Police searching for Rexburg children believed to be in serious danger | East Idaho News

I believe this is going to be a more complicated case than it looks on the surface. The children's mother (Lori Wallows) recently married a man (Chad Daybell) a few weeks after his wife died. It was presumed the late wife had died of natural causes but was exhumed recently and her death is now being investigated.
The new wife's husband was shot in a family argument earlier this year:

Chandler Police identify man who was shot dead during family fight

The husband and wife are not cooperating with police and have since vanished.

(Divorce Documents, Fox10 Phoenix).

30 Jan 2019 – When CV arrives back at his AZ home he finds Lori has changed the locks and removed “the majority of CV’s possessions”, including CV’s business computer and CV’s shoes, clothing and underwear; Lori also took JJ’s service dog’s collar, JJ’s medicine, clothing and i-pad. (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.

31 Jan 2019, 12:36 PM – Lori along with Tylee and Lori’s friend go to Gilbert PD with a harassment complaint. Lori says that her husband, CV, stole her purse from her car while she walked JJ into school. Lori also accuses CV of cheating on her while on his business trips.

CV says that he saw Lori’s purse outside the school and picked it up to keep it safe; The LEO on the phone informs CV he could be charged with theft but that Lori only wants her property back; CV replies that he wants his share of the money Lori had removed from their business account. CV asks GPD if they are going to serve Lori with the petition for involuntary hold since she is there at GPD. The GPD officer on the phone tells CV he is not aware of the petition but if CV agrees to bring the petition and Lori’s purse to GPD he will have it verified by his sergeant.

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.

Some Quotes from the Jan 7th Presser:
“These are beautiful young children. They’re two extremely intelligent young children and we want them back. We want them back in our family,” -LW

“If there is anything that Lori can come forth with and help us, please do it. She knows how much we love these kids, and we want only the best for them. That’s it. It’s that simple. Please give them back to us.” -LW

“All I want before I go is just to see those children, I just want to hear him beat on the drums, I want to hear him say, ‘Papa, let’s go ride’ or ‘Let’s go to Checkers and let’s go get a hamburger.’ I’m hoping beyond hope that that happens in the near future.” -LW

“Sometimes [JJ] may call and say, ‘Papa!’ and then, he’d just go away. ‘Gotta go, bye!’” -LW

“J.J. is my heart, I’m hoping this will allow one person to simply say ‘I saw (him). I know where he’s at,’ and give us that information, so that we can bring J.J. and Tylee back." -LW

“We want and believe that they are alive, and that’s the reason for the reward,""It’s the reason, we don’t say, the ‘d’ word. We’re not going to because we hope and pray these kids are alive." -LW

“If somebody two years ago would have said ‘This is what’s going to happen with Lori,’ I would have never believed it, Kay would have never believed it. If Kay and I would have had any thought in the future that we were going to be involved in an issue like this, we never would have let J.J. up for adoption. It never would have happened, and now this happened. Lori was a good mother when J.J. was young. You couldn’t ask for a better mother.” -LW

“Lori, you know how much we love J.J. You know my heart beats for him. Kay loves him. All our family loves JJ. Pick up the phone. Call me. Call Kay. If you don’t want to talk to authorities, talk to us." – LW

“If this reward can prompt that, then that’s what I want. They’re good kids. They don’t deserve this. And we as a family don’t deserve it.” -LW

“Please, just let us know where the kids are. It’s not difficult. It would end all of this.” -KW

“I just can’t... I don’t know what to do. I had my hopes up for today... hopefully being able to see our grandson.”

"I know she doesn't have them I pray that they are with a family somewhere that is caring for them,"

“I would like for her to be in jail until she talks,” “If that’s a month or a year or whatever the situation, she needs to be there until she talks. She’s got to say where they are. She has to.”
“How do you not have your child for four months? What kind of a mother does that? The only word that is coming to my mind right now is ‘monster’ and as much as I loved Lori…all this has just been very disheartening and I have so many questions,”

“We’ve had a really rough few weeks and then once we learned about the order being given to her Saturday, that really gave us more hope that at least we’re now seeing things happening,”

"I'm not at all surprised of that. Lori's not going to make this easy, she's got an end game in her head, although this is not a game, but obviously she thinks it is."

When asked if she knew where Lori was KW said, "probably sitting on a beach somewhere while we're sitting here wondering where the kids are."

"I pray there's an extraditable warrant issued and they bring her in front of the judge," KW said about Lori. "It seems the next steps is in the judge's hands."

"I can't say for sure what's going to happen next, other than, I hope it's something that's going to get her attention because I'd love to know where those kids are and I think all of America wants to know where they are,"

A reporter asks KW if she can elaborate on what evidence Charles had of Lori having an affair with Chad.

“The most common question I receive is, ‘What parts of your books are based on what you’ve seen in vision, and what part did you make up?’” Chad Daybell wrote in his autobiography. “The short answer is that I don’t fictionalize any of the events portrayed. I’m really not that creative… My torn veil allows information to be downloaded into my brain from the other side. The scenes I am shown are real events that will happen.”

“That tells us something about his personality,” Bertram said. “He believes what he is hearing gives him direction in his life… We may see hidden messages in these writings.” (Fox13 SLC Special Report w/Adam Herbets)

2 Feb 2020 – Lori & Chad reportedly attend meetings at LDS Church in Lihue, HI. They are seen speaking w/the bishop, acting as if everything is OK and as if they don’t have a care in the world. They were also overheard saying that the media was lies and one-sided. JJ and Tylee were not in church with them (Nate Eaton, East Idaho News).

2 Feb 2020 – Lori’s son, CR, gives an interview to Fox10 Phoenix reporter Justin Lum.

10 Feb 2020 – The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare must deliver a report to the judge on the investigation into the health, safety and welfare of JJ & Tylee by Feb 10 (East Idaho News).

22 July 2020 – Lori told CV that she believes July 2020 is the date of the second coming of Christ; In Jan 2019 Lori allegedly threatened to murder CV if he stood in the way of her preparing for this date. “I think it’s July 22, 2020?,” KW said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen July 23, you know. Charles told me. He had recordings of her. He said nobody will believe me, and he recorded her one night.” (Fox10 Phoenix, Divorce records, Click2Houston).

KSL also uncovered court documents from Aug. 2007 of Tylee’s custody battle with disturbing information. A Texas court ordered a psychological evaluation for Vallow after she told social workers that “death would be an option before giving Tylee to her father, Mr. Joseph Ryan, even for a visit.”

“These are real and serious concerns,” the documents stated.

I guess that could have happened in September. Tammy worked, so Chad could have met up with Lori during the day for strolls around the campus, but that's pure speculation.

Sure, the month or two between Lori moving there and when they got married they could, but you said that it said they "discussed how they needed to get rid of their spouses." But by the time Lori got to Rexburg she'd already gotten rid of her spouse, so there was no longer a need.
 
I truly don’t think Lori believes in the same way Chad did, I think in Chad she found someone who was as arrogant, self important and full on crazy as she is that she could manipulate. Her actions don’t seem to go along with a prepper at all, I think she’s had a grand plan with all of this and Chad is just a piece in her game.
Welcome to WebSleuths! Yes, I think she had a grand plan as well - perhaps shearing (taking the money of) the sheep following Chad.

SBM!!!

LV is a danger to society. The more we learn, the more I lose hope. Apparently these types of thoughts and actions are not new - they've been going on for a long time. She is starting to remind me of Josh Powell.

The wedding photos are gross given the context. Tammy had not even been deceased a month yet. Charles not even 5 months deceased. Her children missing for about 6 weeks?? Yet this was the best time to skip to Hawaii and get married by themselves? How do they justify any of this?

Two heartless people. They deserve each other. I predict there will be a power struggle. I think Chad believes this is his game. Lori believes this is her game. They can't both be the leader.

MOO.

Cushing said it wasn’t until her brother’s death in late March 2018 that she noticed a drastic change in Lori Vallow.

Cushing said Ryan died of an apparent heart attack in late March 2018. His body was found in his apartment after a welfare check when the neighbor’s dog detected a strange smell.

“It’s really sad that someone could die and go at least a week without being discovered,” Cushing said.

Cushing said Vallow was notified of Ryan’s passing but didn’t tell his family. She only learned of her brother’s death five weeks later because no one had claimed his body. She said officials ran a background check and called her brother.

Cushing said Vallow acted very casual about Ryan’s death.

“That really took me back, I thought ‘you knew and didn’t tell me?” she said.

However, Cushing said Lori asked her to visit Arizona to support Tylee.

“I decided to put my personal feelings aside about not being told about Joe’s death and I flew out there, hoping to connect with Tylee,” Cushing said.

When she arrived in Arizona, Cushing said she was shocked to find that Vallow discouraged Tylee from mourning her father’s death.

“When I got there, it was as if, nothing had happened,” she said. “People were hardly talking about Joe and when Lori did, the tenor was — she would actually say, ‘the world is a better place without Joe Ryan.’”

Cushing said she also noticed Tylee and Vallow had a strained relationship.

“There was also a lot of tension between Tylee and Lori,” Cushing said, adding that Vallow didn’t allow the two to spend much time together alone.

I actually think Chad has his end times fantasies. All his life people have largely ignored his fantasies as just that. They probably humored him but that was about it. I'm talking about family, not his followers. He wrote about them in his books. Lori read the books and is giving him an opportunity to live out his fantasies. I don't think she is too bright nor is she a leader. Chad strikes me as reasonably intelligent and definitely a leader.
 
All I can say ... PLEASE let JJ and Tylee be okay. That KSL interview with Annie Cushing raises so many more red flags on Lori (as if she didnt have enough already!) - how she was able to keep primary custody of her children even with an entire avalanche of documented warning signs is mind boggling.
 
I pray that is not the case. Without getting too specific on details with respect for my friend, the person that took her was trusted by the family. He was well known and liked in the community and he was LDS. I don't think all of the men involved in this were LDS. Most of the members of the church are amazing people, but obviously there are bad people in every culture. At least two of the men were convicted on lesser charges of sexual abuse of minors and served too short of a sentence in my opinion. My friend also met another victim of this group later in life and there appears to be many others. This was a very messed up group from what I have gathered, who had means of repeatedly traveling across state lines with the kids.
Again, I really hope that is not the case but it is always in the forefront of my mind because it was in the same part of the state.

Well, typically this is the case and yes, most unfortunate. Like you, I have many LDS friends and family. I agree that there are many people in every culture that we consider bad. I know it can be hard to acknowledge this truth and it often helps to share with a trusted friend or family. Of course, we are all hoping for the best, Wiggmom. Thanks for sharing with us.
 
Apparently Lori didn't want the trainer to talk to JJ or Tylee when she returned the dog, despite JJ being there.
I suspect Tylee wasn't on board with whatever her mother was doing by this point in time.
Where are the other vehicles that were owned by Charles/Lori? There are a few missing.
That's what I want to know. One of the Jeeps was apparently impounded, but mention had been made several times that led me to think all along that there were two different Jeeps. Alex's truck was in Idaho at one point; did he take it back to Arizona and where is it now? Where is the Rogue, the Kia, the Infiniti... and what is that white vehicle shown in that garage? I thought at one point Alex was mentioned as also having a car - if so, what is it and where is it? And where the heck are all these vehicles? And did Chad leave his normal transportation behind?
However the fact that the kids were missing so soon afterwards makes me think Bailey had to go because the kids disappearance was already in motion by LV.
Bailey had to go, because she already intended to disappear the kids... and possibly the dog was protective of JJ and/or Tylee.
I wonder if LE and MSM could now release it or does the cease and desist prevent them?
I can’t see a cease and desist stopping LE, I don’t know about it stopping MSM but a lot of the news channels (the big ones) will have a lot more money to fight that in court anyway. I hope they have a copy of it, I’d like to see it released. It could really help understand what’s going on. JMO
The whole cease and desist nonsense is worth an eyeroll at best, anyway. WS can respect their request if they like, and I'll honor that here, but IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. A company doesn't get to declare that people - or the media - can't discuss or report on their behavior and associations, any more than random people who make faces at reporters get to demand the reporter not report on them or the people they're connected with. See how MSM is ignoring the C&D? It's cuz they're well aware it doesn't have any teeth in the first place.
The PI is the only one to mention a green Jeep Cherokee in his interview.
There was a Cherokee, or at least a second Jeep, mentioned way back somewhere. I had notes about it from the early threads. Or maybe it was pictures/video that showed one type of Jeep and discussion was about another type, leading me to write down two different Jeeps way way back. I don't remember, and I won't have time to hunt for whatever to back up my memory until at least Tuesday.
Washington State
OK, this has been bothering me since the very first time I saw Chad and Lori's pictures. WHY DO THEY LOOK FAMILIAR? Both of them. And the kids do not. It may be just that they have a fairly common look about them, I don't know. But I've wondered since the very beginning of the case if they had any connections to Oregon or Washington. I also made a road trip in October that took me through Idaho and Utah. (And I am not good with faces, other than "I've seen this person before", it's pretty normal for me to recognize a face and have no idea whatever what the person's name is, or where I've seen them before. Even acquaintances I've seen somewhat regularly... all it takes is the person being out of the normal context.)
I sure want to know when that photo shoot was scheduled.
November 5th was a Tuesday, so I'd bet it was a lot easier to get a last-minute photo shoot for an hour than it would be for other days... and I'd bet Hawaii has a plethora of photographers to choose from.
A Texas court ordered a psychological evaluation for Vallow after she told social workers that “death would be an option before giving Tylee to her father, Mr. Joseph Ryan, even for a visit.”
How in the heck did she ever get custody of Tylee in the first place?
---------------------------------
I wonder if Annie the aunt would be willing to join us here? Would it be kosher to invite her?

I cannot freaking believe those photos. Except of course I can. It's just that ridiculous.

RE: the instagram with Lolo/Summy. I swear I found it before, and am not seeing it now. Maybe I have the ID wrong, I don't seem to have written it down. Would the person who mentioned it please check on it and make sure it's still visible?
