Mom of missing kids invokes her 5th amendment right against self-incrimination

(NEWSER) – Lori Vallow, the mother of two Idaho children missing since September, was extradited from Hawaii to Idaho on a red-eye flight arriving Thursday, CBS News reports. On Wednesday, before that flight took off, Vallow invoked her fifth amendment right against self-incrimination, the Daily Beast reports. Her lawyer said Vallow should not be questioned on the trip to Idaho; the judge responded that once Vallow is in the custody of Idaho officials, the Hawaii court has no jurisdiction. "Yes, but I want to make a record of that so her Idaho attorney can suppress any statements they may try to elicit," Vallow's attorney said. An Idaho team was in Hawaii to take Vallow back to Idaho, where she will appear before a judge Friday.

She is facing charges including two counts of felony abandonment in the disappearance of her children Tylee Ryan, 17, and Joshua "JJ" Vallow, 7. Earlier this week the children's stepfather, Vallow's fifth husband Chad Daybell, insisted to ABC News that "the kids are safe." That statement came days after Daybell spoke publicly on the case for the first time last week; during that initial statement, he had said he "just can't comment" on where the children were or how they were doing. Vallow's attorney has said in the past that the reason she failed to produce them when a court ordered her to do so was fears they would be put into foster care. Vallow's adult niece has also been questioned in the convoluted case, and attorneys for her say she's now cooperating with FBI investigators and has turned over her computer.)

1. This story just gets worse and worse. Those poor children.

2. "The kids are safe"

Oregonians who remember Ward Weaver may recall his cryptic statement that missing juveniles Ashley Gaddis and Miranda Pond were where they wanted to be. A little while after that, the cops decided that Weaver knew more about the situation than he was telling. They got a warrant and started digging around (literally) on his property. The girls' bodies were found, Weaver was charged, tried, found guilty, and is currently a guest of the State of Oregon, Corrections Division.

This statement that "the kids are safe" sounds eerily like Ward Weaver.

3. Lori, don't you understand that by invoking the 5th you've already incriminated yourself?

5. You have the right to remain silent and

anything you say will be misquoted and used against you.
