Yes and no.

I think he's waiting to see how things play out. Right now, he's a free man. He may think that he's completely off the hook and only LVD is in trouble. If he files for divorce, she may turn on him, and we don't know what she might have on him.

Also....I'm not a lawyer, but perhaps he's considering 'spousal privilege'. If that comes into play, I believe it means he can't be compelled to testify against LVD (and vice versa) as long as they are married.
So true

Without the children's bodies, I think they have to prove that TD and AC were murdered and tie it into that. But, these two are incredibly stupid, so they probably left a trail of evidence.
JJ makes this a bit more nuanced. He has been formally identified through 1) medical specialist prescribing FDA indicated medication for autism associated aggressive behaviors, 2) was evaluated and met criteria for special education, and 3) met criteria for having a disability and receiving federal disability payments BEFORE CV death (in a much earlier thread there was reference to a communication from Lori to his school in AZ, in the context of notification of withdrawal, thanking them for assistance in providing documentation so he could receive this). If Lori cannot document that he is receiving appropriate care for his heavily documented medical diagnosis; that is not only “neglect” in the common context of not providing for a minor, it is MEDICAL neglect.
 
Has the Ring doorbell video been cleaned up enough to hear what's going on in the background? It sounds like someone comes to the door and gets onto one of the boys. MOO It sounds like a female says something to JJ. Then there is a conversation when the lady runs to the house. I'm sure the police know what is said. I'm wondering if it was ever released to the public. I just wanted to know what was said to the kids in all honesty. IMO It might tell more about the frame of mind the person was in that day. Just a day to day frame of mind.

Neighbors said in the October video, JJ Vallow yells, “Get the hell out of here!” before running into his townhome with the little boy.

The video faintly captured the other boy’s reply, “don’t say that word, that’s a bad word.”

Once inside the townhouse, what appears to be a woman’s voice was heard saying, “don’t say that word. I mean it, don’t say that word.”

Minors don't count towards spousal privilege. Jmo
 
Idaho Law, Spousal Privilege in Crim Cases. Available to Chad or Lori?
.... 'm not a lawyer, but perhaps he's considering 'spousal privilege'. If that comes into play, I believe it means he can't be compelled to testify against LVD (and vice versa) as long as they are married.
sbm @ajaylee Thanks for bringing up this issue. Text of ID statute below.
1. Where? Crim charges re the kids are being brought in ID, right? So ID statute applies.
2.a. When? Would any relevant stmts btwn them have pre-dated their marriage? If so, IDK if ID SpousalPriv would attach to such pre-marriage stmts.
2b. When? IIRC, Lori & Chad were married this past summer, so there would be no issue re the July 1, 2018 effective date* of ID statute below. If I'm wrong on marriage date, possibly wrong re SpPriv.
IIRC, this statute allows either spouse to claim the SpPriv and refuse to testify. BUT per ID's statutory
exceptions below, SpPriv is not avail to either spouse (to refuse to testify or to prevent the other from testifying), when---
d.1. "Communication relevant to an issue concerning the physical, mental or emotional condition of or injury to a child, or concerning the welfare of a child including, but not limited to the abuse, abandonment or neglect of a child." bbm
Per ^ I doubt whether either Lori could prevent Chad from testifying or whether Chad could refuse to testify re spousal "confidential communications" involving a child/the children's physical, mental, or emotional condition or injury. Just imo.
Possible 5th A issue? If either refused to testify based on claimed SpPriv, and if prosecutor argued that no SpPriv exception because of child-related issue, seems either Chad or Lori could refuse to testify based on Fifth A'mt.
Kinda thinking aloud here, my 2 cents, could be wrong.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Idaho Rules of Evidence

(a) Definition. A communication is "confidential" if it is made during marriage privately by any person to the person's spouse, and is not intended for disclosure to any other person.
(b) General rule of privilege. A person has a privilege to prevent testimony as to any confidential communication between the person and his or her spouse made during the marriage.
(c) Who may claim the privilege. The privilege may be claimed by the person or by the spouse on behalf of the person, or by the lawyer for the person on behalf of the person. The authority of the spouse or lawyer to do so is presumed in the absence of evidence to the contrary.
(d) Exceptions. There is no privilege under this rule:
(1) Child related communications. In a criminal or civil action or proceeding as to a communication relevant to an issue concerning the physical, mental or emotional condition of or injury to a child, or concerning the welfare of a child including, but not limited to the abuse, abandonment or neglect of a child.
(2) Criminal action. In a criminal action or proceeding in which one spouse is charged with a crime against the person or property of (A) the other spouse, (B) a person residing in the household of either spouse, or (C) a third person committed in the course of committing a crime against the other spouse or a person residing in the household of either spouse.
(3) Special proceeding. In proceedings (A) under the Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act, or (B) concerning desertion or non-support of a spouse.

Hopefully he will be arrested soon. He is as guilty as she is. He had some involvement with TDs death, and at a minimum assisted with disposal of her kids. He doesn’t deserve to meet anybody else.

I agree. For all we know, CD could be responsible for initiating all of these deaths.

If he is the cult leader and they all believed his self serving “visions” and were happy to do his bidding, then he should certainly be locked up along with Lori.
 
I've randomly pondered trying to find her wedding dress. Kind of a "what Lori wore" type of project. Jmo
Several super sleuth shoppers from a popular SM group have already tackled this project. Can be seen on a Mar 24 thread.

I’m partial to the one that has 4 pieces: •DownEast camisole t shirt
•Amazon lace body suit
•Amazon skirt
•Amazon tulle table runner

That table runner is a nice touch! Lovely . . . was that the train on her wedding dress?

I'll look. A table runner? Lol.

She has a tulle sash, so I suspect that's what they're referring to.

There's definitely a scoop-neck cap-sleeve tee and a tulle sash involved. The rest of the outfit has a stretch floral lace, 3/4 sleeve top (and it probably is a bodysuit -- there's no closure in the back) and it's floor length.
 
I am still on the fence of whether or not Tylee died in YNP. I think it to public a place, they may have thought about it but I think she was killed on the way home instead. Under cover of darkness and so much wilderness...jmo

I agree that anywhere along the route is possible, though it sounds like LE is pretty convinced she never left the park.

But they wouldn't have had to leave just to find a dark location. Most of Yellowstone National Park is wilderness, and even the more crowded areas have many isolated areas nearby. You can drive long stretches of road and not see anything but elk, bison, and the steam of geysers just off the road.

I forget who said they thought it was outside the park. I do too. Unless the task was specifically planned around one of the geysers ... i just don't think they would have done it with so many people around. I still feel there is another person involved. I hope we find out if anyone else was in that picture at YNP.
