Lori Vallow

[Scarlett]

Have we discussed this case?  https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/21/us/idaho-missing-children-mom-affidavit/index.html

I am just so sad over these kids.  I keep waiting for some closure but so far I guess she hasn't confessed where the bodies are.

To me the real crime here is how very long she was allowed to go unarrested due to not being accountable for her kids’ whereabouts. 

I think part of it is that they were hoping she would say or do something that would lead to the kids. 

[Scarlett]

I can't figure out if the new husband is involved.  And his wife died just two weeks before they married....was she killed?  So many questions.

I've been following this and it's crazy how many people connected to her and her husband have recently died. The whole story is so unbelievable that they were able to get away with so much. I feel so bad for those kids.

[SquirrellyMama]

I saw her on the news this morning being led into the courtroom. She looked annoyed at being there.

When I first heard the story, I thought he was possibly manipulating her, in a cult-leaderish way. The more details I read, the easier I imagine her as a sort of black widow. 

my understanding is he's part of her warped outlook.

i'm concerned the kids never left Yellowstone . . . . . .

The boy was seen afterwards at school.   The girl, however, wasn’t as far as we know.

I saw on a news reel that Lori and her husband were seen moving large objects in and out of a storage unit.  Why they haven't investigated that I have no idea.  It would not surprise me if the bodies of their ex-spouses and her children are all in there.

I thought they already checked the storage unit. Did they have more than the one? I know in one they found a lot of the kids things.

Oh, maybe I watched an old news report?   Let me go back and see.

ETA:  You are right.  I was looking at something from a couple of weeks ago.  Kids' things were in there.

I think she killed his wife and he killed her kids.  No basis whatsoever, it just seems like what happened to me.

[Scarlett]

I listened to 3 episodes on Dr. Phils podcast about this bizarre case.  There is suppose to be a final 4th episode but I couldn’t find it.  It was really good and I learned a lot of new details.  Crazy story.

considering how close they were to Yellowstone - it would surprise me more if they bodies were in a storage unit, when they could have just thrown them into an acidic geyser. (the bodies would dissolve in less than a day.)

Here is an interesting tidbit.  She apparently believes the world is going to end on July 22, 2020.  When that day comes and goes and she is still sitting in jail maybe she will fess up.  

There is the theory she killed the kids because she wanted to save them from this wicked world.  But I personally believe they were in her way. She got rid of her son's therapy dog.  

The Daybell's first wife had a weird encournter with a man who showed up at her car when she was unloading groceries one night.  She thought he shot at her with a paint ball gun.  10 days later she was dead.  Still no word on what the autopsy revealed.  

And Lori has a niece who left her husband to join this 'group'...and the husband also had a near  miss with being shot at.

that could fit with her claims her kids are "safe".

I also believe they were in her way.

she wouldn't be the first woman to kill her kids because they were keeping her from the life she wanted.

I still have a vivid memory of the image of diane downs.  her new boyfriend didn't want kids - so she shot hers.  Maybe that one stuck out because I had my first baby that year.

Susan Smith is the one that sticks in my memory.  1994.

The remains of the two children were found on Vallow’s husband’s property. 😢  He’s been arrested. I think she’s been in jail for a while.

I don't think they're the only ones they've murdered.  there are other people who "conveniently" died associated with them.   and her ex-bil? who claims someone shot at him.

 

link to east idaho news.   they don't say what the "egregious" manner of hiding a body way, just that one of them was.

horrible.  I can't even imagine killing your own children.  How awful.  

[freesia]

Yeah I thought it was all so odd and possible they’d hidden the children somewhere for some bizarre reason related to their beliefs. I am very sad about this development.

[Katy]

I'm sorry to hear they are dead.

[hippiemamato3]

I expect the charges will change soon. Right now they are pretty light. 

[Scarlett]

Someone talked/cracked.  The Authorities dug one hole and found the bodies.  They knew exactly where to look.
