- 0:05Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Greece cult Mom that should ring
- 0:16Speaker 1: a bell? Laurie Valo and I think her fourth husband,
- 0:21Speaker 1: the prophet Chad Daybell, the doomster. Remember his wife died,
- 0:28Speaker 1: Oh what a cowinkie dink in her sleep after he
- 0:33Speaker 1: predicted her death. Now both of them must be clairvoyant,
- 0:39Speaker 1: because a couple of weeks before Tammy day Bell died
- 0:42Speaker 1: in her sleep, lying beside Chad day Bell caught my
- 0:46Speaker 1: Laurie Valo, who's sleeping with day Belle, decided she would
- 0:50Speaker 1: order a beach b e ac, a beach wedding dress
- 0:55Speaker 1: and a ring before Tammy day Belle died. And guess what.
- 1:03Speaker 1: A couple of weeks later, after Tammy was dead and buried,
- 1:09Speaker 1: she called mom. Laurie Valleo marries Chad day Belle in
- 1:14Speaker 1: the Scout motto be prepared and boy wise. She but
- 1:19Speaker 1: more concerning the deaths and the dismemberment of her own children.
- 1:26Speaker 1: JJ entirely we're waiting for trial, but in the last
- 1:32Speaker 1: hours a stunning move by the state. I mean, see Grace,
- 1:38Speaker 1: this is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us
- 1:40Speaker 1: here at Fox Nation and Serious X one eleven. What
- 1:45Speaker 1: could be more stunning than we already know the remains
- 1:49Speaker 1: of these children, one dismembered, burned, buried in a pet
- 1:55Speaker 1: cemetery out in back of a farmhouse. The otherly hermetically sealed,
- 2:02Speaker 1: still wearing his pj's that he had on when he
- 2:06Speaker 1: was murdered. Take a listen right now to our cut
- 2:11Speaker 1: eighty seven our friend Nate eight ace Idahoones a motion
- 2:16Speaker 1: that has been filed by the prosecution in the Chat
- 2:19Speaker 1: and Laurie day Bel cases. This motion was filed in
- 2:22Speaker 1: both cases and prosecutors are asking that DNA testing be
- 2:26Speaker 1: performed on a few things that were found at Chad
- 2:29Speaker 1: day Bel's property. A shovel, a pickaxe, a DNA testing
- 2:34Speaker 1: under JJ's fingernails, tape, the duct tape that was surrounding
- 2:38Speaker 1: him testing on that, and I believe one or two
- 2:40Speaker 1: other things I can't recall at the top of my head,
- 2:42Speaker 1: but they're what they're asking is they want the State
- 2:45Speaker 1: lab or someone a DNA expert to do consumptive DNA
- 2:48Speaker 1: testing on that. What that means is that when they
- 2:52Speaker 1: go in and do the test, they test all the
- 2:54Speaker 1: DNA at once, so that after it's done, there's no
- 2:58Speaker 1: more DNA to test, So basically you kind of have
- 3:01Speaker 1: one shot at it, and that's the reason why, most
- 3:06Speaker 1: likely the prosecution has waited this long to do it.
- 3:09Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a really good reason for
- 3:11Speaker 1: waiting that long to do it. But before we rush
- 3:16Speaker 1: into a technical discussion of DNA, DAX and ribo niclak acid,
- 3:22Speaker 1: let me take that in. Let me take that in.
- 3:24Speaker 1: What Nate Eaton just reported. If you don't know who
- 3:27Speaker 1: Nate Eating is, you got to be living under a
- 3:30Speaker 1: rot in a cave Nate eating. If you'll recall calt Mom,
- 3:35Speaker 1: Laurie Valo immediately goes to Hawaii, Mary Schad Day Bell
- 3:41Speaker 1: and then everybody realizes is wow, the children are missing.
- 3:46Speaker 1: They're not where she said they were. Eaton flies over
- 3:50Speaker 1: to Hawaii, and every time Laurie Value comes out of
- 3:54Speaker 1: the plush condo, she's staring with her new husband. You
- 3:59Speaker 1: see his hand in the picture running along with life
- 4:02Speaker 1: or going hey, hey, hey, hey, where are your children yet?
- 4:05Speaker 1: Any idea where JJ is? Wrist? Tyewey, what's happening? Did
- 4:07Speaker 1: you get married? What's going on? His hand became famous
- 4:11Speaker 1: before he was but this is him talking and he says,
- 4:15Speaker 1: this is my point DNA. What does that mean? Blood,
- 4:20Speaker 1: human tissue, Maybe it's brain matter, maybe it's muscle. DNA
- 4:27Speaker 1: on a shovel, a pickaxe under the little boy JJ,
- 4:35Speaker 1: seven years old, under his fingernails on tape, on the
- 4:42Speaker 1: duct tape that had been wrapped around him like an
- 4:45Speaker 1: Egyptian mummy. Think about what they're looking for. They're looking
- 4:50Speaker 1: for these children, JJ Entilely's blood, their muscle, their soft tissue,
- 4:57Speaker 1: they're fat, their skin, their hair on a pickaxe on
- 5:03Speaker 1: a shovel. Sometimes there are no words to describe the
- 5:09Speaker 1: evil in our world, and the only thing we can
- 5:14Speaker 1: do is fight it. Just fight. It is joining me
- 5:17Speaker 1: right now in All Star Palem, But I want to
- 5:18Speaker 1: start with Nate Eaton joining us. He's the news director
- 5:22Speaker 1: at east News dot com on Twitter, you can find
- 5:24Speaker 1: them at Nate News Now. Nate Eaton, explain what you're saying,
- 5:30Speaker 1: because I believe there's a way around this. You're saying
- 5:33Speaker 1: that if they do these tests, they'll use up the
- 5:36Speaker 1: DNA well on these specific items. So the items we're
- 5:40Speaker 1: talking about, the hairs on the duct tape. WHOA wait
- 5:44Speaker 1: a minute, hold on, because I don't like what you
- 5:47Speaker 1: just said. When we were quoting you. You said other
- 5:51Speaker 1: items I can't recall. Okay, you're the news director. You're
- 5:55Speaker 1: supposed to tell us all the items. Okay, so let's
- 5:59Speaker 1: start at the get go. Hair on duct tape. That
- 6:02Speaker 1: makes perfect sense. If duct tape was wrapped around his head.
- 6:07Speaker 1: It reminds me of Kelley. You know, Top Mom's little girl, Casey.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Anthony's a little girl that had duct tape across her mouth.
- 6:16Speaker 1: So they're looking for hair on the duct tape that
- 6:18Speaker 1: was wrapped around JJ. Okay, go ahead. I'm making a
- 6:21Speaker 1: chart here, so I'm writing as quickly as I can't.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Go ahead, Nate, okay, and then rich detail with your
- 6:27Speaker 1: fingerprints on the tape associated with j J body. I'm
- 6:32Speaker 1: really surprised I haven't already done that. Hold on, So
- 6:34Speaker 1: basically fingerprints and if you don't get a whole print,
- 6:38Speaker 1: and we'll go to Joe, Scott and Morgan just a
- 6:41Speaker 1: moment on this, you can get a partial print, Nate,
- 6:44Speaker 1: have you ever really looked at a blow up of
- 6:47Speaker 1: a known print. Let's just say Chad day Bell's print
- 6:51Speaker 1: a known print. You take his fingerprint when he's booked in.
- 6:54Speaker 1: That's your known print compared to the other print, the
- 6:59Speaker 1: latent print, which is found on a window, or driving
- 7:02Speaker 1: steering wheel or a door, but in this case on
- 7:05Speaker 1: duct tape. If it's amazing, you look for ten twenty
- 7:10Speaker 1: or more similarities in the swirls, and every person has
- 7:15Speaker 1: their own set of swirls. Nobody has one like it.
- 7:19Speaker 1: You know what I like to do. I like to
- 7:21Speaker 1: make a postcard, a black and white postcard of the
- 7:24Speaker 1: known print and a latent print is picked up off
- 7:28Speaker 1: the duct tape. Blow up pictures side by side on
- 7:32Speaker 1: a glossy postcard, and circle in red similarities and hand
- 7:36Speaker 1: those out to the garars. Kind of a keepsake. Awesome, Okay,
- 7:41Speaker 1: back to you ridge detail on the duct tape. Also,
- 7:45Speaker 1: you mentioned the pickaxe and the shovel. They're looking for
- 7:48Speaker 1: small dark on the handles, and these were tools that
- 7:53Speaker 1: were in Chad day Bell's barn right there, right near
- 7:56Speaker 1: where the kids were found. Small dark spots. You mean,
- 8:00Speaker 1: hasn't already been tested from law? Well, the prosecution tried
- 8:03Speaker 1: to test all of these things back in early twenty
- 8:05Speaker 1: twenty one, but the defense attorneys immediately objected. They didn't
- 8:10Speaker 1: want it done. They didn't want to consumptive DNA testing
- 8:14Speaker 1: done means they were worried that it would use it
- 8:16Speaker 1: all up. And then Laurie became incompetent, So everything kind
- 8:19Speaker 1: of got put on hold. Why you just pought my
- 8:22Speaker 1: earpiece out when you said that Laurie became incompetent. Why
- 8:25Speaker 1: do you say things like that? Nate eight. And she
- 8:27Speaker 1: did not become incompetent. She has been later declared competent.
- 8:32Speaker 1: What was that anyway? Was she acting crazy? Well, according
- 8:35Speaker 1: to the court, yes she was, and so she went
- 8:39Speaker 1: to a state hospital for about ten months, was declared
- 8:43Speaker 1: competent earlier this year, and so now now we're seeing
- 8:46Speaker 1: a lot of progress in the case. Things are moving forward. Way,
- 8:49Speaker 1: were her crazy wacko religious beliefs? Her quote incompetence was
- 8:56Speaker 1: that where they were getting that she was incompetent, they
- 8:58Speaker 1: had all of that is steel, but could assume that
- 9:00Speaker 1: the religious delusions as they were calling them, were part
- 9:04Speaker 1: of her incompetency. She did go to the state mental
- 9:09Speaker 1: hospital for ten months where the inmate where she was
- 9:11Speaker 1: able to wear normal clothes, she wasn't in handcuffs, she
- 9:15Speaker 1: wasn't in a cell, she was able to eat well.
- 9:17Speaker 1: They did some psychological tests on her. She was able
- 9:20Speaker 1: to do her hair and makeup. I didn't know I
- 9:23Speaker 1: was gonna have to bring a shrink this quickly. But
- 9:25Speaker 1: doctor Angela Arnold psychiatrists were now psychiatrists, joining us out
- 9:29Speaker 1: of the Atlanta jurisdiction. Angela Angela Arnold, MD, dot com
- 9:33Speaker 1: dit or Angie, Please, if your mental illness is cured
- 9:38Speaker 1: by some new clothes and makeup, you're not mentally ill.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Please just have a shopping day at them all and
- 9:44Speaker 1: you're fine. Just one. It's not incompetent. That's a lot, Jackie.
- 9:49Speaker 1: You have to pull up best of their wacky, crazy beliefs.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Remember all of that. But bizarro, what about that, doctor Angie?
- 10:01Speaker 1: In a nutshell? I gotta get back to the DNA.
- 10:03Speaker 1: This woman is full of cluster b diagnoses, okay, but
- 10:08Speaker 1: that they do not make you incompetent. All right. She
- 10:12Speaker 1: has lots of personality disorders, but none of those make
- 10:16Speaker 1: her incompetent. I think her biggest issue is she's very manipulative.
- 10:20Speaker 1: You know what, doctor Angie, I've just got to say.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Wendy Patrick, California prosecutor, author of Red Flags, hosted today
- 10:26Speaker 1: with doctor Wendy KCBQ Wendy Patrick PhD dot com. That's
- 10:33Speaker 1: bs bottom line, everything that makes her a horrible person.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Doctor Angie says as a personality disorder, she's cruel, she's heartless,
- 10:45Speaker 1: she's self centered. She cares more about landing the next
- 10:49Speaker 1: husband than she does about her children. Doctor Angie can
- 10:53Speaker 1: put perfect on the pig all she wants to, but
- 10:56Speaker 1: this just makes her, in my mind, the devil's meaning.
- 10:58Speaker 1: She is Satan's mistress. There you go, That's what goes
- 11:03Speaker 1: on the postcard. After this trial will handles out to
- 11:06Speaker 1: the jurors. But that conclusion will be arrived at by
- 11:09Speaker 1: looking at her conduct, by looking at her intentional conduct,
- 11:12Speaker 1: the sophistication of it, the deliberation, everything that goes into
- 11:16Speaker 1: proving something was knowing and intentional and not the product
- 11:19Speaker 1: of incompetence or insanity legally or anything else. And that's
- 11:23Speaker 1: no doubt the way the trial is going to be
- 11:25Speaker 1: conducted now that whatever that was about. You know, you
- 11:28Speaker 1: and I've had tons of cases where people have been
- 11:31Speaker 1: by a court declared unfit to stand trial, and then,
- 11:34Speaker 1: of course very quickly sometimes there they are back in action.
- 11:38Speaker 1: One of the things I suppose will develop in this
- 11:40Speaker 1: particular case is why the investigation stopped when she was
- 11:44Speaker 1: declared incompetent. Why didn't it simply continue in the interim.
- 11:48Speaker 1: But you're right, you know, actions bee louder than words,
- 12:03Speaker 1: time stories with Nancy Grace, Nate eat nothing. Maybe the
- 12:10Speaker 1: delay wasn't just for her to finally get deemed competent,
- 12:13Speaker 1: but because we were in the throes of COVID during
- 12:15Speaker 1: a lot of this, and nobody was rushing into the
- 12:17Speaker 1: crime lab to look at samples. But hey, you just
- 12:20Speaker 1: says something that really hit home. You hit a home
- 12:22Speaker 1: run again, Wendy Patrick. Do you remember Nate eating and
- 12:28Speaker 1: one cult mom's court appearances? Didn't she create lip gloss
- 12:38Speaker 1: out of something behind bars and had her hair and
- 12:42Speaker 1: mermaid curls and had her toe nails polished while she's
- 12:47Speaker 1: in court talking about her murdered and dismembered and bird
- 12:52Speaker 1: charred children. I mean that it reminded me of Jodi Aris,
- 12:57Speaker 1: who would always have her hair and make it, who
- 12:59Speaker 1: also shot a bird at me in court, always be
- 13:02Speaker 1: completely perfect with all our makeup and hair and blah blah,
- 13:06Speaker 1: and then go in court to look at pictures off
- 13:08Speaker 1: her lover. They started rotting in the shower where she
- 13:12Speaker 1: left him. I mean, reality check, didn't she make her
- 13:15Speaker 1: own lip gloss? Yeah, with the help of a Jolly rancher.
- 13:18Speaker 1: It was a Jolly rancher. Okay, I'd like to talk
- 13:21Speaker 1: about Dax Surivo. Ni Lake asked her, with you, doctor
- 13:24Speaker 1: cheryla point, but hold on, I need to hear about
- 13:27Speaker 1: the jolly rancher lip gloss. What what did you just say,
- 13:31Speaker 1: because I would totally totally argue that an opening statement.
- 13:35Speaker 1: She's more concerned about her lip gloss than her dead children.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Please tell me the joy Rancher punchline. This was her
- 13:42Speaker 1: very first court appearance in Idaho after they flew her
- 13:45Speaker 1: back from Hawaii, her Hawaiian honeymoon. Okay, she walks in
- 13:50Speaker 1: the courtroom with pink handcuffs on, and she's got bright
- 13:54Speaker 1: pink red lipstick that we later learned the jail inmates
- 13:57Speaker 1: will take Jolly Rancher as they get from the commissary,
- 13:59Speaker 1: mix it with water and then they'll apply that to
- 14:01Speaker 1: their lips. And if Yeah, her hair was curl that
- 14:04Speaker 1: had the mermaid curls. And she walked in there and
- 14:07Speaker 1: sat down and acted like she didn't have a care
- 14:09Speaker 1: in the world. Okay, doctor Angie, go on, put perfume
- 14:13Speaker 1: on that pig. What's her personality disorder? Narcissism, histrionic. I
- 14:20Speaker 1: know all of your terms, doctor Angie. I don't know
- 14:22Speaker 1: what they mean, but I know them well. Nancy. I
- 14:25Speaker 1: think that people. I think that all of your viewers
- 14:29Speaker 1: want want to know if Laurie Valo, what is driving her?
- 14:35Speaker 1: Why is she the way she is? And so that's
- 14:38Speaker 1: why I bring up these different personality disorders that I
- 14:41Speaker 1: believe that she exhibits. Okay, well wait, you're not asking
- 14:46Speaker 1: why is she the way she is? Don't tell me.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You're going to go all the way back. My mommy
- 14:52Speaker 1: spanked me when I killed the dog. My daddy ignored me.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. You know what. No, don't care, do
- 15:01Speaker 1: not care. All I care about it's why these children
- 15:04Speaker 1: are dead. But I will give you a tiny peek
- 15:07Speaker 1: and too. There's got to be pots and pants beating
- 15:10Speaker 1: against each other in her head. I want you to
- 15:12Speaker 1: listen to Campower, her friend from our Arizona Family TV religion.
- 15:18Speaker 1: This is on their religion. In October twenty eighteen, Laurie
- 15:21Speaker 1: was speaking at some sort of religious gathering. She was
- 15:24Speaker 1: telling the group of people there that about her firsthand
- 15:27Speaker 1: experiences with God and with spirits, but she started off
- 15:30Speaker 1: by telling them about the issues she had with her
- 15:33Speaker 1: ex husband, Joseph Ryan, and how she wanted to kill him.
- 15:37Speaker 1: I'm sorry saying that I am a personal witness of
- 15:39Speaker 1: the resurrected Jesus Christ, I am his advocate, and I
- 15:43Speaker 1: am his friend. Laurie Vallo has dubbed herself a devout
- 15:46Speaker 1: member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.
- 15:50Speaker 1: In court documents and police reports, she talks about how
- 15:53Speaker 1: she's put on this earth to gather people for the
- 15:55Speaker 1: second Coming of Christ. The time is now, the Lord
- 15:59Speaker 1: is gather they're his people. He is calling people to
- 16:02Speaker 1: one hundred and forty four one thousand. They're already being called.
- 16:05Speaker 1: They're already being sent on their missions. And I guess
- 16:09Speaker 1: her mission was to murder her children. Now, the Mormons
- 16:12Speaker 1: took great pains to disassociate themselves from this fringe group
- 16:17Speaker 1: that Laurie Valo was in, and that was Kim Powell
- 16:20Speaker 1: speaking from Arizona Family TV Nate Eaton. The religious beliefs
- 16:25Speaker 1: were even more bizarre. She insists that her Basically anybody
- 16:31Speaker 1: she doesn't like has been possessed by a demon. She
- 16:34Speaker 1: even has names for the demons, and they can't be repossessed,
- 16:40Speaker 1: they can't be cured, so she has to kill them.
- 16:43Speaker 1: That's part of her religion. As I recall, that's a yes, no,
- 16:46Speaker 1: Nate Eaton, Okay, I want to go now to special
- 16:50Speaker 1: guests joining us in addition to Nate, doctor Angie Wendy Patrick,
- 16:55Speaker 1: Jessicat Morgan is with US Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University,
- 17:00Speaker 1: author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon and host
- 17:03Speaker 1: of a brand new hit series on iHeart Body Bags
- 17:06Speaker 1: with Joe Scott Morgan. And to Shara La Point, genetic genealogist,
- 17:11Speaker 1: author of The Gene Hunter ge n E and founder
- 17:17Speaker 1: founder of the gene Hunter dot com. Shara, we heard
- 17:21Speaker 1: Nate Eaton describe a consumptive DNA test. Isn't it true
- 17:28Speaker 1: that there are some methods by which, when you have
- 17:32Speaker 1: a very small amount of DNA, that DNA chain can
- 17:38Speaker 1: be replicated or grown so you have a greater amount
- 17:43Speaker 1: of DNA. Yes, ma'am. With technic technology today, it's possible
- 17:49Speaker 1: to do that. It's possible to actually do full genome
- 17:54Speaker 1: sequencing and with that information we can actually use that
- 18:00Speaker 1: to replicate DNA. In this case, I believe they're looking
- 18:06Speaker 1: for DNA evidence that's going to prove who who was
- 18:10Speaker 1: there when the murderers occurred, And with all of all
- 18:16Speaker 1: of the things that they have to DNA tests, they
- 18:19Speaker 1: want to at one time test all of this. But
- 18:24Speaker 1: just like you said, I believe it's possible that there
- 18:27Speaker 1: is technology out there that you can test these items
- 18:30Speaker 1: and you don't have to use all of all of
- 18:33Speaker 1: the items at one time. And Cheryl la Point joining
- 18:37Speaker 1: me and guys, you got to really listen carefully what
- 18:39Speaker 1: she says because she'll go and to work for and
- 18:43Speaker 1: you have to really dissect each word. Joe Scott the
- 18:46Speaker 1: same way because it does sound very technical. But Chery
- 18:52Speaker 1: La Point, you and I have talked a lot about
- 18:53Speaker 1: there's a group, isn't it, Jackie Authorram Labs. There are
- 18:57Speaker 1: labs like authram that deal with degenerated DNA DNA that
- 19:04Speaker 1: has been contaminated, like been out in dirt or rain
- 19:08Speaker 1: or in bad conditions, and that is one of their specialties,
- 19:12Speaker 1: aren't their labs that specialize and extracting let me say,
- 19:18Speaker 1: criminal DNA when they're really bad circumstances, like the DNA
- 19:22Speaker 1: is really old, you find a skull that's been out
- 19:25Speaker 1: in the desert for twenty five years, or the DNA
- 19:28Speaker 1: has been underwater or in mud, or just all sorts
- 19:32Speaker 1: of concerning circumstances as it relates to getting a good
- 19:35Speaker 1: DNA sapple. There are labs that specialize in that, absolutely, Nancy.
- 19:40Speaker 1: And you know these cases are being solved, multiple cases
- 19:45Speaker 1: every week now, so you know they really I believe that,
- 19:50Speaker 1: you know, the prostitution should look at maybe going with
- 19:53Speaker 1: a private lab that can preserve some of the DNA,
- 19:57Speaker 1: maybe not use all of it in case, you know,
- 19:59Speaker 1: there's a reason that further testing is needed. You know,
- 20:04Speaker 1: we have fingernails. You know, they swabbed the fingernails bearing
- 20:09Speaker 1: an autopsy. I mean we've talked about that before. Absolutely,
- 20:14Speaker 1: you know, if this poor child thought when he was
- 20:19Speaker 1: being murdered, it's very possible that he scratched someone and
- 20:23Speaker 1: they can test back. Nate Eton, did you hear what
- 20:26Speaker 1: Sheryl all Point, our genetic genealogist and author, just said.
- 20:31Speaker 1: She said that they want to test for who Tessie's
- 20:35Speaker 1: and it's a shovel in a pickaxe, which really shouldn't
- 20:38Speaker 1: even be in the same sentence as your child that's
- 20:42Speaker 1: passed on. But for who may have tested for who
- 20:48Speaker 1: may have been there at the time of the death?
- 20:52Speaker 1: What does that mean? What exactly is the state looking for?
- 20:55Speaker 1: I would have assumed that the state was looking for
- 20:58Speaker 1: the children's DNA when they were dismembered or murdered on
- 21:02Speaker 1: that or shovel. Well, yeah, that I're gonna look for
- 21:05Speaker 1: the children's DNA, But also who was holding that shovel,
- 21:07Speaker 1: who was holding that pickaxe? Now one can assume and
- 21:11Speaker 1: the tape, and one can assume that Chad's DNA, Chad
- 21:14Speaker 1: Davel's DNA will be on that because it was his.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Then he maybe used those tools for other other things.
- 21:20Speaker 1: But will Alex Cox's DNA beyond that? Will Laurie vallows
- 21:24Speaker 1: DNA beyond that? What's interesting to me, Nancy, and all
- 21:27Speaker 1: of this and all of the public records, is that
- 21:31Speaker 1: all of the DNA they're collecting is from the remains
- 21:33Speaker 1: of JJ. They have not mentioned collecting any DNA from
- 21:37Speaker 1: Tyley's and from what we have heard is that because
- 21:40Speaker 1: there's not much left, those officers had to sift through
- 21:44Speaker 1: dirt to try to find any remain or any of
- 21:48Speaker 1: her remains, anything belonging to her. It was finally a
- 21:52Speaker 1: piece of tissue that they were able to identify her with.
- 21:56Speaker 1: So they're they're hopeful that they can get as much
- 21:58Speaker 1: as they can off of jj remains off of his
- 22:02Speaker 1: body because they don't have much to work with on Tyly.
- 22:05Speaker 1: Inter Joe Scott Morgan, Professor Forensic's Jackson State University. What
- 22:10Speaker 1: Nate Eaton said is absolutely correct, and I would like
- 22:15Speaker 1: you to explain to our listeners and viewers why we
- 22:21Speaker 1: can't get DNA regarding Tylely, the teen girl who was
- 22:27Speaker 1: just at that time starting to say no mom and
- 22:31Speaker 1: fight back with mommy and then whoops, I guess the
- 22:34Speaker 1: demon got enter and she had to be killed. Yeah,
- 22:37Speaker 1: well that yeah, yeah, and you know it's so gruesome.
- 22:41Speaker 1: What did In fact, at least it has been implied
- 22:43Speaker 1: to this point, we don't have all of the details
- 22:45Speaker 1: about Tyley, but we do know that, you know, you
- 22:48Speaker 1: were talking about the DNA sample a few months ago.
- 22:51Speaker 1: We would you refer to that as degraded. Hers is
- 22:55Speaker 1: greatly degraded to the point where it's almost non existent.
- 22:58Speaker 1: From a criminal standpoint and anything that you're going to
- 23:01Speaker 1: lift out of there as far as trace elements. So
- 23:04Speaker 1: what happened to her body? What did this child? And
- 23:08Speaker 1: post mortem? Yeah, and I think that you know, when
- 23:10Speaker 1: we begin to think about and as horrible as this is,
- 23:14Speaker 1: but when we begin to think about the aspect of dismemberment,
- 23:18Speaker 1: Nancy depended upon the amount of skeletal remain that they
- 23:23Speaker 1: found on her that we might be able to match
- 23:25Speaker 1: up tool marks, if they have some kind of instrument
- 23:28Speaker 1: that was used in order to conduct this dismemberment that
- 23:31Speaker 1: they keep it keeps coming up in the conversation. But
- 23:35Speaker 1: to a broader point when you think about JJ, and
- 23:38Speaker 1: I brought this up several times along the way, there's
- 23:41Speaker 1: this memorialization that took place with him that didn't happen
- 23:46Speaker 1: with her. It was it was just horrific with her
- 23:49Speaker 1: to the point where they completely got rid of her remains.
- 23:53Speaker 1: But with JJ, he might hold all of the answers
- 23:57Speaker 1: to this case. You know, you you mentioned hair just
- 24:00Speaker 1: a moment our Nate did, which I found quite fascinating
- 24:03Speaker 1: on the surface of this tape, not just that, but
- 24:05Speaker 1: the latent print which we would refer to on the
- 24:08Speaker 1: surface of that tape that he's the side of the tape.
- 24:11Speaker 1: That's called a plastic print, which it leaves this impression.
- 24:14Speaker 1: It's not like a print that you would commonly see
- 24:17Speaker 1: on a smooth surface, but literally it's adherent and you
- 24:21Speaker 1: can actually appreciate ridge detail and these sorts of things,
- 24:23Speaker 1: and we can classify that and that'll be tied back
- 24:25Speaker 1: to a specific person. But the hair, the hair if
- 24:28Speaker 1: that touched, say, for instance, the hair on the perpetrator's
- 24:33Speaker 1: arm and it pulled loose or on their hair on
- 24:36Speaker 1: their head. Remember, we shed hair, we shed skin. All
- 24:39Speaker 1: these things are going to be at heer about epiphilial
- 24:42Speaker 1: skin cells. I mean, by the time you take a
- 24:45Speaker 1: piece of duct tape and you rip it off and
- 24:47Speaker 1: then you wrap it around something, I've got to believe
- 24:50Speaker 1: that your epiphilial or skin cells are on that piece
- 24:54Speaker 1: of duct tape. Yeah, we we shed roughly about one
- 24:57Speaker 1: hundred thousand some people say skin cell and that's a
- 24:59Speaker 1: ru festiment. Skin sales per day. I mean, there's a
- 25:02Speaker 1: whole market built on skin loans and whatnot for dry skin.
- 25:05Speaker 1: That's just what you can see. The stuff that's invisible.
- 25:08Speaker 1: It kind of floats around again, that goes back to
- 25:10Speaker 1: touch DNA. But wouldn't it be fascinating How did you
- 25:13Speaker 1: cut the duct tape? You know a lot of people
- 25:15Speaker 1: will take duct tape and put it in their mouth
- 25:18Speaker 1: and tear it. I wonder if that's if that's an issue,
- 25:21Speaker 1: and then if that comes in contact, would say, And
- 25:23Speaker 1: it's the most passive thing that can happen in these
- 25:26Speaker 1: circumstances where you don't realize you're transferring your own DNA
- 25:30Speaker 1: to these surfaces. And for me, that's quite fascinating. The
- 25:35Speaker 1: instruments themselves, you know, that's going to be a bit
- 25:39Speaker 1: tougher to get because in the Morgue we actually do
- 25:42Speaker 1: blood cards where we'll take a drop of blood and
- 25:44Speaker 1: put it onto a card and we retain that, but
- 25:47Speaker 1: it's retained in a very environmentally secure environment. Okay, with
- 25:53Speaker 1: these these instruments, oh my gosh, those are gonna be dried.
- 25:57Speaker 1: And if it is blood, and I'm hoping that they
- 26:00Speaker 1: have established that without destroying the sample. If it is
- 26:03Speaker 1: blood and they extract that, well that's you know, did
- 26:07Speaker 1: the perpetrators hurt themselves? Had they been hurt? Did they
- 26:10Speaker 1: drip blood or is this blood that has been transferred.
- 26:13Speaker 1: I just had an idea Number one, J Scott, you
- 26:16Speaker 1: know what I'd like to see you do. I'd like
- 26:18Speaker 1: to see you do a whole issue on body bags
- 26:21Speaker 1: regarding specifically with this most recent motion by the state
- 26:26Speaker 1: and what we think they may obtain specifically forensic just
- 26:32Speaker 1: focused on the forensics and to share all the point
- 26:35Speaker 1: joining me genetic genealogist and author. We've talked about what
- 26:38Speaker 1: consumptive DNA tests are. You consume, You consume it all,
- 26:42Speaker 1: there's nothing left to test about how in many cases
- 26:46Speaker 1: contaminated DNA, even in small amounts, can be regenerated replicated. Oh,
- 26:53Speaker 1: what's a good example. What is that creature Jackie that
- 26:58Speaker 1: can grow or can do it? It's tail falls off,
- 27:02Speaker 1: it can grow another tail. A jellyfish can live forever
- 27:05Speaker 1: because it regenerates. Same thing with DNA. You take a
- 27:08Speaker 1: little and you can recreate it in the lab to
- 27:11Speaker 1: give you enough DNA to make the test. But share point.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Can we talk about epiphilial cell DNA as it relates
- 27:19Speaker 1: to this duct tape. Any chance that we could get
- 27:23Speaker 1: the killers skin cells or what about what about JJ's pajamas,
- 27:32Speaker 1: Could there be fiber or skin cells or hair on
- 27:35Speaker 1: his pajamas because he was basically hermetically sealed like a mummy.
- 27:40Speaker 1: What do you think about epiphilial cells on the duct
- 27:42Speaker 1: tape of the perp or possibly chase evidence left behind
- 27:47Speaker 1: on the pj's of JJ. You know there may be
- 27:52Speaker 1: DNA on those pjs, but just because it's on pj's
- 27:56Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean that that's the person who. Hey, you
- 28:01Speaker 1: know what, I'll take those odds, Cheryl a point who's
- 28:04Speaker 1: not only a genetic genial just but apparently a lawyer
- 28:07Speaker 1: as well. I'll take that. You show me, You show
- 28:12Speaker 1: me Chad day Bells, EPI filial or hair and filial
- 28:17Speaker 1: cells or hair on JJ's pj's. You put that to
- 28:21Speaker 1: a Jerry, the pj's he's wearing when he is murdered
- 28:24Speaker 1: and buried. I'll take it, and I will run with it.
- 28:28Speaker 1: I agree with you. But you know, thinking about duck Tate, Nancy,
- 28:33Speaker 1: I when I use duck Tate, of course, my husband
- 28:36Speaker 1: fixes everything with duck tape, but I cannot. I have
- 28:41Speaker 1: a hard time dealing with duck Tate by myself. It
- 28:44Speaker 1: almost takes two people. Okay, I have a hard time
- 28:47Speaker 1: relating to you. You You must have some really nice fingernails, okay,
- 28:50Speaker 1: because I can rip it off just like that, just
- 28:52Speaker 1: all the time. But you think we could get skin cells,
- 28:57Speaker 1: not just fingerprints, but skin cell off that duct tape.
- 29:00Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, and evidently there was hair on some of
- 29:05Speaker 1: this duct tape. And again, you know it's not so easy.
- 29:08Speaker 1: I actually had that conversation with doctor Nilman last week
- 29:11Speaker 1: about hair. Um. You know, it's it's the roots there.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Of course, you have a nucleus and it's easier to
- 29:18Speaker 1: find DNA, but if it's just a shaft of hair.
- 29:21Speaker 1: It actually, since twenty nineteen, you know, there's a technique
- 29:25Speaker 1: that can be used. That's who identify that hair. That's right.
- 29:29Speaker 1: You don't have to have a nucleus or the root
- 29:32Speaker 1: of the hair anymore. Which I know we're getting away, way, way,
- 29:35Speaker 1: way deep in forensics, but this is a huge, huge happening.
- 29:40Speaker 1: All jump in and talk regular people talk plays. I
- 29:43Speaker 1: beg you listen when we begin to think of Lori
- 29:46Speaker 1: and that her proclivity for her beauty and coloring her hair.
- 29:53Speaker 1: You know what's really fascinating about hair forensics is that,
- 29:58Speaker 1: you know, when we examine hair the mythology of it,
- 30:01Speaker 1: we can actually pick up on dies. Did you say morphology? Yeah,
- 30:05Speaker 1: there morphing, it's nature such as in again the taught
- 30:09Speaker 1: mom case hair from Kelly was found in the card trunk.
- 30:13Speaker 1: The defense tried to argue, well, maybe because it's only
- 30:16Speaker 1: mitochondrial DNA, it could be taught mom Casey Anthony's or
- 30:20Speaker 1: even her mother, Cindy Anthony's. But the reality is both
- 30:23Speaker 1: of those treated their hair, they colored their hair, whereas
- 30:26Speaker 1: Kayley did not, and the hair and the trunk was uncolored,
- 30:29Speaker 1: which means it was Kyley's hair. Is that what you're saying, Yes,
- 30:32Speaker 1: I am, and I think that'd be fascinating if that
- 30:35Speaker 1: was a hair. The Sharon jumping in, No, this is WITNYA.
- 30:40Speaker 1: I would call all of this forensic storytelling. This is
- 30:43Speaker 1: what I would darry it in front of the jury
- 30:44Speaker 1: because it's so important. We're talking about evidence providing a
- 30:48Speaker 1: narrative that the victims cannot. And then after we'd laid
- 30:51Speaker 1: it all out through all experts, like the other panelists,
- 30:54Speaker 1: we would say, the only reasonable interpretation of everything we've
- 30:57Speaker 1: heard points to guilt. So this is s fascinating and
- 31:01Speaker 1: it's not in the weeds. It's actually the type of
- 31:03Speaker 1: thing that will see blank what some of our jurors
- 31:06Speaker 1: are used to hearing our shows like BFI Time Stories
- 31:21Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace. Hey, guys, take a listen to our
- 31:28Speaker 1: cut eighty nine. This is our friend Knight at east Es.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Most likely they will want a representative from their team
- 31:35Speaker 1: in the lab when the testing is done, or excuse me,
- 31:39Speaker 1: the one a photographer with a video camera in that
- 31:43Speaker 1: lab when the test is testing is being done. That
- 31:46Speaker 1: will be up to the judge to decide how that happens. However,
- 31:49Speaker 1: with this motion that was filed today, there was a
- 31:53Speaker 1: statement filed by a lady who works at the lab
- 31:55Speaker 1: saying that they don't want a camera in there, and
- 31:59Speaker 1: they don't want any else in there. There could be
- 32:02Speaker 1: some worry that the DNA could be contaminated if you
- 32:04Speaker 1: have a camera in there, if you have somebody else
- 32:06Speaker 1: in there. So they are saying that it's best not
- 32:10Speaker 1: to at the State lab. So now it could be
- 32:13Speaker 1: moved to a private lab. No, no, no, no, Nate eaton, first,
- 32:18Speaker 1: I was going to talk to you about the irony
- 32:20Speaker 1: of the defense. Okay, So according to the State Chad Day,
- 32:24Speaker 1: Belle and Laurie Valo cult mom take part in murdering
- 32:28Speaker 1: her children. Now they're insisting that there is a camera
- 32:35Speaker 1: when the DNA on the pickaxe is being tested. That's
- 32:41Speaker 1: you know, wow, they got a nerve, right, But you
- 32:44Speaker 1: know what, I'd be mad if they didn't, and the
- 32:46Speaker 1: crime better suck it up and put a camera in there.
- 32:49Speaker 1: It can even be a robotic camera that at a
- 32:51Speaker 1: distance is not going to take the DNA all right,
- 32:56Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. So if they can't handle it,
- 33:01Speaker 1: then it needs to go to a private lab that
- 33:03Speaker 1: can handle it. I mean, Chryl a point. How could
- 33:05Speaker 1: a robotic camera in the distance tain't the DNA? Nancy.
- 33:09Speaker 1: I've been inside for instance, of Offer and Labs. This
- 33:13Speaker 1: testing is all done behind glass. You you cannot just
- 33:21Speaker 1: walk into the area where they're doing this DNA testing,
- 33:25Speaker 1: but you could stand behind the glass wall and video
- 33:28Speaker 1: what's going on. I don't know how their lab is
- 33:31Speaker 1: set up, and you know, I can kind of understand
- 33:36Speaker 1: the taining of the DNA, but honestly, there are ways
- 33:40Speaker 1: around this, you darn right, Cheryl A point. They may
- 33:43Speaker 1: need to bring you on of council to explain to
- 33:46Speaker 1: them that it can't be done. If the defense wants
- 33:49Speaker 1: a video, Fine, half a video. I don't think anybody
- 33:53Speaker 1: needs to pull a trick to prove that these children
- 33:59Speaker 1: were murdered by Daybell and Valoe in some way or
- 34:02Speaker 1: the other. Yeahs, let's bring it home to what we're
- 34:04Speaker 1: really talking about. Take a less an hour cut forty
- 34:06Speaker 1: six at Chad day Bell's preliminary hearing. You're a hearing detective,
- 34:10Speaker 1: right from a ceot on the stand. They removed some
- 34:13Speaker 1: soil and there was a Once they removed some soil,
- 34:20Speaker 1: there was a a black what I can best describe
- 34:26Speaker 1: as a black plastic bag with a round object protruding
- 34:33Speaker 1: through the dirt. Okay, what did you observe the r
- 34:37Speaker 1: team do after you saw that? They dug a little
- 34:42Speaker 1: bit more around the round object, which appeared to me
- 34:46Speaker 1: to be the crown of a head protruding through the dirt.
- 34:50Speaker 1: They used a small sharp instrument to cut through the
- 34:53Speaker 1: black plastic. There was a white plastic underneath the black plastic,
- 34:58Speaker 1: and they also used the white instrument to cut through
- 35:01Speaker 1: the white plastic. Okay, and what did you observe when
- 35:04Speaker 1: they did that? I observed what looked to be brown
- 35:08Speaker 1: human hair. Well, they'll stop there. Take listen to to
- 35:11Speaker 1: take to herma CEO and our cut forty nine. The
- 35:15Speaker 1: emmy grabbed a small sharp instrument and cut down the
- 35:21Speaker 1: middle of the black plastic. Okay, and what did you observe?
- 35:30Speaker 1: I observed a small child in red pajamas, red pajama shirt,
- 35:39Speaker 1: red pajama pants, black socks that had the words sketchers
- 35:45Speaker 1: in orange across the toes. Also observed a light and
- 35:50Speaker 1: blue blanket that had been placed on top of them. Okay, Detective,
- 35:57Speaker 1: were there when you observed what you perceived to be
- 36:03Speaker 1: a child? Where there was there anything that drew your attention? Yes?
- 36:09Speaker 1: Can describe one of you described for the court what
- 36:14Speaker 1: drew your attention the amount of duct tape that was
- 36:18Speaker 1: covering the body. That's j J. They're hearing about him
- 36:23Speaker 1: and his pajamas and his socks. But what about tiling
- 36:28Speaker 1: the tame girl? Take a listen, I cut forty eight.
- 36:32Speaker 1: Detective from a CEO. While you were in that area,
- 36:36Speaker 1: did you have a chance to further observe art excavate
- 36:42Speaker 1: that area you preferred to as the pet cemetery? Yes, okay,
- 36:47Speaker 1: what did you observe? I had been away from that area,
- 36:54Speaker 1: but when I returned to that area. They had already
- 36:57Speaker 1: dug down and located what a what would appeared to
- 37:07Speaker 1: be a mass of burnt flesh and charred bone. That's
- 37:16Speaker 1: what's left of their team girl, burnt flesh and charred bone.
- 37:22Speaker 1: According to the state they did that. Now, let me
- 37:26Speaker 1: go back to Nate eaton our star from East Idaho
- 37:29Speaker 1: News dot Com. Nate. One of the Purps is in
- 37:34Speaker 1: Fremont County Jail. One is in Madison County Jail. Is
- 37:38Speaker 1: it correct that today Laurie Valo had hot cereal with
- 37:44Speaker 1: butter and sugar. That sounds like cream of wheat or oatmeal,
- 37:49Speaker 1: baked ham, turkey ham pancake, bake with syrup, whipped margarine,
- 37:59Speaker 1: and fortified drink plus fruit. Is that right? That sounds
- 38:06Speaker 1: about right. I don't know the specific menu today, I'm
- 38:09Speaker 1: reading it. Trust me, I do trust you. What I
- 38:12Speaker 1: do know is that the jail that Laurie is in,
- 38:16Speaker 1: it has the best jail suit in the state. They
- 38:19Speaker 1: have a full service kitchen, They have a chef. They
- 38:23Speaker 1: do homemade bread, fresh fruit. You mean like Oprah. They
- 38:28Speaker 1: have a chef. I don't think it's as good as
- 38:30Speaker 1: Oprah chefs, but they do have a You have a chef,
- 38:33Speaker 1: I don't have. I don't have a chef. And I'm
- 38:35Speaker 1: hearing about Tyley who is nothing but tissue and charred bones.
- 38:46Speaker 1: And she is sitting at a table having a meal
- 38:50Speaker 1: prepared by a chef. Don't they also have fresh baked
- 38:56Speaker 1: bread every day? They do? Then the meals are so
- 38:59Speaker 1: good at this jail that the staffs often go down
- 39:01Speaker 1: and eat eat lunch. And then let's talk about a
- 39:05Speaker 1: day bell that poc fruit juice, high fiber, Ralston chicken, sausage,
- 39:13Speaker 1: biscuits with gravy, fresh fruit, sugar, substitute milk, coffee, peeb
- 39:21Speaker 1: and jake. He gets all that from breakfast? Am I hearing?
- 39:25Speaker 1: Biscuits with sausage and gravy. I had a cup of
- 39:30Speaker 1: tea with cashing milk in it, and he's got biscuits
- 39:34Speaker 1: with sausage and gravy. How does this happen? Am I
- 39:38Speaker 1: in bizarre Land? Do you know what that is? My
- 39:40Speaker 1: son was obsessed with? I guess it was Superman. Could
- 39:43Speaker 1: have been Batman who would go to another world and
- 39:46Speaker 1: fight his nemesis Bizarro, who lived in bizarro landon everything
- 39:50Speaker 1: was bass ackwards and upside down Why is he getting
- 39:56Speaker 1: chicken sausage and gravy and biscuits? What did you have?
- 40:02Speaker 1: We haven't had anything. Why is this happening? And that's
- 40:05Speaker 1: a great question, Nancy. I know that the there have
- 40:10Speaker 1: been lawsuits over the years about inmates being fed properly
- 40:14Speaker 1: nutritional standards. Woo woa, whoa wait waite what nutritional standards?
- 40:18Speaker 1: You know? Are they climbing that there's not enough vitamin
- 40:21Speaker 1: C and they shaken a biscuit? That could be a claim.
- 40:24Speaker 1: I don't know what the specifics on in the past,
- 40:27Speaker 1: but these gels have to have certain standards of what
- 40:29Speaker 1: they feed the inmates, make sure they're fed X amount
- 40:32Speaker 1: of times per day. And Laurie definitely is well taken
- 40:36Speaker 1: care of. She can have good food now, and I
- 40:38Speaker 1: have heard from reliable sources that she has complimented how
- 40:42Speaker 1: good the food is at the facility and that it's
- 40:44Speaker 1: much better there compared to the state hospital where Okay, stop,
- 40:48Speaker 1: you're actually making my head hurt. Laurie Valoe has a chef.
- 40:56Speaker 1: He makes her fresh baked bread. And I'm hearing about
- 41:01Speaker 1: the remnants of Tyley's body, charred bones and fat tissue
- 41:09Speaker 1: just buried in a pet cemetery. You know what. I
- 41:14Speaker 1: pray that Sheryl Appoint is right and that this DNA
- 41:18Speaker 1: can be replicated, regenerated so we get a positive result.
- 41:23Speaker 1: We wait as justice unfolds. Goodbye, Think
