A few months later, Lori married Chad Daybell, a doomsday writer whose own wife had died weeks earlier.The newlyweds left Idaho, police said, after investigators began inquiring about the whereabouts of Lori’s minor children, 17-year-old Tylee Ryan and adopted 7-year-old Joshua “J.J.” Vallow.Doomsday Writer’s Friend Says He Prophesied Wife’s Mysterious DeathThe children have not been seen since October and Rexburg, Idaho, police said last week they are believed to be in serious danger.

He hated arguing with people. He’d never been in a fight, he was not an aggressive person in any way. I don’t believe it at all,” he told the TV station.The deaths of both Cox and Charles Vallow are under investigation—along with the death of Chad Daybell’s first wife, Tammy.After she was found dead at their Idaho home in July, he declined an autopsy and the cause of death was listed as natural.
