BOISE, Idaho — The Chad Daybell triple-murder continued through the first week of May with friends and experts testifying.
JJ Vallow's grandmother Kay Woodcock, as well as Chad Daybell's mother and sister-in-law all testified in court on Thursday.
Chad's mother, Shiela, talked about her surprise after finding out her son married Lori shortly after the death of his first wife, Tammy Daybell.
Additionally, Chad's sister-in-law Heather Daybell took the stand and testified that it was odd how Chad explained Tammy’s death from choking on vomit.
“The whole time he was explaining that, it felt scripted to me, like he was reading it or it just felt very scripted was the word that came to my mind and it made me feel very uneasy," she said during the Thursday court proceedings.
A neighbor took the witness stand Wednesday to testify of their experience when learning of Tammy Daybell's death.
On Monday, Agent Nick Ballance, an expert in using phone records for investigation, took the witness stand and Hannah Parker (Munoz), Tammy Daybell's second cousin also testified.
RECAP: The Trial of Chad Daybell Day 13
Following a brief sidebar to discuss scheduling, Judge Steven Boyce agreed to move to end the trial proceedings early Monday.
Court will pick back up again on Wednesday morning.
On Friday, prosecutors hinted that the next witness would have a "lengthy testimony," prompting the court to break for the weekend.
During week three of court proceedings, a neighbor of Daybell, church friends and others were called to testify.
Over the weekend, friends and family gathered in Idaho Falls to remember JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, nearly five years after their passing.
JJ's grandfather, Larry Woodcock, was at the event to honor his grandson saying, "JJ was amazing, and Tylee was his protector."
Court proceedings are expected to resume with more witness testimony throughout the week. However, no court will be in session on Tuesday, April 30.
