THE JEEP: Last week, a colleague and I did some investigating in Gilbert. We canvassed the neighborhood Brandon Boudreaux lived at in October 2019. Also, where police say he was shot at on 10/2.
What we know:
The Jeep below was registered to Charles Vallow.
Charles was shot and killed on 7/11/19 by Alex Cox, the brother of Charles’ wife at the time - Lori Vallow. We know Alex claimed self-defense.
The car was registered to Charles but mainly driven by his stepdaughter Tylee Ryan.
Tylee went missing in September, last seen on 9/8/19.

Rexburg Police says LE recovered the Jeep in Idaho where Vallow lived after the welfare check and search warrant regarding JJ and Tylee.
What we learned:
A neighbor tells us on the morning of 10/2, she noticed a Jeep parked across the street from her but to the right of Brandon’s home.
The Jeep faced west, parked nose to nose against another car which was odd.
The neighbor tells me the Jeep had been parked there all morning.
Court documents filed by Brandon’s attorney says he left his home around 7:20 AM to drop off his younger kids to his ex Melani Pawlowski. He returned around 9:15 AM.
So according to the witness, that Jeep had been parked outside for at least two hours.
When Brandon pulled into his driveway and had been allegedly shot at, the neighbor heard a loud noise.
It’s important to note, Brandon believes he saw a silencer on the rifle.
The neighbor remembers seeing the Jeep speed off down the street after the shooting.
In this document I’ve shared before, a GPS watch given to Brandon’s son is mentioned. Brandon just moved in a few days prior and says no one knew his address.
The shooting is still being investigated by GPD, but just wanted to share the nuggets we found by going to the scene where it unfolded.
NOTE: Security video was hard to find. Majority of homes didn’t have cameras. Many Arizona residents carry firearms to defend their property.
