THE bodies Lori Vallow’s two missing children were both found horribly hidden at her husband’s Idaho property, reports say.
Officers made a grisly discovery in the hunt for Vallow’s missing kids, Tylee Ryan, 17, and JJ Vallow, 8, when they found two bodies at Chad Daybell’s Rexburg home on Tuesday.
FOX10 reporter Justin Lum revealed that one set of remains found on Daybell‘s property is JJ, according to his grandmother, Kay Woodcock, but authorities have yet to officially confirm their identities.
Woodcock’s husband and JJ’s grandfather, Larry Woodcock, later confirmed that the other body was Tylee, as per The Post Register.
During Daybell’s first court appearance on Wednesday, prosecutor Rob Wood said there were “children’s remains” found at Daybell’s Salem property, adding that “the concealment of one of the bodies is particularly egregious.”
This indicates the body was hidden in a particularly offensive, appalling or shocking manner.
Daybell, 51, appeared before a judge via Zoom at 11am – the day after cops found two bodies at his house.
“One of the primary reasons we are asking the bail to be set at that amount is these are human remains and although those remains have not yet been positively identified, we are aware that these remains are the remains of children,” Wood said.
He highlighted that Daybell had a strong incentive to flee if he posted bail.
But Daybell’s lawyer, John Prior, said “publicity” was no reason to raise his bond above $100,000.
Judge Farrin Eddins decided to set bail at $1 million based on 10 factors involved in the complex case, however.
Eddins noted that the aggravating factor was the fact these bodies were concealed after cops found the two sets of remains at his Rexburg property.
If Daybell does manage to post bail, he can only live in four counties in Idaho, he has to let the court know where he’s living, and he must wear an ankle monitor, the judge said.
On Tuesday, in a field near Daybell’s house, the FBI, Rexburg police, and sheriff’s investigators erected canopies, draped blue tarps on the ground and brought in heavy equipment to help dig yesterday before two sets of remains were unearthed.
“We would like to confirm at this time that investigators have discovered two sets of unidentified human remains,” Rexburg Police Chief Gary Hagen said. “Autopsy results are pending.”
Daybell was arrested on charges of destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence.
The discovery was made after authorities there searched his home in the eastern Idaho town of Salem for the second time and it was linked to Tylee and JJ’s disappearance, cops said.
Court documents state the telling dates for the two charges against Daybell are September 8 and 22 2019 of last year – the last times Tylee and her little adopted brother were seen alive.
The kids were pictured with their mom and uncle, Alex Cox, at Yellowstone National Park on September 8, while JJ’s last day at school was on September 23.
Vallow has already been charged with child abandonment, obstructing an investigation, contempt of court and soliciting a crime, pleaded not guilty, and is in jail on $1 million bond.
Doomsday author Daybell – who has written multiple novels about the end of times – will make his first court appearance remotely via the Freemont County Jail remotely amid coronavirus fears and the hearing was streamed on YouTube.
The complex investigation gripped the nation after Vallow’s children were reported missing in November – two months after they vanished – and a slew of mysterious deaths were connected to the couple.
Last July, her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, was shot dead in Phoenix Arizona by Vallow’s brother, Alex Cox, while Daybell’s wife also died in mysterious circumstances back in October.
About two weeks after Tammy Daybell’s death, Vallow and Daybell got married in Hawaii.
The couple are now being investigated by the Idaho Attorney General’s Office for conspiracy, attempted murder and murder in connection to Tammy’s death.
Daybell’s next court appearance has been scheduled for July 1 and July 2 will also be made available in case the probably cause hearing runs over.
