From their behavior in HI earlier today, I can only conclude that the kids are safe somewhere. Which is good!
If Lori (and/or AC) conspired to murder CV, it certainly appears she got away with it - despite CV saying "if anything happens to me, Lori and Alex did it". I don't think Tylee will ever say any more than she's already said on that one, and Chandler LE have done all they're capable of doing - which is not much. So sadly, I think that one's behind us.
The BB shooting would only lead to a prosecution if they can somehow implicate MB. I think with AC gone, that's unlikely.
You just can't prosecute a dead man. But it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
The only possible crimes left then are the deaths TD and AC. If it turns out TD and AC's deaths were due to natural causes, this whole case against Lori and CD just up and disappears in the Rocky Mountain wind.
If TD and AC's deaths however were not due to natural causes, the common thread I think would almost have to be poison. Where did they get it from, and who gave it to whom? But even this prospect doesnt seen to be bothering the Daybell's in HI. Again, you almost have to conclude that the kids are safe, and that Lori and Chad feel immune from any charges in the TD or AC cases. To me, if the deaths were due to poison, the only way Lori and CD could be acting as non-plussed as they are is if AC committed both crimes almost on his own. Lori and CD clearly think they've got it made, and they just might.
In retrospect, it may have just been a coincidence that Lori and CD left Rexburg on the night of the 26th (perhaps Lori was rushing them out..). They may not have known that night that LE was going to be coming back the next morning with SW's.
It will always remain a mystery to me though as to why Lori lied about the children's whereabouts during the welfare check. The only explanation I can come with is that, perhaps up until the 26th, Chad truly didn't know about the kids (I know, I know, they'd had an affair, yada yada,- but Lori is a master manipulator). And although CD might have been lying when he told "others" or "family" or whoever that he'd been told that Lori had no minor children, maybe he believed her.
If this is all true, then on the 26th, Lori was caught flat footed when cops asked her directly about JJ in Chad's presence. Maybe the only lie Lori could come up with under such circumstances was that JJ was at a friends, a long way away. She could explain it to CD and apologize later. "We got a plane to catch!"
So to me, this whole investigation is kinda dormant until the autopsy results are released re: both TD's and AC's . TD's death is the one that bothers me. Hopefully LE is gathering as much evidence as they can (mssgs, video, finger prints, DNA, witnesses, acquiring poison, etc.) to be ready when autopsy results are made available.
Anyway, I hope this wasn't all for naught, but it coulda been just that. I for one, however, got to confirm something that I knew had been happening in, and to, our country for a very long time. I'm gonna take a few days off.
