Lori Vallow’s children, JJ (7) and Tylee (16) were last seen alive in September 2019.

Being involved with Lori seemed to be a dangerous deal.

In July 2019, after filing for a divorce and expressing fear for the children, Lori’s husband, Charles Vallow, was killed in Arizona by her brother Alex Cox. Alex claimed self-defense.

Alex died in December 2019. The official report said he died from natural causes.

Sometime in 2018, Lori became partners with a religious zealot named Chad Daybell. They were convinced the second coming of The Savior was near. The pair felt it was their responsibility to prepare everyone for his arrival.

Lori and Chad said people were turning into zombies, and they believed it was better for a person to be dead than to be a zombie.

Chad Daybell’s wife, Tammy, died on Oct. 19, 2019, leaving their five children motherless.

Chad and Lori became husband and wife on November 5, 2019.

When questioned concerning the children’s whereabouts, Lori either lied or ignored the question.

Chad and Lori took a trip to Hawaii in December 2019.

An Idaho judge ordered Lori to appear in court with the children. In February 2020, she was arrested in Hawaii for ignoring the judge’s order.

On June 9, 2020, the bodies of both children were found buried on Chad Daybell’s property.

Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell were charged with the murder of the children. Chad was charged with the murder of Tammy Daybell. Lori was accused of conspiracy in the murder of Charles Vallow.

The two will be tried separately for the death of the children. Chad faces the death penalty.

Each defendant will likely try to place the blame on the other one.

The press named Lori Vallow “The Cult Mom.”

Some call her a monster.
