Kids of ‘doomsday’ cult mom Lori Vallow were wrapped in plastic, dismembered

The dead children of doomsday-obsessed mom Lori Vallow appeared to have been “tortured” — with one found wrapped in plastic while the other was dismembered and burned, according to reports and records.

Recently unsealed documents in the case against Vallow’s new husband, Chad Daybell — charged with concealing the bodies — give gruesome details on how Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 17, were found.
The first human body authorities found while digging at Daybell’s Idaho property was “wrapped in black plastic,” the unsealed affidavit says.

“The plastic appeared to be tightly wrapped around the body and secured with gray duct tape,” the document states. The East Idaho News says it was the wrapped body of JJ, with a white plastic bag also over his head.
The second body was then found next to a fire pit that had also been used as a pet cemetery, the documents show, where bodies of cats and dogs were also found.

Officials found two human bones — then “several other items” scattered around, including “other bones, charred tissue and charred bones.”
“Tylee’s remains were burned. She was dismembered. She was buried in the ground,” East Idaho News reporter Nate Eaton told Fox Nation’s “Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.”
Daybell, 51, was “continuously watching where officers were searching” during the dig, the affidavit said.
“I don’t think these kids were simply put to sleep and then buried,” Eaton, who has followed the story throughout, told Grace.

“It’s not like these bodies were simply buried in a decent manner. They were tortured, in a way,” he insisted.

On Thursday, the Ada County Coroner’s office announced additional testing is underway for the kids’ bodies and the results will take “several weeks to return,” East Idaho News reported.

Ada County Coroner Dotti Owens said in a news release she signed an agreement with Fremont County Coroner Brenda Dye to complete the pathology services in the case while Fremont County will foot the bill, the outlet reported. It’s not immediately clear why the remains were transferred to another county.

Both Lori Vallow and Daybell are behind bars. The pair fled to Hawaii after refusing to cooperate with authorities searching for Vallow’s children.
