Item 2-3.2.1, swabs from the middle of the black exercise band

Katarina Stashyn interpreted the black-band middle sample as a three-contributor mixture, with its highest individual likelihood ratio of 1.6 nonillion for Cora Clancy and only limited support for Lindsay Clancy at a ratio of 11. She explained that relatedness affected interpretation and that each person's statistic was calculated independently. Assuming three contributors and Cora's inclusion, the other four family members could not all be present together, but she did not exclude each of them individually.
