I have a theory about LV going to Hawaii prior to Tammy's murder. It is my impression that Chad Daybell wasn't moving fast enough to get rid of Tammy. She went to Hawaii on the notion that, "absence makes the heart grow fonder" (or, more relevant: "absence makes the loin fires burn hotter"). Am I off-base here?
No-- not off base and I have thought the same thing.
and per LVD trial she texted Chud this
9:00 a.m.: Former FBI Special Agent Doug Hart is on the stand.
He reads texts from Chad Daybell to Lori Vallow on July 15, 2019, where Chad Daybell tells her she is his best friend, he cannot live without her and his love for her is "overflowing."
Lori Vallow responds, "And yet... You are. So sad."
11:10 a.m.: Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow get in some kind of fight around Aug. 8, 2019. She begins to ignore him, so he texts her multiple times throughout the day.
“The angels are angry you are ignoring me… I’m not trying to manipulate you to respond, I understand you need your space... But the protection I built around your house is gone. I love you and don’t want you getting attacked," Chad Daybell texts her.
She did the guilt trip on him IMO
also of interest is the 3% in this article referring to JJ and Tammy
Lori Vallow replies, "What is the percentage now? What about JJ’s too?"
"Tammy is at 3, JJ is at 2. Both are being heavily shielded to stop intruders," Chad Daybell texts back.
Lori Vallow then asks, "2 and 3 percent ? Not zero?" Chad Daybell says he will explain later. Lori Vallow tells him, "Ok. Still feeling hot for you."
10:08 a.m.: On July 29, 2019, during a trip to California that Lori Vallow took with her niece Melani Pawlowski, Pawlowski's children and JJ Vallow, Chad Daybell texts Lori Vallow:
"One question. Do you want me to cause pain yet to those two 3s you're riding with?"
Lori Vallow replies, "Probably hold off on them until we arrive. They will be mistake to deal with. But I’ll text you if they start acting up and we can zap them."
