IDAHO CULT LEAVES TRAIL OF DEAD AND MISSING

    There is an ongoing case in Idaho concerning a young woman and a boy who went missing months ago. Joshua Vallow, age 7, and Tylee Ryan, age 17. Joshua is the adopted son of Charles and Lori Vallow and Tylee is daughter of her third husband, Joseph Ryan. Tylee and Joshua were last confirmed alive on September 23rd, 2019---although it was sometime in December before the police got around to issuing an alert. In November, Lori Vallow married Chad Daybell, finally divorcing him after cucking Mr. Vallow for months; and Daybell's wife Tammy had died under mysterious circumstances. 

   All of the principals involved in this case are members of the Mormon Cult, and the LDS Church and the media firm for which Daybell published are basically denying that they know anything about any of this---despite the fact that Daybell was a Mormon for at least 20 years and written quite publicly about Spiritualistic visions and other delusions. He claims that he had visions telling him to move to Idaho and be with Lori (one may suppose that these visions were displayed on discreet Internet chatrooms). Lori Vallow is not much better, as KTVB-7 in Idaho quoted divorce papers filed by Charles Vallow that  "Lori called herself 'God' and said she was assigned to help with Christ's second coming and that if Charles got in the way of her mission she would murder him. In the documents, Charles made several references to Lori threatening him. Including allegedly telling him, 'she could and had an angel there to help her dispose of the body,'" and that "Lori had recently become infatuated and at times obsessive about near death experiences and spiritual visions." During her marriage to Charles Vallow, she once disappeared for two months. 

   Well, cults will be cults; but what is more to the point here is the way that Idaho officials have handled this case. They deem Chad and Lori Daybell as 'persons of interest' but that's about all. This is despite the following circumstances:

   1. In April 2018, Lori's third ex-husband Joseph Ryan and Tylee's father, died of an alleged heart attack.

   2. In July 2019, Lori's fourth ex-husband Charles Vallow and Joshua's father is shot down by Alexander Cox---who is Lori's brother. Cox claimed self-defense: although how he happened to be an ex-felon in possession of a firearm is not explained.

   3. In September 2019, Lori came to Rexburg Elementary School and disenrolled Joshua, saying that he would be homeschooled. That was the last independent sighting of Joshua.

  4. In  October 2019, Brandon Bourdeaux, ex-husband of Lori's niece who divorced her after she converted to the cult was shot at and nearly killed. He was shot at from a vehicle and the surveillance videos show that the license plates were registered to the late Charles Vallow.

  5. Also in October, Tammy Daybell---then Chad Daybell's wife---was shot at as well and made a 911 call.

  6. Two weeks later Tammy Daybell died in Salem, Idaho under unknown circumstances.

  7. In November 2019, The Daybells fled Idaho and went to Hawaii after a Search Warrant was executed at their home in Rexburg, Idaho. This followed a welfare check from Social Workers the week before looking for Tylee and Joshua.

 8. Also in November, police searched a storage unit belonging to Daybell and found Tylee's and Joshua's belongings there.

 9. In December 2019, Alexander Cox---Lori's trigger-happy brother---died. Officials have never released the Cause of Death. Cox was a convicted felon multiple times, mostly for violent crimes.

 Finally, in January of this year, an Idaho Judge issued a warrant at the home the Daybells no longer even lived to produce the children within five days. The couple, now in Hawaii, was notified of this by their attorney, one Sean Bartholick of Rexburg, Idaho. They never responded to the warrant. Idaho Attorney-General Lawrence Wasden---a Mormon himself---has done nothing to enforce the Court Order. In an interview with KTVB-7, former Idaho AG David Leroy stated that under Idaho Law there's not enough probable cause to extradite the Daybells. 

  Sure, there's not enough probable cause. Just because two people think that they're hearing Divine commands and four of their immediate relatives have died suspiciously in a short time and their kids have disappeared and they've fled the state and refuse to cooperate with the police: let's not jump to conclusions everybody. It's similar to what Sam Penrod, a Mormon Church spokesman said when asked about Chad Daybell's standing in the cult. "It is a personal matter that is left to him to discuss if he wishes."  And Daybell's attorney, Mr. Sean Bartholick, Esq, stated: “Chad Daybell was a loving husband and has the support of his children in this matter. Lori (Vallow) Daybell is a devoted mother and resents assertions to the contrary. We look forward to addressing the allegations once they have moved beyond speculation and rumor."

   And finally we have the opinion of Gary Hagen, the Assistant Chief of Police in Rexburg, who told the Rexburg Standard Journal that “No charges are pending. We are working with their prosecutor to determine what can be done right now. Rumors have circulated about the parents’ possible involvement with a cult.There is a ton of speculation and a lot of rumors, but nothing that we have determined of classified as a cult."

  
   Everyone seems to have forgotten that four people are dead; two are missing; and one nearly killed---and all are fighting more to ensure that the sterling reputation of Mormonism is protected at all costs. This isn't surprising considering that 23% of Idaho's population are Mormons; at that Rexburg's population is 95% Mormon. Anybody wonder why nobody at the official level cares much about solving this case? Any wonder why nobody in Rexburg is coming forth with information? Dead men tell no tales when it comes to cults.

  The Mormon Cult holds considerable political power in Idaho as well as in the United States generally. The Cult believes in a one-world government led by themselves, and hence have little objective loyalty to the US Constitution or laws. Though believed to be Conservative, the Cult actually supports homo equality and opposed President Trump on immigration reform. If anything, Mormons are mostly RINOs as the recent election of Mitt Romney to the Utah Senate seat shows. Regardless, however, their ultimate loyalty is to the Cult. 

   Tylee Ryan and Joshua Vallow are probably not alive and likely will never be found unless some outside agency at the Federal level intervenes. Meanwhile, Chad and Lori Daybell bask in the Hawaiian sunshine and pontificate on the End of the World. Sadly, that end has already come for anybody who's gotten in their way.
