Detective describes JJ Vallow autopsy | 'very easy to identify that little boy on the table'

In the murder trial for Lori Vallow, Rexburg Police Det. Ray Hermosillo described the day he met with the Ada County medical examiner to be present for the autopsies of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, whose bodies were found buried on Chad Daybell's property in Rexburg on June 9, 2020. The children were missing since September of 2019.

Daybell and his wife Lori Vallow, or Lori Vallow Daybell, are both charged with the murders of the children, as well as the murder of Daybell's former wife, Tammy Daybell. The two are also charged with conspiracy to commit murder and grand theft in relation to the deaths. The opening statements in Vallow's trial began Monday.

Hermosillo told the jury that forensic crews marked "an area of concern" in Chad Daybell's backyard because the grass and dirt looked uneven, so they began digging. They did not get very far until Hermosillo said everyone smelled "a strong odor."
