After having met Chad Daybell, Lori Vallow's family noticed her changing significantly. Lori told her husband, Charles Vallow, that she was preparing for Jesus Christ's second coming, which she said would happen in July 2020, and warned Charles not to get in her way. Specifically, she believed she and Chad were part of the 144,000 people specially chosen to prepare for the task, as detailed in the "Book of Revelation," according to court documents (via Fox 10 Phoenix).

In January of 2019, Lori's husband begged her to visit a mental health facility, per the East Idaho News. She did but was quickly released despite claiming to be a "translated being." According to Fox 10 Phoenix, things then took a turn soon after, when Lori suddenly disappeared after liquidating hers and Charles' bank accounts, leaving Charles with nearly nothing. According to The New York Times, Lori had left her home for Hawaii, together with Daybell.

It was around this time that Charles filed for divorce, requesting sole custody of their adopted son, J.J., and received an order of protection. Charles later withdrew the petition for divorce but because of Lori's disappearance, he moved away from Arizona to Texas in order to protect J.J., per Fox 10 Phoenix.
