On Gilbert PD body cam footage, Charles Vallow is seen talking to officers, claiming that his then-wife, Lori Vallow, locked him out of the house. This was five months before Charles' death.
"As of tonight, we don't have a crime". He just told you she stole all of his clothes,stole his truck ,computer, furniture,35,00 from bank. If they would have taken his seriously, just maybe he would still be alive and the kids wouldn't be missing. If this was a woman reporting same things about her husband, they would have a warrant in their hand within an hour
I was just going to say basically the same thing. How is her stealing money from his acct. and taking his belongings and his truck not a crime. Wow, great job police.
Super distressing, just coming across this story. But I disagree on the help from police, having been in a similar situation. "He has the right to...." fill in the blank while they ignore the reality of the sociopathic nature of the "thing" a husband OR wife is doing.
They absolutely did especially the officer that just accepted the self defense story about the night he was shot. If her brother could walk away from him and go in the house to get a gun he could have locked the door and called the police instead. He's dead now too.
The whole family shut him down, except for Lori's brother Adam so they wouldn't talk to him either. They knew she had dangerous ideas unmoored from reality and they helped Lori twist Tylee's brain around so she wouldn't talk to Adam either.
I’m sorry, this isn’t a man that is enraged even during his most frustrating times! This is a man with empathy... Lori is the crazy one if you compare body cam videos at any point...
Just Me I agree, I just watched the longer one, and it’s just horrible! He said “what did I do?!” When he found out she was gone with the kids! He was fighting for his marriage...
Agreed. I don't believe for one second that he ever hit Alex Cox with a bat. This man is so calm during all of this after arriving home from a business trip with his truck gone, his bank account emptied and locked out of his own house. RIP Charles. You didn't deserve this.
Lori used to have empathy until her affair with Chad. All her friends used to say she was super kind and would do anything to help anyone. She and Charles genuinely were happy. But they said that Lori is gone.
@@troyterry6919 there are documents released from her divorce with Joe Ryan, Tylee's dad. It shows that she has always been like this. I don't understand how she could have gone through such a long and drawn out divorce with Joe, plus Charles ex-wife (which is just as crazy!) Without any of her friends or family knowing the details. It's disgusting that Lori and Charles was even able to legally adopt JJ and it's sad that so many failed Tylee and Colby, and even Charles 2 other kids.
If the roles had been reversed and he was the person saying all the all the abnormal statements,and the female still would have been out of control screeching and yelling the officers would have taken the man in.
Every single officer involved in this case from start to finish should be fired! The cops at his killing were neglectful last well and the kids would likely be alive had they done their JOB😡
These police officers are the WORST. No help whatsoever. Someone is telling you that their wife is insane and thinks his children are in danger and they don't seem to give a f*!$. Ridiculous.
This policeman surely did not put himself in Charle’s shoes. No crime? Does blood need to be dripping? The policeman playing semantics with the word”destroy”. Seemed like imminent harm to me. No ride home, no home to go to, no clothing or computer in his home, no truck, 7 dollars to his name because of money stolen, no children and missing wife. Welcome home. And still this man is calm. I cannot fathom his “rages” since we see him in a place and time where he could’ve been raging...and he was not even close to angry. Despondent and hurt, not mad.
So so sad he was trying so hard to save his family. 😢 Even though I know he is dead this hurts to watch him struggle. System sure failed him and the children
Sarah Ausbrook the only thing that comforts me with this entire case is that Charles, jj, and Tylee are all peacefully free and together and Tylee has her real dad joe too. It sounds awful to say but it does comfort me knowing that❤️
Missy Estep I know but he seems so defeated in this footage. It’s like he must have felt helpless and their was such a lack of action by Law a Enforcement in Chandler. I don’t know any Police Department that goes to a known shooting and domestic that would allow Alex not to be searched for a weapon. By the system failing Charles they failed to protect the children.
Sarah Ausbrook 1000000% Ive said from day 1 him and those kids would be alive if those police had taken this seriously like their job entails! It’s awful hearing him plea for help. Had this been a woman the man would’ve been in jail that night😡 it’s beyond frustrating.. then to not do a damn thing after his death and let Lori laugh it off.. those kids, Tammy, Charles were all murdered due to police negligence and I hope the families go after them!
Ya, I agree. It's crazy how many times Charles tried to warn the police. And now he's dead and the kids are missing. Tylee might be in the zone of death in Yellowstone, I just posted my video on this but I dunno it's not looking good. She threatened murder and the guy was murdered, it's so sad.
WOW POOR CHARLES HE TRIED SO HARD TO KEEP HIS CHILDREN SAFE HES A GREAT DAD FROM WATCHING THIS HIS LIFE WAS TAKEN & HIS CHILDREN ARE STILL NOT FOUND SUCH A HEARTBREAKING STORY
Maybe the cops will get there's some day for not helping this guy out. He was so calm and pleading. Earlier in the video he DID say that she said she would murder him.
Telling him to file a police report with other officers when they're on the scene. Telling him they don't have a crime, but there's a vehicle that may have been stolen. Makes sense.
When a car is stolen it needs to be reported to the agency that holds jurisdiction over the location where it was stolen. It’s not illegal for a husband or wife to use their spouses vehicle. It’s community property. They had nothing to work with here. No laws were broken.
@@unapologeticallyamy9031 How are they there if they're out of their jurisdiction? You can be married to someone without having the spouses name on the title of a vehicle. Communal only with consent from the owner.
The vehicle was stolen from Sky Harbor airport in the city of Phoenix. These are Chandler police. If the truck was stolen out of his driveway they could have filed a report. Now the missing person, they should have filled out a missing person and issued an Amber alert. The cops keep saying you "suspect" she took him. They should have said we don know where he is, let's get a report filed and an Amber alert right away. He already did a report to pick her up. What more can you do? Epic fail.
Incompetent fools!!! You should be a shame for not seeing the seriousness of the situation. What was next?!! You wanted Charles to write your report at your station too? And not being able to get a warrant for a welfare check at night is completely untrue. There is always a judge available who is willing to do it because there was possible cause to believe those kids were in danger. Your fault!!!
These officers should learn some basic compassion and lose the smug, patronizing God-complex attitude. This man is dead now. Who knows how the story could've gone differently had they taken him seriously.
So this is a man that has no idea where any of his vehicles are, doesn’t know where his kids are but was told to just keep them cause she doesn’t care, she takes $30,000 out of his account, she’s acting like a complete psycho while with their children and he still seems so soft!!!! If all of that happened to me I would be livid I would not be talking calmly. This is not a man that hits someone with a baseball bat.
I definitely believe his family when they've said he never lost his temper. I get more riled up while waiting in line at the local drive thru then he does when his wife runs off with his kids and his possessions. This whole story is the biggest tragedy. Just honestly breaks my heart.
There is a crime, money stolen, car stolen, all his belongings gone.....she's Made threats to him, children missing........what do they want.......Him dead first huh......
This was so hard to watch. A desperate man, who has had everything taken from him, begging that cop to help him and they act like it's no big deal. They showed zero compassion, zero care at all really. Shame on you!
police only deal with people breaking the law .. it is NOT illegal to be a loony LDS cult member ... unless the cops can find the dead bodies and evidence.
Children are missing- send tour Amber alert. Property/ truck missing- file stolen property and vehicle report. Wife threatens your life? Fill out an affidavit and she gets taken to the closest ER for psych eval. Why wasn’t anything done?
This is heartbreaking. He was backed against a wall, scared and virtually powerless. He couldn’t do anything w their help. He was worried for his kids. Rightly so.💔
There should be an investigation into all of the officials associated with these cases and WHY it took MONTHS to arrest the mother for not presenting the two children and why they did not connect all of these deaths! Mother should be jailed for life or executed.
Police need to start taking fathers more seriously! How many time’s have the police ignored their concerns and the mother or mother’s partner has killed the child. If a parent is concerned take it serious! Nothing will happen if it’s just paranoia , least it’s would have been checked and closed.
This is why it is so essential to marry someone that doesn't have a lot of baggage and is mentally sound. The law doesn't protect spouses from the otherwise criminal actions of their spouse. Charles might be alive today if Lori had been detained and held accountable for her actions. Different states have different laws, but one thing is for sure that Lori would not have continued on so boldly with her shenanigans if the police had been more assertive by contacting Lori and put her on notice. They could have helped Charles by investigating what had happened. Sure, they don't have any concrete evidence, but it is suspicious and deserving of an investigation by law enforcement.
I so much feel For this man , my ex stool € 40.000 out of my bank account toke my car and left me with 4 kids when i ask her about this she stabbed a knife through my hand , i had to spend 2 days in jail , she said i attacked her. Hurray For the smart cops
Are these the same cops that told Lori how to avoid the cops trying to pick her for the mental health hold? Maybe this was the night before, but the cops really are talking out of both sides of their mouth. They have no idea how to clock a psycho.
I also wonder, maybe if they would have looked up her name to make sure she didn’t have any warrants or anything just to see who she even is, maybe they could have seen that oh she’s been sued before for hiding her child from her previous husband.
This is sad he was let down by the system then and now her & CD should be in jail for his murder to. Maybe her brother was gonna speak up & had to be took out to. This is the strangest case.
the cop at end audibly sighing as if how dare this guy take up his time...its just civil. find that cop and lets retaliate and show him what civil means
Don't you guys know that when you're married there is no 'my property' or 'your property'? It is *our property!* That's why the officer announced, "As of tonight, we don't have a crime." These officers performed their duty as properly as they could at that hour of the night. If certain circumstances had been different, they could possibly have taken further action. Sadly, Lori Vallow used language that was ambiguous enough to not be considered directly threatening. She was acting abnormal but *had not yet* behaved in a way which she would be considered a danger to herself or others. Domestic disputes without violence or threats of physical harm *are civil case law* and not true police matters. Until something is agreed upon by the parties and/or a decision declared by a judge through court regarding custody of children and/or division of money, property, etc *both parties* have equal rights to all. These officers are hardly uncaring. There was, unfortunately, nothing more they could help Charles do that night besides advising him to follow up in the morning as they did. I'm sure they empathized with his plight. Also, those of you saying "if he was a female..blah, blah, blah..." Think again. The laws do not change simply because you're a mother. At least in my case, they didn't even with a domestic assault *and* my ex making a threat to kill himself, me, his son, and our infant daughter while he was laying on top of me, his hands around my throat, trying to strangle me. (At the time, I worked in a county department closely related and sometimes in relation to law enforcement.) I had to call the sheriff's department to leave the house with the baby. In court, my ex conceded he had assaulted me, driven under the influence with our baby in the car, and passed out w/a cigarette burning a large hole in the couch. Even so, *he still* received 50% custody, no child support. Oh, with the rule that he wasn't supposed to drink alcohol while our daughter was with him. Riiiiight. Hell, it's been 20 years *but am I bitter?* 🤣 🤣 You bet! Not for me, but for what my baby had to go through. Sorry, strangers. My case has been cited to help a lot of men gain custody. So, don't tell me women always have it easy!
Community Bridges screwed up too. They should have interviewed Charles and Lori together. Lori charmed the psychologists just like she charmed the Gilbert police. Narcissists are master manipulators.
I would like to know these officers were all provided training and identified where they made mistakes and how they could have responded differently. If it was a woman making the same claims, guarantee they would have arrested Charles.
I hope this officers feel like crap now,Normally they do not get served at night,what kind of crap is that? Shame on those who did unjust to this man. He did not have to die. At least she will pay now with her butt in jail and hopefully she or Chad never see the light of day.
This is just heart-breaking, knowing how hard Charles tried to get help. Just awful. The system let him and his family down.
"As of tonight, we don't have a crime". He just told you she stole all of his clothes,stole his truck ,computer, furniture,35,00 from bank. If they would have taken his seriously, just maybe he would still be alive and the kids wouldn't be missing. If this was a woman reporting same things about her husband, they would have a warrant in their hand within an hour
This is how they do it with the male...been through something similar. Other way around action is taken, I heard the same garbage go to court
SHAME ON THEM
I was just going to say basically the same thing. How is her stealing money from his acct. and taking his belongings and his truck not a crime. Wow, great job police.
100% true.
Super distressing, just coming across this story. But I disagree on the help from police, having been in a similar situation. "He has the right to...." fill in the blank while they ignore the reality of the sociopathic nature of the "thing" a husband OR wife is doing.
Heartbreaking... He just kept asking "What can I do?"...
He was such a gentleman. Extended a handshake to a cop who treated him like crap!
Right
They failed to serve and protect.
They absolutely did especially the officer that just accepted the self defense story about the night he was shot. If her brother could walk away from him and go in the house to get a gun he could have locked the door and called the police instead. He's dead now too.
приедь в рф и узнаешь, что такое служить и защищать
100%
Do you honestly think this man would hit his brother-in-law with baseball bat? He was a kind and gentle man. His love for J.J. proves it.
The whole family shut him down, except for Lori's brother Adam so they wouldn't talk to him either. They knew she had dangerous ideas unmoored from reality and they helped Lori twist Tylee's brain around so she wouldn't talk to Adam either.
I’m sorry, this isn’t a man that is enraged even during his most frustrating times! This is a man with empathy... Lori is the crazy one if you compare body cam videos at any point...
This is super hard to watch!! My heart breaks for him 💔💔💔

When this case finally goes to trial I hope the jury sees these videos.
Agreed,(and Amen).🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕
If the roles had been reversed and he was the person saying all the all the abnormal statements,and the female still would have been out of control screeching and yelling the officers would have taken the man in.
Nope. Community property state. You’re incorrect.

Missy Estep the paperwork from January 2020 now says Alex committed 2nd degree murder. Charles walked into an ambush that is 1st degree it was planned
Ya, I agree. It's crazy how many times Charles tried to warn the police. And now he's dead and the kids are missing. Tylee might be in the zone of death in Yellowstone, I just posted my video on this but I dunno it's not looking good. She threatened murder and the guy was murdered, it's so sad.
WOW POOR CHARLES HE TRIED SO HARD TO KEEP HIS CHILDREN SAFE HES A GREAT DAD FROM WATCHING THIS HIS LIFE WAS TAKEN & HIS CHILDREN ARE STILL NOT FOUND SUCH A HEARTBREAKING STORY
A GOOD MAN, and DAD.From a Dad in the UK.
This man is so calm and reasonable. He's the tire of man you wish we all had as neighbors.
This poor man. He didn't deserve this. RIP Charles.
Wow this PD absolutely failed this family, I pray they are held accountable some how. Shame on them, lazy cops
Maybe the cops will get there's some day for not helping this guy out. He was so calm and pleading. Earlier in the video he DID say that she said she would murder him.
This makes me tear up! Poor Charles!
So so so sad. He begged and pleaded basically for help. He was so failed. This PD is a fail.

Heartbreaking and frustrating, too.
I’ll bet none of the community bridges psychologists asked Lori who “Nick Schneider” is!
Charles has such a calm demeanor even in a tough situation. I hope Lori pays for what she did to him.
Honestly the way he’s even talking in this hurts my heart. And how he keeps asking what can I do.... freaking heartbreaking.
This is sooo FRUSTRATING!! These officers failed to protect this man and his children from a psycho
Incompetent fools!!! You should be a shame for not seeing the seriousness of the situation. What was next?!! You wanted Charles to write your report at your station too?

Poor bloke. Really feel for him. Seemed like a good guy. Rest in peace dude.
So this is a man that has no idea where any of his vehicles are, doesn’t know where his kids are but was told to just keep them cause she doesn’t care, she takes $30,000 out of his account, she’s acting like a complete psycho while with their children and he still seems so soft!!!!

Poor babies bicycles in the back ground, same ones captured on the video from the storage space 😪🙏🏻

😞
Lawless Police! They just don’t want to deal with it!!
police only deal with people breaking the law .. it is NOT illegal to be a loony LDS cult member ... unless the cops can find the dead bodies and evidence.
Children are missing- send tour Amber alert. Property/ truck missing- file stolen property and vehicle report. Wife threatens your life? Fill out an affidavit and she gets taken to the closest ER for psych eval. Why wasn’t anything done?
No crime? She stole the money from his business account! WTF???
Cop: "Normally we dont do this after 10pm"
Blood Started To Boil At That Moment!!
Charles was gold! Now how the f does this make any sense... he’s gone and Lori is here. Smh
This is heartbreaking. He was backed against a wall, scared and virtually powerless. He couldn’t do anything w their help. He was worried for his kids. Rightly so.💔
So they planned to kill him so she could go off the kids? She needs a nice cell mate 😈
What if he just said my wife and kids are missing. We saw how the Fredrick PD handled the Watts case. That’s how this should have been handled.
The Feral Progressive I think you can be assured that it was Shannan’s friend Nicole that broke that case
Yep they don't seem to care.......just no care factor
Mrs. John Johnson
The Town Of Gilbert sold out long ago & the Gilbert Police are useless. This is one of many examples sadly.
So if the shoe was on the other foot things would be a lot different !!!!!!!!!
I kinda have to agree with you
This man was killed in July 2019. He's gone. His wife's brother killed him
We know. What is your point?
at least he got karma from own sister ..lol
Epic failure, Officers. Women can be as vile as a man when it comes to planning and carrying out a murder.
Theres two people explaining she needed mental help and this is the response they get.
OMG!! I can’t believe there’s nothing!! It’s after ten !! Travesty !!
Who reports a truck stolen when they know their wife has it?
Wow. What a caring, good man and gentle soul Charles was.
This is beyond heartbreaking to watch 💔
RIP Charles Vallow, JJ, Kylee & Tammy
🤍🕊️🤍🕊️🤍🕊️🤍🕊️
There should be an investigation into all of the officials associated with these cases and WHY it took MONTHS to arrest the mother for not presenting the two children and why they did not connect all of these deaths! Mother should be jailed for life or executed.
Sad
💔
This should teach you that revenue hounds do not care about you. Handle your own business.
Poor charles. He did everything right. He spoke up, he was worries about the children, and he still lost his life
I knew he contacted the Sheriff in Cali, regarding the lost business $$.
I have not seen the documents from Phoenix on the stolen truck report .
Police need to start taking fathers more seriously! How many time’s have the police ignored their concerns and the mother or mother’s partner has killed the child.
If a parent is concerned take it serious! Nothing will happen if it’s just paranoia , least it’s would have been checked and closed.
Handmaiden.
😢😞IMH&S,I hear the cries,from 3 innocents,(ALL TOGETHER NOW).🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕💕Their blood,IS crying out from the ground,for "JUSTICE."🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔎🧐👊👺😡🥶🔒💕💕💕

It's obvious what happened $$$
Not a direct threat to harm?? I bet they wish they would have taken this more serious now. She needs to be charged for killing Charles too.
I so much feel For this man , my ex stool € 40.000 out of my bank account toke my car and left me with 4 kids when i ask her about this she stabbed a knife through my hand , i had to spend 2 days in jail , she said i attacked her. Hurray For the smart cops
“We came here to do a welfare check to make sure your children are ok”
Children are missing from home. Leaves without laying eyes on children.😵🙄
They did nothing and 5 1/2 months later he's dead and his kids are missing.
Are these the same cops that told Lori how to avoid the cops trying to pick her for the mental health hold? Maybe this was the night before, but the cops really are talking out of both sides of their mouth. They have no idea how to clock a psycho.

Useless
These LE officers are acting like he's lucky they didn't arrest him! They dropped the ball big time!
Imagine if these cops had done their job right these people would be alive.
I hope this officers feel like crap now,Normally they do not get served at night,what kind of crap is that? Shame on those who did unjust to this man. He did not have to die. At least she will pay now with her butt in jail and hopefully she or Chad never see the light of day.
They justify it saying they followed the law, ofcourse it's them but that's the excuse they'll use. They said the warrest is written like that.
