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

1580704661510.png

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.

More I knew of but wasn't as fresh in my mind, worth a listen and relevant I think to put in the record here. This was to be a kid free 144,000 and Lori did not want JJ any more and told a friend this.

A short one. The friend from Hawaii.

 
Also before I forget I want to mention Chad's property is four acres. We all knew it was smaller but couldn't recall and I think had thoughts of 20 or 10 or less. It is only four. Which imo is not much. Meaning things were closer together than one would think and not so far of a walk, etc. and on top of it as we have seen the property is pretty open (not much for trees, etc.

Many years ago, I had little concept of acreage and a listing caught my eye with five acres. We went to look at it and I was shocked at how little five acres was let's just put it that way. It too was mainly open. Until that point I would have thought five acres was huge.

Don't get me wrong, it is a nice sized lot versus a city lot or a home on one or two acres but it isn't vast or like walking how far to get to the shed, etc.

So just putting it in here for reference as I was one, and I think others too, trying to recall how big the property was.
 
Also, Charles threatening Lori's temple membership or whatever it is and a mental eval, etc. and finding out about the affair and telling Tammy was a catalyst maybe. Clearly though they were already they were already planning it by then so maybe not. Lori wanted to "get back" with Charles to manipulate money and be sure she was on his policy (didn't work) so it was the plan already. Both spouses had to go and then the kids for their freedom, money and plan.
Chad couldn’t afford to have Tammy discredit his “lordship”.

Thanks for the clarification. Because of the overhead photos, I only thought it was about an acre or two. I grew up on 1 acre so I have a pretty good concept of an acre.
 
“On Oct. 19, 2019, Chad Daybell reported the death of his wife Tammy, saying she had gone to bed with a cough and didn't wake up. The manner of death was initially ruled as "natural causes," and no autopsy was done.”

I had to revisit this because Chad slept with her that night. They went to sleep, and when he woke up, she was gone. That was his story. How in the world are his kids thinking that she was asphyxiated and he didn’t know it? I just don’t get it. I can’t get past it.

Simple...if he's the one that asphyxiated her.

I grew up on an acre too. Which was a nice big yard, don't get me wrong but as you know it isn't like you can't holler across it. I lived on two acres for some years as an adult and then 12 acres. So yeah, I've got a pretty good sense of the size I'd say. And Chad's is mostly pretty wide open so not what I'd call overly private with neighbors around him.

On some level imo they have to know. Maybe they tell themselves he killed her because Lori made him, turned him bad, beguiled him or whatever. And maybe they don't do that either. I do think people in denial when all the facts show them otherwise, when of at least a certain age and not young children, know it on some level or deep in their hearts or their soul?
 
They are both astoundingly full of s***. The way he looks at her in that picture. Creepy. But she's worse IMO. Chad dumbbell. But both evil, Self absorbed, Self serving, Do anything and justify it, Ridiculous cult believing, Out of touch with reality morons.

I know because she is sooo whatever and he so more silent it seems like she's worse but I think it is at least equal and I think more likely he is worse. I think he was hands on with JJ and Tammy and he was the manipulative master. Believe me the more silent types of men often aren't just some nice quiet, shy guy they are snakes in the grass and he's one of such.

This case is ridiculous in that they aren't releasing who witnesses are coming up day to day etc. Just more of the secret, sealed stuff.
 
Back to trial today! Frankly, I'm still waiting on something I can sink my teeth into with regards to Lori. They’ve done a fine job of nailing Chad and Alex to the wall. Other than the financials, it's just blah blah blah. Probably because we've heard it all before.
Yeah, Chad and Alex keep coming front and center, and Chad maybe even more so...

The stuff with her is there, and enough I feel, but they can't cover all with impact in summarizing each day imo but it is clear she knew, and she was part of it. It isn't stunning or shockingly blatant and I think because much of it we knew before, it doesn't astound us as that Perry Mason type of dramatic moment.

I just ran into this and it is only 5 minutes. This attorney puts it together well, the mounting of things against Lori, etc. It fits what you are talking of here, no smoking gun or huge thing you can sink your teeth into but a LOT and more to come I'm sure. She thinks it is all there and damning to Lori. I do as well but couldn't have likely worded it as well or strung it together in the same way. Worth a watch for anyone. And I'm not an overall News Nation fan lol. Kind of middle of the road in my opinion of them but their guest makes good points here. She also thinks the judge made the right decision on allowing things re Charles' death because it is more probative than prejudicial.
