA-123 (swab from drinking glass), NA-124 (3 drinking straws,area AA), NA-125 (swab from razor charger/cleaner), NA-128 (swab from juice bottle), NA-129 (swab from juicebottle), NA-131A (swab from fork), NA-131B (swab from fork), and NA-132 (nail clippers, area AA) (exhibitsreportedly seized from the residence of ALTINGER, Johnny Brian) at 8 genetic regions. The estimatedprobability of selecting an unrelated individual at random from the Canadian Caucasian population with thesame profile is 1 in 1.5 trill ion. The significance of the association increases with the number of genetic regionsinvolved in determining the match.3. The donor of the DNA typing profile obtained from exhibit NA-130 (swab from lemonade bottle) is not thesource of the DNA obtained from exhibit FC-6 [2 pieces of grey carpet (larger piece) from vehicle, areas AA,AB, and AC]. The DNA typing profile obtained from exhibit NA-130 (swab from lemonade bottle) is that of anunknown male individual and has been personally designated as Individual B.4. The partial DNA typing profile obtained from exhibit NA-131C (swab from fork) is that of a male individual. Thedonor of the profiles obtained from exhibits NA-123 (swab from drinking glass), NA-124 (3 drinking straws, areaAA), NA-125 (swab from razor charger/cleaner), NA-128 (swab from juice bottle), NA-129 (swab from juicebottle), NA-131A (swab from fork), NA-131B (swab from fork), snd NA-132 (nail cl ippers, area AA) cannot beexcluded as a possible contributor of this partial profile.5. No human DNA was obtained from exhibits NA-124 (3 drinking straws, area AB) and NA-132 (nail clippers,areaAB).

13. The male DNA typing profile obtained from exhibit NA-130 (swab from lemonade bott le) (Individual B) will beentered into the Crime Scene Index of the National DNA Data Bank of Canada. In the event of a DNA match,you will be contacted. It is the responsibil ity of the investigating agency to request the removal of profiles whenrequired by law.4. The DNA typing profile from exhibit FC-6 [2 pieces of grey carpet (larger piece) from vehicle, area AA](Individual A) will be removed from the Crime Scene Index of the National DNA Data Bank of Canada.5.

DNA Conclusions1. It is 600 million times more likely that the DNA evidence would be observed if the donor of exhibit NA-124(three drinking straws - area AA) is/was a biological child of the donor of the known sample, exhibit NA-160

(ALTINGER, Elfriede), and is/was the sibling of the donor of the known sample, exhibit NA-162 (ALTINGER,Gary), rather than an unrelated individual selected at random from the Canadian Caucasian population. Alikelihood ratio greater than 10 000 indicates very strong evidence of parentage/relatedness *.The DNA typing profiles obtained from exhibits NA-160 and NA162 were not compared to questioned samples .

2. The DNA typing profile obtained from exhibit NA-124 (three drinking straws - area AA) [reportedly seized fromthe residence of ALTINGER, Johnny Brian - see Forensic Laboratory Report Two] is presumed to be that ofALTINGER, Johnny Brian and will be referred to as such for the remainder of this report.

Residence of ALTINGER, Johnny Brian3. The DNA typing profile obtained from exhibit NA-133 (swab of computer mouse), matches that of the knownsample, exhibit NA-124 (ALTINGER, Johnny Brian) at 7 genetic regions. The estimated probability of selectingan unrelated individual at random from the Canadian Caucasian population with the same profile is 1 in 39billion. The significance of the association increases with the number of genetic regions involved in determiningthe match.4. The DNA typing profile obtained from exhibit NA-134 (swab of computer keyboard) is of mixed origin consistentwith having originated from two individuals, at least one of whom is male. The donor of the known sample,exhibit NA-124 (ALTINGER, Johnny Brian), cannot be excluded as a possible contributor to this mixed profile.

Individual B, Individual C (see conclusion # 21), and the donors of the known samples, exhibits NA-151(TWITCHELL, Mark Andrew) and NA-161 (TETREAULT, Giles), are not contributors to this mixed profile.

Vehicle (Pontiac Grand Am)5. The DNA typing profiles obtained from exhibits NA-2A (knife in sheath - areas AA, AB, AC, AD, and AE), NA-12 (steak knife - area AA), and NA-60 (duffle bag - area AA) match that of the known sample, exhibit NA-124(ALTINGER, Johnny Brian). The estimated probabil ity of selecting an unrelated individual at random from theCanadian Caucasian population with the same profile is 1 in 47 tril lion.6. The DNA typing profile obtained from exhibit NA-2A (knife in sheath - area AF) matches that of the knownsample, exhibit NA-124 (ALTINGER, Johnny Brian), at 7 genetic regions. The estimated probabil ity of selectingan unrelated individual at random from the Canadian Caucasian population with the same profi le is 1 in 39billion. The significance of the association increases with the number of genetic regions involved in determining

the match.7. The partial DNA typing profile obtained from exhibit NA-2A (knife in sheath - area AG) is of mixed originconsistent with having originated from more than two individuals, at least one of whom is male. Due to thelarge number of possible contributors and the weakness of some components, no meaningful comparison canbe made to any sample.8. The DNA typing profile obtained from exhibit NA-60 (duffle bag - area AB) is of mixed origin consistent withhaving originated from two individuals, at least one of whom is male. The profi le of the major componentmatches that of the known sample, exhibit NA-124 (ALTINGER, Johnny Brian). The estimated probabil ity ofselecting an unrelated individual at random from the Canadian Caucasian population with the same profi le is 1in 47 trillion.

The donor of the known sample, exhibit NA-151 (TWITCHELL, Mark Andrew), cannot be excluded as apossible contributor to this mixed profile.Individual B, Individual C (see conclusion # 21), and the donor of the known sample, exhibit NA-161(TETREAULT, Giles) are not contributors to this mixed profile.

[email protected]. DNA typing profiles were generated using established Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) procedures within theAmpFISTR Profiler Plus and COfiler systems. AmpFISTR Profiler Plus is a Short Tandem Repeat(STR) multiplex which tests the following genetic regions of the DNA molecule: D3S1358, vWA, FGA,amelogenin, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317 and D7S820. AmpFISTR COfiler is a ShortTandem Repeat (STR) multiplex which tests the following genetic regions: D3S1358, D16S539, amelogenin,TH01, TPOX, CSF1 PO and D7S820.3. The DNA typing profiles obtained from exhibits NA-28 (hockey mask - area AC) and NA-108 (metal pipe - areaAA) (Individual C) were entered into the Crime Scene Index of the National DNA Data Bank of Canada. In theevent of a DNA match, you will be contacted. It is the responsibil ity of the investigating agency to request theremoval of profiles when required by law.4. The DNA typing profiles obtained from known exhibits NA-160 (ALTlNGER, Elfriede) and NA-162 (ALTINGER,Gary) were entered into the Local Investigative Index of the National Centre for Forensic Services - Alberta.These profiles will be retained on file at this laboratory.5. Information reported in this document applies only to the exhibits tested. This report is intended to be used asa complete document including any named appendices and attachments.6.
