Arizona Police Investigating ‘Suspicious’ Email In Connection To Lori Vallow’s Former Husband’s Death
29 Feb 2020
[...]
Police confirmed they are looking into the email obtained by KSL TV, which Vallow allegedly sent on June 29 to his other brother-in-law, Adam Cox.
“It is suspicious and it draws various questions that we would need to ask Lori and Tylee and possibly Chad to get to the bottom of it,” said Sergeant Jason McClimans with the Chandler Police Department in a phone interview.
In his message to Adam Cox, Charles Vallow claimed Lori Vallow created an email alias for him and used it to send a message to Chad Daybell the day before, inviting him to visit Arizona and write a book.
Charles Vallow suspected his wife wrote the letter, pretending to be him.
Excerpts from the message said in part: “I would gladly fly you down here early next week…you could stay in our guest room like before. I hate to take you away from your family, but I would definitely make it worth your time. With Admiration, Charles.”
Charles Vallow expressed concern about that message to Adam Cox, saying, “I’m not sure of the relationship with her and Chad Daybell but they are up to something…She will not explain it…I am going to send it to Chad Daybell’s wife. Her name is Tammy and I found her email address on their website too…I’ve got her cell number too.”
Chandler police said they are also working closely with the other agencies over the other cases tied to the missing children including the Fremont County, Idaho, Sheriff’s Office, which is over Tammy Daybell’s suspicious death investigation; the Gilbert, Arizona, Police Department, which is investigating Alex Cox’s death; and the Rexburg, Idaho, Police Department and FBI, which are directly over the disappearance of Ryan and JJ Vallow.
Chandler police said they’re considering sending detectives to question Lori Vallow after her extradition to Idaho.
“I most likely think they will try to interview her again. We would love to sit down and talk to Lori,” McClimans said.
It was unclear if Charles Vallow ever contacted Tammy Daybell about the letter.
Chad Daybell has not been charged in any of the investigations as of Saturday.
Lori Vallow’s
extradition is expected next week; she faces two felony charges related to the two children’s disappearance.
