Holeman received DNA profile containing to Lori Vallow, Tylee Ryan and Melanie Gibb in May 2022 to determine a piece of evidence she also received.
The evidence was a piece of hair stuck to adhesive.

DNA shows that the piece of hair was belonging to Lori Vallow.

Most samples Holeman receives are partial DNA.The hair was found on duct hair and had body decomposition on it.She was matching it to a known profile in the FBI database. Match was 1 in 71 Billion to Lori’s

State calls Rick Wright. He is contract investigator for the FBI.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow #LoriVallowDaybell

Investigator Wright began working on the case in November 2019 searching for JJ along with Tylee.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow #LoriVallowDaybell

Investigator Wright was one of the case managers on the case for the search. At first he was only aware of JJ missing. Shortly after he discovered JJ had a older sibling Tylee who was also was missing.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow #LoriVallowDaybell

Wright said he had an interview with Ian Plowski (melani’s husband). After the interview his concern was greatly increased.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow #LoriVallowDaybell

Wright arranged Ian to secretly record conversations with his wife Melani. Chad, Lori and Alex. Location data was requested that was provided to Wright from Agent Ballance (who testified earlier).

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow #LoriVallowDaybell

Investigator Wright has prepared the PowerPoint presentation for the court from this investigation of the case.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow #LoriVallowDaybell

First device Wright reviewed was data from Alex Cox. September 1st 2019 was the first ping from Rexburg at Apt #175. After September 5 the device would spend the night at Apt. # 105.

Lori has been writing in her notepad the whole testimony with Archibald periodically looking down at the pad. Have often wondered what is on that pad that she writes so much on.

#LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowDaybellTrial

Waiting for court to come back from lunch. We are hearing a lot of repeat information from this testimony that we have heard already from Agent Ballace with location data. Hence why I am silent.

#LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow #LoriVallowDaybellTrial

We pick up with Investigator Wright is still on the stand. Showing us a picture of a map of Alex’s trip from Idaho Falls on the October 8.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

On the device it has him pinged not taking his normal to his apartment, instead it went the direction of the Daybell’s property. It stayed in area of the Mormon temple near the house.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

There is about an hour and half of no data. It picks up on the HWY after that where Cox drives back to Idaho Falls to a hotel not his apartment.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

The temple and the Daybell’s house is about 2.5 miles apart from each other.
State has no further questions.
Thomas for Cross.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

No Further questions from Defense.
Redirect.

Wright confirms to that the data is only pinned the device.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

State has no further questions.
Wright is released from the witness stand.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

State calls Dr. Eric Christiansen. He is Forensic Pathologist.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

He provided an autopsy on Tammy Daybell.
He was present when Tammy was exhumed and traveled with the body to his office.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

He reviewed medical records, police records, interviews, etc before he preformed this autopsy. It is not a common occurrence to have a body exhumed. He has down maybe a dozen.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

Dr. Christiansen is walking the court through the process of how he conducts an autopsy.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

Dr Christiansen has determined Tammy Daybell died of Asphyxia by Homicide.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

He did not see any injuries to her body that would be contributing to her death.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

He did confirm that the bruising in her bicep and chest could possibly be a result being restrained but he can’t confirm it.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

We are back from break. Dr. Christiansen on the stand. He said that Tammy’s organs where fairly normal besides the foam that was found in her lungs. That was shown coming out of her mouth in the photos.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

He has said he has done autopsy where this has happened before. It can be involved with asphyxiation as a cause of death. Photos from last Friday of Tammy on the bed after she passed is shown.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

Dr Christiansen identifies the bruises that are found on Tammy’s body that were found. 6 on on the front of her body. 5 on her arms, 1 on her chest. 4 on her back of her body. Those are on her arms as well

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

Dr Christiansen did not find any bruises on her Lowe half of her body.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

Photos of bruise is shown to the court. Different views and angles in the photos. One of the photos is of a incision of where he took the sample of the bruise.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

All the bruises were all prior to her death.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

Dr Christiansen confirms he was not present the present on the day of death but based on his readings of the records and talking to everyone involved, he believes Tammy’s death was several hours before 5:30

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

Photos are displayed for just the jury.
Upper left chest bruise is being describe for the court. Additional photos of bruising on arms is being shown to jury and descriptions for us.

#LoriVallowDaybellTrial #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #LoriVallow

That concludes the photos. We adjourned for today. We will continue with cross examination tomorrow morning.
