Missing Person Report On February 22, 2018, two men, identified as JL-P and PO, made a missing person report to the Burnsville Police Department concerning their friend Elizabeth Victoria Perrault, DOB: 10/31/1976 (?Perrault?). The report was taken by Officer Riviere. The men reported the following facts. The men had not seen or heard from Perrault since October 2017 and were suspicious about her disappearance. JL-P and Perrault usually communicated once a day. Since late October 2017, Perrault had not responded to any of his phone calls and had not been on Facebook, which was her usual form of communication. As of October 2017, Perrault rented and resided in an apartment at Chancellor Manor located in the City of Burnsville, Dakota County, Minnesota, and at that time, a male identified as Uriah David Schulz, DOB: 04/11/1978 (?Defendant?) resided with her. In what he believed to be late October 2017, JL-P was contacted by Defendant who told JL-P that Perrault was picked up by two white females in a white car to go get food. JL-P found this odd because it was unusual for Perrault to hang out with females. When asked, Defendant was unable to describe the two women or the car to JL-P. Two days later, Defendant called JL-P and told him that the two women who had picked up Perrault decided to bring her to an all-female treatment center in Richfield, MN. Two days after the phone call, Defendant showed up at house unannounced at approximately 7:00 am. Defendant was frantic and crying uncontrollably. JL-P calmed Defendant down. During this encounter, Defendant stated that he missed Perrault. Upon questioning by JL-P, Defendant again was unable to describe the two women that supposedly took Perrault to the treatment facility; he did not know the names of the women; and he did not have their phone numbers. After not hearing from Perrault for over a month, JL-P contacted Defendant to ask him if he knew the location of Perrault. Defendant was unwilling to answer questions and eventually stopped answering phone calls. Chancellor Manor After taking the missing person report on February 22, 2018, Officer Riviere went to the Chancellor 2 Manor leasing office to inquire about Perrault. While-there, Officer Riviere spoke with 'm as NJW who reported the following. The last rent payment made by Perrault was in November 2017, by a money order dated November 1, 2017. Perrault failed to pay the rent for December 2017 and January 2018. Staff at Chancellor Manor had not seen or heard from Perrault since November 1, 2017. Staff posted multiple notices on Perrault?s apartment door that went unanswered. The apartment was reclaimed by management. When the apartment was cleaned, staff only located miscellaneous pieces of furniture. None of Perrault?s personal items were located in the apartment. December 13. 2017. Welfare Check In reviewing police records, it was determined that on December 13, 2017, Perrault?s parents contacted the Burnsville Police Department and requested that officers conduct a welfare check of Perrault at her apartment because they had not heard from her for quite some time. Officers went to Perrault?s apartment on that date.

March 13. 2018. Search of Eadan Residence Following the search at Cochran House, officers executed a search warrant at the residence of Defendant?s mother and step-father located in Eagan. Amongst other things, the search warrant allowed for the seizure of any phones or electronic devices. Defendant?s mother was present during the search. During the search, officers located a broken cell phone that Defendant?s mother identified as belonging to Defendant. During the February 26, 2018, interview of Defendant, he described this cell phone as being one he used at the time of Perrault?s disappearance. The cell phone was a ZTE brand phone cell phone?). A search warrant was subsequently executed on the ZTE cell phone for the purpose of conducting a forensic search. In conducting this search, it was determined that the ZTE cell phone had connected to the free WiFi at Chancellor Manor on 1,707 occasions between October 14, 2017, and December 6, 2017. Approximately 184 of those connections occurred after November 1, 2017, which is the date Defendant stated was the last time he was at Chancellor Manor. March 14. 2018. Search of Lincoln Town Car On March 14, 2018, officers of the Burnsville Police Department executed a search warrant on a 1995 white Lincoln Town Car owned by Defendant?s step-father. According to Defendant?s mother, Defendant had used the vehicle until mid-December 2017. During the course of the search, the inside of the trunk was sprayed with a chemical bloodstain reagent. After doing so, a pattern of luminesce was observed on the carpet liner on the passenger side of the trunk. A presumptive test for blood was conducted of this area and tested positive for blood. DNA swabs were collected from this area for analysis. The trunk liner was removed from the vehicle and collected as evidence. DNA Analysis On March 7, 2018, DNA samples were collected from Perrault?s biological mother and father and submitted to the BCA Lab for analysis. DNA profiling was performed on both DNA samples. DNA profiling was performed on a swab of apparent blood collected from the wood floor in Perrault?s bedroom (BCA Lab Item 3). DNA analysis of Item 3 was determined to be a mixture of two or more individuals with a major female DNA profile. Kinship analysis was performed using the major female DNA profile obtained from the blood indicted on Item 3 and the DNA profiles obtained from Perrault?s biological parents. In performing this analysis, it was determined that it is approximately 9.8 quadrillion times more likely to observe from the 9 genetic results obtained under this scenario that the source of the major female DNA the blood indicated on Item 3 is a biological child of Perrault?s parents as compared to the source of the major female DNA profile obtained from the blood indicated on Item 3 being unrelated to Perrault?s parents. This is very strong evidence to support that the source of the major female DNA profile obtained from the blood indicated on Item 3 is a biological child of Perrault?s parents. Two swabs of apparent blood that were collected from the trunk of the Lincoln Town Car were submitted to the BCA Lab for DNA analysis (identified as Items 8 and 9 by the BCA Lab). Presumptive testing on Items 8 and 9 indicated the presence of blood. DNA profiling was performed on both Items 8 and 9. The DNA analysis of Items 8 and 9 revealed a mixture of two or more individuals with a major female DNA profile. The major DNA profile obtained from the blood on Items 8 and 9 matched the DNA profile obtained from the blood on Item 3, meaning that this is strong evidence to support that the source of the major female DNA profile obtained from the blood indicated on Items 8 and 9 is a biological child of Perrault?s parents. Perrault is the only biological child of her biological mother and father. Discoverv of Perrault?s Bodv On April 22, 2018, at approximately 3:12 pm, officers of the Burnsville Police Department were dispatched to Black Dog Road under the I-35W bridge on a report of a fisherman who found what he believed to be a dead body. Officers responded and located a dead body under the bridge in a small holding pond south of the Minnesota River. The body was badly decomposed and immediate identification could not be made. The body was removed from the water and transported to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner?s Office for identification and autopsy. Using dental records, the body was identified as being Perrault. At the time Perrault was removed from the pond, it was determined that she was wearing only a bathrobe. Her robed body was wrapped in a distinctive blanket and bound with two cords around her lower legs. The blanket was determined to be from Perrault?s apartment. An autopsy was conducted of Perrault on April 25, 2018. The manner of death was determined to be homicide. Due to the condition of Perrault?s body, the cause of death was not readily apparent. Based on the evidence, the medical examiner determined the immediate cause of death to be homicide of unspecified means. During the autopsy, evidence of blunt force trauma was noted to the right side of Perrault?s face. This evidence consisted of a fracture to a bone under her and fractures around the 10 cheek bone area. Because of the state of decomposition of Perrault?s body, no blood?was body to collect for purposes of DNA analysis. Examination of Robe The bathrobe in which Perrault was found was taken into evidence by the Burnsville Police Department. Officers examined the robe and discovered several puncture holes in the robe. Seven of the puncture holes were tested for the presence of human blood; and six of seven tested positive. The six locations were swabbed on the inside of the robe for DNA analysis. Samples 1, 2 and 3 were collected from the back area of the robe; sample 4 was collected from the neck area of the robe; sample 5 was collected from the outer flap over the robe; and sample 6 was collected from an inner area of the robe near multiple puncture holes. The samples collected were submitted to the BCA Lab for DNA analysis. DNA profiling was performed on sample 1 (BOA Item 14) and sample 2 (BOA Item 15). DNA analysis of Item 15 determined it to be a mixture of three or more individuals. The major female DNA profile matched the major female DNA profile obtained from Item 3, meaning there is very strong evidence to support that the source of the major female DNA profile obtained from the blood indicated on Item 15 is a biological child of Perrault?s parents. Due to insufficient genetic information, no statement could be made regarding the DNA types obtained from Item 14. June 27. 2018. Interview of Defendant On June 27, 2018, Detectives Klingfus and Litke conducted a third interview of Defendant at his mother?s residence in Eagan. During this interview, Defendant stated the following: . On the morning of November 1, 2017, Defendant went to Super America to purchase a money order on behalf of Perrault to pay the rent.

The detectives told Defendant they were happy to do it another time. After some further discussion, Defendant told the detectives he would continue with the interview. However, he told the detectives that he did not want to see any pictures of Perrault that were taken when she was recovered. When questioned as to why Perrault?s blood would be found in the trunk of the Lincoln Town Car, Defendant stated, ?The only way that could of happened is if um when we left the hospital, we put her stuff back there.? When asked what ?stuff? he was referring to, Defendant stated that when he picked Perrault up from the hospital, she was bleeding when they left because ?they messed up her Defendant indicated that Perrault ?bled pretty bad.? Defendant was unable to explain how Perrault?s blood was transferred into the trunk. . When confronted with the evidence showing that his ZTE cell phone connected to the free WiFi at Chancellor Manor (location of Perrault?s apartment) several times during the month of November 2017 into December 2017, Defendant stated that it was impossible because he never returned there after November 1, 2017. When questioned about it further, Defendant attempted to explain the contradiction by claiming that Perrault may have had the phone, but that he?d need to think about it because he couldn?t remember. . Thereafter, Defendant was confronted with the fact that he used his phone on November 8, 2017, to send a message to JL-P, so Perrault could not have had his phone on that date. response, Defendant told the detectives he?d need ?think about this one, how that worked out.? Perrault?s Fairview Hospital Records During the course of the investigation, officers learned that Perrault had been taken to Fairview Hospital in Burnsville sometime in September 2017. On June 28, 2017, following the third interview of Defendant, a search warrant was obtained for Perrault?s medical records concerning that hospital visit.
