Police discovered JJ’s body first, Hermosillo said, buried near a pond beneath soil, rocks, and wood paneling. As soon as they removed the topsoil, Hermosillo said, “there was a strong odor that, through my training, I knew was a decomposing body.” The body was wrapped in black plastic, and the detective could see the crown of JJ’s head.
Tylee’s remains were found elsewhere in the property, in a pet cemetery near a fire pit. Unlike JJ’s body, which was mostly intact, Hermosillo said that at the second burial site they first found only “clumps of rotted flesh, charred flesh, … a piece of broken charred bone sticking up through the dirt, [and] bone fragments” in the soil. He testified that they also found a melted green bucket containing other remains, including organs.
. Chad has remained behind bars ever since, awaiting his own trial for the killings of his previous wife and two stepchildren. Investigators finished excavating the burial sites on June 10, and on June 11 they met at the Ada County coroner’s office in Boise toof the children’s remains, performed by medical examiner Garth Warren. Under a duct-taped black plastic bag, they saw JJ was wearing red pajamas and white socks.
Hermosillo also testified about photos depicting the last evidence of “proof of life” for JJ and Tylee: Tylee on Sept. 8, 2019, in Yellowstone National Park, and JJ on Sept. 22, 2019, wearing red pajamas on a couch at Lori’s Rexburg apartment. It was that night, Melanie Gibb testified, that she and her boyfriend, David Warwick,
; the couple were staying at Lori’s and saw Lori’s brother Alex Cox take his nephew up to bed. Gibb and Warwick left the next day. It was yet another alleged act of violence within Vallow Daybell’s circle that led to Hermosillo’s involvement in the case: He was tracking a Jeep that Arizona authorities alleged was involved in the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux, the ex-husband of Lori's niece Melani Boudreaux.
Freaking monster. No punishment is too harsh.
So sad
