I have written a lot about the ongoing investigation into Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow. Lori is currently sitting in an Idaho jail facing charges of felony child abandonment and desertion of two of her children, 7-year-old JJ and 17-year-old Tylee, who have not been seen since September 2019 despite pleas from concerned family members and a court order demanding Lori produce them.
