I may have missed this, however, I can't for the life of me remember if this was discussed. I am so curious as to why a storage unit was needed in the first place with at 2 garages in the Rexburg townhouses. Why couldn't items be stored there rather than rent a unit? I guess Lori was using her's for her car and Chad's car. Chad, I'm sure couldn't risk anyone seeing his vehicle at her home.
I suspect it was to hide evidence of what they were doing, if the police caught up with them and descended on their homes without warning.

Utah doing Tammy's autopsy?
Utah for Alex and MBP trespassing
Hawaii ?
Montana for YNP?

Small part of YNP are in Montana and Idaho, but the vast majority, including the parts we know for sure they went to are primarily Wyoming. The only exception to that is that if they entered at West Yellowstone, MT (as we've assumed, but don't think know for sure) they would have been in Montana for the first 2-3 miles.
 
THANK YOU SO MUCH GARDENER1850!!!

I have lots of questions about Melani.... (but I didn't want to put in the entire quote, so I hope this formats.)



Where was Melani during this time???



That's the home where Brandon was shot at...correct? Brandon AND Melani's Chandler home?



Where was Melanie at the moment all this was happening?
On the way to Vegas to get married.

Add Wyoming to the list. We don't know the exit they used do we?
Probably add Californis too as they were there for a short while - well Chad was anyway.

Add Nevada too.
 
I was reading earlier about Tammy's exhumation and got curious about the process. Since she was buried here in UT, I went to the UT code to determine how it happens, etc. What I found the most interesting is that there is a provision for notification of the executor or heir of the deceased person's estate in order to give them the right to object.

There's also a provision that allows the DA or county attorney to motion (upon ex parte hearing, meaning the heir in this case, wouldn't recieve notice or be present) that the body be exhumed without notification. There has to be a showing of exigent circumstances (necessary to prevent physical harm to officers or other persons, destruction of relevant evidence, escape of suspect, etc) and the personal appearance of the medical examiner. The UT code lays out reasons for why the notice would not be given, and includes sudden death, suspicious death or when the request is made to assume custody by a county or DA or LE agency in connection with a potential homicide investigation or prosecution. There are other reasons, but those seemed the most applicable in this case.

It is possible that he was notified, but, it hasn' t been socialized. I imagine, however, that if he was not notified, that those court documents are sealed. I can attempt to get them, perhaps later this week, if they aren't sealed.

I can confirm Gilbert/Chandler Police will be represented at a meeting w/
@FBISaltLakeCity
tomorrow into Thursday. Agencies will be updating each other on their investigations tied to Lori Vallow/Chad Daybell & the missing kids (JJ/Tylee). #fox10phoenix

So tomorrow and Thursday. AC's autopsy was to be complete 3/12, I think.

Maybe Chad was notified which then lead... to the death of Alex.

ETA: Not suggesting Chad was the culprit in AxC's death. (want to make that clear)

"Lori reportedly began reading Chad's writing while she was living in Hawaii with Charles, JJ and Tylee between 2014 and 2017.

It's unclear how or when exactly Lori and Chad met, but family members say it was sometime around June 2017.

The pair made their first appearance together in December 2018 on a podcast for Preparing a People.

Lori and Charles' marriage deteriorated rapidly as she became more and more involved with Preparing a People, and he filed for divorce and for custody of JJ in February 2019.

(There is a picture of Lori in here that makes her look as if she is pregnant but I can't copy it without getting the whole article. It is the last pic of her in the article if anyone can copy it in.)

Wednesday into Thursday. That's a heck of an update meeting.

Gilbert PD
Chandler PD
Rexburg PD
Fremont Co Sheriff (idaho)
FBI

Any other dept? Is Maricopa County involved (medical examiner)?

I think this meeting would have Chad and Lori shaking in their respective loafers & shower slides. I sure hope it does, anyway!!

Both Chad and Tammy's families live in Springville. It is a smallish close knit community. I would not be surprised that someone heard about the exhumation and called Chad.

Does anyone remember the date that Tammy's dad found out? Not saying that he made the call. Our maybe he did and was like WTH, Chad?

Quite possibly. My opinion only, here, but I tend to stick to the simplest explanation being the easiest. If sources are correct, and he can be linked to her death, then I am going to surmise that it was a hefty drug overdose for both of them. Like meth or heroin type of drugs.

That sounds very possible, also.

2 Oct 2019, abt 9:14 am – BB, husband of Lori’s niece Melani, is shot at in the driveway of his Gilbert, AZ home; A bullet narrowly misses BB and shatters the driver’s side window of his Tesla.

The shooter is driving a vehicle matching the description of Tylee’s Jeep. BB calls 911. “Did you see the guy that, that actually—” The dispatcher begins to ask. “I didn’t see who it was,” BB answers. Much of the call is redacted.

I couldn’t believe I hadn’t been awakened somehow, but all indications are that her spirit simply slipped away during the night. Her face looked serene, with her eyes closed and a slight smile. It was devastating to discover her that way, but I’m so grateful that her death was peaceful.” Chad also writes that after her death Tammy told him “several messages…and I’m in the process of implementing what she has told me to do.

Wow! You are amazing! I have no idea what you do for a living, but you should be in law enforcement or a PI or something. Thank you for taking the time to lay this all out for everyone. It makes it soooo much easier to follow everything. And who knows maybe something in your timeline will help LE find out what happened to sweet Tylee & JJ!
 
Does anyone know if there was a life insurance policy on Alex's life? Was he an independent trucker, or did he work for a company that might have that kind of benefit for employees? Was there a policy purchased on his life after his recent marriage? And if so, any payout?
Quite possibly. My opinion only, here, but I tend to stick to the simplest explanation being the easiest. If sources are correct, and he can be linked to her death, then I am going to surmise that it was a hefty drug overdose for both of them. Like meth or heroin type of drugs.

My suspicions of what chemicals and where bodies might be hidden continually come back to Alex. He worked for a hazardous waste trucking company usually on a route from Coolidge AZ to Bentonville Arkansas. There is a lot of empty land on this route! This is why I keep thinking body or bodies might have ended up in AZ. One poster here thought he had been fired from there, but I don't think we really know. However, once he was dead, I would absolutely assume that LE was in direct communication with that company.
