Found Deceased ID - Joshua Vallow, 7, & Tylee Ryan, 17, Rexburg, Sept 2019 *mom, stepfather found* #11

[Gardener1850]

Every time I go back to the time line I see something else I missed or forget. Lori lives next door to her sister?! In Idaho? I thought she had 1 sister who died in 1998? How many siblings are there? AC lives in the same apartment complex?! This is 2 days before he is married in Nevada. If the FBI is raiding his home 2 days before he gets married I have to think AC's wife knows something. Not implicating her, just saying how can you not know the guy you are about to marry is having his property raided by the FBI? MOO

Yes there is another sister of Lori and Alex that is alive but she has not been named by the press so we can't name her here. They also have another brother named Adam (Lori mentions him in police interviews). Lori is one of 6 siblings born to the same 2 parents. 2 sisters are deceased-- Stacey in 1998 and another sister died as an infant before Lori was born (I can't name her and I don't think it's relevant anyway). 4 Cox siblings survive: Lori, Alex, Adam & unnamed sister. We don't really know much about the living situation in Rexburg or why/how/when the 3 siblings ended up there. It seems they may have helped move Lori there first (about Sept 1) then the others moved on different dates but that's speculation based on when the units were listed for rent. Many have also speculated that the "sister" referred to could be someone else and perhaps the neighbor assumed she was Lori's sister. Or perhaps the neighbor was lied to or mistaken. There is speculation here that the sister might actually have been Lori's niece Melani. IDK.

I am struggling with this. Lori and Chad would be absolutely non-plussed if they truly believe they are the chosen ones who will survive whatever they say is going to happen in 5 months when the world ends. Do they really believe that? Or is that subterfuge to keep them by the pool in Hawaii when Idaho is getting 2 feet of snow? Or subterfuge for the sake of selling more books in the future?

We have been discussing plenty of angles here but I don't see many people weighing in on whether their doomsday prophecy beliefs are self serving for whatever ends, or if they truly believe.

I think they (particularly Lori) "believe" when it suits their purpose, like getting people to do their bidding, or give them money. Lori does seem to think she is special; but more in a Kardashian-like "diva" way, than a woman who reveres God. MOO.

 

[CuriousQuiet1]

It was reported a few days ago by East Idaho News that there are 2 Rexburg police officers, 1 county sheriff, and an Idaho DA in Hawaii. Do we know if they are still there? It seems expensive for a small town/county to commit that many resources to just be on stand by.

On a slightly different note, there was a search warrant issued for LV/CD's rental vehicle in Hawaii and it was impounded. Am I right that the search warrant would have come from Hawaii LE? Can Idaho or Arizona LE request a search warrant on a vehicle in another state? If they can, surely they must have evidence to suggest a crime related to that vehicle in Hawaii, right?

 

[mrjitty]

I'm fairy certain that CV's death was planned by her. And I don't think it is coincidence that all theses death/shootings/marriages/divorces are all happening in a short period to all these people associated with the same unmentionable group. I'd love to hear if there are more strange things happening related to members of the group, especially sudden marriages and divorces.

BBM

It's basically two deaths of their respective spouses and two disappearances of dependent minors in 100 days - before we even think about Alex in December

I mean that is a pretty insane set of 'coincidences'

Great questions! IMO, it's hard to know. They wouldn't be the first people to have extreme doomsday beliefs, but this publicity is also a decent sales pitch for people that believe in their message. There is a market for Chad's book amongst doomsday preppers, and people that like fiction with end of the world themes.

With that said, I don't want to get too deep into what they may truly believe. It would take us down a very deep rabbit hole that involves religious beliefs, and we've been asked to stay away from that, if possible. At the end of the day, what really matters is the kids. Where are they? Are they okay? The religious stuff is a story of its own.

 

[mrjitty]

The texts were horrible.

I find them deeply suspicious

 

[Gardener1850]

I'm going to attempt to post the latest timeline update shortly (Update 5). It is in 5 parts now and very long (I have 45 pages in a Word doc). It will take some time for me to format and post each part. There is too much new stuff to mention everything new but one big change is that Part 3 is a timeline of ONLY July 11th, 2019-- the day that Charles Vallow was shot to death, including lengthy summaries of Lori and Tylee's interviews at Chandler PD. I'm certain that as soon as I post there will be more info released but that seems to be the nature of this case. MOO.

 

[diggndeeperstill]

45 minute unfiltered interview. I’ve not listened yet .

RAW INTERVIEW: Full 42 minutes with Colby Ryan
Lori Vallow's son Colby Ryan and I have been in talks since I began covering this case. I wanted to ask every question I could think of but in my humble opinion, the art of the interview is important in journalism. I'm not here to interrogate anyone. Approach the subject with respect and not bias. I know you all that have been following the search for JJ and Tylee have dozens of questions. I get messages daily.

Here's the unfiltered interview with Colby about how his relationship with his mom took a downward spiral and how he's coping with the fact that Lori won't cooperate with authorities. With each report, we hope to fill in the blanks of the twisted timeline. We're not going off baseless tips. We're trying to uncover facts and provide the truth.

I wouldn't be surprised if they take the opportunity to turn this into a grift.

 

[WhereIsWaldo]

That's true for a some members, but when popular podcasters or writers are excommunicated, it's usually in the local news. It was big news when Julie Rowe was excommunicated, and since Chad was her publisher, I'm sure we would have heard about his excommunication.

Good point which is why I think it as likely that he was disfellowshipped in his local ward or stake. From what I have read, CD and TD have been upstanding members for decades, sealed in the temple (?), have five children, had and fulfilled callings in the church...I would expect leadership to look at the totality of his membership when taking disciplinary action. Certainly, the alleged “apostasy “ activities with other fringe groups would have influenced their decision.

Thanks for this @Gardener1850

It's a great resource for those of us new to the case! I am sure more will be joining the thread

Yes there is another sister of Lori and Alex that is alive but she has not been named by the press so we can't name her here. They also have another brother named Adam (Lori mentions him in police interviews). Lori is one of 6 siblings born to the same 2 parents. 2 sisters are deceased-- Stacey in 1998 and another sister died as an infant before Lori was born (I can't name her and I don't think it's relevant anyway). 4 Cox siblings survive: Lori, Alex, Adam & unnamed sister.

Correction, and I know you know this perfectly well @Gardener1850 and your fingers simply jumped ahead of your brain : Alex does NOT survive, so there are only the 3 siblings left.

Thanks for sharing that relevant information. From any perspective, it’s a lot of moving in/moving out in a relatively short period of time. Certainly, disruptive for children let alone adults.

Lol, oops! You are correct.

ETA: He was alive at the time of Lori's move to Rexburg and I think that's what tripped me up, as I was replying to a post about that time period.

As I recall, the welfare check on the children happened on 11/26/19? Apparently, LV and CD were there, at the location where the welfare check happened, but left the next day? Then, a couple of days later, her brother and her niece married new spouses...in Las Vegas. Seems like she was close to both of them, even for a quickie marriage in Sin City,...wouldn’t she want to be there? Odd, that AC, who had moved to Rexburg with his sister, Lori, would then move out and marry ZP, from Arizona, in Las Vegas. Odd, that the niece, MB, would suddenly marry IP, in Las Vegas, within a day of AC getting married? I have to assume that LE is also checking Las Vegas regarding hotel accommodations, flights, etc...? IMO

Apr 2018 - Joseph Anthony Ryan, Jr. -- 3rd ex-husband of Lori, and father of Tylee, dies at his AZ home. The ME’s report reveals that a neighbor asked for a welfare check on JR when he hadn’t seen JR for approx 1 week. Police used a key from the landlord to enter JR’s locked apartment and found him dead in bed. The coroner’s report says that samples of the liver and thigh muscles were taken to be “held” for toxicology, but the death was not considered suspicious; it is unclear if toxicology was ever run. The death was ruled a heart attack and JR was cremated, meaning no 2nd autopsy can be done (Maricopa Co Coroner’s Report, Fox13 Phoenix).

(Divorce Documents, Fox10 Phoenix).

She says she doesn’t want anything to do with the children anymore; she says she will drop off JJ at school in the morning and CV can pick him up in the afternoon.

Detailed Case Timeline Part III (Update 5)

MISSING: Joshua Jaxon “JJ” Vallow & Tylee Ashlyn Ryan

POI’s: Lori Norene (Cox) Vallow & Chad Guy Daybell​

A Timeline of July 11th 2019, the day Charles Vallow was Shot to Death

Summary: On the morning of 11 July 2019, Charles Vallow was fatally shot twice in the chest at his rental home in 5500 block of S. Four Peaks Place, Chandler, AZ, allegedly by Lori's brother Alex Cox during a family argument. Lori was living in the house with Tylee and JJ but separated from CV at the time. CV came to the house to pick up JJ. Lori, Tylee and JJ were all at the house when the shooting occurred. AC claims he was hit in the head with a baseball bat during the incident. AC called 911 and performed CPR on CV until Chandler PD & emergency crews arrived. Police initially ruled the death self-defense and no charges were filed; However, Chandler PD have since said the investigation remains open due to the missing children case (Fox10 Phoenix, Daily Mail).

Abt 6:30/7:00 am – Lori’s brother, Alex, says he wakes up after spending the night in Lori’s Chandler, AZ rental home (curbside bodycam interview w/Alex).

Morning – Lori’s husband, CV, wakes up at a hotel where he has been staying for a few weeks while Lori and the kids live in the rental house. At some point he tells a hotel employee to expect him and his son JJ back for breakfast that morning. It is unclear what time CV left the hotel to go pick up JJ (Fox10 Phoenix).

7:30 am - Lori says she had JJ’s backpack ready for school and she looked at the clock to note the time (Lori’s CPD interview).

Abt 7:35-7:40 am – Lori claims CV arrives at about 7:35ish to 7:40 and is running late, which was unusual for him; he is usually punctual. She tells him to “go now” and get breakfast for JJ from Burger King. Lori claims CV takes JJ to the car but had left his phone on the kitchen counter and comes back in for it. Lori picks up CV’s phone and refuses to give it back to him. Lori says she was trying to see texts he had on his phone and asking him about his texts to her other brother Adam. Lori says she wouldn’t give CV back his phone and he was screaming at her to give him back his phone. Lori said she was “just holding it there” and he was screaming at her. Lori said she was “kind of walking around the house so he couldn’t get it” and “he was kind of reaching for it”. (Lori’s CPD interview).

11 July 2019, 7:50 am -Tylee says she wakes up hearing yelling in the hallway outside her bedroom door and grabs a bat she keeps next to her bed. Tylee comes out of her room and sticks out the bat. CV grabs the bat to pull it out of Tylee’s hands, Tylee lets go of the bat and falls to the floor. AC grabs CV from behind, they both fall to the floor and somehow CV hits AC on the back of the head with the bat. Tylee is sent out to the car to stay with JJ at some point after her fall to the floor. Lori says she doesn’t know when AC went to get his gun or if he already had it on him during the fight. (Lori & Tylee CPD interviews).

11 July 2019, Approx 7:5X? - 8:XX? am - Lori says she heard a gunshot and walked from the kitchen to the living room to find Charles' body. Then she checks on the kids in the car. She almost went back inside before ultimately driving off. This conflicts with Alex’s account given in his curbside interview that Lori and the kids left before he shot Charles (Fox10 Phoenix).

11 July 2019, Approx 7:5X? - 8:XX? am - Tylee says she is outside in the car making sure JJ does not go back inside when she hears a loud noise; Tylee did not know what the noise was at first-- at the time she heard it she thought it was the sound of someone hitting the metal bat on the floor really hard. By the time of her police interview, however, Tylee says she found out what the sound actually was. After the gunshot Lori immediately comes outside. After coming out Lori sent Tylee back inside through the garage to get Lori’s purse out of the master bedroom closet. Tylee says she didn’t see anything when she went back inside. While no timeframe is given for how long the fight lasted, Lori says several times in her interview that this whole thing happened quickly (Lori & Tylee CPD interviews).

11 July 2019, Approx. 8:XX? - Lori Drives away in CV’s rental car with JJ and Tylee to take JJ to school. It takes about 15 minutes to drive to JJ’s school. No time frame is given for when Lori drove away but Lori says the fight happened quickly and that she was only in the car for “a minute” wondering what to do before deciding to drive JJ to school and get him and Taway from the scene (Tylee & Lori’s CPD Interview).

Abt 8:20 am – The time JJ’s school gates open (Lori’s CPD Interview).

Abt 8:32 or 8:35 am – The time that AC says he shot CV according to his “er, couple of minutes” statement at the beginning of the 911 call. He says later that the shooting happened about 5 minutes before he called 911.

8:37 am - Alex makes a 6 min call to 911: "I got in a fight with my brother-in-law. and I shot him in self-defense," AC says. An EMT instructs AC over the phone on how to perform CPR on CV; AC answers questions about what happened and says his is doing the chest compressions while talking. AC says his gun, a .45 caliber pistol, is in a bedroom and no one else is in the house. AC at first says the shooting happened “a couple minutes ago” then later in the call he says it happened “5 minutes before I called”. AC says CV “came at me with a bat” and “I’ve never seen him that enraged before”; AC says CV lives in Houston; AC is not sure where Lori went but he thinks she has taken JJ to school. 911 operator asks Alex to walk outside with his hands up; AC complies with the cellphone cradled in his shoulder (911 call, Fox10 Phoenix, NBC12 News).

Abt 8:43 am – Body cam video shows police entering the house after Charles was shot and after Alex exits. We see CV’s blurred body on the living room floor laying parallel to a large wall mirror. CV is face up with his arms spaced out evenly at his sides and his feet towards the kitchen; his head is in the direction of the front door. The bat is on the floor near the wall, it is located to the right and above CV’s body, not in his hand. Police clear the rest of the home and note that the gun is on the floor in a bedroom. The bedroom is pink with black and white stripes. Alex claims in his curbside interview this was the bedroom he was staying in the night before; AC says he took the gun back there after shooting CV and cleaned up his head before calling 911. Police cannot find any identification on CV’s body and they look around the house trying to find his wallet (bodycam video, Fox10 Phoenix, AZ Republic).

Abt 8:43 am – Body cam videos show curbside interview with Alex at the scene of the house where CV was shot to death. "What happened today? How did it get to this?" the LEO asks AC. "I don't know. He was enraged," AC replies. AC says “He was accusing me…” but he doesn’t finish that thought as a loud Fire Engine pulls up. LEO tells AC to move away from the loud truck then asks AC “What was he accusing you of?” AC replies “I don’t know. He was just yelling at me.” AC says that Lori, JJ & Tylee left the house shortly before the shooting occurred. Then AC says, "It was over my sister. He was getting physical with her, so my niece came out with her bat and he took the bat away…" but the LEO interrupts and asks "Wait a minute. I thought you said your niece left?" AC replies "She did. this was before," AC says he grabbed Charles from behind, and they fell to the ground. When AC gets back up, he explains how he gets hit in the back of his head. "I turned around and he hit me in the back of the head with the bat, so I went to my room and got my gun, 'cause I always carry it," AC says. AC claims he warned Charles to drop the bat before shooting him twice in the chest. We also learn that AC doesn’t live at the house, he is just visiting Lori and stayed the night before; AC drives a truck as a long haul trucker but he is on vacation; AC says he was planning to “do something fun” that day (body cam video, Fox10 Phoenix, AZ Republic).

Abt 8:48 am – Body cam video shows Lori & Tylee returning to the house where CV was shot; they park across the street from the house and approach the LEO talking to Alex; LEO tells Lori and Tylee to wait by the car across the street. After a while LEO talks to them curbside to get their names, phone numbers and ID; Lori says CV lives in Houston, they are separated and that she moved into the house about 3 weeks before; Tylee says she is 16, her driver’s license is inside the house; Tylee says she once drove to Arizona from Texas all by herself (Fox10 Phoenix).

Morning – Alex, Lori & Tylee are all taken to the Chandler PD station for more interviews. Alex is taken in a separate vehicle and all 3 are interviewed in separate rooms.

Approx 9:16 am – Alex is placed in the back of a police car to be transported to the station. Bodycam video records some of the conversation on the way there. LEO pats AC down, takes all the items out of his pockets and puts in a clear plastic bag, then gives him a bottle of water to drink. AC is placed in the back of the car without any handcuffs. LEO turns on the air-conditioning and tells AC how to adjust his own vent in the back. They make small talk about the weather and how hot it is in AZ as LEO drives. AC asks LEO about his vest and how hot it is to wear. AC asks if Chandler is more dangerous or Fallujah and LEO replies he wouldn’t know, he has never been to Fallujah. LEO asks AC why he has a rental car & AC says it’s not his rental, AC says he drives the F-150 truck in the driveway. LEO says he didn’t realize that and radios back to the other LEOs still at the house to make sure they know the rental car Lori drove away in belongs to CV and the truck belongs to AC. LEO asks AC about the truck he drives for work; It’s a 10 speed automatic, it struggles to go up hills; AC picks up hazardous waste in Arizona and takes it to Arkansas for his job (CPD bodycam, Gray Hughes video).

Approx 9:34 am – Alex and LEO driving him arrive at the station parking garage. LEO escorts AC into the office, still no handcuffs and asks him to stand by a desk for a minute while LEO looks around for an empty room. LEO asks if AC needs to use the bathroom. LEO asks AC to put his things down on a conference table in a room with several chairs and directs AC which chair to sit in. LEO examines the back of AC’s head with a flashlight and asks him how his head feels. AC says “a little sore, but not bad.” LEO asks AC if he is having any headaches and AC says “a little bit.” LEO asks AC if he feels nausea and AC says “a little but not bad.” LEO asks if he wants to have a dr look at his head and AC says, “no, it’s more adrenaline than anything.” LEO asks for medical history; AC says he is slightly overweight and his blood pressure was a little high his last physical, but he’s not on any medication and doesn’t have any medical conditions (CPD bodycam, Gray Hughes video).

Approx 9:43 am – Lori is interviewed at CPD, after she uses the restroom. The LEO interviewing her asks Lori to confirm she lives at the house where the shooting occurred and for some background. Lori repeats that she moved in about 3 weeks ago; they were previously in Houston. CV and her are separated but he rented the house for her in AZ so she could be near her family. CV was always “all about” JJ but never about Tylee. Lori explains that JJ is CV’s great-nephew and JJ had been “a drug baby”. They adopted JJ. CV travels all the time for work.

Lori says CV visited once since they moved from Houston and brought her some things but he hadn’t been back and had sent her “all these threats”. Lori mentions “It was on her phone all the time”. LEO asks about the threats and Lori says the LEO would have to see them, CV was always mad at her; CV didn’t want a divorce, but she didn’t like him and didn’t want to deal with him. They have been married 14 years. Lori says CV has always been “horrible to her” while pointing to the room where Tylee was waiting; Lori says CV was always getting into huge fights with Tylee “and it was a lot of things.”

Lori said CV told her “all of a sudden” that he was coming Wed night and he wanted to see JJ. Lori says she told CV she would never keep JJ from him and he could come take him to school anytime he wanted. LEO asks for clarification on when they moved, when they separated and why CV was buying Lori a house in the area. Lori corrected LEO and says CV promised to rent her a house. Lori says that they lived in AZ for a long time, all her family was there, but CV “ripped their son out of school and said they were moving to Houston”; Lori advised she didn’t want to go to Houston and she didn’t go with them at first; She let CV take JJ to Houston and she didn’t file anything. CV filed something and told her she was only going to get supervised visits with JJ because she was crazy. Lori says she “just didn’t talk to him for like 30 days and let him take care of their son, to let her husband see what she has been doing for the last 7 years.” Lori says she has other kids and grandkids too. Lori says “she knew he would be begging her to pick him up, which she stated he did.”

Lori says that eventually CV asked her to come back and that she did move to Houston “for the family”. She and Tylee “left everything to go to Houston.” Lori then talked about problems getting services for JJ and how CV “didn’t do anything”.

Lori indicated CV hadn’t been here in a couple weeks and he had been “nasty” when he was here. CV contacted her and said he was coming Wednesday night and he was going to pick JJ up and take him to school Thursday and then pick him up Thursday and take him Friday. Lori seemed fine with that but told CV he couldn’t stay at the house because he couldn’t get along with Tylee. Lori says CV gets into huge fights with Tylee and Tylee hates CV.

Lori told CV he couldn’t stay at the house and she would get him a hotel; he stays in hotels all the time when he travels, his business pays for it. Lori say CV’s job gives him freedom so he doesn’t have to stay home every day and take care of a special needs child. Lori indicated she does that. Lori says she was a single mom before she married CV; "she has 2 kids and he had 2 kids and they got married and tried to make a family”.

Lori stated that JJ goes to school all day and she talked about how she is just getting his services back. Lori talked about how JJ has been a nightmare because CV ripped JJ out of his routine. Lori described how JJ freaks out when he finds out dad is coming because he associates when dad took him to Houston so Lori didn’t tell JJ that he was coming. CV didn’t bother her last night which she was kind of surprised about because she was expecting “kind of an ambush” that he would just come over and be “just mean”. Lori was expecting CV to say it was his house and he was on the lease so he could stay there; “Lori said that is his macho kind of attitude.”

Lori says CV came over this morning and she was getting JJ ready; LEO asks if CV came [into town] last night and Lori says yes but she didn’t hear from him except that he texted her to say he would be there at 7:30 to pick up JJ.

Lori says CV came over in the morning and he was banging on the door. Lori said “here we go” so she was just trying to be nice and had JJ’s stuff ready for school. Lori stated he had said he would be there at 7:30 but it was more like 7:40, 7:35ish but she wasn’t sure. Lori remembers looking at the clock at 7:30 and indicated he is usually very punctual. Lori says JJ acknowledged his dad and then ran to Lori and said CV wasn’t taking him to school; Lori says she was trying to make things calm and told JJ it was ok that daddy drive him to school. Lori says CV was being real “Smirky” and “Jerky” to her but she was ignoring.

LEO asked if her brother AC lived there with them. Lori said her brother had stayed there last night because Lori was worried CV would come over and “cause trouble with” her. Lori said she just wanted someone else there, wanted her brother there. Lori trusts her brother. Lori lived with AC when CV took JJ to Houston. Lori said she was getting JJ’s stuff ready and CV was saying he was leaving in 20 minutes, mentioning it was 15 minutes to the school. Lori mentioned that you can’t get there early because they don’t open the gates until about 8:20 or something. Lori suggested to him that they go now, because she didn’t want him in the house, so they could go to Burger King and get breakfast. JJ is very particular about food and wants chicken fries and Sprite for breakfast.

Lori told CV to go and he agreed so Lori gave him the backpack and they got in the car. Lori stated CV “always leaves something in the house, that he always comes back and he never leaves the first time” and she is always expecting CV to come back in the house. Lori advised CV had left his phone on the counter. The LEO asked where JJ was and Lori confirmed CV took JJ and his backpack to the car in the driveway but came back in for his phone.

Lori said his phone was on the counter and then Lori had his phone. He told Lori to give him his phone and she told him “why don’t you show me your text that you’ve been texting.” Lori says CV has been acting really “weird” like he he’s been “plotting something”. Lori asks CV why he was there, why he came into town and then she brings up that her other brother Adam came into town at the same time. Lori says she hasn’t talked to Adam in a long time and “she was questioning as to why they talk and if they talk”. Lori Say CV has been sending texts like “you’re going down” and he is “blaming her for their marriage breaking up and other marriages around them and calling her a destroyer of families.”

Lori stated CV “goes nuts” and then indicated that he’s gone nuts before and that she and Tylee have had to leave with JJ before, 5 times over the years. They’ve stayed in a hotel for 2 days before “because he goes nuts”; Lori said “you don’t know what’s going to set him off.” Lori mentioned that they have JJ and he is special needs and it’s really hard. LEO asks what Lori means by “go nuts” and Lori says yelling and screaming. LEO asked about physical violence and Lori says “grabbing and pushing them but never punching them.” Lori says CV has gotten physical with Tylee and with her grown son; LEO asked “physical how?” and Lori says CV got into a fight with her older son, Colby, when he was 16. Lori says CV “went after Tylee two times in Hawaii and he went like he was going to hit Tylee” but Lori got between them. Tylee was 13 & 14 at the time.

LEO returns the conversation to what happened this morning. Lori said CV came back in and she wouldn’t give him back his phone and he was screaming at her to give him back his phone. Lori said she was “just holding it there” and he was screaming at her. Lori said she was “kind of walking around the house so he couldn’t get it” and “he was kind of reaching for it”. Lori said Tylee came out of her room upset and she had a bat. Tylee told CV to “leave her mother alone” and Lori says CV screamed at Tylee “Don’t you hit me with that bat.” Lori said her brother Alex heard the commotion and he came out into the main room.

Lori said CV is screaming and is super upset. Lori doesn’t know if Tylee swung at him or what but CV grabbed the bat from Tylee and went to hit Tylee with the bat and her brother grabbed him from behind to stop him from hitting Tylee. Lori said then they [AC & CV] get into “the thing and he’s hitting her brother with the bat” and “they’re on the ground like grappling around or whatever.” Lori said it happened quickly. LEO asks if CV hit AC with the bat while they were grappling and Lori says yes and is swinging with her right arm downward; Lori says CV is swinging the bat back and forth and they are on the ground. Lori said she is freaking out and is trying to go around and knows JJ is in the car.

Lori says CV gets up and moves the bat towards her; Lori motions with her right hand “as if a person would be swinging backhanded.” Lori says she is going around the other side and trying to get out of his range so he can’t hit her. Lori starts to say she told Tylee and then she stops and explains to the LEO Tylee is on the ground because when CV took the bat Tylee “fell back”. Lori told Tylee to go get in the car with JJ because she didn’t want JJ coming in and she wanted Tylee out and didn’t want the kids in the house for whatever “this fight was going to be”.

LEO asks what CV and AC were yelling during this fight and Lori says things like “get off me” and “ow” but she “didn’t really remember specifics”. Lori says there were not many words “during the heat of it that she remembered,” LEO confirmed Tylee went outside and then asks what happened. Lori says AC and CV got up and CV was coming at her with the bat, yelling at her to give him his phone. “She still had the phone in her hand and all this happened really quickly.” Lori went around kind of the circle and AC was there. LEO asked how CV was holding the bat and Lori motioned with her right hand as if in a backhand and then said he was holding it backwards with one arm. Lori said he was holding it in a way that if he swung it he would have swung it backwards. Lori said “she was kind of turned around and they all (all three the kids were outside) heard the gunshot. LEO asked that she heard the shot and she said yes. LEO asked if Lori actually saw the shot or if she only heard it. Lori said she had gone around to the kitchen to get away from him and then come back around. “Lori said that she didn’t see the shot, that she heard it, and she came back around and she saw [CV] on the ground.”

Several lines of the interview are redacted. Lori got in the car and they left.

LEO asked again about when Lori came around and saw CV on the ground where was AC. Lori says AC was right in front of CV and it all happened very quickly. LEO asked if Lori and AC said anything to each other after CV was shot and Lori said no that they were in shock. Lori went to check on the kids and was going to go back in maybe but she didn’t. Some more lines are redacted. Lori was in the car for a minute wondering what to do and she didn’t know what to do; JJ was in the car and Tylee was freaking out. Lori decided to take JJ to school and away from the scene.

LEO asked Lori if she knew at what point AC had the gun—did he have it on him during the fight or did he have to go get it. Lori stated she didn’t know. She didn’t see him leave the room but it was all so fast. LEO asked if AC normally carried a gun. Lori says AC is a gun person and has guns. LEO asks if Lori knew AC had a gun when he came over to her house. She says no but “she wouldn’t be surprised if he did because he’s professional with guns.” LEO again asked if Lori heard AC or CV say anything while she was trying to get away, prior to when she heard the shot. Lori thought about it & said no.

LEO asks Lori if there was anything else that they didn’t cover. Lori thought for several moments. She said CV was just “so angry, super scary”, and she described how a 16 year old acts when you take away their phone. She says there was something on the phone that CV didn’t want her to see and he was freaking out. Lori says CV was “freaking out to the point that she thought he would hit her in the head with the bat to get the phone.” LEO asks if Lori thought it was possible CV would hurt her and she says “absolutely” and also Tylee. Lori says he would never hurt JJ. Then she adds that CV did hurt her brother AC, he was going “ballistic” and it was “bad.”

Approx 10:14 am – Tylee is interviewed at CPD. Tylee says she woke up around 7:50 because she heard yelling right outside her door. She says she immediately jumped up; She explains she has a baseball bat from when she lived with her uncle; when she was at home alone it made her feel safer, she is not old enough for pepper spray; LEO says he has never been in the house and asks her where her bedroom door opens to. She explains the layout of the house. There is a hallway with 3 bedrooms-- hers, the guest room where AC stayed and JJ’s room- then the kitchen and then the room “where everything kind of happened” was a big empty room with mirrors on the walls. She opened the door and it was her stepdad CV outside the doorway and her uncle AC kind of in the doorway and she could hear her mom behind him.

Tylee says that CV was screaming at AC and Lori but Tylee doesn’t remember what he was saying. Tylee says she told CV he was too close and asked him to take a step back. Tylee says that CV replied “don’t tell me what to do”. Tylee says she stood there and AC kind of moved out of the way and Lori went past him into “the big room where everything happened” and Tylee walked with them. LEO asked if they were more in the hallway and she clarified that they were at the end of the hallway. Tylee says she didn’t really do anything with the baseball bat, “she just kind of held it there”. Tylee says they were both yelling; LEO asks who she means was yelling when she says “they” and Tylee says only CV was really yelling and Lori was “responding”. Tylee couldn’t say what they were saying.

Tylee said she kind of stuck the baseball bat out there and CV grabbed it and tried to take it but she held onto the end. Tylee says she eventually fell and CV took the bat and held onto it. She saw CV take a step back; she thinks AC grabbed him and took him back. Tylee says her mom told her to go with JJ and she ran out the door. Tylee says JJ was in the front seat so she opened the door and stood there. Eventually Lori came out and they left from there.

LEO asked if Tylee knew what happened or if Lori explained anything to her. Tylee says she heard a noise and she knows what it was now, but at the time she thought it was the sound of the bat hitting the floor. There are several lines of text redacted next

LEO asks Tylee again to describe where she was and why she put the bat up. Tylee describes standing more next to Lori, not between Lori and CV and she says she put the bat up because CV was getting too close. The LEO asks what Tylee thought CV was going to do and Tylee says, “hit her.” Tylee says for the most part it has been very mundane but there have been “violent times” when she was scared CV would hit Lori. Tylee says CV and her “have always kind of never got along, since she was little.” Tylee says there have been a few times that they have gotten into fights and she has been scared.

The LEO asks Tylee to describe again what happened when CV grabbed the bat. Tylee says she stuck it out and motions with a 2-hand hold. Tylee says CV told her she would go to jail if she hit him with it and Tylee didn’t say anything. She says she held it out and CV took it, she sort of lunged forward and lost her footing. Tylee says Lori said “Just Let go” and Tylee slipped and fell on her side. After that her mom told her to go so she ran out the door. LEO asks if when she fell could she see what CV did with the bat. Tylee says no she wasn’t really looking in that direction. The LEO asked again about when CV took a step back if Tylee saw AC pull him back. Tylee says she didn’t really see AC pull him back but it seems like that’s what happened. She says she didn’t think CV would have stepped back on his own. LEO then asks if Tylee saw what happened with AC and CV when her mom told her to go. Tylee says no.

LEO asks if after Tylee went out and Lori came outside to the car did she never go back inside. After Lori came outside to the car, Tylee says she went back into the house through the garage door to get Lori’s purse from her closet so they would have her wallet. Tylee says she didn’t see or hear anything when she went back inside. LEO asks her if she went back in after Lori came out and after hearing the loud noise and Tylee confirms. LEO asks where Lori was when Tylee heard the loud noise. Tylee thinks for a moment and says she believes Lori was inside but the door opened almost immediately after.

LEO asks Tylee to describe how everyone (AC, Lori & CV) were acting emotionally while it was happening. Tylee says CV “looked honestly like a crazy person, screaming, and his face was beat red.” Tylee says “she saw [CV’s] face for a split second when he took the bat from her and it didn’t look like him, that he looked like pure rage and he was seeing rage.” Tylee says that was the craziest she has ever seen him. Tylee says AC was being calm, not super calm because it was stressful. AC was just standing there and not saying much and he was being protective of her mom. Tylee says again that CV was yelling and Lori was just kind of talking. LEO asks if she could remember what they were saying or why CV was mad. Tylee says she didn’t and she was sorry. She doesn’t remember what they were saying and she just heard yelling.
