In September 2019, 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Family members had heard nothing from them for months, but the children’s parents never reported the minors missing. Law enforcement visited the home of JJ and Tylee’s mother, Lori Vallow, that November to perform a welfare check on the children. Authorities later located Vallow and her husband, Chad Daybell, in Hawaii, where police finally arrested Vallow in February 2020 — months before investigators found JJ and Tylee’s remains on Daybell’s property. Are Vallow and Daybell responsible for the children’s deaths? Did they have anything to do with the mysterious deaths of Daybell’s first wife, Tammy, and Vallow’s estranged husband, Charles? Stay with us as we remember the victims, JJ and Tylee, and discuss what we know so far about Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell.
