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.

Watching 20/20 now. I didn't know Charles Vallow was Lori's fourth husband! I love the body cam footage of Charles talking to the police about his wife going (My words Bat :poop: :urnuts:). She's released TWO days later! After telling him she could kill him right now because she's a supernatural being?!

Hard case to keep up with and/or so many husbands and players, deaths, etc. Then even if one gets it straight, if not around the case for a bit, has to refresh themselves on details, dates, which husband, what order, because there is SOOOO MUCH. I know I forget and have to refresh myself on details. Did so and so die before so and so, etc.?

I haven't yet seen the 20/20 but someone I know that does not follow crime in the way I do saw it and knew I knew of the case and said wow, that woman and guy, crazy sh*t... WTH and the 20/20 got their attention on the case.

So many LE and divorce courts etc. were just played as I think were different towns, jurisdictions, states (planned),etc. as if local yokels if ya ask me.. Charles probably just came across as a man scared of his wife... A man who can't put a nutty woman in her place or is in fear of a mere weak female? Oh the good ol' boys would probably go back to the office and laugh at the thought. That's giving the various LE agencies that fell for Lori's, Mel's, or even Alex's bs the nice benefit of the doubt... The newer cop with Lori, Mel and Tylee in his office is a great example... That was the Charles' fear of Lori deal...

I honestly think her looks gave her a pass on a lot of things. If she would’ve looked creepy, they probably would’ve taken a deeper dive into allegations.
 

Lori Vallow's first three marriages: 1992-2006​

At 18 years old, Lori Vallow left home and married her high school sweetheart Nelson in 1992. Their marriage didn't last, and she married William in 1995. She had her first child, Colby, in 1996. She and William separated and she married Joseph Ryan in 2001.

"One reason Lori had wanted to get married was to have another baby," her mother said. "So, she got pregnant with Tylee right away, and she was really excited about having Tylee."

During their marriage, Vallow went on "Wheel of Fortune," where she spoke about their family life.

"I have a wonderful husband, Joseph, at home, who is watching our two beautiful children," she said on the show in 2004. "We like to play all kinds of sports on our three acres."

However, behind the facade, their marriage was falling apart.

Vallow filed for divorce, claiming her husband was abusive toward her children. The abuse claims were never substantiated against Joseph Ryan.

Through the couple's long and contentious custody battle, Vallow's family played a vital role in supporting her.

"[Alex Cox said] that he kind of took it upon himself to protect Tylee and Colby, and that he had attempted to take Joe's life," April Raymond, Vallow's friend, said.

Lori Vallow's brother, Alex Cox, assaulted Joseph Ryan during a visitation with daughter Tylee in Aug. 2007 with a taser, according to police.

Alex pleaded guilty to an aggravated assault charge in the second degree and served three months in jail.

The single mother of two was on her own again, until she met Charles Vallow.

"I don't know why Lori's been married so many times," Janis Cox said. "She's always worn her heart on her sleeve. She thinks that she is trying to help people when she marries them."

Janis Cox added she thought Charles Vallow was "the best of Lori's husbands."

"We all liked him. He's from the south, very well-mannered, and they seemed like a really good couple," she said.

Charles Vallow converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when he married Lori, a lifelong practicing member.

Lori and Charles Vallow were married in 2006 in Las Vegas. The family settled first in Texas, then moved to Arizona.

They blended their families, and adopted Charles Vallow's nephew J.J., who was diagnosed with autism.

"Tylee was the dearest, dearest little girl. She has a tough exterior, but she's got a marshmallow heart," Janis Cox said. "Lori was who Tylee really loved, and really, I think she looked up to her mom."

She also said her daughter embraced J.J. and took him in as her own.

J.J.'s grandfather, Larry Woodcock, said, "We loved Lori. ... She was a wonderful mom."

More and more and more at link:

 
I never knew that Lori was on Wheel of Fortune! :eek:

  • She competed on “Wheel of Fortune” in 2004 where she won $17,000, according to the Rexburg Standard Journal. She competed in the Texas pageant during the same year.
  • Her friend Annie Cushing told Inside Edition that Vallow enjoyed the spotlight, including her time on “Wheel of Fortune.”
  • Cushing said: “Lori definitely likes being the center of attention. She told my brother that God told her she was going to be on ‘Wheel of Fortune’ before she auditioned.”

I couldn't find the clip on YouTube, but I bet it will show up on there eventually!

Here's one of her Miss Texas competition:

 



This is an interview from last October with a friend of Alex Cox'. It's over an hour long and I wasn't planning on watching all of it, but it was interesting enough to me that I did anyway! On this video you will hear about the quirks of the Cox family, how Lori seemed shallow to this person, how much Alex loved Colby and Tylee, and more! There's even a little discussion about the mysterious Zulema!

Putting on my list to watch, sounds interesting!
 
Ohhhhh harbinger of things to come?

Wow!!!
 
Ohhhhh harbinger of things to come?

Oooooooo. The squeeze!
 
I just remembered something else interesting that Alex' friend said in her interview. She said she couldn't believe Alex could kill Tylee because he adored her. She also said that Lori often called Alex for help in her life's situations.

Since the two remains were disposed of differently, I wonder if Lori didn't kill Tylee herself.
