PHOENIX — A police detective who analyzed phone records for the day Charles Vallow was shot and killed said the location records do not add up with what Lori Vallow Daybell and her brother Alex Cox reported to officers that day.
Chandler, Arizona, police detective Ariel Werther said the 911 call from Cox reporting that Vallow had just been shot came in at 8:36 a.m. on July 11, 2019. Werther said Daybell arrived at her home at 8:48 a.m., after police officers had arrived, so they were surprised when Daybell said she was there when her husband was shot.
Later, the detective said consistent GPS data from Vallow's cellphone, which Daybell had with her, matched location data from Daybell's own cellphone, showing it was nowhere near her home when 911 was called.
Ultimately, Werther said all the data "led to the inescapable conclusion that either the shooting did not happen that close in time to the 911 call or that she (Daybell) wasn't there for the shooting — I could not see a third way of interpreting that data."
He did not hypothesize which of the two ways of interpreting the data matched better but said if Daybell had been present when her husband was shot, then the shooting would have occurred at least 45 minutes before Cox called 911.
Daybell is on trial in Arizona on charges she conspired with Cox to kill her husband. Tuesday was the sixth day of trial, and prosecutors have said they intend to finish presenting their evidence this week. Cox died a few months after...
