Body camera footage shows dead husband of Lori Vallow Daybell say she wanted him dead

GILBERT, Arizona -- Newly released body camera shows the distraught father of 7-year-old JJ Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan months before their disappearance.

Charles Vallow, the former husband of Lori Vallow Daybell called the Gilbert Arizona Police Department in January 2019 after being unable to speak to his two kids for a couple of days. It's when police arrived that Charles told an officer about his wife's concerning beliefs.

"She's not here," Charles said in the video. "She lost her reality."

Charles told officers Lori considered herself a translated being and a God who spoke with an ancient prophet and Jesus daily. He said her strange beliefs were several years in the making but got increasingly worse.

"I love her to death, this is killing me officer," Charles said.

Even more concerning to Charles was Lori told him Nick Schneider took over his body and she would have to allegedly kill him. Charles said Lori told him "I can murder you now with my powers."

Charles told officers he called them fearing not only his safety but the safety of JJ and Tylee. He said earlier that day while on a business trip in Houston Texas Lori called him, telling him to take the kids.

When he landed at the airport Charles found his truck gone and Lori said she threw out all of his clothes. She also allegedly emptied their joint bank account that day. With the truck were also his keys to get into their home.

Body camera footage shows Charles, as well as officers, kicking in the door of the home. The video near and inside the home was blurred by police.

When the police came they had an order to have Lori picked up by officers for a mental health exam. They said typically they don't serve those orders during the night time and only came to check on the kids.

"The only reason why we're here is some of the statements that you made towards our dispatcher, that you provided to them ... he (an officer) made the discussion to conduct the welfare check to make sure your children are safe," an officer said.

Without any crime being committed police left the home.

The next morning Lori visited with officers to file a report against Charles Vallow. She then checked herself in for the mental health exam and was medically cleared.

Months later Lori's brother Alex Cox shot and killed Charles at a home in Chandler Arizona on July 11, 2019. By the end of September 2019, JJ and Tylee disappeared.
