Joshua Vallow and his older sister Tylee Ryan were last seen in Rexburg, Idaho, in September.
Police were made aware of the missing children in November, when authorities attempted to check on JJ, who has autism, KUTV reported. At the time, Lori Vallow and Daybell told police that JJ was living with a family friend in Arizona.
A day after determining that this information was false, police obtained search warrants to look for JJ in the couple's residence, KSTU reported. However, they then found that both Vallow and Daybell had left the city of Rexburg. They also discovered that Tylee, like her brother, had not been seen since September.
Brandon Boudreaux, a Rexburg resident who married into Lori Vallow's family, told KSTU that he believes the disappearances may be related to Chad Daybell's"cult"-like religious beliefs, which he said focused on the end of the world. "I spent the last 11 years of my life spending time with Lori and her now-deceased husband Charles," Boudreaux told KSTU."I don't know what happened to [Tylee and JJ], but I know there's people who do, and they're not talking... I love them both. I hope they're safe. They're both just innocent and they didn't deserve to be involved in any of this."The FBI did not immediately respond to requests for additional information.
The NCMEC stated on its website that it assisted law enforcement with solving over 25,000 missing children cases in 2018. The overwhelming majority of the missing were runaways, while four percent had been abducted by relatives. Less than one percent of the children had been abducted by non-family members.
