Tylee Ashlyn Ryan (September 24, 2002 – September 9, 2019)[a] and Joshua
Jaxon "J. J." Vallow (May 25, 2012 – September 23, 2019)[b] were two
American children from Rexburg, Idaho, who went missing in September 2019
and were found deceased in June 2020. Tylee Ryan was last seen alive at
Yellowstone National Park on September 8, 2019. J.J. was last seen alive on
September 23, 2019, at Rexburg's Kennedy Elementary School. J.J. was
initially reported missing by relatives concerned not only about the
children from whom they had not heard in weeks, but also several other
suspicious incidents. In November 2019, police questioned their mother, Lori
Vallow Daybell, about the children's whereabouts and welfare.
Vallow Daybell and her new husband, Chad Guy Daybell, claimed that J.J. was
staying with family friend Melanie Gibb in Arizona, where they had lived
before moving to Idaho in early September 2019. When police reached Gibb by
phone, she told police that Joshua was not with her and had not been there
for several months. More than a week later, Gibb called police saying that
both Lori and her husband, Chad Daybell, had asked her to lie to police
about J.J.'s whereabouts but she refused. Police efforts to locate J.J. led
to the discovery that his older sister, Tylee Ryan, was also missing.
Complicating circumstances around the children's disappearances was a string
of suspicious deaths. Vallow Daybell's estranged husband, Charles Vallow,
was shot and killed in July 2019 by her brother, Alex Cox, who claimed self
defense. Cox died of a blood clot on 12 December 2019.[c] In early October
2019, Brandon Boudreaux, the then-estranged husband of Vallow Daybell's
niece, Melani, was shot at in the driveway of his Gilbert, Arizona home from
a vehicle still registered to the deceased Charles Vallow. In October 2019,
Chad Daybell's wife, Tammy Daybell, was attacked in her driveway by what she
believed was someone shooting a defective paintball gun. A few weeks later,
on October 19, she died in her sleep from what was initially recorded as
"natural causes." No post-mortem or autopsy was initially performed. After
Chad and Lori's marriage two weeks after Tammy's death, law enforcement
became suspicious and exhumed Tammy's corpse for autopsy.[3][4][5]
On February 20, 2020, Lori Vallow Daybell was arrested in Kauai and charged
with desertion and nonsupport of her dependent children. She was extradited
to Idaho and traveled there on March 5, 2020. On June 9, 2020, police
executed a search warrant at Chad Daybell's home and discovered the human
remains of J.J. and Tylee.[6][7][8][9][10][11] Chad Daybell was arrested
later that day on charges of destruction or concealment of evidence.[12][13]
On May 25, 2021, Vallow and Daybell were charged with the first degree
murder's of Tylee, J.J., and Tammy.

Chad Guy Daybell (born August 11, 1968, Provo, Utah)[14] married Tamara
"Tammy" Douglas (May 4, 1970 – October 19, 2019) in Manti, Utah on March 9,
1990. He graduated from Brigham Young University in 1992 with a B.A. in
journalism,[14] and worked, among other jobs, as a cemetery sexton, also
referred to as a gravedigger. In 2004, he founded Spring Creek Book Company,
devoted to his end times fiction and other religious books, with a man
identified in media only by the name Douglas, a graphic artist and
manager.[15] Chad and Tammy had five children: Garth, Emma, Seth, Leah, and
Mark.[14]
In 2015, Daybell claimed he heard a voice telling him to relocate to
Rexburg, Idaho. He and Tammy moved there from Springville, Utah that
June.[16]
On October 9, 2019, Tammy Daybell reported on Facebook and to police that
she was shot at, in her driveway, by a masked man with what she believed was
a defective paintball marker. The Fremont County sheriff's office did not
find the perpetrator. Ten days later she was found dead in her home,
purportedly from natural causes. Chad Daybell claimed that she had retired
the night before "with a terrible cough" and died in her sleep.
No post-mortem or autopsy was performed at the time, as Chad Daybell
declined and the county coroner did not overrule his decision. Two months
later, Tammy Daybell's body was exhumed and autopsied. The results were
completed by February 2021 but have not been made public.[16]In February of
2021, the autopsy of Tammy Daybell was released from the Utah Medical
Examiner to Freemont County Sheriff's Office. Shortly after, the Freemont
County Prosecutor's office announced they would be handling the case going
forward. In a subsequent interview, one of Tammy and Chad's children, Emma
said in an interview that her family has not been contacted regarding the
results of the autopsy.[17]

Joshua Jaxon "J.J." Vallow
Lori Ryan Daybell,[d] also referred to as Lori Vallow Daybell, was born Lori
Norene Cox on June 26, 1973 in San Bernardino, California.[18] At the age of
19, she married high school boyfriend Nelson Yanes in 1992 and the marriage
ended in divorce shortly afterwards.[25] At age 22, she married 23-year-old
William Lagioia in Travis County, Texas, on October 22, 1995.[26] She and
Lagioia had a son, Colby, in 1996, before divorcing on February 25,
1998.[16]
In 2001, Lori married Joseph Anthony Ryan Jr.[16] Ryan legally adopted
Colby. The couple's biological daughter, Tylee, was born in 2002. Ryan filed
for divorce on August 13, 2004, which was finalized on May 18, 2005.[16] In
2007, in Travis County, Texas, Ryan was attacked by Lori's brother,
Alexander Lamar "Alex" Cox, based on allegations Ryan had been abusive to
his wife Lori and the children. [c] Cox tasered Ryan and threatened to
murder him. Cox pled guilty and was sentenced to 90 days in jail, which he
served in Austin, Texas.
Cox, who changed his surname to Pastenes, the surname of his wife, died on
December 12, 2019.[27] His death was attributed to blood clots and high
blood pressure.[28]
On February 24, 2006 Lori Ryan married Leland Anthony Vallow (born August
17, 1956, Calcasieu, Louisiana – died July 11, 2019, Chandler, Arizona),
known as Charles Vallow, in Las Vegas.[16] Vallow, a lifelong Catholic,
converted and became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, his new wife's faith. Vallow had two sons from a previous marriage,
Nicholas and Zachary Chase.[29] In 2013, the couple adopted Vallow's
grandnephew, Joshua Jaxon "J.J." Vallow (2012–2019),[30] before moving to
Kauai in late 2014.[16]
Around 2015, Lori Vallow read Chad Daybell's Standing in Holy Places series
of books, becoming "obsessed" with them, according to a friend. In 2016, the
Vallow family moved back to Arizona. In the fall of 2018, Lori Vallow and
her friend, Melanie Gibb attend a "Preparing a People" event. At this event,
Lori Vallow was introduced to Chad Daybell for the first time.[e] According
to Gibb, by the end of the weekend, Daybell told Vallow the two had been
married in seven previous lifetimes. The two began a private communication.
Several weeks after their initial meeting, Charles Vallow left town for a
business trip and Lori Vallow held an intimate overnight gathering at her
home. In attendance were both Melanie Gibb and Chad Daybell, who was
speaking at another conference in Mesa, Arizona. According to the Dateline
NBC podcast, Mommy Doomsday Gibb recalled Daybell lavishing attention on
Vallow and expounding upon his unusual religious beliefs and "the deeper
mysteries of God," with a small group of the overnight guests. According to
Gibb, Daybell stated he had lived 31 different lives on various earth-like
planets. He referred to others as “light” or "dark" and various gradations
in between. Daybell believed the "Dark" individuals were from this earth but
were followers of Satan. Those who were "light" were "followers of Jesus
Christ." Chad Daybell referred to Lori Vallow and an "eternal being" of 21
separate lives, only five of which had occurred on this planet; the same
five he had lived on this planet. Lori Vallow was both thrilled and
attracted to this belief system and began a much deeper and almost singular
focus on this newfound "purpose" and on Chad Daybell.
December 5, 2018, Lori Vallow and Daybell appeared together on the Preparing
a People podcast episode "Time to Warrior Up". Daybell later stayed at the
Vallows' home in Arizona.[16]
According to Charles Vallow, in February 2019, Lori informed her husband
"she no longer cared about him or J.J.", and claimed she was the
reincarnated wife of Joseph Smith, then vanished for 58 days.[30] The same
month, Charles Vallow filed for divorce, stating that his wife had
"threaten[ed] to murder him", taken $35,000 from their joint bank accounts,
and stole his truck. He filed for an order of protection against Vallow at
the advice of his attorney, citing a "genuine fear for his life".[32]
After his death, Vallow's attorneys stated he was primarily concerned for
J.J.'s safety and well-being, as he needed a consistent routine due to his
special needs.[32] Vallow was also concerned for Tylee, but he was unable to
include her in the filings as she was not his biological daughter, and he
had no legal standing. Vallow withdrew the petition one month later, saying
he "wanted to try to make the marriage work".[16]
On July 11, 2019, Lori Vallow’s estranged husband, Charles Vallow, was shot
and killed in Chandler, Arizona, by Lori's brother, Alex Cox,[33][34] who
claimed self-defense, alleging that he went to confront Vallow about abusing
his sister, whereupon "Charles Vallow struck him in the head with the bat,
so he went to get his gun."[35] Both J.J. and Tylee were present during the
shooting; Lori did not inform Vallow's extended family or children from his
previous marriage of the murder.[36]
A wedding ring was purchased on Amazon from the deceased Charles Vallow's
account for $35.99 on October 2, 2019, 17 days before the death of Daybell's
wife, Tammy Daybell.[37]
Another factor contributing to the mystery is the well-documented obsession
of Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell with certain "end of times" beliefs, about
which Chad Daybell has written a number of books, and together they have
discussed in podcasts. Reportedly Vallow's niece, Melani Boudreaux, shares
these beliefs.[citation needed]
As of September 23, 2019, a doorbell video of J.J. Vallow playing with a
friend is the last video of him taken. Rexburg's Kennedy Elementary School
is the last confirmed place he was seen.[30] On September 24, 2019, Lori
Vallow contacted J.J.'s school to tell them that she was withdrawing him,
claiming she would be homeschooling him. Tylee Ryan was last seen September
8, 2019 at Yellowstone National Park with her brother J.J., her mother Lori
Vallow, and her uncle Alex Cox,[c] Lori's brother. Chad Daybell had become
incommunicado, last speaking with filmmaker Devin K. Hansen via text
messaging.[16]
In October, two Venmo payments were made from Tylee's account to her older
half-brother, Colby Ryan. One payment was sent on October 10, 2019 with a
message that read "we love you," and the second payment was sent on October
16, 2019, with a heart emoji.[16] Colby has said he had not heard from Tylee
since the October texts. After text-messaging Tylee indicating he was
worried, he received responses from Tylee's cell phone that indicated she
was safe, but too busy to talk.[16]After repeated calls to Tylee went
unanswered, Colby Ryan became more worried.[38]
Vallow and Daybell were married in Hawaii on November 5, 2019, two weeks
after the death of Tamara Daybell.[39] They informed others that Tylee had
died in 2017 and/or that Lori had no minor children. At the request of
J.J.'s grandmother, Kay Woodcock, the police visited Lori Daybell's Rexburg,
Idaho townhouse on November 26 to conduct a welfare check on J.J., but
Vallow told police that J.J. was in Arizona with family.[16] That night, a
neighbor saw Lori Vallow Daybell and her brother packing a truck outside her
home. When the police and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrived the
next day to search the home, it was abandoned. Chad Daybell's home was also
searched by investigators.[40]
From December 2019 to January 2020, the Rexburg police, the Fremont County
sheriff's office, and the FBI intensified the investigation into the
disappearances of the two children, as well as the investigation into Tamara
Daybell's death, and the flight of Chad and Lori Daybell from Idaho.
Evidence was collected, and Tamara Daybell's body was exhumed for autopsy.
Colby Ryan and J.J. Vallow's grandparents pleaded with the Daybells to
return the children, with the latter offering a reward of $20,000.
Investigators contended that "'Joshua and Tylee's lives are in danger.',
[...] the children are not with Chad and Lori. [... Lori] knows where they
are or what has happened to them, but she has 'completely refused to assist
this investigation, [choosing instead to leave the state with her new
husband].'"
Through their lawyer, the Daybells stated that, "Chad Daybell was a loving
husband and he has the support of his children in this matter. Lori Daybell
is a devoted mother and she resents assertions to the contrary. We look
forward to addressing the allegations once they have moved beyond
speculation and rumor."[16]
A storage locker rented by Lori Vallow in October 2019 which contained items
belonging to, or related to, her children, such as clothing, bikes, and
photographs, was abandoned by her when she suddenly left Rexburg, Idaho, at
the end of November 2019. Video footage shows her and her brother, Alex
Cox,[c] moving items in and out of the locker.[41] Many items purportedly
belonged to Tylee and J.J.
On February 20, 2020, Lori Vallow was arrested by the Kauai Police
Department in Princeville, Hawaii and charged with two felony counts of
desertion and nonsupport of dependent children by prosecutors in Madison
County, Idaho. She was also charged with three misdemeanors: resisting or
obstructing officers, criminal solicitation to commit a crime, and contempt
of court. She was being held on $5 million bail.[42] She later agreed to be
extradited back to Idaho to fight the charges. The judge lowered her bail
from $5 million to $1 million. On May 1, 2020, Lori appeared for a court
hearing in Rexburg to request a reduction of her $1 million bail. The judge
denied her request.[43] At least two local bond companies were reportedly
unwilling to work with her.[44]
In a March 24, 2020 report, NBC referenced documents that Lori and Chad
Daybell became convinced that Tylee and J.J. were "possessed" and had become
"zombies."[45]
On June 9, 2020, police executed a search warrant at Chad Daybell’s home,
where they discovered human remains buried in a purported pet cemetery.
Daybell was booked into jail later that day on obstruction or concealment of
evidence. He was later charged with felony murder. On June 10, 2020, his
bail was set at $1 million.[12][46] On July 2, prosecutors dropped two of
the charges against Lori Daybell, two felony counts of desertion and
nonsupport of dependent children, and instead charged her with obstruction
or concealment of evidence in regards to her children's remains.[47]
On July 17, 2020, in light of the two felony counts against Lori Daybell
being dropped, her bond was lowered by Magistrate Judge Michelle Mallard in
Madison County. Judge Mallard decided to decrease bond to $50,000 on each
charge, totaling $150,000, but noted that Daybell would still need to post
$1 million in neighboring Fremont County to get out of jail. In addition to
the bond reduction, a jury trial for the Madison County charges against Lori
Vallow was set for January 25-29, 2021.[47] On May 25, 2021, Vallow and
Daybell were were indicted on the charge of conspiracy to commit
first-degree murder, first-degree murder, and grand theft by deception for
the deaths of Tylee, and J.J., and Tammy. Lori Vallow was charged with grand
theft related to "Social Security Survivor benefits over $1,000 allocated
for the care of minors Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow that were appropriated after
the children were missing and ultimately found deceased". Chad Daybell was
charged with insurance fraud "related to a life insurance policy he had on
Tammy Daybell for which he was the beneficiary and received funds after her
death".[48]
On June 10, 2020, the Woodcock and Ryan families confirmed that the human
remains which were found on Daybell’s property were those of Tylee and J.J.
This finding was officially confirmed by the Rexburg Police Department on
June 13. Since the children's remains were found, they are no longer
considered missing, and the investigation is now focused on determining the
circumstances surrounding their deaths.[49][50][51]

^ Jump up to: a b c d e Cox was born Alexander Lamar Cox and was known by
the diminutive Alex. In late 2019, Cox married his fiancée Zulema Pastenes
in Clark County, Nevada and changed his legal name upon marriage to
Alexander Lamar Pastenes according to their marriage certificate.[2]
^ Daybell has been known by a variety of different legal names. Daybell was
born Lori Norene Cox in San Bernardino County, California. She was known as
Lori Norene Ryan when she was married to her second husband Joseph Ryan and
was announced as such during her Mrs. Texas beauty pageant in 2004.[19]
After marrying Charles Vallow, Lori took the name Lori Norene Vallow and has
been known as such since the investigation into the disappearance and deaths
of her children. Since marrying Chad Daybell, Lori has informed Madison
County court that she prefers the name Lori Norene Daybell.[20] She is
referred to as both Lori Norene Vallow and Lori Norene Daybell in court
filings.[21] She has commonly been referred to as Lori Vallow Daybell in the
media during the investigation.[22][23] Daybell's attorney submitted a
motion to the court in March 2021 that her legal name is Lori Norene Ryan
Vallow Daybell. Included in the motion was Lori and Chad Daybell's marriage
certificate from Hawaii which states her new legal name as Lori Ryan
Daybell.[24]
^ Preparing a People is a doomsday preparation-focused series of events, the
stated goal of which is to "prepare the people of this earth for the Second
Coming of Jesus Christ". Daybell, a keynote speaker for the event, gave
lectures for the group on several occasions[31]

Tylee Ashlyn Ryan (September 24, 2002 – September 9, 2019)[a] and Joshua
Jaxon "J. J." Vallow (May 25, 2012 – September 23, 2019)[b] were two
American children from Rexburg, Idaho, who went missing in September 2019
and were found deceased in June 2020. Tylee Ryan was last seen alive at
Yellowstone National Park on September 8, 2019. J.J. was last seen alive on
September 23, 2019, at Rexburg's Kennedy Elementary School. J.J. was
initially reported missing by relatives concerned not only about the
children from whom they had not heard in weeks, but also several other
suspicious incidents. In November 2019, police questioned their mother, Lori
Vallow Daybell, about the children's whereabouts and welfare.
Vallow Daybell and her new husband, Chad Guy Daybell, claimed that J.J. was
staying with family friend Melanie Gibb in Arizona, where they had lived
before moving to Idaho in early September 2019. When police reached Gibb by
phone, she told police that Joshua was not with her and had not been there
for several months. More than a week later, Gibb called police saying that
both Lori and her husband, Chad Daybell, had asked her to lie to police
about J.J.'s whereabouts but she refused. Police efforts to locate J.J. led
to the discovery that his older sister, Tylee Ryan, was also missing.
Complicating circumstances around the children's disappearances was a string
of suspicious deaths. Vallow Daybell's estranged husband, Charles Vallow,
was shot and killed in July 2019 by her brother, Alex Cox, who claimed self
defense. Cox died of a blood clot on 12 December 2019.[c] In early October
2019, Brandon Boudreaux, the then-estranged husband of Vallow Daybell's
niece, Melani, was shot at in the driveway of his Gilbert, Arizona home from
a vehicle still registered to the deceased Charles Vallow. In October 2019,
Chad Daybell's wife, Tammy Daybell, was attacked in her driveway by what she
believed was someone shooting a defective paintball gun. A few weeks later,
on October 19, she died in her sleep from what was initially recorded as
"natural causes." No post-mortem or autopsy was initially performed. After
Chad and Lori's marriage two weeks after Tammy's death, law enforcement
became suspicious and exhumed Tammy's corpse for autopsy.[3][4][5]
On February 20, 2020, Lori Vallow Daybell was arrested in Kauai and charged
with desertion and nonsupport of her dependent children. She was extradited
to Idaho and traveled there on March 5, 2020. On June 9, 2020, police
executed a search warrant at Chad Daybell's home and discovered the human
remains of J.J. and Tylee.[6][7][8][9][10][11] Chad Daybell was arrested
later that day on charges of destruction or concealment of evidence.[12][13]
On May 25, 2021, Vallow and Daybell were charged with the first degree
murder's of Tylee, J.J., and Tammy.

Chad Guy Daybell (born August 11, 1968, Provo, Utah)[14] married Tamara
"Tammy" Douglas (May 4, 1970 – October 19, 2019) in Manti, Utah on March 9,
1990. He graduated from Brigham Young University in 1992 with a B.A. in
journalism,[14] and worked, among other jobs, as a cemetery sexton, also
referred to as a gravedigger. In 2004, he founded Spring Creek Book Company,
devoted to his end times fiction and other religious books, with a man
identified in media only by the name Douglas, a graphic artist and
manager.[15] Chad and Tammy had five children: Garth, Emma, Seth, Leah, and
Mark.[14]
In 2015, Daybell claimed he heard a voice telling him to relocate to
Rexburg, Idaho. He and Tammy moved there from Springville, Utah that
June.[16]
On October 9, 2019, Tammy Daybell reported on Facebook and to police that
she was shot at, in her driveway, by a masked man with what she believed was
a defective paintball marker. The Fremont County sheriff's office did not
find the perpetrator. Ten days later she was found dead in her home,
purportedly from natural causes. Chad Daybell claimed that she had retired
the night before "with a terrible cough" and died in her sleep.
No post-mortem or autopsy was performed at the time, as Chad Daybell
declined and the county coroner did not overrule his decision. Two months
later, Tammy Daybell's body was exhumed and autopsied. The results were
completed by February 2021 but have not been made public.[16]In February of
2021, the autopsy of Tammy Daybell was released from the Utah Medical
Examiner to Freemont County Sheriff's Office. Shortly after, the Freemont
County Prosecutor's office announced they would be handling the case going
forward. In a subsequent interview, one of Tammy and Chad's children, Emma
said in an interview that her family has not been contacted regarding the
results of the autopsy.[17]

Lori Ryan Daybell,[d] also referred to as Lori Vallow Daybell, was born Lori
Norene Cox on June 26, 1973 in San Bernardino, California.[18] At the age of
19, she married high school boyfriend Nelson Yanes in 1992 and the marriage
ended in divorce shortly afterwards.[25] At age 22, she married 23-year-old
William Lagioia in Travis County, Texas, on October 22, 1995.[26] She and
Lagioia had a son, Colby, in 1996, before divorcing on February 25,
1998.[16]
In 2001, Lori married Joseph Anthony Ryan Jr.[16] Ryan legally adopted
Colby. The couple's biological daughter, Tylee, was born in 2002. Ryan filed
for divorce on August 13, 2004, which was finalized on May 18, 2005.[16] In
2007, in Travis County, Texas, Ryan was attacked by Lori's brother,
Alexander Lamar "Alex" Cox, based on allegations Ryan had been abusive to
his wife Lori and the children. [c] Cox tasered Ryan and threatened to
murder him. Cox pled guilty and was sentenced to 90 days in jail, which he
served in Austin, Texas.
Cox, who changed his surname to Pastenes, the surname of his wife, died on
December 12, 2019.[27] His death was attributed to blood clots and high
blood pressure.[28]
On February 24, 2006 Lori Ryan married Leland Anthony Vallow (born August
17, 1956, Calcasieu, Louisiana – died July 11, 2019, Chandler, Arizona),
known as Charles Vallow, in Las Vegas.[16] Vallow, a lifelong Catholic,
converted and became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, his new wife's faith. Vallow had two sons from a previous marriage,
Nicholas and Zachary Chase.[29] In 2013, the couple adopted Vallow's
grandnephew, Joshua Jaxon "J.J." Vallow (2012–2019),[30] before moving to
Kauai in late 2014.[16]
Around 2015, Lori Vallow read Chad Daybell's Standing in Holy Places series
of books, becoming "obsessed" with them, according to a friend. In 2016, the
Vallow family moved back to Arizona. In the fall of 2018, Lori Vallow and
her friend, Melanie Gibb attend a "Preparing a People" event. At this event,
Lori Vallow was introduced to Chad Daybell for the first time.[e] According
to Gibb, by the end of the weekend, Daybell told Vallow the two had been
married in seven previous lifetimes. The two began a private communication.
Several weeks after their initial meeting, Charles Vallow left town for a
business trip and Lori Vallow held an intimate overnight gathering at her
home. In attendance were both Melanie Gibb and Chad Daybell, who was
speaking at another conference in Mesa, Arizona. According to the Dateline
NBC podcast, Mommy Doomsday Gibb recalled Daybell lavishing attention on
Vallow and expounding upon his unusual religious beliefs and "the deeper
mysteries of God," with a small group of the overnight guests. According to
Gibb, Daybell stated he had lived 31 different lives on various earth-like
planets. He referred to others as “light” or "dark" and various gradations
in between. Daybell believed the "Dark" individuals were from this earth but
were followers of Satan. Those who were "light" were "followers of Jesus
Christ." Chad Daybell referred to Lori Vallow and an "eternal being" of 21
separate lives, only five of which had occurred on this planet; the same
five he had lived on this planet. Lori Vallow was both thrilled and
attracted to this belief system and began a much deeper and almost singular
focus on this newfound "purpose" and on Chad Daybell.
December 5, 2018, Lori Vallow and Daybell appeared together on the Preparing
a People podcast episode "Time to Warrior Up". Daybell later stayed at the
Vallows' home in Arizona.[16]
According to Charles Vallow, in February 2019, Lori informed her husband
"she no longer cared about him or J.J.", and claimed she was the
reincarnated wife of Joseph Smith, then vanished for 58 days.[30] The same
month, Charles Vallow filed for divorce, stating that his wife had
"threaten[ed] to murder him", taken $35,000 from their joint bank accounts,
and stole his truck. He filed for an order of protection against Vallow at
the advice of his attorney, citing a "genuine fear for his life".[32]
After his death, Vallow's attorneys stated he was primarily concerned for
J.J.'s safety and well-being, as he needed a consistent routine due to his
special needs.[32] Vallow was also concerned for Tylee, but he was unable to
include her in the filings as she was not his biological daughter, and he
had no legal standing. Vallow withdrew the petition one month later, saying
he "wanted to try to make the marriage work".[16]
On July 11, 2019, Lori Vallow’s estranged husband, Charles Vallow, was shot
and killed in Chandler, Arizona, by Lori's brother, Alex Cox,[33][34] who
claimed self-defense, alleging that he went to confront Vallow about abusing
his sister, whereupon "Charles Vallow struck him in the head with the bat,
so he went to get his gun."[35] Both J.J. and Tylee were present during the
shooting; Lori did not inform Vallow's extended family or children from his
previous marriage of the murder.[36]
A wedding ring was purchased on Amazon from the deceased Charles Vallow's
account for $35.99 on October 2, 2019, 17 days before the death of Daybell's
wife, Tammy Daybell.[37]
Another factor contributing to the mystery is the well-documented obsession
of Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell with certain "end of times" beliefs, about
which Chad Daybell has written a number of books, and together they have
discussed in podcasts. Reportedly Vallow's niece, Melani Boudreaux, shares
these beliefs.[citation needed]
As of September 23, 2019, a doorbell video of J.J. Vallow playing with a
friend is the last video of him taken. Rexburg's Kennedy Elementary School
is the last confirmed place he was seen.[30] On September 24, 2019, Lori
Vallow contacted J.J.'s school to tell them that she was withdrawing him,
claiming she would be homeschooling him. Tylee Ryan was last seen September
8, 2019 at Yellowstone National Park with her brother J.J., her mother Lori
Vallow, and her uncle Alex Cox,[c] Lori's brother. Chad Daybell had become
incommunicado, last speaking with filmmaker Devin K. Hansen via text
messaging.[16]
In October, two Venmo payments were made from Tylee's account to her older
half-brother, Colby Ryan. One payment was sent on October 10, 2019 with a
message that read "we love you," and the second payment was sent on October
16, 2019, with a heart emoji.[16] Colby has said he had not heard from Tylee
since the October texts. After text-messaging Tylee indicating he was
worried, he received responses from Tylee's cell phone that indicated she
was safe, but too busy to talk.[16]After repeated calls to Tylee went
unanswered, Colby Ryan became more worried.[38]
Vallow and Daybell were married in Hawaii on November 5, 2019, two weeks
after the death of Tamara Daybell.[39] They informed others that Tylee had
died in 2017 and/or that Lori had no minor children. At the request of
J.J.'s grandmother, Kay Woodcock, the police visited Lori Daybell's Rexburg,
Idaho townhouse on November 26 to conduct a welfare check on J.J., but
Vallow told police that J.J. was in Arizona with family.[16] That night, a
neighbor saw Lori Vallow Daybell and her brother packing a truck outside her
home. When the police and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrived the
next day to search the home, it was abandoned. Chad Daybell's home was also
searched by investigators.[40]
From December 2019 to January 2020, the Rexburg police, the Fremont County
sheriff's office, and the FBI intensified the investigation into the
disappearances of the two children, as well as the investigation into Tamara
Daybell's death, and the flight of Chad and Lori Daybell from Idaho.
Evidence was collected, and Tamara Daybell's body was exhumed for autopsy.
Colby Ryan and J.J. Vallow's grandparents pleaded with the Daybells to
return the children, with the latter offering a reward of $20,000.
Investigators contended that "'Joshua and Tylee's lives are in danger.',
[...] the children are not with Chad and Lori. [... Lori] knows where they
are or what has happened to them, but she has 'completely refused to assist
this investigation, [choosing instead to leave the state with her new
husband].'"
Through their lawyer, the Daybells stated that, "Chad Daybell was a loving
husband and he has the support of his children in this matter. Lori Daybell
is a devoted mother and she resents assertions to the contrary. We look
forward to addressing the allegations once they have moved beyond
speculation and rumor."[16]
A storage locker rented by Lori Vallow in October 2019 which contained items
belonging to, or related to, her children, such as clothing, bikes, and
photographs, was abandoned by her when she suddenly left Rexburg, Idaho, at
the end of November 2019. Video footage shows her and her brother, Alex
Cox,[c] moving items in and out of the locker.[41] Many items purportedly
belonged to Tylee and J.J.
On February 20, 2020, Lori Vallow was arrested by the Kauai Police
Department in Princeville, Hawaii and charged with two felony counts of
desertion and nonsupport of dependent children by prosecutors in Madison
County, Idaho. She was also charged with three misdemeanors: resisting or
obstructing officers, criminal solicitation to commit a crime, and contempt
of court. She was being held on $5 million bail.[42] She later agreed to be
extradited back to Idaho to fight the charges. The judge lowered her bail
from $5 million to $1 million. On May 1, 2020, Lori appeared for a court
hearing in Rexburg to request a reduction of her $1 million bail. The judge
denied her request.[43] At least two local bond companies were reportedly
unwilling to work with her.[44]
In a March 24, 2020 report, NBC referenced documents that Lori and Chad
Daybell became convinced that Tylee and J.J. were "possessed" and had become
"zombies."[45]
On June 9, 2020, police executed a search warrant at Chad Daybell’s home,
where they discovered human remains buried in a purported pet cemetery.
Daybell was booked into jail later that day on obstruction or concealment of
evidence. He was later charged with felony murder. On June 10, 2020, his
bail was set at $1 million.[12][46] On July 2, prosecutors dropped two of
the charges against Lori Daybell, two felony counts of desertion and
nonsupport of dependent children, and instead charged her with obstruction
or concealment of evidence in regards to her children's remains.[47]
On July 17, 2020, in light of the two felony counts against Lori Daybell
being dropped, her bond was lowered by Magistrate Judge Michelle Mallard in
Madison County. Judge Mallard decided to decrease bond to $50,000 on each
charge, totaling $150,000, but noted that Daybell would still need to post
$1 million in neighboring Fremont County to get out of jail. In addition to
the bond reduction, a jury trial for the Madison County charges against Lori
Vallow was set for January 25-29, 2021.[47] On May 25, 2021, Vallow and
Daybell were were indicted on the charge of conspiracy to commit
first-degree murder, first-degree murder, and grand theft by deception for
the deaths of Tylee, and J.J., and Tammy. Lori Vallow was charged with grand
theft related to "Social Security Survivor benefits over $1,000 allocated
for the care of minors Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow that were appropriated after
the children were missing and ultimately found deceased". Chad Daybell was
charged with insurance fraud "related to a life insurance policy he had on
Tammy Daybell for which he was the beneficiary and received funds after her
death".[48]
On June 10, 2020, the Woodcock and Ryan families confirmed that the human
remains which were found on Daybell’s property were those of Tylee and J.J.
This finding was officially confirmed by the Rexburg Police Department on
June 13. Since the children's remains were found, they are no longer
considered missing, and the investigation is now focused on determining the
circumstances surrounding their deaths.[49][50][51]

^ Daybell has been known by a variety of different legal names. Daybell was
born Lori Norene Cox in San Bernardino County, California. She was known as
Lori Norene Ryan when she was married to her second husband Joseph Ryan and
was announced as such during her Mrs. Texas beauty pageant in 2004.[19]
After marrying Charles Vallow, Lori took the name Lori Norene Vallow and has
been known as such since the investigation into the disappearance and deaths
of her children. Since marrying Chad Daybell, Lori has informed Madison
County court that she prefers the name Lori Norene Daybell.[20] She is
referred to as both Lori Norene Vallow and Lori Norene Daybell in court
filings.[21] She has commonly been referred to as Lori Vallow Daybell in the
media during the investigation.[22][23] Daybell's attorney submitted a
motion to the court in March 2021 that her legal name is Lori Norene Ryan
Vallow Daybell. Included in the motion was Lori and Chad Daybell's marriage
certificate from Hawaii which states her new legal name as Lori Ryan
Daybell.[24]
