#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowTrial #Loridaybelltrial twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Chad and Lori googling malachite as early as May 2019

Failed wedding ring purchase when Lori ordered glow in the dark malachite rings I. Etsy from SerenTiRings - shipping to four peaks pl in chandler, Arizona —manufacturer unable to fulfill order

And then in august 2019 - size 4.5 malachite ring ordered to send to Rexburg. card declined

Successful ring purchase on October 2nd from Amazon—for Lori

Lori purchased Chads ring through Roy rose jewels Oct 4, 2019, size 11 returned for size 10

Tammy died Oct 19, 2019 💔

Lori didn’t bat an eye when it came to the rings. Text message from Chad to Lori, 7/13/2019; concerning the two weeks, byu idaho graduation is July 23. Adam will be graduating and Leah and Joe is getting associates and I feel like she will be gone by then. But it will be a lot… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Chad: Love you. Going with Garth to “the other side other side of Heaven 2 and missing you desperately

Lori: You will love it

C: Not as much as I love you

Lori: You will Love it. Looks like Kauai . Hopefully weI’ll be there soon.

Chad: That’s my plan and greatest desire

Due to submitting evidence we had another brief break. But we are back.

Right before the break, as we stood up, Lori was smiling and laughing ARCHIBALD and Thomas

Sidebar already

Temple attendance chart, Chad and Lori attending together, (FBI knows thru LDS temple recommends being scanned at temple)

[Lori is watching intently, paying attention]

11/16/2018 Gilbert temple
4/3 idaho falls temple
4/27 Houston temple
7/11 Charles is killed

Thomas cross exam is asking about Google search: Ned Schneider 1996.

Thomas asks what she learned. Heideman says she didn’t look into websites, just Google searches

Thomas asks if she didn’t think it was important to find out who Ned was?

Heideman’ job was to find things… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Lori is resting her chin on her hand, Elbow on table. Slight smile watching Thomas

Now she is taking notes with a smile. I’d call it a smirk.

Now she is talking to ARCHIBALD and she is laughing While thomas continues cross exam

Thomas is discussing the searches of arch angels and Raphael, and asking why HEIDEMAN thinks it’s significant.
Are they significant dates? She doesn’t know.

Thomas going over ring sizes again. Lori watched, she is looking over at thomas and seeming to side eye the benches where her uncle and sister are sitting [uncle and summer not sitting together, but both here]

Thomas now to cross exam on temple records:
Lori continues to rest her chin on her hand, paying attention. Taking her glasses off to watch, putting them on to take notes.

Interesting point by thomas just now: HEIDEMAN doesn’t know who else went to Temple with Lori and Chad, or if they went alone or with a group.

Thomas asks what the tie in is. heideman says investigators noticed a pattern that temple visits coincided with homicides. Temple… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Heideman explains she can’t tell the pattern or significance. That’s not her job. Her job is to produce the timelines and data

Thomas’s cross exam with Heideman is the longest I’ve seen the Defense cross exam.

Going thru each Google search result individually:

We’re these Google searches or actual visits to websites?

She doesn’t know. Her job is to share information and leads to investigators,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Thomas sits down and Lori starts talking to him right away, laughing and dabbing under her eyes with a tissue.

Blake: in regards to temple visits, you were looking for times Chad and Lori went together

Heideman: yes

NEW WITNESS: Nicholas Ballance, special agent with FBI since June 2016
Was once a U.S. Marshall.

He brought in a 3-ring binder 3 inches thick and sat on prosecutors desk

CAST takes geo location records and places them on a map and ballance has successfully used this on past cases with missing kids, homicides; fugitives

Ballance talks directly to jurors despite Rob Wood asking the questions. Jurors are paying attention.

Ballance has been explaining to jurors how cell phones utilize the towers and sectors and how you can show a “general location” of where that phone is.

What does “general location” mean?

There is a triangulation of Towers to get more specific location —using more than one… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

June 2020 significant updates in the case, this Ballance went to a Rexburg to do a drive test

Now discussing what can be stored in records—google stores latitude and longitude and they have 3 types of data- 1) GPS (most precise) 2 ) Wi-Fi &
3) cellular

Ballance is given a USB with a power point:

Ladies and gentlemen: He is now taking the jump drive out of the envelope 👀👀👀

SLIDES, cellular mapping: he is explaining the map legend, direction the tower reaches, call info box shows particular calls collected, outgoing or ingoing, associated numbers. The duration of call—the measurement is in second

I’ll be honest: I’m going to need some extra ears on this this afternoon. I’m trying to learn and understand but this isn’t easy for me.

How to map google location data

Explaining margin of error l, and now exposing the locations of interest

This mapping is an intense science. I’m
Impressed with Ballance

And now to things he found!
