JOSHUA "JJ" VALLOW, TYLEE RYAN, TAMMY DAYBELL, & CHARLES VALLOW: State of Idaho/Arizona vs. Lori & Chad Daybell *GUILTY*

Police seem to be no closer to finding 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan than they were when this story began months ago.

Since that time, the story has gained international attention as it’s taken twists and turns involving a purported cult, dead spouses, delusions of divinity and preparing for the end of the world. Despite all the angles, and the ever-growing number of people related to the case, the facts remain essentially the same as when it was first announced.

The two children remain missing and the parents, Lori (Vallow) Daybell, and her new husband, Chad Daybell, refuse to disclose their whereabouts to police. Both have been named persons of interest in the disappearance of the children. Law enforcement is also investigating the deaths of the Daybells’ previous respective spouses, Charles Vallow and Tammy Daybell, though neither Chad nor Lori have been named suspects in those cases.

Yes, Nate said it’s a misdemeanor. He said she was reading about her exes testimony in order to help with her child custody problems.

I call bullsh*t.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I think it’s going to depend on whether the jury believes her or not. When I listened to that portion last night, it sounded a bit dramatic to me, but then again, Nate said she was crying through the whole testimony already.

I haven't actually heard her. I don't think overall it probably matters much but maybe it does because it resonates and in a way ties Lori to Ty\lee's death as that's exactly what she was, CUT UP, as she threatened to do to Audrey. The remark about it making a mess is something she also would have already known due to Tylee so I guess it could have a huge impact.

I think though it is all already there without her dramatic statement.

While it isn't difficult to believe Lori said that, not one BIT difficult, it is all a bit odd and she should have felt somewhat safe since they were already in jail on high bond...

 

[GrandmaBear]

Nate said again last night that alex and chads phones were off for a period of time the night that Tammy died. He said that Alex had bought a burner phone just before that. I can’t remember if @Tresir said they could track the burner phones or not?

Am I just tired because the only reason I can come up with for Chad's phone to be off is IF HE left the house when he tried to claim he was asleep with Tammy, etc...

Any other reason I'm just not with it enough to think of?

What was the time frame for his off?

 

[GrandmaBear]

A detective friend of mine said they keep the technology vague for a reason. The accuracy of triangulation gets more and more precise.

GOOD!

 

[GrandmaBear]

Or even just plain make believe to get people to do what they want and to create a world that worships Chad and Lori, unencumbered by responsibilities and monetary restraints.

They aren’t crazy, they are despicably evil.

I 100 percent agree. I think of it as far more of a CON than that they believed their own sh*t.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I am trying to think of a reason why these recorded calls are not being played? Anyone understand why? Could it be because the participants of the calls did not know they were being recorded? Ian said in his testimony that he agreed to record the calls for LE because they were looking for two missing children.

Could it be grounds for an appeal ?

Prosecution doesn't appeal, only defendants/defense.

I don't like he didn't allow these and not sure why that would be.

MOST states now (not all) it is only required one person knows something is being recorded, meaning only Ian would need to know and he would need to be part of the conversation. Not sure what ID's law is on it. If they are not a one party state then that is likely the reason.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I think Ian was hamstrung and could not say very much. He was a police informer basically, I think. The police maybe provided his lawyer, but I don't know. In the UK, informers have a protected status.

Yes, you are right about the "that's great" comment. Here's an article where Nate is interviewed. He says that day changed his life.

East Idaho News reporter shares how covering Lori Vallow Daybell case changed his life

One reporter who's been with the Lori Vallow Daybell case since the very beginning is Nate Eaton with East Idaho News. KSL TV's Mike Headrick got a chance to sit down with him about the day his entire life changed.

ksltv.com

I don't think police here ever provide anyone a lawyer and they certainly wouldn't have provided one for Ian imo.

I don't know what is going on but it seems to me much more should have been asked of Ian than it sounds as if was. However, since Boyce would not allow the recordings, that probably ties into whatever the reason is somehow...?

[GrandmaBear]

I'm watching too. She went home...

 

[GrandmaBear]

Prosecutors told her yesterday she could go home. She remains under subpoena and they could call her again. But for now seems they have decided not to have her testify...

 

[RoundPeg]

 

[Kimster]

I’m watching too!

 

[Kimster]

So Lori has power over Satan. Who knew?

 

[GrandmaBear]

Lori folded Satan up like a TACO in a box and sent him to Antarctica. WhatEVER...!

 

[Kimster]

What are these blessings that they keep talking about? I mean to bless somebody means to make them happy. I am not quite sure if these blessings are “spells” in their minds?

 

[GrandmaBear]

So Lori has power over Satan. Who knew?

She is so full of sh*t. Even God wouldn't "say" such but Lori controls Satan? Unbelievable.

 

[Kimster]

Lori folded Satan up like a TACO in a box and sent him to Antarctica. WhatEVER...!

Is that before or after she used the portal in her closet?

 

[GrandmaBear]

What are these blessings that they keep talking about? I mean to bless somebody means to make them happy. I am not quite sure if these blessings are “spells” in their minds?

I don't know but the little I've heard tonight is they blessed Mel P a lot too. So in her case I'm guessing they made her "charmed", all would be good, she was good, etc. right?

 

[GrandmaBear]

Is that before or after she used the portal in her closet?

No idea. It was something Ian heard so whatever that timing would be....

 

[GrandmaBear]

Yeah heard earlier that Chad went to the school two days after Tammy's death to get the life insurance, the first business day. He is told he needs a death certificate and he said oh, I've already ordered 8 copies...
