Ultimately, it doesn't work out between the Vallos and they remain estranged, but they don't divorce. Keep in mind, Laurie says this man isn't really Charles anymore, that he's some kind of dark entity who's taken over his body. Friends later say Laurie was likely told these things by Chad Daybell.

The idea of Satan or evil spirits sent to derail mankind exists within the mainstream LDS church and in other religions. But as Helles points out, Chad takes these ideas a step further.

To determine if a person is aligned with God or Satan, Chad had devised his own convoluted rubric. He categorized people as either light or dark, basically good or bad. From there, he rated people on a sliding scale from zero to six based on how light or how dark they were. For example, Lori's parents were threes on the light scale, and Lori was a 4.3.

Meanwhile, two of Lori's exes were twos or higher on the dark scale. Charles started out as a three light, but according to Chad, everyone's ratings could change if something happened, like if they were taken over by a demon or another dark entity.

When Charles was supposedly possessed, he became a dark being, or as some people involved in this story would say, a zombie. Remember when he told police Laurie accused him of being someone named Nick or Ned Schneider? That's because Chad gives these dark entities names like Ned or Garrett or Hillary.

After Chad claims Charles is possessed, Laurie invites a few like-minded friends to an intense prayer circle she hopes will cast the darkness out. Once finished, Chad tells her it worked, but a new, more powerful entity moves in. By July 2019, Lori lives in a new house about 30 minutes outside of Phoenix that Charles rents for her and the kids.

He stays in Houston, but makes trips back and forth to visit and care for JJ. That's what he's doing on July 11th when he arrives at Lori's house to drive JJ to school. He's also planning an intervention for Lori and is flying in one of her brothers, Adam, as backup. But at some point, another member of Lori's family finds out and tips her off.

When Charles arrives to pick up JJ, he's met by Lori's other brother, Alex Cox. He's an aspiring stand-up comedian, and he's always been protective of his little sister. Now that he's one of Chad and Lori's followers, that's especially true. Chad even tells Alex it's his personal mission to protect her.

It's Alex who dials 911 that morning and reports, quote, I got in a fight with my brother-in-law and I shot him in self-defense. The dispatcher instructs Alex to perform CPR until help arrives, but Charles dies. Alex tells investigators that earlier that morning, Lori and Charles got into a heated argument.

Tylee came into the room holding a bat as if to back up her mom, but Charles snatched it from her hands. That's when Alex says Charles took a swing, hitting him in the back of his head as Lori fled with Tylee and JJ. Alex grabbed his pistol from the room where he was staying, but Charles wouldn't stop advancing on him. So Alex shot twice in self-defense, he says.
