Lori Vallow’s brother stun-gunned her third husband & threatened to murder him years before he killed her fourth husband
LORI Vallow's brother served prison time for attacking her ex-husband with a stun gun.
Alex Cox even threatened to murder the cult mom's third husband Joseph Ryan - 12 years before he shot dead her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, in what he claimed was an act of self-defense.
Ryan was walking to his car in August 2007 when Cox approached him after waiting for him to leave the facility.
asked Ryan if he knew who he was before pulling out a stun gun and shooting him in the shoulder according to the Affidavit for Warrant of Arrest and Detention obtained the The Sun.
Family members also say that Vallow refuses to turn over the children because she might lose custody, a concept she showed a total disregard for back in 2006 according to her ex-husband.
"He went out of his way to make a point when he would spank me and weird things like little hits on the head, and thought it was funny," Colby said while appearing on .
"So there was just a lot of things like that."
He is the son of Vallow and her second husband, William Lagioia.
Colby also said that has provided him with no information about his sister Tylee or what her intent was in hiding his sister and half-brother JJ from authorities.
He is a father himself, and even got a chance to speak with his mother after she was extradited to Idaho from Hawaii.
Colby has not revealed the nature if their discussion and instead continues to call out his mother for not cooperating with authorities.
Joseph Ryan died in 2018 under mysterious circumstances, and Vallow is now a person of interest as police probe his death.
Colby meanwhile is still hoping to reunite with his siblings.
He wrote a message for his sister and JJ on Facebook back in December
"I pray for you both everyday. I always have to ask how is this possible? You both mean so much to me. My heart is broken over all of this. I’m going to speak with our mom," said Colby.
"I need to know what is happening with you both. Just know I love you with all of my heart.
"I’m here to stand up for you. I won’t leave no matter how hard this gets. I love you Tylee and JJ."
