ARREST of Melani Boudreaux! Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell! Niece Melani Boudreaux Pawlowski was one of Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow's followers. She and Alex Cox were convinced that Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell were the chosen 144,000 from the book of revelations. Melani left her husband Brandon Boudreaux and their 4 children to move to Rexburg Idaho to be with Lori Vallow, Chad Daybell, and Alex Cox. Uncle Alex Cox allegedly shot Melani's husband Brandon Boudreaux on Oct 2, 2019. Thankfully Alex missed.  Brandon was extremely concerned about his 4 children and took them to his parent's home in American Fork Utah.  For some reason, while Lori and Chad were in Kauai, Hawaii getting married and planning everything, all while JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan were missing, Melani decided she needed to desperately see her children, or take them. Were they on the list to be the next victims of Chad and Aunt Lori? Alex Cox helps his niece Melani go to her ex-inlaws home and try to "see her children. However, Melani is cited for trespassing, and then has the nerve to return 2 nights later and she gets arrested and thrown in jail.  Enjoy the episode and please consider rating it 5 stars and giving a review!
