As the trial for ‘cult mum’ Lori Vallow Daybell gets into full swing, a detective has revealed in court the chilling discoveries made in her apartment and garage.

Lori Vallow Daybell is facing murder charges related to the deaths of her daughter Tylee, 16, adopted son JJ, seven, and husband Chad Daybell’s former wife Tammy Daybell, 49.

The mum of three’s Idaho home and garage were searched, Detective Ray Hermosillo told the jury on Tuesday, April 11. It was during this search a number of chilling items were found.

The detective for Rexburg Police Department explained how toys and items belonging to JJ were found, including prescription medication.

He also spoke of how several guns were apparently found in the garage, along with several army knives and empty magazines for a number of weapons.

Detective Hermosillo was the only witness to take to the stand on Tuesday, in a day which saw gruesome photos of the dead children being shown to the court.

JJ’s gandfather Larry Woodcock was seen sobbing in his seat in the courtroom gallery as evidence was shown and discussed.
