REXBURG — Authorities in Madison County have filed a child protection order on behalf of 17-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow.

The two children have been missing since the end of September. Rexburg police say the children’s mother, Lori (Vallow) Daybell, and her new husband, Chad Daybell, refuse to tell them where the children are and have lied to investigators about their location. Police are also investigating the deaths of Chad and Lori’s former spouses.

On Sunday, Hawaiian law enforcement, in cooperation with federal and eastern Idaho authorities, served several search warrants on the couple in Kauai, Hawaii. EastIdahoNews.com has learned that one day before, the couple was also given the child protection order on behalf of the Madison County Prosecutor’s Office.
