BOISE, Idaho (ABC4) – Prosecutors in the Chad Daybell murder trial showed more law enforcement bodycam footage Friday morning, this time of Officer David Stubbs walking through the Rexburg, Idaho, apartments of both Lori Vallow Daybell and her niece, Melani Cope (now Melani Pawlowski).
Additionally, jurors got a deeper look into some of the search warrants executed in the case, both before and after Vallow’s children, Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ashlyn Ryan, 16, were found buried in shallow graves on Daybell’s property.
Stubbs noted that in the first apartment walk-through, in the apartment belonging to Lori, there were no clothes in some of the closets – which he said made him think “the occupants left in haste.”
In the second apartment walk-through, in the apartment belonging to Lori’s next-door neighbor and niece Melani Cope, Stubbs said the apartment appeared to be lived in, as there were clothes in the closets and a car in the garage.
However, Stubbs said he found a three-ring binder of credit cards and driver’s licenses belonging to Brandon Boudreaux, Melanie’s ex-husband, which struck him as “odd,” as the couple was divorced. There was no evidence Brandon still lived at that apartment, Stubbs said.
