In a stunning development to a case that’s drawn international headlines, Kauai police have arrested the mother of two Idaho children missing since September.

Authorities said 46-year-old Lori Vallow, who had been living on Kauai with her husband for several months, was arrested Thursday in Princeville after a warrant was issued in Madison County, Idaho.

She’s being held on $5 million bail and is expected to appear in court Friday for an extradition hearing.

Vallow is charged with with two counts of felony desertion of a child along with misdemeanor charges of resisting and obstructing an officer, solicitation of a crime, and contempt.

Madison County Prosecutor Rob Wood said the complaint filed against Vallow alleges she abandoned her two children and then stymied officers attempts to find them.

Officials, however, did not say whether they believe her children are still alive.

Vallow and her new husband, Chad Daybell, surfaced on Kauai several months after 17-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua “J.J.” Vallow went missing.

Authorities previously said the two haven’t been able to furnish any information on the children’s whereabouts. The couple reportedly left their home in Rexburg, Idaho in November ? three months after the children were last seen ? and moved to Kauai.

Further complicating the story, police are also investigating the deaths of the couple’s former spouses.

According to East Idaho News, Vallow has been married five times. Two of her prior husbands have died, and it’s not clear what happened to the other two.

Court records show Charles Vallow had filed for divorce expressing his concerns over what he called his wife’s doomsday and cult-like beliefs.

Then, in July, Charles Vallow was shot and killed by Lori Vallow’s brother in Arizona.

“It’s one of the most unusual situations I’ve ever heard of in my career in law enforcement,” Kauai Prosecutor Justin Kollar told Hawaii News Now in January.

Authorities are also investigating the death of Daybell’s first wife, Tammy. She was found dead in their home in October. He married Vallow two weeks later.

When kids are killed (and yeah, I'm assuming these kids are dead), a parent/the parents are usually involved.

Killing a 17 year old? I mean - killing any child is fucking demonic, but one that is that close to adulthood seems weird.

This story has progressed so slowly.

I would think when children are missing the authorities would act with more urgency, especially if they have any suspicion that the mother is dangerous.

If she’s not cooperating, I authorize waterboarding.

The brother killed a previous husband.

Cult like beliefs.

Yeah, I kind of don't get why it took so long.  Normally when there are children missing you have the amber alerts all over the place and it seems everyone is trying to find the missing children or child.

But not in this case.   You would think that if the children had not been seen for a while all kinds of flags would have been raised and a sense of urgency to find them would have been in place.

they were supposedly trying to do some surveillance on them to see if they would lead them to the kids, according to the Dateline deal that aired on it.  I think they were making the probably erroneous assumption that the kids were still alive though.  Fuckin bitch

She never reported them missing. The alarm was raised when relatives couldnt contact the kids and mom fed them a line of BS about their whereabouts.

We've had a long running case here in WA where a young Russian mother claims she left her toddler son in the car on the side of the highway when she ran out of gas. When she returned he was gone. Problem with the story is when she returned to her car, there was a police car there, she had no gas can, and the car still had gas and was driveable.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Sky_Metalwala

Since then she has refused to talk to police at all whatsoever, not even to give them any information that would help find the child. Police have basically left her alone while the estranged dad has fully cooperated and given them everything he can.

I don't understand why that isn't reasonable suspicion to arrest. Your kids are missing, your story is obviously bunk, and you refuse to talk to the police or any investigator at all whatsoever.

At least in this case it looks like the police are plowing through the BS and moving forward

This story is crazy, I just started reading about it today.



Lori Vallow is frisked next to a patrol car as she is arrested in Kauai, Hawaii, on Thursday on charges relating to the disappearance of her two children



As officers prepared to take Vallow away in a patrol her, her Doomsday author husband Chad Daybell (right) watched helplessly





Lori's arrest comes two days after she and her husband Chad (pictured on Tuesday at the Kahului Airport) were seen returning to the island of Kauai after their two-day trip in Maui

this whole story is completely messed up.

kids are disappeared and I'm sure deaded.

Lori Daybell's ex husband was killed by her brother in a shootout. The ex husband that claimed Lori had gone nuts and the kids were in danger.

Then Chad Daybell's wife winds up dead.  Assumed natural causes,  but she's now been exhumed for further investigation.

Then Lori and Chad get married a MONTH after Chad's previous wife is deaded.

then Lori's brother, remember the one who killed Lori's ex husband?

now ALSO dead of "unspecified circumstances"

it's a shitshow.  I feel bad for the kids.  feels like these two whackjobs killed their spouses, dumped the kids then cleaned up the mess by killing the brother then bounced to hawaii for vacation.

Nuts

Only part you appear wrong on is the kids... they're dead. A 17 year old doesn't just go missing unless you've killed them in these circumstances.

From today's article:

The arrest warrant is for a failure to comply with a court order to produce JJ and Tylee last month in Idaho. She's also been charged with desertion and nonsupport of dependent children, resisting or obstructing officers, criminal solicitation to commit a crime, and contempt of court.

Madison County Prosecuting Attorney, Rob Wood, said in a statement that the complaint filed by the prosecutor's office alleges that Lori 'abandoned her two minor children, delayed law enforcement's attempts to locate her children'.

The maximum sentence on each count of desertion of a child in Idaho is 14 years in prison.

Heard about this on Dateline last week.

I'm okay with them staying in jail until they can produce the children alive, or admit to their murders.

If the children are alive and found, hope the states have enough evidence to convict on the murdered spouses.

In normal cases of missing children, one or both parents immediately contact the police and fully cooperate so that they can spend more time trying to find the missing kids. This wasn't the case here. Especially if one parent is uncooperative and seems to be totally unconcerned about her kids and the other is a stepfather who also has a suspicious past. Plus, who actually did report the kids as missing? Certainly not the mother and the father was murdered. Another thing, what is this about a death/doomsday cult? Where are they located, who is their leader??? COuld be that the police suspect that the kids have been kidnapped by the cult and they are quietly trying to locate the cult to get a warrant to search for the kids?? In any event, this isn't a normal situation where and Amber Alert would have been instituted immediately and we don't know all the details that the police do.
