Medical examiner provides crucial evidence in Lori Vallow Daybell murder trial.
The medical examiner testified that Tammy Daybell, the first wife of Lori Vallow Daybell's husband, may have been restrained when she died under mysterious circumstances in 2019. Bruises consistent with being restrained were discovered on her arms and chest, supporting the finding that her cause of death was asphyxia. Vallow Daybell is on trial for the murders of her children and for conspiring with her husband Chad to kill his first wife. Chad Daybell had also been charged in connection with the three deaths and will stand trial at a later date. The couple believes the end times are upon the world and has collected life insurance money and Social Security following the deaths of Vallow Daybell’s children and Daybell’s former wife, prosecutors claim.
