My feeling on the matter is that Lori gradually isolated Tylee from friends and then family, [...] I'm presuming she disappeared when she did to align with college dates and the lie Lori had already been spreading about her going to college.
MOO
Thanks, and thanks for the correction -- I went back and tried to edit my original post but couldn't figure out how to do it :-(
I think you're spot on. And I have a couple of other questions: Were any of Tylee's things in the storage unit? And where was Chad Daybell on September 8?
Posts can only be edited by the poster within the first hour. After that only admin can edit posts.
Tylee's bike, ice skates, winter boots and a blanket were the items we got to see. There could have been more.
I've been thinking more on my original post and snipped it down to highlight the part that keeps playing on my mind. The implications, as I see it, are that Tylee's - I'll call it murder because that is my opinion - was premeditated from at least the first time Lori told anyone that Tylee was going away to college. I also believe getting rid of JJ's dog was a sign of premeditation of JJ's murder - again murder is my opinion - and this can be dated back to at least when Lori first contacted anyone about giving up Bailey. The implications of it are beyond anything I have ever seen before.
I am very interested in the fact that so far anyway, Colby has never mentioned anything about knowing Tylee was going to college, and his texts to Tylee do not reflect any knowledge of it either. This suggests to me that Lori was very mindful about who she told the lie to.
Murder of children with long premeditation. I was going to consider motive, but I'll save that for now.

Here are some relevant dates from the timeline, showing what was told and to who, and when: -
11 Jul 2019 – After the police interview Alex, Lori & Tylee, all 3 are transported together
in a police van back to the house [...] Lori was “happy-go-lucky”, smiling and talking about how
Tylee was going to go to BYU-Hawaii;
22 Jul 2019 – Lori sends an email to
Dog Training Elite asking about
finding a new family for JJ’s service dog Bailey; Lori say it’s due to a “change in life circumstances” (Affidavit of Probable Cause Doc).
Approx Jul/Aug 2019? – Lori apparently told
JJ’s grandparents KW & LW, and other people, that
Tylee was attending BYU in Rexburg, ID. (Note: Date they were told this is unclear, but this detail comes from Dateline; JJ’s grandparent last had contact from Lori in July 2019 and last had contact from JJ Aug 10, 2019).
Jul/Aug 2019 - (from timeline entry re. info. released in Jan 2020)
Tylee’s AZ friend [...] also shares:
Tylee had originally planned to stay in AZ, but decided to go to ID for JJ’s sake. [...]
Tylee said they were moving because Lori got a job in ID.
30 Aug 2019 – Lori calls
NM, the man who trained JJ’s service dog Bailey, saying [...] she, JJ & Tylee are
moving to Idaho to be near her daughter who is in school there
30 Aug 2019 – Lori, Tylee & JJ drive up to
Colby’s workplace in Tylee’s Jeep. He comes out to talk to them briefly and they tell him they are moving the next day. CR says when he hugged them goodbye
he did not know they were leaving AZ nor where they were moving to, but he thought it was good that Lori was getting the kids out of the house where CV died.
Lori also told CR she got a new job but did not mention where the job was or what she was doing.
1st Week of Sep 2019 – Tylee was seen by a
neighbor, SB, who helped Lori and AC move into 2 townhouse-style apts in the same complex in Rexburg. [...]
Lori told SB she moved there to attend college.
5 Sep 2019, 7:26 am – Lori calls and sends an email to
LIFE Academy in AZ to withdraw JJ from school,
saying she got a new job out of state.
Approx 7 Sep 2019 –
JJ told his friend, neighbor
SB's son, that he and his sister would be leaving soon. "They played everyday almost, until [JJ] said he was moving to his grandmother's…They told my son that, 'Oh yeah,
we're going to go visit my grandmother.' We didn't know where that was. I said, 'Oh, okay,' and I understood because school was about to start.
The semester was about to start and she was going to school, from what I understood," SB said (LocalNews8 ABC)
18 Sep 2019, 2:00 - A
nanny Lori found on care.com first comes to meet Lori and JJ. [...]
Her daughter also lives in Rexburg and is going to college. She said [...] Occasionally her daughter would come visit for dinner or to do laundry, but she never said that she lived there with them.
27 Nov 2019 -- During the investigation into JJ’s disappearance, LE learns that Lori’s teen daughter Tylee Ryan moved with Lori to Rexburg on Sept 1 or 2 but Tylee has not been seen since early Sept.
Lori said Tylee was attending classes at BYU-Idaho, but records show she was never enrolled at any BYU campus (Affidavit of Probable Cause Doc; East Idaho News).
I think it's interesting to think about who was present/aware at each stage of the lies being told, also whether this had any chance of being filtered back to the children, and to see what JJ and Tylee themselves understood. Perhaps on July 11th Tylee had been considering the possibility of going to BYU Hawaii for a while, so she didn't interject, or she was just used to Lori lying.
The most interesting entry that I can see is what JJ says on approx. Sep 7th. I don't think JJ's friend is mistaken in what he heard because SB has a conscious thought process about what Tylee is going to be doing, and he himself seems to wonder if grandmother's location is connected with college location. I have to wonder if say the date is slightly off, and it was a day or so after Yellowstone on the 8th, leaving no possibility that JJ can talk about it with Tylee. And perhaps an excuse was given to JJ that Tylee was out visiting friends and would be moving with him to Kay's. I wasn't able to find the term dates for BYU despite extensive searches yesterday. Does anyone have this? I think the fact it came up in JJ's conversation could indicate that he was aware of changes in the house, like packing up Tylee's belongings.
