Bailey the service dog Charles got for autistic JJ was valuable because he was specially trained (as well as being a pedigree Goldendoodle). So Lori tried to sell him for $1,500. But unluckily for her, the organisation that had trained Bailey saw her advert and immediately intervened, telling Lori it was not her dog to sell, and taking him back.
The dog's training had cost that organisation many thousands! Bailey was re-homed to another child like JJ with special needs. And JJ lost his best friend - after losing his devoted dad Charles, his loving big sister Tylee, and even his grandma and grandpa Kay and Larry Woodcock, whose regular contact with him Lori spitefully stopped, after Kay received Charles' $1 million life insurance - that she thought was coming to her, after she and Alex murdered him!
The last few months of JJ's life, as the most important people in his life were taken from him - and then even his dog disappeared - are heartbreaking. He must have been the loneliest little boy in the world when Alex Cox finally came for him that fateful night in September. .ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

 @kathduncan9618 It really is the most unbelievably dark story isn't it? How a mother could kill both of her children, and pose at her beach wedding laughing and dancing just weeks later, defies human emotion. But she clearly has none, and never loved JJ or Tylee.
I read a very sad story recently about JJ's biological mother Mandy Leger. As you probably know, she and JJ's bio dad Todd Trehan both had substance abuse issues when they conceived JJ. As a result, he was born drug addicted, and ended up being adopted at age one by his great Uncle Charles Vallow, and the evil Lori.
Mandy's life had spiralled out of control at the time of JJ's birth. She had access rights for the first six months of his life and wanted to be a Mom to him. But after she relapsed and was ordered to attend rehab, she learned his adoption had been finalized. She never saw him again.
Over the years, Mandy always hoped she would some day be reunited with her little boy, and forge a relationship with him. When she heard he was missing in November 2019 aged seven, she investigated ways to get him back. Tragically, unbeknown to her, he was already dead.
When Mandy learned the bombshell news of JJ's murder and squalid burial in Chad Daybell's pet cemetery, she was devastated. Her dreams of a reunion were forever shattered. According to her loved ones, she never recovered from the tragedy.
In June last year, Mandy Leger died, aged 46. The coroner ruled her death was by natural causes, but her loved ones say she died of a broken heart. Mandy is surely yet another victim of that unholy trio, Lori Vallow, Alex Cox and Chad Daybell.
If you're curious, I've linked to the 'Daily Mail' article below. The photos of Mandy and a tiny, newborn JJ are very moving - and reveal he was the total spitting image of his Mom! The physical resemblance between mother and son is quite uncanny. This dreadful story holds so much sadness and loss, for so many!

Yes, Lori Vallow, her brother Alex Cox, and her lover Chad Daybell's diabolical crimes have taken an enormous physical and emotional toll on the many surviving victims closely tied to this case.
Sadly, Colby Ryan has not escaped his malevolent mother Lori's dark influence totally unscathed. Last year, September 2022, he admitted raping his estranged wife at the home they once shared, during an access visit to see his kids. It's said he apologised to the mother of his children, and told her it would never happen again.
She initially, bravely pressed charges against Colby Ryan for rape. But I suspect all the inevitable publicity (due to Colby's infamous criminal family connections), deterred her from proceeding. All rape trials are an horrendous ordeal for the victim. but In this case the global publicity made it an even more stressful and terrifying prospect for her.
The sexual assault case against Colby Ryan was dismissed 'without prejudice', meaning it could be picked up again and resurrected at any time. I hope that serves as a reminder to him to keep his hands off unwilling women, and NO means NO.
