who actually reported the kids
missing through a welfare check,
and it wasn't Lori herself.
And I will say they are absolut.
We're going to step out of the way so
we can get a shot of them coming out,
Kay and Larry coming out.
There's a bunch of cheering happening
right now. Ads are coming out.
You can see they're being embraced and
hugged. A lot of emotions out here right now.
People are screaming We Will
Rock you 'cause that was one
of JJ's favorite songs
Ohh. And Larry is now singing
We Will Rock You. He's
got the whole crowd singing along with
him as well as this is happenin.
A lot of smiles, a lot of cheers
amongst the media as well as
the spectators out here right n.
This is the day that they've ben
waiting more than three years f.
OK. Larry and Kay are walking
up to the microphone again.
They've been resilient. Thank y.
Thank y'all, thank y'all, thanku
for one time in my life. I'm.
I'm kind of lost at words,
believe that or not
look.
First of all, I want to thank 18 jurors.
I cannot thank them enough. I'me
everybody has paid attention in court
speaking to get her
here closer. Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sure everyone has
paid attention in court.
I want to personally thank
and I want to personally hug
every one of those jurors,
what they went through.
What they saw
is mind boggling. I hope that
nobody ever has to go through t.
I hope nobody ever has to see and hear
the details of what happened to,
to Ty Lee and to tell me
guys we got. Two more trials,
Two more 3. Charles,
Chad and Brandon. Oh,
OK. I'm sorry. Well, OK yeah,
Brandon's in Arizona and the the next,
the next trial is Chad.
I look forward to being back ins
courthouse again if that happen.
I hope everybody is here again.
I hope that y'all appreciate soh
the court system, how meticulou,
how meticulous that the prosecution was.
I think everybody will will agree it was.
It was amazing job by all of
them and I want y'all to know.
That even the defense,
I shook their hands. I've,
I have said many times I want a fair,
honest and righteous decision.
I think we had 18 jurors
that all deserve our appreciati,
our love, and they gave.
An honest, fair and righteous
verdict. You guys really
embrace each other in there.
At the reading of the verdict,
what did you say to each other in that
moment? I love you. What?
What else can you say, Larry?
What was it like walking out,
seeing all the law enforcement
officers in the hallway? Do I?
What was it like walking out,
seeing all of the law enforcement officers?
Oh, I know we would be nowhere without.
You know, as much as I have said
up here about the the prosecuti,
the defense, the jurors, Nate,
you made a absolute great state.
We have to appreciate,
support our law enforcement,
enforcement officials.
Those guys sacrifice from their families,
from their homes.
We will never know the countless hours,
the countless hours that they have put in,
how much sacrifice they have gone through
and most of all what they have
seen in this case, that maybe.
Some people will never Unsee.
I am. I love them. I appreciate them.
There's not one of these guys I
wouldn't go go in a dark alley .
I I would. I can't.
I cannot thank them enough.
Next question. Mary,
what is your final message to Lori Valo?
My final message to Lori
Y'all ready?
Turn out the lights.
The party's over. They say thatl
good things must end. Lori, it ended.
Hey, what about you?
Can you tell us what it's like?
Can I have a minute?
We are elated with this.
There was some doubt we
would get all of them,
all guilties, but we did it.
The prosecution is amazing.
The law enforcement is amazing.
They became our family and.
We're keeping most of them for the rest of
our life as family and even you news people.
We've made great friends with
you guys and journalist.
News journalist.
Anyway, it's great our JJ now

and put him to rest as well as
Ty Lee and do right by them and.
We'll see how that works.
But anyway we're so grateful ane
thank all of y'all for your supt
and we would never be here with
without y'all and so many people
have reached out to us and I men
I have to tell y'all there's we

This is what this has been all
about from the very get go.
It started with two children
missing and I stood up and I
said where are the children?
Where are the children?
