This week, a retired FBI agent testified about multiple texts betweenLori Vallow DaybellandChad Daybellthat were found on Lori’s iCloud leading up to the death of her two children and Chad’s first wife.
J.J. and Tylee’s bodies were found buried in Chad’s backyard in June 2020.
Former FBI special agent Douglas Hart testified Monday that when someone’s rating was near zero or close to 100, that meant they were close to dying, according to theEast Idaho News.
In a text exchange between the couple on July 18, 2019, weeks before the children disappeared in September, Chad told Lori that Tylee was at 0.13 and J.J. was at 99.99.
“I turned up the pain to 10 and placed a spiritual virus in her,” Chad wrote, according to KPLC.
“He [J.J.] is at 99.99. Raphael visited him and told him to follow Amy into the light,” Chad wrote. “I also assured him that James would love and take care of his mommy, which he will with all of his heart and soul.”
“That is sweet!,” Lori replied. “I miss you desperately.”

‘Still Feeling Hot for You’
On July 30, Chad texted Lori that he was inspired “to go back to my original death percentages,” according to theEast Idaho News.
On that day, Chad texted Lori: “Tammy is very close. Her percentage has fallen steadily since Hiplos [a dark spirit the couple believed in] left. It is encouraging!”
“What s the percentage now?,” Lori asked. “What about jjs too?”
“Tammy is at 3,” Chad responded. “JJ is at 2. Both are being heavily shielded to stop intruders.”
“2 and 3 percent?,” Lori asked, according to theEast Idaho News. “Not zero?”
“I will explain when we talk,” Chad responded.
“Ok,” Lori replied. “Still feeling hot for you.”
“Yes, we might need to release a little steam next time we meet,” Chad answered. “Anyway, this is the chart that checks what percentage mortals are still in their body. It worked for my friend’s wife who died, my neighbor, George Bush, Stan Lee, etc. I kind of forgot about it because we’ve been dealing with zombies and demonic entities. But this afternoon Tammy said she felt lightheaded, as if her body and spirit weren’t connected.”

‘Perfectly Orchestrated Plan to Take the Children’
Lori asked again on Aug. 10 if J.J. was close to zero.
“He was just up talking nonsense for like 2 hours last night,” she texted to Chad. “I’m sure they were bugging him. Is he at zero yet? I miss you.”
“Yes, he’s at zero,” responded Chad, according to theEast Idaho News. “He probably was partly through the veil, talking to people both light and dark.”
“Do you think there is a perfectly orchestrated plan to take the children?,” Lori asked. “And we just have to wait for it to be carried out? I feel lost like I should be doing something to help.”
“There is a plan being orchestrated for the children,” responded Chad. I was shown last night how it fit together, but it has been taken from my mind of course."
Chad added: “When I was sitting across from him eating bacon, I sensed he was barely attached to his body.”
