At the time, Chandler Police officials said Vallow was at the home to pick up his son & later engaged in an argument with his wife, Lori Vallow. Vallow's brother-in-law, Alex Cox, was also in the home. Investigators said Cox intervened on his sister's behalf. Vallow & the brother-in-law were later involved in a physical fight & Vallow was shot by Cox. On Sept. 30, 2021 Vallow's autopsy report was released. The Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office stated the cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds & the manner of death is homicide. In the medical examiner's report, the evidence of injury details more gunshot wounds to Vallow's chest, bruises on the right side of his chest, abrasions on the left arm & right hand, as well as on the knees. The toxicology report showed no positive findings of drugs in Vallow's system.

1/10/23 Update: Motions hearing on 1/19/23 re motion to continue & 2/9/23 both at 9am & pretrial hearing on 2/23/23. 1/12/23: 2nd Stipulation for consumptive testing of forensic evidence on a newly discovered hair sample. State's response to defendant's motion for a joint settlement & strategy session.
1/19/23 Update: John Prior asked Judge Stephen Boyce to delay the trial until April 2024 as he is awaiting potential DNA evidence from the Idaho State Lab that he worries will take time to get back. Judge Boyce DENIED the request to continue but said he will not “force” Chad into a trial if he & Prior have not had enough time to examine the evidence. “If we are on the eve of trial & the State has exculpatory evidence & did not provide Mr. Prior enough time, at that point, the cases may be severed,” Boyce said. But says that it is premised on speedy trial rights expressed by co-defendant Vallow Daybell. Judge Boyce DENIED State’s request to sequester jury: " I believe adequate steps can be put into place to not require sequestration during the course of the trial & the court will take those steps very seriously." Judge Boyce DENIED motion for Lori & Chad to meet. Expresses security concerns (not having a deputy in the room with Chad & Lori) and says "it's an idea that is full of pitfalls that would far outweigh any conveniences." See post #117 (article) on page 6 for hearing info. Next motions hearing in the case is scheduled on 2/9/23.

John Prior says Chad's notice of alibi was served on the State on 1/3/23 & disclosure of Chad's forensic pathologist's expert witness report on /25/23. 1/26/23: Declaration of Greg Hampikian in support of motion to extend time - he says he is retained as DNA expert for Chad & will need 8 weeks from receipt of State's DNA evidence to review & provide his report. Motion in Limine filed by the State to exclude any potential mental health evidence for Chad at the time of the crimes, based on his waiver of the defense.
1/30/23 Update: Review hearing set for 1/31/23.
