In September 2019, 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Family members had heard nothing from them for months, but the children’s parents never reported the minors missing. Law enforcement visited the home of JJ and Tylee’s mother, Lori Vallow, that November to perform a welfare check on the children. Authorities later located Vallow and her husband, Chad Daybell, in Hawaii, where police finally arrested Vallow in February 2020 — months before investigators found JJ and Tylee’s remains on Daybell’s property. Are Vallow and Daybell responsible for the children’s deaths? Did they have anything to do with the mysterious deaths of Daybell’s first wife, Tammy, and Vallow’s estranged husband, Charles? Stay with us as we remember the victims, JJ and Tylee, and discuss what we know so far about Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell.   Thank you to our sponsor, Best Fiends! www.bestfiends.com Promo by All Crime No Cattle: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-crime-no-cattle/id1327729036   Articles for Research/Narration: https://www.thecut.com/2021/05/doomsday-couple-chad-daybell-lori-vallow-what-to-know.html https://www.12news.com/article/news/crime/lori-vallow-daybell-medically-incompetent/75-d15d83fe-2cc5-42e4-8b61-595bd781c2b4 https://www.deseret.com/u-s-world/2021/5/25/22453673/lori-vallow-chad-daybell-story-recap https://www.deseret.com/utah/2020/8/3/21352614/daybell-hearing-could-offer-new-details-in-missing-kids-case-idaho-lori-vallow-chad-jj-tylee  https://heavy.com/entertainment/2020/05/joshua-jj-vallow-tylee-ryan/   Music: The "Straight-Up Enigmas Theme" was written and created by Chuck Flyer.   Straight Up Strange Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/straightupstrange/.   This episode was produced and edited by host, Jaden McKell.

Frequency is everywhere — all things in our universe are constantly in motion, vibrating. Even the Earth hums at its own frequency. Knowing about frequency is fascinating, but also important for our well-being. It could impact our physical, mental, and emotional health. Some scientists think that frequency can explain life’s greatest mysteries, the reality or non-reality of ghosts and aliens — even the human consciousness. There are so many enigmas surrounding frequency. Join us as we explore the frequencies that make up Earth’s secret symphony.   Thank you to our sponsor, Best Fiends: www.bestfiends.com Promo by Spooky Science Sisters: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spooky-science-sisters/id1510472957   Articles for Research/Narration: https://www.britannica.com/science/frequency-physics  https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/could-certain-frequencies/  https://purelysimpleorganicliving.com/vibrations-frequencies/#:~:text=Because%20of%20this%2C%20all%20humans,determine%20and%20differentiate%20vibrational%20patterns.  https://www.drskinhealth.com/blog/schumann-resonance#:~:text=It%20has%20been%20proven%20by,%2Dmind%20control%2C%20and%20grounding.  https://theinspireproject.org/default.asp?contentID=3 https://nautil.us/blog/how-radio-enthusiasts-are-listening-to-earths-secret-symphony https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sunearth/news/gallery/schumann-resonance.html https://eos.org/features/studying-earths-double-electrical-heartbeat https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/the-hippies-were-right-its-all-about-vibrations-man/ https://medium.com/thrive-global/three-hacks-to-boost-your-frequency-af1a6c3887c2   Music: “Chorus” audio clip provided courtesy of NASA’s INSPIRE project: https://theinspireproject.org/default.asp?contentID=4 “Space Ambience Atmosphere” by Vilkas Sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp_0oMPGBZs  Theme song “Straight-Up Enigmas” was created by Chuck Flyer.   Proud member of Straight Up Strange Podcast network!
