The 2,500-page police report also includes how police say they surveilled Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell.
An image of Joshua "JJ" Vallow wearing the clothes in which he was found buried was taken on the last day he is believed to have been alive, according to police in Arizona, who released the photo in a report more than 2,500 pages long that includes new details into the investigation of Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell.
The couple were charged in May with first-degree murder in connection to the deaths of Vallow's two children, 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and conspiracy to commit murder of Daybell's first wife, Tammy Daybell, Prosecutor Rob Wood announced on what would have been Lori's youngest child's ninth birthday.
Chad Daybell was indicted on the charge of first-degree murder in the death of his wife Tammy Daybell, who died in October 2019. Both Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow are accused of conspiring to kill Tammy Daybell. Lori and Chad got married in Hawaii a few weeks after her death. Police exhumed Tammy's body after JJ and Tylee, who were reported missing in September 2019, were found the following summer buried in Chad's backyard.
In another investigation in Arizona, Lori also faced the felony charge of conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the death of her previous husband, Charles Vallow. Lori's brother, Alex Cox, fatally shot Vallow in July 2019 in what he said was an act of self-defense, but investigators believe Lori and her brother planned the killing.
Chad has pleaded not guilty to all charges and will go to trial in November. Lori was ruled unfit to stand trial in connection to the charges she faces in the killings of her children after being examined by a licensed clinical psychologist. She was moved to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. All criminal proceedings against her have been paused as a result.
