Case of the Missing Idaho Kids: A Timeline in the Disappearance of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan | Inside Edition

Dateline did a 2 hour show last night on it.

'''Dateline''' to focus on missing Rexburg children case | ktvb.com

Kids are missing. Not one person has seen them since Fall of 2019.

Mother is being completely uncooperative.

My question to you is, should she be charged with a crime, and what charges should be filed?

My thoughts are that at the very least "obstruction of justice" and "child endangerment".

There's also "mysterious deaths" of at least two direct family members being investigated right now, plus a third death of the man the mother is now currently married to.

Oh - and the mother and her new husband think the absolute End of the World will be this coming June of 2020.


But there is currently no information/evidence of what's happened to the children other than zero information as to where they are.

If you don't believe the mother should be arrested, please tell us why.
 
Not until they have enough evidence that she can be charged with a crime.
 
It should also be noted that the mother has NOT filed a missing person report or anything.

However, every explanation she's given to the police about the location of the children has been a lie.
 
I've been keeping up with this story and think that the mother and her new husband (writer, LDS-offshoot/possible cult leader) need to answer a LOT of questions.

And it's not just the two missing kids--there have been at least three very strange deaths, including the mom's former husband, who was shot by her brother, surrounding all this.
 
I've been following this. I heard she had a deadline in order to produce the children, but she never did. Yes, she should be arrested. I wonder if they're waiting to see if she or her husband will trip up and give away what they did to the children.
 
This is up here in my neck of the country and it is absolutely insane.

The grandparents of the little 7 yr old boy have put $24,000 of their own money up as a reward as they are just totally heartbroken.

She has lied each time as to where the kids are.

As noted above there are 3 other suspicious deaths of related relatives.

So she and this new husband are off enjoying themselves in Hawaii while everyone back home is trying to find the kids.

So let me get this right. If you decide to kill your kid you simply have to hide the body and when anyone asks just say they are living with a relative in another state. Then you can carry on with enjoying life and there is nothing law enforcement can do?????

Of course that what's happening, in very much the larger sense of others involved as well. The coppers are still gathering evidence - of everything.

They can gather all the evidence they need while also arresting the mother.

They can hold her right up until she provides valid, conclusive evidence that the children are alive and well.

Although I'm sure she's also the key suspect in the murders of three people.
(Three that we know of so far - and probably two more if you count her children)

My point was the coppers may be allowing the involved individuals to provide further evidence and actions in implicating themselves. Obviously they (couple) are not going anywhere.

How is that obvious?

They're elite members of a Doomsday Cult.
They could commit suicide at any moment.

In the Dateline story last night there was mention of them possibly taking a "trip" to Mexico.
There was no mention of them be restricted to staying within the USofA.

If they haven't been charged with a crime, are they not free to travel as they see fit?

There has to be a very good reason they aren't arresting them yet. If they do, they'll probably immediately lawyer up and they won't be able to get anything out of them. But if they keep them under 24/7 surveillance (GPS, phone calls, internet activity, etc.) OR have the help from family members to get more information out of them then they'll have what they need to find the kids (who, let's face it, are probably dead) and have enough evidence to get a conviction.
 
Meh. If the parents want to lose a kid or two, that's their business.

She has no obligation to cooperate and it sounds as though she is not intimidated easily. Why are they even looking for these children anyhow? It could be they are perfectly fine she knows where they are and is comfortable with that. Why is this a police matter?

Unfortunately I believe the two kids are dead.

So any info they get won't bring them back alive.

What's scary is the current scumbag husband has kids of his own.
Where are they? Are they safe?

Also, since this current scumbag husband is apparently so "charismatic" and a leader of a Doomsday Cult he could probably incite quite a few more deaths/killings if left to his own accord.

She has EVERY obligation as their mother.


The children are missing. Grandparents filed a report.
Since then the mother has lied numerous times about where they are.

Oops...

The man the mother is currently married to was previously married to another woman who died "mysteriously" in her sleep.
She was a healthy woman in her early 40's.
The man declined an autopsy. Buried her.
Then married his current whacko wife two weeks later.

The police have now had the dead wife's body exhumed and are now doing an autopsy.

No she does not. The grandparents are NOT the parents. I dont even know which grandparents these are, they could be a former husbands parents just harassing the lady. The police have no evidence and she is not required to give them any.

Do you have any clue what's going on with this case?
Any at all?

Is there something here that makes this a police matter I am not aware of? I haven't followed the story, but its obvious that there is more to this story or the woman would not be free to do as she pleases.

Dude -- the children are missing. NO ONE has seen them since September - no family, no friends, no school, no doctors. The husband's wife died and her body was exhumed in December to determine what was the exact cause of death. The mother's husband was killed by her brother and then her brother died too. So, to sum up -- both of their spouses are dead, the brother who killed his sister's husband is dead (ALL under suspicious circumstances), the children are missing and they refuse to tell authorities where they are and they are VERY into a Doomsday cult. Why on earth shouldn't the police be involved?
