What Happened to Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell?
Tylee Ryan and Joshua "J.J." Vallow were two American children from Chandler, Arizona who disappeared in September 2019 and were later found buried in shallow graves in Rexburg, Idaho on June 9, 2020. Tylee was last seen alive at Yellowstone National Park on September 8, 2019, while J.J. was last seen at Rexburg's Kennedy Elementary School on September 22, 2019.
Their mother, Lori Vallow Daybell, and her new husband, Chad Guy Daybell, were questioned about the children's whereabouts and welfare in November 2019. They claimed that J.J. was staying with a family friend in Arizona, which was later found to be untrue, and police efforts to locate J.J. led to the discovery that Tylee was also missing.
The investigation into the children's disappearance was complicated by a series of suspicious deaths, including the shooting death of Lori's estranged fourth husband, Charles Vallow, in July 2019 by Lori's brother, Alexander Cox, who claimed self-defense.
Cox died of a blood clot in December 2019. In October 2019, Brandon Boudreaux, the then-estranged husband of Lori's niece, Melani, was shot at in the driveway of his Arizona home from a vehicle still registered to Charles Vallow. Tammy Daybell, Chad's wife, was also attacked in her driveway in October 2019 and died in her sleep shortly after, with the initial cause of death being recorded as "natural causes."
After Chad and Lori's marriage two weeks after Tammy's death, law enforcement became suspicious and exhumed Tammy's corpse for autopsy, which revealed she had been asphyxiated by someone else.Lori was arrested in Kauai, Hawaii on February 20, 2020, and charged with desertion and nonsupport of her dependent children. She was extradited to Idaho in March 2020.
On June 9, 2020, police discovered the remains of J.J. and Tylee buried in Chad's backyard and arrested him on charges of destruction or concealment of evidence.On May 25, 2021, Lori and Chad were charged with the first-degree murders of Tylee, J.J., and Tammy. On May 12, 2023, Lori was found guilty of all charges related to the killing of her children.
How Did Lori Vallow Kill Tylee and JJ?

This means that JJ was killed by someone else and that his death was not accidental or natural. However, due to the condition of Tylee Ryan's remains, a specific cause of death could not be determined during the initial autopsy.
After a week-long autopsy, the manner of Tylee's death was classified as a homicide, indicating that she was also killed by someone else.
