Lori Vallow trial: Gilbert officer testifies
On May 4, which marked the 22nd day of Lori Vallow's murder trial, a Gibert police officer who led an investigation into the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux took the stand. Boudreaux is the nephew-in-law of the so-called 'Doomsday Mom.' FOX 10's Justin Lum reports.
Officer Ryan Pillar was the lead detective investigating the attempted murder of Vallow's ex-nephew-in-law, Brandon Boudreaux. In October 2019, Gilbert Police officials said Vallow’s late brother, Alex Cox, shot Boudreaux’s vehicle as he pulled into his driveway.
Police would recover that Jeep, and Pillar learned that Tammy died 17 days after the shooting. Weeks after Tammy's death, Chad Daybell married Vallow.
As a multi-agency effort focused on finding JJ and Tylee, Pillar reminded the court how Vallow lied about JJ being with Melanie Gibb in Arizona. Pillar even surveilled two homes Gibb lived at in the Phoenix area.
Ian Pawlowski, the husband of Lori Vallow's niece Melani, also testified about his experiences with Lori Vallow.
