“This meeting is important,” said Frank Montoya Jr, Retired Senior Executive with the FBI. “Because it gives the investigators a chance to see where everyone is, at the same time.”
He explained that traveling to meet as one group gives everyone the opportunity to talk about the case and various investigations and coordinate the next steps.
“First and foremost, to talk about what has been happening as far as the investigation is concerned, to find children,” he said. “But, to keep everything organized, to keep everything coordinated, to talk about future strategy, to compare notes.”
Comparing notes, as authorities connect the dots between the events involving JJ, Tylee, their mother Lori Vallow-Daybell and her new husband Chad Daybell.
One example of a possible discussion topic: The suspicious death of Chad’s late wife, Tammy Daybell, in Fremont County, Idaho.
The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office is investigating what caused Tammy to suddenly pass away in October, just weeks before Chad married Lori.
CBS News reported Tuesday that a source close to the investigation says Lori’s brother, Alex Cox, may be linked to Tammy’s death.
The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that days before Tammy died, she called to report suspicious activity. Sheriff Len Humphries explained that deputies responded, but that Tammy thought it was a prank and nothing beyond that.
He said it is still an open investigation.
