LORI Vallows has issued a statement in which she has maintained her innocence in relation to the disappearance of her two children.

The ‘Cult Mom’s’ move comes after two of her lawyers quit and the judge stood down from hearing the case, in which she faces five charges relating to her missing son and daughter.

Vallow’s daughter Tylee Ryan, 17, and 7-year-old son Joshua “JJ” Vallow have been missing since September and cops believe their lives are in danger.

They were reported missing in November and Vallow and her husband Chad Daybell fled to Idaho to Hawaii but she was arrested in February and extradited back to Idaho, where she is currently in jail.

The 46-year-old Vallow’s remaining attorney Mark Means released the statement, in which he referred to her by her husband’s surname, on Monday.

“As with any citizen of our Country, Mrs. Daybell is entitled to all the privileges and rights that accompany our cornerstone belief of innocents, until proven beyond a reasonable doubt otherwise,” the statement read.

“It is this innocence that Mrs. Daybell assertively maintains regarding all charges. Furthermore, Mrs. Daybell is guaranteed access to a fair and impartial judicial process.

MAINTAINS INNOCENCE

“There is no room in the process for conjecture, innuendos, and or speculation to alter this Constitutionally guaranteed process.”

Means filed a motion last week to have Judge Eddins removed from the case on the basis that he had already overseen a child custody case for JJ Vallow prior to the criminal charges.

In Idaho, a defendant can move to have the judge dismissed from their case and does not need to cite a specific reason so long as the request is filed in a timely manner.

The bizarre case involving Vallow, husband Chad Daybell and others stretches across several states and includes investigations into three mysterious deaths.

In August, Vallow moved from Arizona to Idaho, where Daybell lived with his previous wife, Tammy Daybell. She died in October.

In addition, Vallow’s estranged husband, Charles Vallow, was shot and killed by her brother Alex Cox in Phoenix in July.

Cox, who said the shooting was in self-defense, then died of unknown causes in December.

Vallow claims she is “a god assigned to carry out the work of the 144,000 at Christ’s second coming in July 2020,” according to divorce documents that Charles Vallow filed before he died.

 Judge Faren Eddins said during a phone hearing on Friday that he would remove himself from the case after Vallow's attorneys filed paperwork asking that he no longer preside over the case

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...
