Larry and Kay Woodcock cared for JJ Vallow for the first ten months of his life, after which Charles Vallow adopted him. The Woodcocks also claim that Lori became distant from her children in 2019. This was when she grew increasingly closer to Chad Daybell, even appearing in podcasts with him.

JJ Vallow was found buried in the backyard of Chad Daybell, along with the remains of Tylee Ryan. They were found after the police investigated the house after Lori and Chad were arrested.
With Judge Boyce ordering that no witnesses can stay for the testimonies unless they are victims and Lori Vallow trying to remove the Woodcocks during her court proceeding, which is to start from 3rd April, the couple is facing a tough battle.
The Woodcocks, with the help of their lawyers, have claimed that they deserve to be declared the victims in the murder of their grandson. Further, they have also said that Kay Woodcock is the only one who can represent JJ Vallow in court.
