A recently-released video shows the momentLori Vallow Daybelland her husbandChad Daybellwere served papers ordering them to hand their children over to the Idaho Department of Health in early 2020 after the children vanished.
Lori, 49,is on trial in Idahoon charges she murdered her two children,Joshua “J.J.” Vallow, 7, andTylee Ryan, 16, and conspired to murder her husband’s first wife,Tammy Daybell.
After taking the papers from local police and reading them over silently with her head down, Lori looks up and asks, “Do you need something from me?” before the officers ask if she has any questions about the court order. Lori then shrugs her shoulders before shaking her head without saying a word.
Lori’s trial has been full of bombshell revelations.
Melanie Gibb, a friend of Lori’s, testified that the Idaho woman believed people existed on a continuum of “light” and “dark” — with those that “signed contracts” with Jesus Christ being light and those who did the same with Satan as dark.
In text messages in August 2019, Lori and Chad discussed J.J. nearing a “zero” on their scale.

“He was just up talking nonsense for like 2 hours last night,” Lori had texted to Chad. “I’m sure they were bugging him. Is he at zero yet? I miss you.”
“Yes, he’s at zero,” responded Chad, according to theEast Idaho News. “He probably was partly through the veil, talking to people both light and dark.”
Lori then asked: “Do you think there is a perfectly orchestrated plan to take the children? And we just have to wait for it to be carried out? I feel lost like I should be doing something to help.”
Both the prosecution and defense rested their case on Tuesday. The jurors had the day off Wednesday.
