Idaho “cult” mother Lori Vallow, and her husband, Chad Daybell, have been found. The pair were discovered by officials in Hawaii after fleeing their home as police launched an investigation into the disappearance of Vallow’s two youngest children.

Kaua'i police are in contact with the pair and aware of their current whereabouts, but they have not arrested them, Fox 13 reported.

As RadarOnline.com readers know, Vallow, 46, and Daybell, 51, have been on the run for months. It all began in July 2019, when Vallow’s ex-husband, Charles Vallow, was shot dead by her brother, Alex Cox, inside her home in Chandler, Arizona. Two months later, in September, Vallow and her young kids, son J.J. and daughter Tylee, moved to Rexburg, Idaho. There, Vallow continued her romance with Daybell, the author of several religious-themed fiction books about prophecies and the end of the world.

J.J., 7, and Tylee, 17, were last seen at school in late September. No one has seen or heard from them since, and Vallow is refusing to answer questions or cooperate with authorities. According to reports, she previously told people that J.J. was dead.

In October 2019 — one month after the kids were last seen — Daybell’s ex-wife, Tammy Daybell, was found dead in her family home. Officials said she died of natural causes. Vallow and Daybell married two weeks later.

Vallow’s family has since accused her of joining a dark cult.

The children’s aunt, Kay Woodcock, exclusively told RadarOnline.com in an interview that the alleged cult Preparing A People is a dangerous organization, and she believes it has something to do with the deaths of Daybell’s late wife, Vallow’s late husband, and the disappearance of Tylee and J.J. — whose birth name is Joshua.

“I pray that they’re okay. I’m trying to be positive. I just want J.J. found,” she said.

Speaking of the alleged cult, she added: “They say it’s Mormon based, but Chad Daybell was ex-communicated from the Mormon church and Lori will be too. So, it’s absolutely not Mormon, it’s a cult. Daybell wrote all these books with his own thoughts about things, and then it went from there.” https://radaronline.com/videos/missing-idaho-children-cult-mom-stepdad/

Earlier this month, Vallow’s elder son, Colby Ryan, posted a heartbreaking YouTube video, begging his mother for information about his siblings’ whereabouts.

“We strongly believe that Joshua and Tylee’s lives are in danger,” Rexburg police said after Vallow and Daybell fled Idaho. “We know that the children are not with Lori and Chad Daybell and we also have information indicating that Lori knows either the location of the children or what has happened to them. Despite having this knowledge, she has refused to work with law enforcement to help us resolve this matter.”

The two founders of Preparing A People, Michael and Nancy James, have not responded to RadarOnline.com’s request for comment.
