Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow are two religious fanatics that were involved in a number of shenanagins. Chad was married to a woman, Tammy, with whom he had five children. He was a grave digger and author by occupation, but then decided to open his own publishing company as well. He claimed he received visions from God and dead relatives, and also had near death experiences. His wife died under mysterious circumstances, and her body has since been exhumed and he has charges pending for that. Lori Vallow was married five times in total. (Nelson, ended in divorce. William, with who she had her son Colby, ended in divorce. Joe, who she had Tylee with, ended in divorce and he later died. Charles, who was murdered by her brother Alex and with who she adopted JJ. And Chad.) She got into some wild religious stuff with Chad Daybell, believing that they were part of the chosen and would start a new society. People that were not chosen were "dark spirits" or "zombies" and needed to be eliminated. Chad convinced her that Tylee and JJ were dark spirits. Lori's brother Alex is believed to have been the one that did the killing for them, but he died before any charges could be brought or he could be questioned. I also firmly believe they had a really gross, weird relationship with each other.

I remember seeing Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow all over the news. I also remember seeing their mother having a grand old time in Hawaii with her gross cult leader husband while her children were missing. I remember seeing that and thinking those kids were NOT missing and she knew exactly where they were, which is why she wasn't concerned in the least about their disappearance, and I was quite sure they were not alive. If there were ever two people that should be shanked in the shower in prison, it is these two. I watched the documentary on Netflix and then bought this book the same day. It has a lot more information than the documentary had, but there is no firm conclusion as both of these miscreants are still awaiting trial. I hope that justice is served for these two kids and everyone else that these two have damaged.
