A DNA expert who testified during the fourth week of testimony atLori Vallow Daybell’s ongoing murder trial claimed that a piece of her hair was stuck to tape recovered with her son’s remains.
“The partial DNA profile matched the DNA profile provided from Lori Vallow Daybell,” Coleman said in court, perEast Idaho News.“The probability of randomly selecting a random individual in relation to that profile 1 is 71 billion.”
Lori is charged with murder in connection with the deaths of her children Joshua “J.J.” Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 16, and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in the death of her fifth husband’s first wife Tammy Daybell.
On June 9, 2020, the remains of J.J. and Tylee were found buried on the Idaho property of Chad Daybell, who married Lori in November 2019 — just weeks after his wife Tammy died. The children disappeared in September 2019.
Last week, J.J.’s cause of death was revealed.
Tylee’s cause of death was undetermined, Warren said, according to the outlets. Warren also said Tylee’s autopsy took longer than J.J.’s because her remains were not found intact.

“What was left of Tylee was found. Charred remains. A mass of bone and tissues. That was what was left of this beautiful young woman,” Fremont County Prosecuting Attorney Lindsey Blake said during the first week of trial. “Her DNA was discovered on a pickaxe and shovel and later found in Daybell’s shed.”
