Thank you, Anna.
Good morning. Morning lettuce.
We had just finished with some
text on July 15th of 2019 and
ending with a chat that it
occurred with Lori Valo and
from Charles Valio's son.
Do you recall? Yes.
Let us turn some to some more
conversations or information
you included in your summary.
From July 15th of 2019.
So if you could look at the next slide,
I think it's noted as slide
16 and take a look at this.
Now this is the same exhibit that you
prepared in summary for court t.
And just so the records clear,
this summary is a summary of wh?
It's a summary of content from 2 iCloud
accounts, Lori for style@icloudm
and lollytime@icloud.com that ws
part of the evidence submitted y
the obtained by the investigatos
containing the defendants
communications with people.
Correct. Okay now.
If you could take a look at the
next slide and we'll go through
just these two on the 15th,
can you tell us why you
included these two messages?
Yes, I included these messages
because they were a reference to
the relationship between
Chad de Bell and Lori Valo.
And there was a statement
from Lori Valo about the
status of that relationship.
Okay, if you could just read
into the record please,
so that it's clear what are thee
text communications between Chad Valo,
Chad Debell and Lori Valo that
you included from July 15th
line 2827 from Chad Debell to Lori Valo.
I know you won't get this
text for another hour or so,
but my love for you is overflowing right now.
I just want to hold you endless.
You are my wonderful best friend
that I can't live without.
Line 2826, from Lori Valo to Chad de Bell.
And yet you are so sad. Missing.
You just landed, got to get to .
And so why did these two particular texts,
amongst the thousands that you saw, catch
your attention and include in the summary?
It discusses Chad Bay Bell's statement
that he can't live without Lorio
and she responds. And yet you ae
Why was that relevant For
investigative purposes
Your honor calls for legal conclusion.
My question was cut off your ho.
I said why was that relevant
for investigators purposes?
And I'm objecting as it's as it calls
for legal conclusion. It's overruled.
Thank you. Your Honor, you may answer.
It was clear to investigators tt
the relationship between Chad Dy
Bell and Lori Valo was a driving
force behind the crimes that
have been alleged in this case.
Turning to some conversations on July 18th,
and I believe these go on for a few bits,
but could you take a look at th?
Why did you include these
particular communications? This
slide and two or three slides ar
this slide contain a text string
between Chad de Belle and Lori
Valo regarding the fact that Ch,
excuse me, Charles Valo,
had changed the beneficiary
of his life insurance.
From Lori Valo to another individual.
I included this because it was pertinent
in terms of potential financial motives.
In this case. If
you could, starting with the lines on
page 17, could you take a look at those
and read those into the record? Yes, line
2706 from Lori Valo to Chad de .
I just got the letter from
the insurance company saying
that I am not the beneficiary.
It is a spear through my heart.
Who do you think he changed it ?
Brandon or probably Kay.
He left nothing for JJ line 27 O
5 from Chad de Bell to Lori Val.
Wow, that's terrible.
There's no way to find out.
Line 27 O 4 from Lori Valo to Chad Day Bell.
I might be able to see when I
get his computer on Sunday.
I could check I the emails sent
to the insurance company.
It will show change of benefici.
He must have done it recently.
If you could continue on slide ,
read those as well
Line 27 O 3. From Chad de Bell to Lori Valo,
it seems you would have
had to agree to the change.
Maybe your name was forged. You should
have a good paper trail to prov.
Line 2702 From Chad de Bell to Lori Valo.
I love you. This is terrible,
but it is probably another step
in bringing down the Gaddy Anto,
especially Brandon. Line 27 O o.
From Lori Valo to Chad Debell. .
He can change it anytime he wan.
He's the agent and anyone can
change their beneficiary anytime
with their own signature.
I'm thinking it must be K line .
Excuse me, from Chad Debell to Lori Valo.
It will be interesting if it got changed
after he had two bullets in his chest.
And continuing on this, this line of summary
line 2699 from Lori Valo to Chad Debell,
I don't think it could have,
you can't change it after the death date.
They would review that line 2698
from Chad Debell to Lori Valo,
Yes, I'm thinking K as well.
She is probably freaking out
that you got those computers.
I'm going to shower and give you a blessing.
I'm eager to get home so we can talk.
It really will be okay my love.
You are wonderful Line 2687
from Lori Valo to Chad de Bell.
So I talked to the insurance company.
He changed it in March, so it ws
probably Ned before we got rid of him.
They can't tell me to who,
of course, but it's done.
I'll still get the 4000 a month from s s
line 2683 from Chad de Bell to Lori Valo.
When you get out of the temple,
please text this phone.
I'm home alone until about 3:30.
Your time. I love you so much.
Now, you indicated that you incd
this in your summary of the text because
it discussed potential financial
motive for various crimes. Corr.
Let's go back and look at this sort of
beginning of this text communicn
and what if that Why did you tak
about getting the letter or ince
getting the letter from the insurance
company saying that she wasn't,
that Lori was not the beneficia.
Why did you include that text?
I included that because it was apparent
that Lori Valo was surprised to find out
that the beneficiary had been changed
and was there. Turning to the next slide,
was there anything significant o
you about it is probably another step
in bringing down the Gladiatten,
especially Brandon in your review of the.
I all the iCloud records in context of the
entire investigation that you were part of,
did you understand what that me?
Yes. What did that mean?
Gadians is another reference
to the Book of Mormon.
The Gadians were a secret socie,
a group of robbers, evil people.
So when the the phrase Gadian is used,
it's simply identifying someone as being.
Evil in this case,
or also in this case,
Brandon Boudreaux.
And why would the inclusion of Brandon
Boudreaux in a conversation about Charles
Valo's life insurance money havy
significance to you in the investigation?
But I object as it misstates the
evidence that's actually been presented.
There's no reference to Brandon Boudreaux.
I'll sustain the objection. OK,y
would the reference to Brandon?
In the text at line 27,
O2 have any significance to yous
it's inserted in a text conversn
about Charles Valo's life insur.
That particular line in and of itself
isn't terribly significant other
than we know from the investigan
that that marriage was also in.
A tumultuous time.
But it was a text in a series of text
strings, one following the othe.
So I included it in amongst this series
and what, if any, significance
was there to the conversation
about he can change it at anyti.
I'm think and ending with
I'm thinking it must be K
Did you know who K was? Yes. Who was K?
Kay Woodcock, Charles Vallow's sister
and Turning to the Line, 2687.
What, if any, significance in te
investigation was there to a conversation
about 4000, a month from s s.
That's a an indication that Lori Valo
would still receive that amount of money
on a monthly basis from Social Security.
And as of July
18th, 2018-2019, had Lori Valo
yet started to receive Social
Security from JJ or for JJ from
Charles's Social Security accou?
Not at that date that took
place a little later on. And
yet it's referenced in line
2687, correct? And that text
communication about anticipated Social
Security funds was on July 18th,
2019 from Lori Vallow to Chad Daybell.
