In late November 2019, JJ's grandmother, Kay Woodcock, finally called police down in Gilbert, Arizona to tell them that JJ had been missing for three months and that his adopted mother, Lori Vallow, wasn't responding to texts or calls. Kay had called Arizona police because she didn't know Lori had moved to Idaho.
But unbeknownst to Kay, those same cops were already investigating Lori for the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreau because Brandon had absolutely recognized the green Jeep that his attempted assassin drove as the same one that belonged to Lori's daughter. Additionally, those same cops in Arizona were also revisiting the death of Lori's fourth husband, Charles Vallow.
So one of the Arizona detectives agreed to drive to Idaho to do a welfare check on JJ. And the only way that visit could have gone worse for Lori and Chad is if JJ's dead body had fallen from the fucking ceiling in the middle of the interview.
So when detectives knocked on the door of Lori's townhouse, it was actually Alex Cox and Chad Daybell who answered, and the last person you wanted talking to the cops were these two knuckleheads. Where Lori was always calm and collected with the police, Alex, and especially Chad, melted under the slightest pressure.
For example, when detectives asked if JJ was home, Alex and Chad just looked at each other and said nothing.
The grandmother, Kay Woodcock. And the detective told Alex that he knew this wasn't true because guess what? Kay Woodcock was the one who called and asked for the welfare check.
This can't be real then. So the detective asked for Lori's phone number. Alex stupidly said he didn't have his sister's phone number.
But if you wanted to talk to Lori, she was in the townhouse next door. So he just immediately was like, I don't know her number, but she's next door. You can talk to her there. She heard her through the wall. Yeah. While one officer went to talk to Lori, Chad panicked and tried fleeing the interview in his Chevy Equinox.
The detectives, of course, stopped him and asked him again about JJ. Chad said the last time he saw JJ was in October, and he didn't have Lori's number either, in case the cop was wondering, because he didn't know her that well.
Yeah, not like a seven-year-old disabled boy.
Well, Chad's claim that he didn't know Lori that well was another easily disproved lie. Because the cops knew that Chad and Lori had just gotten married in Hawaii.
Because how long does it take to really know someone? Sometimes you don't know anybody, you can live with them forever. Finally, though, the cops located Lori herself in one of the townhouses. And she tried using the same charm that had worked on cops her entire life. But the veil was starting to slip. Lori tried the brick wall of rambling tactic. This is one of Lori's go-tos.
She went on and on about JJ's autism, how she was such a good person for raising him, how horrible Kay Woodcock was, and how Lori should have been the person to receive the insurance benefits for her husband's death. In fact, she's going to sue Kay Woodcock. It's just moving from subject to subject to subject, so the cops can't ever focus on what... they're actually there for.
And finally, Lori started talking about how her brother Adam, a.k.a. Bo Nasty, he was trying to kill her for insurance money. She's basically deflecting all the blame away from herself while simultaneously trying to play on the sympathies of the police.
But when the cops didn't buy it and just kept pressing her to just tell him where JJ was, she improvised and said that JJ and Tylee were both at the movies with her friend, podcaster Melanie Gipp. They're all seeing Frozen 2.
Okay, sure.
You just want to blame Josh Gad for anything.
Yeah. I'm glad you kind of turned the corner on that one. You used to have a lot of animosity.
Because you used to have like a kind of a blanket hatred.
Yeah.
