Full audio: Lori Vallow's hair found on duct tape wrapped around dead son, JJ (May 1)
A piece of Lori Vallow's hair was apparently stuck to a piece of duct tape wrapped around her murdered 7-year-old son's body, a witness testified Monday, according to local reports. "The partial DNA profile matched the DNA profile provided for Lori Vallow Daybell," DNA analyst Keeley Coleman testified Monday of the hair stuck to a piece of adhesive. The adhesive had been wrapped around J.J.'s body when investigators found him buried on Daybell's property in June 2020, according to East Idaho News reporter Nate Eaton. Coleman added that "the probability of randomly selecting a random individual in relation to that profile 1 is 71 billion." The analyst later testified that the "the hair had been found on duct tape that was in the presence of decomposition fluids," Eaton reported. As for Tammy Daybell, Chad Daybell's late wife, the chief medical examiner for Utah took the stand, testifying about Tammy’s body being buried and then exhumed in late 2019. The medical examiner not only confirmed she died of asphyxia, but that there were bruises found on her arms and chest, indicating Tammy was restrained before she died. Besides Utah’s chief medical examiner, Dr. Erik Christensen, and the senior DNA analyst with Bode Technology, Keeley Coleman, FBI special agent Ricky Wright took the stand – retracing the steps of another alleged co-conspirator, Lori’s late brother Alex.
