Lori Vallow's Brother Leaves Fingerprints on Bag that Held Her Son JJ's Body
In a shocking twist in the case of Lori Vallow and her missing children, new evidence has emerged that links her brother, Alex Cox, to the death of seven-year-old JJ. According to a forensic scientist at the Idaho State Police, Tara Martinez, Cox's fingerprints were found on a piece of black plastic that JJ's body was wrapped in when it was buried.
Cox, who died in December 2019 of unknown causes, was previously identified as a key figure in the investigation into the disappearance of JJ and his sister, 17-year-old Tylee Ryan. The two children were last seen in September 2019, and their mother has been evasive about their whereabouts ever since.
The discovery of Cox's fingerprints on the plastic bag that contained JJ's body is a major development in the case, as it suggests that he played a direct role in the child's death. Investigators have yet to determine how JJ died, but they have already charged Vallow and her new husband, Chad Daybell, with multiple counts related to the disappearance and deaths of both JJ and Tylee.
Vallow and Daybell are currently facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder, first-degree murder, and grand theft, among other crimes. They have both pleaded not guilty to the charges, and their trial is set to begin in July of this year.
The discovery of Cox's fingerprints on the bag that held JJ's body provides new evidence that could strengthen the case against Vallow and Daybell. Prosecutors may argue that Cox acted on Vallow and Daybell's behalf when he disposed of JJ's body, which could help establish their guilt.
The piece of black plastic that held JJ's body was identified as coming from Judi Packaging, a company that specializes in retail packaging products. According to the company's website, Judi Packaging has been serving the packaging needs of retailers for over ten years.
Judi Packaging offers a complete line of retail packaging products that are readily available and offer the latest and most successful trends for a unique and customized look. The company's products include bags, boxes, wrapping paper, tissue paper, and ribbons, among other items.
It is not clear how the black plastic that held JJ's body ended up at the crime scene, or whether Vallow, Daybell, or Cox had any connection to Judi Packaging. However, the fact that the bag was identified as coming from a specific company could provide investigators with new leads in the case.
The discovery of Cox's fingerprints on the bag that held JJ's body is just the latest development in the complicated and disturbing case of Lori Vallow and her missing children. As the investigation continues, prosecutors will likely use this new evidence to build a stronger case against Vallow and Daybell, and to bring justice for JJ and Tylee.
