#Lorivallowtrial

Lori just poured herself a glass of water...seems chipper...

#LoriVallowTrial

Judge Boyce on the bench. We expect to hear from Tammy Daybell's sister this afternoon.

#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Katie Dace, forensic biologist. She received duct tape and bags that was on JJ's body. She looked for irregular edges to see if someone may have torn the tape with their mouth, etc... There was blood "all over the surface of everything" #LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Dace tested 18 tools. She looked for blood and "potential human remains". She found blood on several of the tools and what she thought could be charred flesh on one of the tools.
#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Shovel had fragments on it that looked like it could possibly be flesh, it was a pinkish-tan color. She was not able to obtain a DNA profile from that sample.

@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Dace collected material from a third shovel from #ChadDaybell's property. She DID obtain a DNA sample ....TYLEE RYAN.
#LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Pickaxe from #ChadDaybell's property: fragments were removed from the "eye" of the pickaxe. Partial DNA profile was obtained. Tylee Ryan was a potential contributor. #LoriVallowTrial
@LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Pickaxe handle tested positive for blood. DNA was a match to Tylee Ryan.

@LawCrimeNetwork Hair collected from the duct tape that was on the outside of the bag that JJ's body was wrapped in was sent to another lab.

@LawCrimeNetwork Afternoon break

@LawCrimeNetwork Lori is back at the table following the afternoon break. She's laughing, having a great time.

@LawCrimeNetwork Rexburg police detective Chuck Kunsaitis is on the stand. He saw a news story about satellite imagery of #ChadDaybell's home and requested images from Apollo Mapping. He received 4 images.

#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork First sattelite image we see is from Aug 27, 2019 - 12:33pm MT. You see an overhead image of #ChadDaybell's home/property.
#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Second image Sept 2, 2019 at 12:32pm MT. Same overhead of Chad's property.

#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Third image: Sept. 9, 2019 12:32pm MT - this is the day authorities believe Tylee was buried on the property. Taken less than an hour after Alex Cox left the property. The pet cemetery area is now larger/darker.

#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork The detective chokes up when he says "That was in the immediate area where we found Tylee".

#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork I glanced over at #LoriVallow when Det. Kunsaitis choked up mentioning finding Tylee's body and her face went read, like maybe...just maybe..she felt something.

@LawCrimeNetwork Archibald on cross-exam asks if detective if Tylee was burned on that property or burned and transferred to there. He says he doesn't know but could smell fuel when unearthing Tylee's remains.
#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork State calls Tammy Daybell's sister, Samantha Gwilliam. #LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Tammy's sister is asked about the pet cemetery on Chad & Tammy's property.
Samantha says there's a dog statue that represents her niece's dog that was buried there. She says Tammy/her family grew up having a pet cemetary.
#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Tammy loved animals. Samantha says they grew up with animals. "She was a person that ...they were just drawn to her...." Samantha's voice cracks a little.

#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork This picture of Tammy Daybell is shown in court.

#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Tammy Daybell had four siblings. There were 2 girls and 3 boys.
#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Samantha testifies that #ChadDaybell's family lived in the same town. She liked Chad, a nice guy, treated Tammy well.
#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Tammy and Chad had 5 kids. At first she didn't want to move from Utah to Idaho. It was Chad's idea. Samantha said Tammy didn't want to leave her extended family in Utah. #LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Tammy was a computer whiz, self-taught. #ChadDaybell was working for Springfield city working in the cemetery, he would dig graves. #LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Chad called Samantha the morning Tammy passed away. Samantha begins to cry. Chad told her Tammy had been really sick, had been coughing all night. Chad said he was awakened that morning when Tammy rolled out of bed dead.
#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Samantha said that didn't make any sense. She knew Tammy was healthy, training to run in a race, was involved in clogging. Tammy went to Utah to visit her family alone. Samantha said that was unusual, but Chad told Tammy she needed to visit her family. #LoriVallowTrial

@LawCrimeNetwork Samantha testifies that Tammy never mentioned that she suspected Chad was having an affair.
#LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Breaking for the day in the middle of Samantha's testimony. Judge has a reason he needed to stop at 3:20. Back tomorrow from 8:30-1:30 MT. #LoriVallowTrial @LawCrimeNetwork
