24 HOURS
24 HOURS AGO... WE HEARD FROM THE GRANDPARENTS OF J-J
VALLOW RIGHT HERE ON
THE NEWS AT 4.
THIS AFTERNOON, WE'RE
NOW HEARING FROM THE
AUNT OF TYLEE RYAN.
BOTH KIDS HAVE BEEN
MISSING SINCE
SEPTEMBER.
THEIR MOTHER -- LORI
VALLOW -- IN A KAUAI JAIL
ON DESERTION CHARGES.
SHIRA MATSUZAWA AND
GRETCHEN PARSONS HAVE
BEEN WORKING ON THIS
STORY ALL DAY...
WE BEGIN WITH SHIRAH....
YOU SPOKE WITH TYLEE'S
AUNT TODAY....
WHAT DID SHE HAVE TO
SAY?
ANNIE CUSHING TELLS
ME... SHE WAS CLOSER TO
LORI
LORI VALLOW THAN ANY OF HER BIOLOGICAL SIBLINGS...
SHE WAS STILL HOLDING
OUT HOPE THAT LORI
WOULD RECONNECT WITH
THE LOVING MOTHER SHE
ONCE WAS... BUT SAYS
WHEN SHE SAW VIDEO OF
LORI IN COURT LAST
WEEK...SHE LOST THAT
HOPE.
THESE LAST FEW MONTHS
HAVE BEEN A
ROLLERCOASTER
ANNIE CUSHING HAS
BEEN COPING WITH THE
DISAPPEARANCE OF HER
NIECE TYLEE AND TYLEE'S
BROTHER J-J...BY
THROWING HERSELF INTO
RESEARCH.
I COULDNT BE THERE OR
WASNT THERE FOR TYLEE
AS MUCH AS I WISH I
WOULD'VE BEEN WHEN
WE KNEW SHE WAS ALIVE.
AS A FORMER REPORTER...
SHE'S BEEN DIGGING INTO
THE CASE... EVEN
CREATING A TIMELINE OF
THE CASE STARTING
AROUND WHEN LORI
MARRIED CUSHING'S
BROTHER JOSEPH RYAN.
THE LORI I MET IN 2002
WAS, SHE WAS KIND, SHE
WAS WINSOME, SHE WAS A
LOT OF FUN TO BE
AROUND, SHE WAS LIKE A
POLYANA
BUT AFTER HER BROTHER
DIED OF AN APPARENT
HEART ATTACK -- ANNIE
NOTICED SOME CHANGES
... WHEN SHE VISITED
LORI... TYLEE AND J-J IN
MAY OF 20-18.
THERE WAS A LOT OF
TENSION BETWEEN LORI
AND TYLEE AND TYLEE
SEEMED PRETTY SHUT
DOWN AND ANGRY.
BUT THE BIGGEST RED
FLAG ANNIE SAW... WAS
LORI'S EMPHASIS ON END
TIMES.
THE LAST TIME SHE
BROUGHT IT UP SHE WAS
MUCH MORE FOCUSED ON
HOW SCARY IT WAS
GOING TO BE AND MADE
MENTION OF BECAUSE OF
HOW SCARY IT WILL BE
THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER
TO JUST PUT HER KIDS IN
A CAR AND GO OFF A SIDE
OF A CLIFF
ANNIE SAYS... LORI
LAUGHED OFF HER
CONCERNS.
BUT ANNIE SAYS SHE
DISTANCED HERSELF
BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT
LORI MIGHT HAVE BEEN A
SOCIOPATH.
SHE HOPED TO HAVE A
BETTER RELATIONSHIP
WITH TYLEE ONCE SHE
WENT AWAY TO COLLEGE.
OBVIOUSLY SOME
REGRETS THERE
THAT WAS A LITTLE MORE
THAN A YEAR BEFORE
TYLEE AND J-J WENT
MISSING.
THESE ARE TWO
PRECIOUS KIDS, WHO
HAVE HOPES AND
DREAMS, THEY PLAYED
OUTSIDE AND THEY HAD A
FULL LIFE AND HOPEFULLY
STILL DO.
> NOW ANNIE HAS A
MESSAGE FOR HER
FORMER SISTER IN LAW.
IT USED TO BE FIND IT IN
YOUR HEART TO DO THE
RIGHT THING, COME
FORWARD LET US KNOW
WHERE THE KIDS ARE, BUT
NOW IT'S YOU CAN HIDE,
BUT NOW YOUR GIG IS UP,
WE'RE COMING FOR YOU
THE
THE KAUAI
THE KAUAI DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY TELLS US TODAY THAT LORI
REMAINS IN JAIL...AND SHE
HAS NOT HAD ANY
VISITORS SO FAR WHILE
SHE'S BEEN BEHIND BARS.
LORI VALLOW... WILL BE
BACK IN COURT FOR AN
EXTRADITION HEARING ...
ON MARCH 2ND.
THANKS SHIRA...
GRETCHEN I'LL TURN TO
YOU NOW...
YOU ALSO BEEN
FOLLOWING THE NEW
DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS
CASE....
WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT
TODAY?
AS LORI VALLOW SITS IN
JAIL...HER NEW HUSBAND
CHAD
CHAD DAYBELL HAS BEEN ON THE SIDELINES. TODAY WE ARE HEARING
FROM CHAD'S OLD
MISSIONARY PAL WHO
SAYS HE DOESN'T
RECOGNIZE THE CHAD
HE'S SEEN IN THE MEDIA
RECENTLY.
TRENT PRICE SAYS HE
CANT BELIEVE WHAT'S
HAPPENED TO HIS FRIEND
CHAD DAYBELL.
THE TWO WERE GOOD
FRIENDS 30 YEARS AGO AS
MISSIONARIES AND HAVE
KEPT IN TOUCH OVER THE
YEARS.
PRICE REMEBERS CHAD AS
A DEVOUT MEMBER OF
THE CHURCH OF JESUS
CHRIST LATTER-DAY
SAINTS.
HE DIDN'T HAVE A BAD
THING TO SAY ABOUT HIS
FRIEND, CALLING HIM A
GENTLE
GENTLE GIANT WITH A DEEP SPIRITUALITY THAT PEOPLE GRAVITATED TO.
BUT PRICE SAYS NOW
THAT CHAD'S FORMER
WIFE DIED UNDER
SUSPICIOUS
CIRCUMSTANCES AND
HE'S MARRIED TO LORI
WHOSE TWO KIDS ARE
MISSING...IT DOESN'T
LOOK GOOD FOR HIS
FRIEND.
1:00 - 1:10
HE IS NOT UNDER ARREST
BUT DEFINITLY THERE ARE
SOE SUSPICIOUS THINGS
THAT HAVE HAPPENED, I
CANT DENY THAT AND I
DONT WANT TO JUMP TO
CONCLUSIONS BUT ITS
NOT LOOKING GOOD
RIGHT NOW
OUR AFFILIATE K-S-L IN
SALT LAKE CITY SPOKE
WITH CHAD DAYBELL'S
PARENTS.
CHAD'S PARENTS SAID
THEY HAVE SPOKEN TO
HIM SINCE HIS WIFE'S
ARREST.

TALK ABOUT THE KIDS OR
THE CASE BUT THEY SAID
THEIR SON CHAD WILL BE
OKAY.
