The state's triple murder case against Chad Daybell continued Thursday.

The focus all on Alex Cox, Lori Vallow Daybell's deceased brother.

"On October 9th, 2019, a device that was associated with Alex Cox known as Homer J. Maximus.
Maximus was located going up and turning next to the Daybell residence, and driving, and making a turn, and going back around the Daybell residence," testified Kaaiakamanu.

Four hours later, Chad Daybell's wife is calling 911 to report a man in her driveway with a gun.

Dispatcher: "Fremont County Sheriff's Office."

Tammy Daybell: "Hi, I need to report something."

Dispatcher: "OK. Go ahead. What's the address?"

Tammy Daybell: "OK. 202 North 1900 East, the corner with the blinking yellow light on Salem Highway."

Dispatcher: "Is it a suspicious person?"

Tammy Daybell: "Yes."

Dispatcher: "OK. What was he wearing?"

Tammy Daybell: "He was all dressed in black and he had a ski mask on."
