Just a week after the video was taken, Vallow pulled her children out of school and said she was going to homeschool them.

JJ was last seen at school on September 23. The children were not reported missing until November, when JJ's family asked cops to perform a welfare check.

This was when Vallow and her fifth husband, Chad Daybell, bolted to .

Daybell told cops JJ was with his grandmother, Kay Woodcock - the person who asked local police to check on him, according to a probable cause affidavit.

That same day, Vallow claimed JJ was staying with a friend in Arizona who told cops she had not seen the little boy in months, court documents show.

Vallow and Daybell met while they were both married to other people but both of their previous spouses died in mysterious circumstances.

JJ's adopted dad Charles Vallow was shot dead by his brother-in-law Cox, who claimed it was self-defense.

Daybell cashed in on a $430K life insurance policy after his wife of 23 years, Tammy Daybell, suddenly died.

Cops have launched an investigation into the slew of deaths while Vallow maintains her innocence.

Hawaiian cops charged Vallow with two felony counts of desertion and non-support of dependent children on a warrant issued from authorities in Idaho on February 20.

She had previously defied a court order from Madison County on January 30 to produce her two missing children within days.

She is being held in the county jail until her 2pm court appearance tomorrow after being extradited from Kauai.
