Lori Vallow Update: Confusion About Prison Release Emerges After Unexpected Alert

Lori Vallow is still behind bars, despite a recent belief she may have been released.

Vallow and her husband, Chad Daybell, have been criticized over the course of the past year due to their behavior surrounding the disappearance of Vallow's children, Tylee Ryan and Joshua "JJ" Vallow. After police obtained a second search warrant and returned to Daybell's Idaho property, those working the case positively identified their remains. Following the development, Daybell was taken into custody and charged with two counts of destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence, which are felony charges.

Now, as both are currently behind bars, an unexpected message falsely indicated that Vallow had been released from custody.

According to KATU2, the false information was sent out via VINE, which notifies people who are "following custody status and criminal case information for active cases." However, those who work at the Madison County Jail corrected the narrative and confirmed that she is, in fact, still being held in police custody.

As for why the alert was initially sent out, the publication states that a new system had been put into place at the facility. As a result, the notification had simply meant that she had been "released" from the old system.

Aside from the recent mixup, the couple's strange behavior has recently been discussed by various people from their pasts prior to their next court dates. Not only did a former friend state that Daybell, who has been described as "a prolific Doomsday author, alleged cult leader and former grave digger," once "opened the doors of darkness," but a former colleague also discussed his dangerous beliefs. Additionally, it has also been said that he previously had been convinced that he would avoid consequences for Tylee and JJ's disappearance.

Both Vallow and Daybell are currently being held on a $1M bond and he has pleaded not guilty. His next court hearing is scheduled for July 1.
