Mom of 2 missing kids found in Hawaii with new husband

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Police say the mother of two missing kids has been found in Hawaii along with her new husband, but there's still no sign of the children in the cross-country investigation that includes several mysterious deaths.

Police in Kauai pulled over Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell near a beachside resort on Saturday, later searching them and their car for any evidence. But authorities in Idaho say there's no sign that 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan ever made it to Hawaii, and federal, state and local law enforcement agencies are still searching for the kids who haven't been seen since September.

They also served Vallow with a court order from Idaho, directing her to bring her kids to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare by Thursday or face legal action. Still, neither Lori Vallow nor Chad Daybell have been charged or arrested in connection with the matter, Kauai police said Sunday in a prepared statement.

The strange case began last July, after Vallow's estranged husband Charles Vallow was shot and killed by her brother, Alex Cox, in an altercation at their home in Phoenix. At the time, Cox said the shooting was in self-defense, but the case remains under investigation. In December, Cox also died of unknown causes, and police in Gilbert, Arizona, are still waiting for toxicology test results in his death investigation.

Lori Vallow moved to eastern Idaho with the kids about a month after Charles Vallow's death. Extended family members grew concerned as their contact with the kids tapered and then stopped completely, and police in Rexburg, Idaho, say the children were last seen in late September, though Vallow never reported them missing..

In November, responding to concerns from extended family that they hadn't heard from the children, Rexburg police paid a visit to Vallow to ask her and Daybell about the kids. The couple told officers the kids had gone to live with relatives in Arizona, police said — a claim they quickly discovered wasn't true. When investigators returned to Vallow's home the next day, the couple was gone.

The Fremont County Sheriff's office began to question the circumstances surrounding Tammy Daybell's death. They worked with authorities in Utah, where she was buried, to have her body exhumed for an autopsy and additional testing in December.

1. They have been found but not charged or arrested?

What the hell is happening? I have been following this story, and still I am wondering how theses evil crazy people get to walk around freely. I am sure they are being investigated. Even a few hours is enough to disappear.

2. seems the authorities are trying to find those kids first. weird story. both spouses are dead.

brother dead and kids missing. I hope those kids are ok.

[Apple Fritter]

3. It's weird to me that the obvious may have happened...

With so many mysterious and bizarre deaths and their incriminating actions. Those people are right there, and yet they are walking free. I am sure they are being watched. But anything can happen till Thursday which is the deadline to hand over those kids. Any other year, and this would be headlines for weeks, but this isn't a priority with so much going on in the world.

4. What would you like to charge them with?

And what is the evidence that will convict them of it?

[Hortensis]

9. Right. Not long ago these different jurisdictions

often wouldn't have connected these deaths, but in those cases when they did they would always have had to determine probable cause for arrests.

14. Child endangerment?

Lying that the children had gone to live with relatives, and then fleeing (and now being found without them) seems good evidence they have endangered them.

12. Presumably a lot of suspicion but not enough actual evidence for an arrest.

5. Such a creepy couple. Those two poor kids are likely dead.

The mom never reported them missing and appears not to care, partying in Kauai.

The article notes a lot of creepy facts:

Looks like her new hubby killed his former wife:
"Meanwhile, investigators just one county away were also digging into a mystery. Daybell's last wife, Tammy Daybell, died of what her obituary said was natural causes on Oct. 19. Chad Daybell married Vallow about two weeks later."

Both the mom and her new hubby appear to be cultish nutbags:
"Divorce documents filed by Charles Vallow last February claimed that Lori believed she was a “translated being” and “a god assigned to carry out the work of the 144,000 at Christ's second coming in July 2020.” Chad Daybell also appears to have somewhat unorthodox beliefs. He has claimed in blog posts and podcasts that he had previously died or had near-death experiences that he said allowed him to receive visions about the future. "

11. Her brother shot and killed her former husband. Twice in the chest.

Claimed self-defense, and wasn't arrested. But brother then himself died in December.

[SunSeeker]

13. Yep. I don't think anyone died of natural causes in this sickening story. nt

[Demovictory9]

17. nope. Looks like couple wanted to be free to marry without ex-spouses hanging around.

[bobbieinok]

6. Truly strange story

[malaise]

7. Holy Shit -his last wife died too?

Meanwhile, investigators just one county away were also digging into a mystery. Daybell's last wife, Tammy Daybell, died of what her obituary said was natural causes on Oct. 19. Chad Daybell married Vallow about two weeks later.

[Demovictory9]

16. yep. Three deaths associated with this couple and 2 kids missing.

15. They're going for the "Made for TV" lifetime movie.

Some people are horrible. And it gets worse when they get together.
