During the third week of testimony atLori Vallow Daybell’s murder trial, Rexburg Police Det. David Stubbs took the stand for the second time and testified about what authorities say they found on Lori’s internet history.
According to Stubbs, in October of 2019, a search history from an email account associated with Lori searched for wedding dresses in Hawaii,East Idaho Newsreports.
“What also caught my attention was this was being looked at on the same day as Tammy’s funeral,” Stubbs testified, the outlet reports.
On November 5, two weeks after Tammy’s death, Lori and Chad — an author who wrote about religious doomsday scenarios — married in Hawaii.
Weeks before Tammy’s death, Lori’s children,Joshua “J.J.” Vallow, 7, andTylee Ryan, 16, disappeared in September 2019.
A July 21, 2019 search showed that the user also looked up: “gerber life policy” and “life insurance for children – the Grow-Up Plan,“East Idaho Newsreports. According toGerberLife.com, The Grow-Up Plan is “a whole life insurance policy for a child that builds cash value.”
According toEast Idaho News, Stubbs also said the user looked at wedding rings on Aug. 25, 2019 and ordered two. At this time, Tammy and Chad were still married.
“We were thinking it was odd for her to be looking at wedding rings at that time,” Stubbs said, the outlet reports.
