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.

[Guess Who]

Based on a timeline laid out in a newly unsealed affidavit for the arrest of Chad Daybell, his first wife was still alive when remains of Lori Vallow Daybell's children are thought to have been buried on the Daybell property.

What is more, text messages were exchanged between Tammy and Chad Daybell on the same day investigators believe Alex Cox, the children's uncle, was tracked where the remains were later discovered on June 9, according to arresting documents. Tammy Daybell was believed to be living at the property when the children were buried. The last known sighting of Tylee Ryan was Sept. 8, 2019; JJ Vallow was last seen on Sept. 23, 2019.

Tammy Daybell died in her sleep at her Salem home on October 19, 2019. Investigators have called the death suspicious, and her body was exhumed from the Springville Evergreen Cemetery in Utah in December. Just two weeks after her death, Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow were married.

I was wondering where Tammy was when Chad texted her about the raccoon story. Linda, at It's a Crime, said that it was a Monday and Tammy was probably at work. I believe she was a librarian at a school.

so how are they.so.sure that alex was.the one with actual possession of the phone? I can see those two being diabolical enough to frame him.

good question ... neither Chad nor Lori seemed capable of actually taking someone's life so there is that 'assumption' that Alex was their resident 'hit man'

I'm surprised that if Alex was on Chad's property for over 2 hours that Tammy didn't notice?

Melanie G and her BF saw Alex carrying a sleeping JJ away, per the affidavit.

But yeah, I really think they'll use Alex as the scapegoat.

Tammy is assumed to have been at work. Here's a snip from Tammy's obit:

In 2015, the family moved to Salem, Idaho and she became the assistant librarian at Madison Middle School. She later became the librarian at Central Elementary School in Sugar City, Idaho. She was treasured and loved by the staff and students alike.

per the affidavit of probable cause Alex's phone pinged at Chad's home approximately 0921 so Tammy probably had left for work

Thank you, I just set it to record.

 

[Kimster]

I stayed up late and watched the Dateline episode. I don't recall learning anything new? But then, I watch this case really closely so that didn't surprise me. We were introduced to Melanie Gibb's BF. He seems genuine. They also showed a picture of Alex Cox's wife, Zulemma, who is a mystery to me. They say she is some kind of a faith healer? I think that's what they said. Linda is going to do an in-depth vlog of her at some point.

Alex is likely the one that killed JJ. He most likely OD'd him with some meds.

I personally think Lori told, then they used Alex's cell data to back up what she said. I think she told because she wanted Chad to also serve time since he had been free all this time, he didn't bail her out. I don't think we'll hear that it was Lori that told but her sentence may show it.

I was also sure Tylee was at Yellowstone and would never be recovered. How wrong I was!

I don't see Lori telling LE anything. She may have said something to another cellmate. The reason I don't see her doing that is because If she is so into this religion that they created that she thinks she's some elevated human being, I think that she would been waiting for Chad to get her out and off all charges.

 

[Kimster]

Oh boy! This was a really good one. There is speculation that Alex's apartment in Rexburg might not have had much in it. It appears that it was just there for a reason, if you know what I mean. Linda explains her theory really well in this video.

Also, I knew this before but I never really put it together. When Alex married Zulema, he took her maiden name, which is quite unusual. Linda said there is rumor going around that Alex may have been gay. So was this marriage just so he could go incognito? Did he really think he could? Well, probably. These people don't seem to be very bright.

 

[Kimster]

I want to know a whole lot more about Zulema. When her son called 911 as Alex was dying, why didn't he know Alex's last name? And why didn't he know that Alex was married to his mother?

The sister of Lori Vallow is speaking out after the discovery of the remains of J.J. and Tylee Vallow -- and acknowledging that she "was wrong" to support her sister.

Summer Cox Shiflet has been one of her sister's staunchest defenders, but has changed course after the bodies of 7-year-old Joshua "J.J." Vallow and his sister, 17-year-old Tylee Ryan were found on their stepfather's property.

"Words are hard and inadequate," Shiflet wrote on her Facebook page. "Trying to type through this pain is difficult. The last few months have been hard. The last week has been excruciating. Losing our precious Tylee and JJ in this horrific way is more than we can bear."

I feel bad for her. I've had my share of people in my life that I loved that proved to be master manipulators that didn't give a darn about anyone but their own selves.

Now that the kids have been found, I don't know how they can hold Lori on her charges? Wouldn't they need to file new charges since they aren't missing anymore?

I am way behind on this one but saw this recent one and still have to read others. I wonder that too. I wonder if they just maybe would need to amend or add if anything at all? She DID not produce them as ordered but seems pretty clear she likely knew their whereabouts...? I wonder how that would work too? Her first charges still fit in a wa that she never complied with what was ordered...? Been off here so long has any lawyer like Scott Reisch weighed in with legal knowledge on this?

Well, it's child abandonment and obstruction. I suppose she can still be held on the obstruction, but at $1 million bail?
