Fremont County Sheriff's Office says Tammy Daybell's autopsy results could take up to a year
[...]
The Fremont County coroner is not speaking publicly about the case.
Under Idaho law, if the death appears natural the coroner isn't required to do an autopsy, but Ada County Coroner Dotti Owens says that is unusual, unless the decedent has been under the care of a physician.
"When we arrive on scene, if we don't see anything that we would that we would dub to be suspicious circumstance and we feel like this person has got an extensive medical history, what we would do is call and speak to the primary care physician," Owens said. "We would verify that medical history, review those medical records and then at that point release that individual so that primary care physician can sign that death certificate out."

It has been weeks since Tammy Daybell's autopsy was performed and
there are still no results, according to Fremont County Sheriff Len Humphries.
Humphries says it could take up to one year.
Owens says that could be because they don't know what they are looking for.
"If we don't know what we are looking for the possibilities could be endless," Owens said. "People can be poisoned with rat poison, or fluid for your vehicle, it could be an anti-freeze, it could be anything. There are all kinds of things we have seen come forward in toxicology. We would need somewhere to start, we need to find out what we are looking for to start searching."
KTVB's request to obtain the 911 call audio from when Tammy Daybell was found dead was denied by the Fremont County prosecutor's office.
Currently, Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell are not facing any criminal charges.
