Lori Vallow Daybell Case

The Lori Vallow Daybell case has captivated the attention of the public and media since it first came to light in late 2019. The case involves the disappearance of two children, Tylee Ryan, and Joshua "JJ" Vallow, and the subsequent discovery of their bodies on the property of Lori Vallow Daybell's husband, Chad Daybell. The case has been a complex and multi-layered investigation that has involved multiple states and law enforcement agencies.

Background

Lori Vallow Daybell was originally from California but had moved to Idaho with her two children, Tylee and JJ, in late 2019. She had married her fifth husband, Chad Daybell, just weeks before moving to Idaho. Both Lori and Chad were members of a religious group that believed in preparing for the end of the world, and their beliefs and actions have been scrutinized in the investigation.

Tylee Ryan and Joshua "JJ" Vallow were last seen alive in September 2019, but their disappearance was not reported until November of that year. Lori and Chad had given conflicting stories about the whereabouts of the children, and they were both charged with multiple counts related to the disappearance and deaths of Tylee and JJ.

Investigation

The investigation into the disappearance of Tylee and JJ has been a multi-state effort, with law enforcement agencies in Idaho, Arizona, and Hawaii all involved. Lori and Chad were both arrested and charged with various crimes related to the disappearance and deaths of the children. They have both pleaded not guilty to the charges.

During the investigation, it was discovered that Lori's previous husband, Charles Vallow, had been shot and killed by her brother, Alex Cox, in July 2019. Cox claimed self-defense, but his death in December of that year added another layer of suspicion to the case.

In June 2020, the remains of Tylee and JJ were found buried on Chad Daybell's property in Idaho. Autopsies revealed that Tylee had been dismembered and burned before being buried, while JJ's body showed signs of being "disrespectfully handled" and also appeared to have been burned.

The case has also raised questions about the religious beliefs of Lori and Chad, and whether their beliefs may have played a role in the deaths of Tylee and JJ. Both Lori and Chad believed in the concept of "zombies," which they believed were possessed by demons and needed to be eliminated. It has been suggested that they may have believed that Tylee and JJ were zombies and needed to be killed.

Conclusion

The Lori Vallow Daybell case is a tragic and complex investigation that has captivated the public's attention. The deaths of Tylee and JJ have shocked the nation, and the involvement of Lori and Chad's religious beliefs has added another layer of intrigue to the case. As the case continues to unfold, more details may come to light about what happened to Tylee and JJ and what role Lori and Chad may have played in their deaths.
