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.

I like the criminal attorney's show, too. What's the name of it again? I forgot. I like it because he can tell you the legal angle of a case.

Scott Reisch is his name his YouTube thing is Crime Talk.

I like his legal look at things and he pretty much keeps on all news of the recent cases yet if there is a headline of an old crime he will cover that as well and I like his dumb criminal of the day/week.

Search for missing Idaho children reveals "no sign of life, no sign of death"

Lori Vallow Daybell's two children are missing and she refuses to tell authorities where they are. Now for the first time, her mother and sister speak out about what they think may have happened.

www.cbsnews.com

SEARCH FOR MISSING IDAHO CHILDREN REVEALS "NO SIGN OF LIFE, NO SIGN OF DEATH"

She's become a national obsession -- Lori Vallow Daybell, the Rexburg, Idaho, mother who never reported her 7–year-old son JJ and 17- year-old daughter Tylee missing. No one has seen the children in months. And despite her arrest on child abandonment charges, she's still not talking.

But according to her family, there is a reason for that.

Now, as a nationwide hunt for the missing children continues, Lori Vallow Daybell's mother, Janis Cox, and her sister, Summer Shiflet, reveal theories to "48 Hours" on what may have happened -- even whether the children could be hidden in a bunker somewhere out of sight – and why she's staying silent.

"She would never harm her children," Cox tells CBS News correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti. "And I know her."

"I don't know all of her reasons for doing what she's doing," says Shiflet. "But I know she has … has the reasons."

But first, back to the Lori Vallow Daybell the rest of the world knows: a woman who has a lot of explaining to do, says investigative reporter and "48 Hours" consultant Morgan Loew. "Lori Daybell has two missing children. Lori Daybell is connected to suspicious deaths. Lori Daybell appears to be somebody that has a black cloud over her ... unless she's the one that is causing these bad things to happen."

That's what the FBI and authorities in at least three states are trying to figure out as they sort through a convoluted tale that many believe will lead to murder charges

Wow! ty for posting, well worth the long read

 

[Kimster]

I read the article and what stuck out for me this time was that the family keeps saying "oh she would never do that" or "she is very loving". Well, would she ever hide her children from the world? Would she ever place them somewhere without any of their belongings at all? These family members need to wake up and smell the coffee! I'm starting to understand why Lori is so detached from the world when she has family that reacts in this way.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Good article, thanks for sharing it. I have been reading some comments under a podcast on this case and the podcast itself was Linda's/It's a Crime who believes now that Melanie knows more and is getting upset with Melanie. Lori's entire family as many are saying are very casual about the fact these kids are missing and it is irritating people. I agree.

Another interesting insight by a poster was talking about how there is truth in some things and she mentioned how Melanie in her interview kept using the term boiling pot (Linda also mentioned it was an odd term) but the poster mentioned Yellowstone, as this article does you posted, and in the article they were referred to as boiling pools.

Melanie said it in description of her and Ian thrown into the boiling pot (this situation I guess she means) but the poster pointed out how our subconscious works sometimes. When one thinks about she had to know she would be asked about the kids and where they were, it does give one pause for thought.

I don't know if everyone has seen the last part of this with Linda but I am posting it in case you haven't.

'Cult mom' Lori Vallow's ex-husband sued her years ago for allegedly hiding their daughter: report

q13fox.com

‘Cult mom’ Lori Vallow’s ex-husband sued her years ago for allegedly hiding their daughter: report

“Cult mom” Lori Vallow Daybell was reportedly sued by her ex-husband for allegedly hiding their daughter and breaking a child custody agreement in 2006 – years before two of her children disappeared, prompting national attention over the now nine-month-long missing persons’ case.

Her third husband, Joseph Ryan, who was Tylee’s father, filed a motion against her in 2006, alleging she denied him all visitation rights and hid their daughter from him during the month of August that year, the Daily Mail reported Friday, citing court documents. He also claimed Vallow Daybell’s brother, Alex Cox, assaulted him with a stun gun in a parking lot over the dispute.

Ryan and Vallow Daybell had divorced in 2004, and the two parents relocated from Texas amid a contentious child custody battle over Tylee, that lasted up until his death in 2018. His body was found inside his Arizona apartment, and his death ruled due to an apparent heart attack. He was cremated.

After the Casey Anthony trial Florida as well as many other states made it a crime to not report a missing child within a certain amount of time. I wonder if that law exists in Idaho.

Hard day for the Woodcocks I am sure. I wonder how Lori honored her son's birthday while in jail. I know she couldn't likely light a candle. I wonder if she even knew what day it was...

Melanie Gibb likely knows more about Chad and Lori Daybell’s relationship than anyone else. She was Lori’s best friend, attended conferences where Chad spoke and was with them the moment they met. She saw the pair’s friendship quickly turn into something more and says Lori confided intimate...

Watched part 1 so far. I have to say she is believable, far more than the niece Melanie. I also have to admit I have mixed the two up and thought they were one at the same at times. I hate it when a case has two people of the same name and this case has so many players as it is lol.

Melanie Gibb - she's the one we heard about before that Lori was trying to tell LE had the kids when they asked her in the beginning. I'm really glad she didn't "play along".

I now listened to part 2. Extremely interesting, she knows a LOT and much of it has been documented elsewhere. She is going to make a good witness and I am sure she will be part of this.
