Chad Daybell is charged with the first-degree murder of his first wife Tammy Douglas Daybell, and, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, the late children of his current wife.

Chad Daybell is married to Lori Vallow Daybell, who was convicted of six felonies last summer involving the deaths of her two children and conspiring to murder Chad Daybell’s late wife, Tammy Daybell.

Spencer Cook, the technology director of Sugar Salem School District where Tammy Daybell worked took the stand and described an email he was asked to retrieve.

Cook testified that law enforcement contacted him about Tammy Daybell’s email and specifically asked for any emails Tammy Daybell received from Charles Vallow on June 29, 2019. Cook was able to retrieve the email, which states,

“Tammy my name is Charles Vallow. I have some vital and disturbing information regarding your husband and my wife, Lori. This is your work email so I’ll wait to send you the “evidence” that is very disturbing. You may call or email me from the address where you can receive the information. I apologize to be the one sending this but something has to be done. I feel it’s best if I shed some light on the “issue.” Regards Charles Vallow.”

Cook said the email was “in her deleted file,” and was opened. The email from Charles was put into the “blocked” category so any emails from Charles would have been blocked.

Other emails

Vincent Kaaiakamanu, with the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, testified that Chad Daybell ranked people as “light” or “dark.”

In a Google chat Tammy Daybell and Chad Daybell shared with their children, messages sent reference these rankings, revealing that family members were aware and familiar with the “light” and “dark” rating concept.

Two other emails from Tammy Daybell to her son, Mark Daybell who was serving as a missionary at that time, were shared with the court. Both emails detailed finding raccoons in the yard and trapping or killing them.
