is intended for mature audiences
0:16
. When
0:20
Alice jumped down the rabbit hole , she
0:22
immediately regretted her decision . A
0:25
rabbit hole is a metaphor for something
0:27
that transports someone into a
0:29
troubling , surreal state or situation
0:32
. Welcome to Afterglow
0:34
, the unveiling of the Idaho Colt
0:36
. This podcast will take
0:38
you down the deepest of rabbit holes . As it unfolds
0:40
, the story is so compelling , so
0:43
bizarre and so heinous . It's impossible
0:46
to look the other way . Chad
0:48
Daybell and Lori Vallow were dedicated , in the
0:50
most horrible way , to an ideology
0:53
that should only be fiction . Instead
0:56
, their ideology put them behind
0:58
bars . Join
1:02
us as we explore the lives , lies
1:04
and diabolical crimes of Lori
1:06
Vallow and Chad Daybell . I'm
1:08

. Hello
1:15
and welcome back . Thank you for being patient
1:18
with me . I know it's been a couple weeks . Today
1:20
this will be the final episode of season
1:22
two . I'm going to take the rest
1:25
of the summer to finish
1:27
my travels and get
1:29
my life in order and
1:31
other things that have going on , so we
1:34
will come back with season three
1:36
. Probably I'm going
1:38
to say the beginning of October
1:40
. You should get an episode dropped
1:43
by then . I know a lot of things
1:45
are going on in real time
1:47
still , and I hope to catch up
1:49
with real time . This case is going
1:51
on and on and on , so I think we will get
1:53
there . Chad Daybell
1:56
still needs to go to trial and
1:58
, of course , lori Vallow is going to be sentenced
2:00
. So I'm just going to try to keep
2:02
things in chronological order so everybody
2:05
can get the whole story the best we can tell
2:07
it . So today this
2:09
is episode 19
2:11
of season two , losing
2:14
Hope . Before I begin , I want to thank you
2:16
all . I've gotten some really nice , generous
2:18
donations to my PayPal
2:20
and buy me a coffee and , believe
2:22
me , they are helping me keep the
2:24
show going . So the
2:27
small amount that I get is
2:29

2:31
and everything that I need in order to produce
2:34
the show , so I really appreciate
2:36
you . Thank you very much , everyone
2:39
and anyone that has donated . I really appreciate
2:41

2:49
and I hope I've gotten everybody back
2:51
. I hope I've responded
2:54
to everybody that has donated and
2:56
again , no donations too small . So
3:00
today I want to get
3:02
into a little bit more of
3:05
what was going on behind
3:07
the scenes as things were unfolding
3:10
, the kids still had not been found
3:12
. Jj and Tiley had not been
3:15
found . People were still hopeful
3:17
that they would be found alive , but
3:20
you get the sense that people were
3:22
really losing hope . So
3:25
today I want to go over two
3:27
additional interviews that were
3:29
done with the Chandler
3:31
Police Department regarding
3:33
this case . So
3:36
you remember the last time we heard from
3:38
Nicole , serena , christina
3:41
, and there
3:43
will be some more of that because
3:45
they were interviewed again . There's
3:48
an interview that I wanted to go over and I've
3:50
only been able to find the actual
3:53
written document
3:55
from the police detective in Chandler
3:57
. I can't find the recording
3:59
, even though he says he recorded it . I have not
4:01
been able to find that anywhere . So
4:04
if I find it , we'll play it eventually , but
4:07
I haven't been able to find it on any of the news sources
4:09
or anything that have been released in these
4:11
audios . So this
4:13
is an interview . Apparently , charles
4:16
Vallow went on a date
4:18
with a woman by
4:20
the name of Nancy Jo and
4:22
this was the night before
4:25
he was murdered . He went
4:27
on a date with this woman on July
4:29
10 , 2019 . They
4:34
interviewed her on April 22
4:36
, 2020 at 2.45
4:39
pm . It says I
4:41
spoke with Nancy Jo , redacted
4:44
her last name . Nancy Jo had
4:46
gone on a date with Charles Vallow on
4:49
7.10.19
4:51
, the night before he was shot and
4:53
killed . Nancy Jo had
4:55
been given my information by Kay
4:57
Woodcock . I
4:59
had briefly spoken to Nancy
5:01
Jo about a month prior , but
5:03
at that time she was not sure if
5:05
she wanted to be involved in this investigation
5:08
. My interview with Nancy
5:10
Jo was recorded on my digital voice
5:12
recorder and will be preserved
5:14
as evidence in this case . The
5:16
following is a synopsis of my
5:18
interview with Nancy Jo . Nancy
5:31
Jo said she had met Charles at the
5:33
Keg Restaurant near the San
5:35
Tan Mall on July
5:37
10 , 2019 . Nancy
5:40
Jo explained she met Charles through
5:42
an LDS dating site in
5:45
early July and they chatted online
5:47
until they went out on July 10
5:49
. Nancy said she and
5:51
Charles spoke via telephone and text
5:54
messages . After exchanging phone
5:56
numbers , nancy said Charles was
5:58
a very upbeat person . Nancy
6:00
Jo said Charles told her about his split
6:02
with his wife and Nancy Jo also
6:05
said that Charles told her that Lori had
6:07
disappeared for a few months , cancelled
6:09
his flights , taken his truck , changed
6:12
his door locks and also drained his
6:14
bank account . Nancy
6:17
Jo explained that Charles told her that
6:19
Lori stated she was preparing for
6:21
the Second Coming of Christ , which
6:23
was supposed to happen in July . Nancy
6:26
Jo said Charles told her Lori
6:28
said she had angels that would help
6:31
her kill him if he
6:33
got in her way . Nancy
6:35
Jo said Charles said Lori believed she
6:37
could teleport to other places
6:39
through a portal in her closet . Nancy
6:42
said Charles told her Lori believed she was
6:44
sealed to Moroni in
6:46
another life and she lived other
6:48
lives , including notable people in
6:50
history . Remember
6:53
Moroni is the Mormon angel , moroni
6:55
that's at the top of the temples . I
6:58
asked Nancy Jo if Charles said anything
7:00
about how things were going between him and
7:03
Lori at that time . Nancy
7:05
Jo said Charles was concerned with JJ
7:07
being involved in Lori's craziness . Nancy
7:10
Jo said Charles told him about Lori's
7:12
teenage daughter , tylee , and
7:14
how she was rebellious against Lori
7:16
but was very close to JJ . I
7:20
asked Nancy Jo if Charles said why he
7:22
was in town and she said he was in
7:24
town to see JJ . Nancy
7:26
Jo said Charles was going to take JJ to school
7:28
the next morning . Nancy said Charles
7:30
told her Lori was writing an email from
7:33
him to other people pretending to be Charles
7:35
. Nancy explained that
7:37
Charles discovered the emails and was speaking
7:39
to Lori's brother , adam , about this . Nancy
7:42
Jo said Adam had come to town
7:45
at the same time but
7:47
she was unsure where
7:49
from . Nancy Jo
7:52
said Charles and Adam were supposed to meet
7:54
on July 11th 2019 after
7:56
Charles dropped JJ off at school
7:58
to discuss how to confront Lori
8:00
about her beliefs that she was a god
8:03
and here to usher in the second
8:05
coming of Christ . Nancy
8:08
Jo said Charles and Adam wanted to get Lori
8:10
help for those behaviors . Nancy
8:16
said she and Charles finished dinner at
8:18
about 2200 hours 10pm
8:20
and text until about 2300
8:23
to 11 . Nancy said
8:25
she sent Charles a text in the morning but she never
8:27
heard back from him . Nancy Jo talked
8:29
about their date and their conversation
8:31
during it . I asked Nancy Jo
8:33
if there was anything she thought I
8:36
should know about her interactions with
8:38
Charles . Nancy Jo said Charles
8:40
still had JJ's service dog in Texas
8:43
and Charles was concerned that Bailey
8:45
, the service dog , was not with
8:47
JJ . Nancy Jo
8:49
said it was hard to believe from what she
8:51
knew and saw in the media that
8:53
if Charles struck Alex with a bat
8:56
, that he would not have injured him more
8:58
. Nancy Jo said Charles was
9:00
in very good condition and took good
9:02
care of himself . I
9:05
asked Nancy Jo if Charles ever mentioned Lori's
9:07
brother , alex , and she said that he had
9:09
. Nancy Jo said Charles described
9:12
Lori and Alex's relationship
9:14
as strange and added that Lori
9:16
had weird control or power
9:18
over him . I asked Nancy
9:21
Jo if Charles said anything to her about
9:23
his relationship with Alex , and
9:25
she said they had a fine relationship
9:27
but it became a little strained since
9:29
they were getting divorced . Nancy
9:32
Jo added that Charles believed Lori
9:34
was having an affair with a Doomsday writer
9:37
and added that he had found where
9:39
Lori had emailed videos of her
9:41
dancing to the writer , who she
9:43
later named as Chad . I
9:45
asked Nancy Jo if Charles ever
9:47
mentioned Chad's name to her or if she
9:49
learned it from media , and she said
9:51
she was not sure . Nancy
9:54
Jo said Charles was not happy about the email
9:56
he had found that was authored under
9:58
his name but not by him
10:00
, to the author . Nancy
10:03
Jo added that Charles did not like
10:05
who Lori had become since she started
10:07
interacting with the author . Nancy
10:10
Jo said since seeing the media coverage
10:12
on this case , it was clear Charles
10:15
was talking about a person who fits Chad's
10:17
description . Nancy Jo said
10:19
Charles only wanted Lori to get some help
10:21
so she could be there for JJ . Nancy
10:24
Jo said Charles seemed to be very patient with Lori
10:26
in light of what had been going on . I
10:29
asked Nancy Jo if Charles ever mentioned
10:31
his life insurance policy and
10:33
she said that he did . Nancy
10:35
Jo said Charles told her he had changed
10:38
his beneficiary on the policy . Nancy
10:41
Jo said she joked with Charles
10:43
that he should let Lori know that
10:45
he changed it so she did not kill him
10:47
for the life insurance policy . Nancy
10:49
Jo said in hindsight that was not a funny joke
10:52
. Nancy Jo and I talked about
10:54
how excited Charles was to go see JJ
10:56
and spend time with him . Nancy
10:59
Jo spoke for a while about how kind
11:01
and happy Charles was in their interactions . Nancy
11:04
Jo said Charles never once spoke harshly against
11:06
Lori , even after all she had done . I
11:09
asked Nancy Jo if Charles said if he
11:11
had ever tried to reach out to Chad
11:13
and she said she could not remember for
11:15
sure if he had . Nancy
11:17
Jo said Charles felt there was an
11:19
inappropriate relationship with each
11:21
other . Nancy Jo said she
11:24
still had the text messages between her
11:26
and Charles and she would go through them
11:28
to see if there was anything that was important
11:30
to this case . She would forward them
11:32
to me . I then provided Nancy
11:35
Jo with my contact information and
11:37
I then concluded my interview with Nancy
11:39
Jo what
11:43
a great guy Really
11:46
, I mean on a
11:48
date talking about how he wants
11:50
to help and what his main focus
11:52
is is JJ . He's worried
11:55
that Lori's lost his mind interacting
11:57
with this author , chad , and
11:59
all he did , even
12:01
knowing he probably wasn't
12:03
going to save his marriage all he did was
12:06
try to help her , and
12:09
everybody failed him . On
12:14
the same day , april 22nd
12:16
2020 , the detective
12:18
received a voicemail from Christina Christina
12:21
remember we already had her one interview , christina
12:24
requesting I call her . So
12:27
on April 23rd 2020
12:29
, at 9 30 in the morning , I called
12:31
Christina back . My conversation
12:33
with Christina was recorded on my digital
12:36
voice recorder and will
12:38
be preserved as evidence in this case . So
12:42
April 23rd 2020 . This
12:44
is the interview that he
12:47
had with her over the phone . Christina
12:49
had called him and requested another
12:52
call back , so I
12:54
will play that now .
12:57
Today is Thursday , april 23rd
12:59
2020 , at
13:01
9 30 at 9 30 at 8 hours
13:03
. Detective Moffitt calling Christina
13:06
in regards to case number 19-83744
13:09
. She
13:14
left a voicemail for me yesterday saying she
13:16
had something to add . She
13:28
left a voicemail for me yesterday saying she
13:30
had something to add .
13:35
Good morning . This is Christina
13:37
.
13:46
Hi Christina , Detective Mafo with the channel PD , how
13:48
are you ?
13:50
I'm fine , thank you .
13:52
Hey , I was calling . I got a voicemail from you
13:54
saying you thought of something else you wanted to add . What's
13:56
going on ?
13:59
The day that I was talking about . The last time I seen Lori
14:01
that I went out to is there wasn't just about her brother . I remember
14:04
that she had made a comment
14:06
about crushing up some
14:08
of her sons what's
14:13
it called ? It
14:15
sounded like both her husband and her son
14:17
took it and
14:20
started to actually , I think , make
14:28
a comment .
14:29
Yeah , you know what , oh
14:32
dear , who told me that
14:34
? I can't remember
14:36
. If it was , I
14:38
think it was Nicole
14:41
. Did you know any ? Yeah , no , nicole
14:43
said hey , yeah , because she said I was there
14:45
. She said Christina and I were there . She
14:48
said , and that was . She
14:50
couldn't remember the medication , but she said that she told
14:52
both of you guys and that was when
14:54
they were back in Texas , right ?
14:57
Yes , so when I went back over
15:00
I just said look , I don't know
15:03
what's going on with you , but anyway
15:05
, my one thing was the way that her brother
15:07
talked about realizing . Also , she made a comment about
15:09
putting some Xanax
15:12
in his drink
15:14
mix , like his protein milk
15:16
, like shake or something that he was
15:18
taking .
15:19
Okay .
15:20
And so I said Lori , are you serious
15:22
? Did you actually do that ? She's like well , I could only put
15:24
like maybe one or two because it's obvious
15:26
. But I just he's so hyper
15:29
and so on top of me and she's
15:31
like I was just being a smart aleck
15:33
and it's really not a big deal , and he
15:36
takes it all the time anyway .
15:38
Gotcha .
15:39
So I don't know , because she kind of backpedaled on
15:41
it , if you really did take it to
15:44
like I don't know , but it sounded like
15:46
both he and JJ took Xanax
15:48
.
15:48
Okay , good , that's perfect
15:50
. I was trying to . I forgot to follow
15:53
up with you on that .
15:55
Yeah , so that
15:57
was all I remember from that surprise . I did that
15:59
day , but Not a problem , I remember
16:01
a couple hours after you left .
16:02
Yeah , so it just happened upon your doorstep
16:04
and it was random and out of the blue
16:06
, so not a problem , but I appreciate you calling and following
16:08
up with me .
16:10
No problem , I appreciate you , the
16:12
work you're doing .
16:12
Thank you , ma'am All right , see ya . Bye
16:15
, bye .
16:21
So Lori was actually
16:24
putting Xanax in
16:26
Charles's protein drinks . I
16:30
think Lori starts to backpedal when people start
16:32
to question her , but I have no doubt
16:35
in my mind and my judgmental
16:37
mind over Lori Vallow DeVal that
16:39
she actually did that . There's
16:42
a lot of things that Lori told people and
16:46
Lori told her
16:48
friends , things that came out and I
16:50
heard through the rumor mills and
16:52
through people that know people
16:54
, and those things
16:56
that I was told have never come
16:58
out in any of these recordings . So
17:01
a lot of them say well , lori was just
17:03
like that , lori's Lori . Maybe Lori
17:05
made it up . We don't know if we really believe
17:07
Lori . So was Lori a liar to all
17:09
her friends all along where they wouldn't necessarily
17:12
believe all her shenanigans
17:14
? For example , I
17:16
know I wrote this up before Lori
17:19
told one of her friends that
17:22
she went into Joe Ryan's apartment
17:24
and took his valuables when he was
17:27
dead . Now this has never
17:29
come out , except for it was told
17:31
to me through somebody that knows Lori very
17:33
well and then
17:35
never repeated out there
17:37
. So who knows with Lori
17:40
? But that was the same reaction . These
17:42
people also said well , lori's Lori
17:44
. You never know with Lori , like Lori
17:47
could be just telling a big fib . So was
17:49
Lori a fibber all along . Was there things that
17:51
she said that you always had to take with the green assault
17:53
I have so many questions about
17:55
that and that people just went on with their day
17:58
? But Lori's just going on with her day and
18:00
everybody's going on with their day and been like Lori's Lori
18:02
, even though she told people I put Xanax
18:04
in my husband's protein
18:07
drink . I went into my dead ex-husband's
18:09
house , took his valuables before
18:11
the police found him . I mean , there's
18:14
a lot of little weird things like that that just
18:16
blow my mind . When it comes to Lori
18:18
and the people that were close
18:20
to her and how hush-hush they were and
18:22
how they should have
18:24
all at least come forward
18:27
to each other and been like whoa , wait a
18:29
minute especially makes me
18:31
so mad because Charles tried so hard for help
18:33
. On the next day
18:35
, which is April 24th 2020
18:38
, melanie Boudreaux actually
18:42
makes a post at 5.52
18:44
pm and apparently it was
18:46
her 31st birthday , and
18:49
she writes on Facebook . Today
18:51
is my 31st birthday and I couldn't let
18:54
the day pass without sending out love and gratitude
18:56
to every single person I know . I
18:58
don't know if I could ever top last year's
19:00
birthday of being able to serve in the temple
19:02
doing 30 ordinances and then
19:05
spending the day with my children . I
19:07
don't have that luxury this year , but
19:09
I am grateful for so much still . This
19:12
last year my world has turned upside
19:14
down as family and friends turn
19:16
their backs on me when things
19:19
in the media got confusing . I've
19:22
been falsely accused of many things
19:24
, wrongfully judged , betrayed
19:27
by those who I thought loved
19:29
and supported me , and wrongfully
19:32
gone to Utah County jail
19:34
for a few hours . Worst of
19:36
all , my four beautiful children
19:38
have unjustly been kept
19:40
for me since October . I
19:43
hold no faults , as fears and
19:45
doubts have been spread by those trying to hurt
19:47
me , while I also was
19:49
unjustly taken away from my mother at
19:51
age six and told all manner
19:54
of lies about her . I stand
19:56
here today , grateful , knowing
19:58
about her . I stand
20:01
here today grateful , knowing that no one
20:03
and no lie can take
20:05
me away from the bond of my mother
20:07
, who has laid to rest
20:09
since I was nine . It
20:11
has been a hard lesson to learn that I
20:13
could not put faith in the court systems
20:16
, authorities or most people
20:18
. The Lord has been on my side
20:20
and he has strengthened me through all of this
20:22
. No one can take away the peace
20:24
and truth that he brings , and
20:26
by this . I know that my children
20:29
will always know in their hearts
20:31
who their mother is and that I
20:33
will be reunited with them . I
20:35
hope they , like
20:37
I , can learn how to forgive and
20:40
love all those who have hurt us . This
20:43
is only possible through
20:45
the Savior's atonement . His love
20:47
is more powerful than anything . This
20:50
took me a while to learn to forgive my own father
20:52
, but I have nothing but love and gratitude
20:54
in my heart this day and for
20:56
the many who have betrayed
20:59
me . Even though restitution
21:01
has not been made , I've
21:03
learned to endure with patience and
21:06
to wait upon the Lord , as I know he
21:08
will reconcile all things . Each
21:11
day is another day of experience and
21:13
growth , and I will continue every
21:16
single day trying to love and serve those
21:18
around me , as that has brought
21:20
me more joy than anything
21:22
in this world could bring . When
21:25
you dedicate your life to serving the Lord and
21:27
accept his will rather
21:30
than your own , it certainly doesn't always
21:32
mean things get easier , as I've learned
21:34
. I'm so grateful for the scriptures
21:37
that account for so many who went
21:39
through difficult times , even when they
21:41
tried to live righteously . This
21:43
has strengthened my faith in him , and
21:45
I've witnessed him pouring out
21:47
blessings . Things are tough right
21:49
now , with the world at a standstill , but
21:52
don't ever give up . Don't ever
21:54
hold a grudge . Don't take for granted
21:56
the people in your life , whether they are good to
21:58
you or not . There
22:01
is so much to learn from them . Everyone
22:03
will stand accountable at the judgment
22:05
bar of God one day . And I
22:08
know who I am . The
22:10
few in my life that has stood by me , no matter
22:12
what , also know who I am , my
22:14
children being included . I have
22:16
learned to find joy in any circumstance
22:19
, even among some of the darkest days , while
22:21
being separated from my children , being
22:24
unsupported by my own parents
22:26
and while having so many untrue
22:28
things said about me . Truth is truth
22:30
and I do not care about the opinions , gossiping
22:33
or accusations of men or news sources
22:35
. The last few years , I've learned how to
22:37
forgive all things and love even
22:39
my enemies . But while on
22:41
a run today , I felt overwhelmingly
22:43
feeling of gratitude for all
22:46
this opposition and for those
22:48
who have hurt me , and this was something
22:50
I haven't been able to feel yet . What
22:52
a beautiful gift from God on this day
22:54
. All of this has had
22:57
purpose and helped me to become
22:59
the person I am today . So
23:01
use this day to show love towards
23:03
someone who maybe has hurt you
23:05
, someone you just haven't been able
23:07
to forgive yet for things they've
23:09
done to you , and look for the gratitude
23:12
and blessings from it . There is freedom
23:14
in this and so much peace
23:16
. I am sure there will be many on my
23:18
Facebook that no longer wish to hear
23:20
from me , and that is perfectly okay . You're
23:22
welcome to delete me now , but I've reactivated
23:25
my page . I will respond to any
23:27
messages of love . I
23:29
will not see any negative posts on here
23:32
, as I'll have a family member
23:34
monitoring this post . I'm
23:36
only here to send out love . Have an amazing
23:38
day . And to you , braxton
23:40
, brighton , blake and Breeze , I
23:43
celebrate you today for how much
23:45
love I have for you . So
23:50
on April 25th , justin Lum , an investigative
23:53
reporter from Fox 10 Phoenix
23:55
he has been a great source
23:57
in this whole thing , but he posted
23:59
that on his Facebook page
24:02
and he says Melanie
24:04
turns to Facebook . Lori Balows-Nease turned
24:06
31 . On Friday , melanie Pulaski
24:09
re-activated her Facebook profile
24:11
and , still using Baudrill as her last
24:13
name , in the post , she talks about being
24:15
grateful despite her world turning upside down
24:17
as family and friends turned their backs
24:19
on her . She says she has been falsely
24:22
accused of many things . She mentions
24:24
going to Utah County Jail for a few hours
24:26
, but it was wrongful . Pulaski
24:28
says her four kids have been unjustly
24:31
kept from her since October . At
24:33
the end of the post , she sends love to her children . Right
24:36
now she is in a custody battle with her ex-husband
24:38
, brandon Boudreau . The last resolution
24:40
management conference was postponed . Gilbert
24:43
police are still investigating the attempt on
24:45
Brandon's life , a shooting on October 2nd
24:47
outside his home . Investigators
24:49
say Brandon's all-rifle with a silencer come
24:51
out of the rear window of a 2018
24:53
Wrangler Jeep a Jeep with Texas license
24:56
plate registered to Charles Vallow , lori's
24:58
former husband . And
25:00
then he recaps saying Charles was shot and killed
25:03
by her brother , alex , last July in Chandler
25:05
Court . Documents say that Brandon believed
25:07
Melanie his wife at the time , had a million
25:09
dollars of reasons to have him killed
25:11
, hoping to cash in on the policy to help
25:13
support the cult that she
25:15
is believed to be part of . Then
25:18
it goes on to say you know , alex Cox died
25:21
on December 12th and his death is still under investigation
25:23
. At that time , the turnies for
25:25
Melanie Pulaski have said she has worked with the FBI
25:28
and given up her electronic devices . As
25:30
the search for JJ Vallow and Tylee
25:32
Ryan , lori's missing children
25:34
, continues , she denies knowing
25:36
their whereabouts , despite being
25:38
accused of having information , I
25:49
still can't believe how much she's still
25:51
under the radar and all this stuff . I
25:53
mean , I don't know if you know what happened at the
25:55
trial and we'll get to that eventually but
25:57
she literally purposely wound
26:01
up at the trial not testifying
26:03
because she sabotaged
26:05
it . She broke the rules
26:08
and the law so she wouldn't have to
26:10
testify against Lori . She said
26:12
yep , I've been watching it on TV , yep , I
26:14
know what's going on in the trial , yep , and
26:17
they had to let her go and not testify . Thankfully
26:20
, they didn't need her , but she
26:22
is a scammer . I will say that from
26:24
now until the day all
26:26
this ends . She is a little
26:29
manipulator , in my honest
26:31
opinion . On
26:34
May 2nd 2020
26:36
, tammy DeBell's matter
26:39
of death was changed from natural
26:41
to undetermined . It's noted
26:43
in the police FOIA documents . As of
26:45
May 2nd 2020 , I learned of
26:47
Tammy DeBell's autopsy results and
26:49
that her manner of death would be changed from
26:51
natural to undetermined . The
26:54
medical examiners from Utah and
26:56
Arizona agreed to maintain
26:58
contact and the event additional tests
27:00
could be identified to further
27:02
test the biological samples . So
27:05
everybody's getting real wise here . You
27:08
know Lori's locked up . She's
27:10
looking , things are looking more and more suspicious
27:12
. And
27:14
then we'll wrap today's Up and
27:17
the End of Season 2 up with
27:19
this Arizona Family
27:21
News Report where
27:24
Kay and Larry have a few things to say
27:26
about the disappearance
27:28
of JJ and Tylie and
27:31
the side of the family Lori's
27:33
side of the family . Let's listen now
27:35
.
27:36
Dennis Cox and Summer Shiflett
27:39
levied some pretty harsh accusations
27:41
against Charles Vallow and his
27:43
family , and so for that
27:46
part of the story , we're going to go to Kim
27:48
Powell with reaction from
27:50
them .
27:51
JJ's grandparents were pretty upset that
27:54
, after all this time , lori Vallow's
27:56
family is now speaking up
27:58
. But as for the allegations that Kay
28:00
was sending threatening emails to
28:02
Lori , well , we have a copy of those
28:04
emails and you can decide for yourself . On
28:07
August 10th , the month after Charles
28:09
Vallow was killed at Lori Vallow's Chandler
28:11
home in a so-called self-defense shooting
28:14
, kay Woodcock , his sister , sent
28:16
this email to Lori thanking
28:18
her for letting them speak to JJ over
28:20
FaceTime . She goes on to offer
28:23
flying to Phoenix to spend time with
28:25
JJ , maybe a trip to the zoo or
28:27
an arcade . Kay never
28:29
heard back . Fifteen days later
28:31
she sent another short email
28:33
saying I'll do anything in order
28:35
to see him .
28:37
I was trying to keep reaching out to her reaching
28:39
out to her .
28:39
Reaching out to her . Please let me talk
28:41
to JJ . Let us see JJ .
28:44
Whatever it takes , let us
28:46
see him .
28:47
On September 18th , desperation
28:49
was growing . By now Lori
28:51
, along with JJ and Tyle , moved
28:53
to Rexburg , idaho . Kay asked
28:56
to see him for a weekend . She
28:58
ends her email with Lori . What
29:00
are you thinking ? Are you even thinking
29:02
? And on October 14th , a
29:05
final email is sent saying no
29:07
need to cut him out of our lives . This
29:09
situation can be managed civilly , signed
29:12
with please tell him we love him
29:14
.
29:14
She should have been worried more about being
29:17
threatened by the police , because I
29:20
know in every email I
29:22
sent I think I got ugly one
29:24
or two times in those emails after
29:26
a little while I come on
29:28
. This is enough .
29:30
You stop and let's we
29:32
need to see JJ . Lori's family
29:34
also claims that they heard JJ
29:36
on a phone call on October 1st
29:39
, entirely in late September
29:41
, slightly off from the timeline that
29:43
police have Law enforcement
29:45
is who I believe , the FBI
29:47
is who I believe , rexburg Police
29:49
Department is who I believe .
29:51
As far as what Summer
29:54
and Janice said , totally
29:57
, totally irrelevant . It
29:59
brings absolutely nothing to this case
30:02
.
30:02
Kay and Larry say they haven't heard from Lori's
30:04
side of the family throughout the investigation
30:07
and wonder why now
30:09
you want to do something .
30:11
Call us . Let's sit down
30:13
. Let's have a meeting . Let's
30:16
figure out where those kids are . Let's
30:18
be adults . Let's be a yeah
30:20
, Please .
30:22
The one question that Kay and Larry want answered is
30:24
simple when are JJ and Tylee
30:26
? They hope that Lori's family puts
30:28
pressure on her so they can put an end
30:30
to all of this . Kim Powell for Arizona's
30:33
family .
30:35
So you can see everybody's
30:37
getting really frustrated
30:40
. At this point , it's
30:42
May of 2020 . The
30:44
kids have been missing since September
30:47
. It's getting scary , it's
30:50
getting frustrating
30:52
. Kay and Larry are
30:54
advocating for help and
30:57
Lori's family hasn't
30:59
even reached out to them . There's
31:03
still two sides at this point . There's
31:06
we stand by Lori's side , lori's parents
31:08
, lori's sister , and
31:11
there's what do you think ? And Lori
31:13
, where are the kids ? By
31:15
Kay and Larry . So we're
31:17
going to wrap up season two , episode
31:20
19 . I will come back with season
31:22
three About the
31:24
first of October . It's not that far away , I promise
31:26

31:31
can get going and I can be popping
31:33
these out weekly when we get
31:35

31:37
around and visit us on

Left Undone incomplete investigations
31:41
on YouTube . I will still be popping
31:44
on there . I have a
31:46
live stream this
31:48
weekend . I probably will be taking a little
31:50
break from Left Undone , but there's hundreds and hundreds
31:52
and hundreds of videos on
31:54
Left Undone that you can go back and watch
31:56
and I will be
31:58
going on my vacation in just a few weeks
32:00

32:03
