Now, that's not at all what happened. Almost immediately, the Mormons who'd spent years supporting and believing Chad and Lori, they began to cut ties. The founders of Preparing a People, the Preparing a People podcast network, they issued a statement denying they were a cult. And it's always bad when you have to issue a statement denying you're a cult.
Yeah. And they quickly distanced themselves from Chad and Lori by removing all of their podcast appearances. Now, that's a pap smear. The only person who came to Chad and Lori's side was the founder of the neo-fundamentalist Mormon message board, Avow, who publicly declared that Chad and Lori were innocent.
This guy even allowed Chad and Lori to publish a statement on his website in which they claimed to be victims of bad press who were only trying to protect JJ and Tylee from so-called evil forces.
Yeah, no, no, bad press.
A bad notice can kill a whole show, you know.
Yeah, it was Stillborn. It was more the CGI in that, though.
By January 16th, 2020, the state of Idaho filed a court order demanding that Laurie produce JJ and Tylee within five days. The deadline obviously came and went, and the media attention only increased when Dateline aired a two-hour special called Where Are the Children? Appropriately, they aired it on Valentine's Day. But finally, time ran out for Lori Vallow.
On February 20th, 2020, 02-20-2020, and this was a month after she blew past the court date where she was supposed to produce the kids, Lori was arrested in Hawaii, where she was charged with a whole host of crimes, from desertion of a child to contempt of court. Chad, however, stuck to the script.
While Lori was in jail in Hawaii awaiting extradition to Idaho, Chad talked to her for an hour every day, assuring her this was all a part of the celestial plan and that the world was still definitely coming to an end on July 22, 2020.
Things were really starting to cook for Lori Vallow, but she was extradited to Idaho in March of 2020, which was the same month that COVID-19 brought the entire world to a halt. And now we're going to pause for a four-hour series on COVID-19. Pause.
Lori's march towards justice was therefore put on hold, but it did give investigators more time to turn their attention towards Chad Daybell and the death of Lori's fourth husband, Charles Vallow.
So after combing through all of Chad and Lori's texts, both the ones they sent to each other and the ones they sent to other people, investigators found the absolutely idiotic text that Chad had sent to his wife the day after Tylee's murder, the one about cremating the raccoon and burying it in the pet cemetery.
Now, investigators knew that this text was sent the day after Tylee was seen alive for the last time, during the trip to Yellowstone with her uncle Alex and her mother Lori. From there, investigators looked at Alex Cox's locations using his phone data. And when they put the locations and the stupid, over-explaining text together, they decided they'd better take a look at Chad Daybell's backyard.
W-H-I-N-E.
And so on June 9th, 2020, the FBI and Rexburg police brought cadaver dogs to Chad's home. Chad let them onto his property, then plopped down in his Chevy Equinox. He nervously watched investigators and kept getting in and out of his car while running his fingers through his hair, acting about as guilty as he possibly could.
Before long, the dogs had located the first burial site, that of J.J. Vallow. And just by coincidence, Lori had chosen that moment to call Chad from prison. That's the big coincidence in this story.
I love this call so much because this is the call between the two of them because I love calls when people realize how fucked they are. It's so much fun. We're just going to listen to 15 seconds of it because there's a lot of mumbling and you can't understand what Chad's saying most of the time without subtitles. But here is Chad and Lori realizing that their lives are over.
like okay babe like it's that whole like just oh hey are you okay but that's the weird thing about it is that it is that same like girlfriend it's girlfriend voice yeah it's that it's that same voice that your girlfriend or your wife gives you like when you're in great distress like it's that's the funny thing is you can actually tell she really loves him because like she's like she's genuinely concerned for him and genuinely wants to make him feel better but is she not just concerned with herself
I think partly, but I think she's concerned with herself, but she's also concerned about him.
And that's exactly what he did next.
