The investigation into the disappearance of Joshua Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 17, has grown to include the mysterious deaths of former spouses, rumours of doomsday cult-like beliefs and a sudden move to Hawaii.
Key points:Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell got married after both of their spouses diedSeven-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow and his 17-year-old sister Tylee Ryan had not been seen in far too long, and their mother would not give a straight answer about where they were.
In a field near his house, the FBI and local authorities erected canopies, draped blue tarps on the ground and brought in heavy equipment to dig.Officials are yet to confirm the bodies are those of Joshua Vallow, left, and Tylee Ryan. Her lawyer said she intends to defend herself against the charges. The Daybells are both in jail on $US1 million bond.
The family was living in Arizona in July 2019 when Lori's brother, Alex Cox, shot and killed Mr Vallow. The couple had known each other for a while, sometimes participating in podcasts about preparing for the biblical end times for an online organisation aimed at members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Tammy Daybell died in October, her obituary saying she passed away in her sleep of natural causes. The family declined an autopsy before she was buried in Utah.The quick marriage drew the suspicion of officers, who had Tammy Daybell's body exhumed for an investigation. The results of that autopsy have not yet been released.
