Last fall, Idaho officials started looking into the mysterious disappearance of two children, 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan, who haven’t been seen since September 2019. In the months since they were reported missing, officials have been unable to locate the children, and the case became increasingly convoluted.

In November of last year, law enforcement visited the home of Lori Vallow and her husband, Chad Daybell, to perform a welfare check on JJ and Tylee, Vallow’s children who had been reported missing, according to the New York Times. The couple told police the children were living in Arizona, leaving authorities suspicious; when law enforcement arrived the next day with a search warrant, they discovered that the couple had abruptly fled. The couple was later found in Hawaii, where police finally arrested Vallow in February. This summer, police found human remains on Daybell’s property, which they later confirmed belong to JJ and Tylee. Now, Daybell and Vallow are each facing felony conspiracy charges, and both have pleaded not guilty. Trials are scheduled to begin next year.

Here’s everything we know about the case.

Vallow’s children went missing in September.

Last November, extended family notified law enforcement in Rexburg, Idaho, that they hadn’t been able to get in touch with JJ and Tylee since September. In response to the alert, Rexburg police visited Vallow’s home, where she was living with Daybell, to question them about the minors’ whereabouts. According to police, the couple claimed the children had moved to Arizona, where they were living with other relatives, and requested that law enforcement return at a later date. When investigators showed up the following day, the couple had fled.

In a statement in early January, Rexburg police said, “We strongly believe that Joshua and Tylee’s lives are in danger.”

A few months later, the couple was discovered in Hawaii.

  1. DemocRATS? Innocent.
    Conservatives? Hang, draw and quarter them.

    Our wounded Lady Justice, tends to Pooh Pooh crimes against children thanks to the demoncrat cabal.

    Poor kids, the people they should be able to trust betrayed everything.

    My 4 year-old great grandson was murdered by his new (by two weeks) stepmom. That was two years ago in June and the bitch is still awaiting trial. In commifornia, so they’ll probably declare it suicide.

  2. My crazy ex-mother-in-law had a cousin in Louisiana. He’s the guy who shot his son’s molester in the head as he was being escorted through the airport in New Orleans. He got off!
