What Alex Cox revealed days before he died and the unusual massage he gave his wife

- The day after Alex Cox and Zulema Pastenes were married in Las Vegas, he offered to give her a massage.
It was Saturday, Nov. 30, 2019 in the middle of the day. Cox, a massage therapist, had never given Pastenes a massage and said they needed to go to Walmart first to buy a large plastic drop cloth commonly used for painting projects.
They purchased the item, returned to their room and he spread the cloth over the bed. Pastenes remembers lying down and quickly falling asleep.
“I was really, really (relaxed) - like when you’re trying to wake up and can’t,” Pastenes recalled. “I was thinking, ‘Why am I so relaxed and can’t wake up?’ I was in and out and could hear him talking and I was like, ‘Who is he talking to?'”
Pastenes said it sounded like Cox was chatting with somebody on the phone in the bathroom. When she was finally able to wake herself up, she asked her new husband who he had been talking to.
“He’s like, ‘Nobody. I was talking to myself,'” Pastenes said.
She took a bath and then suggested to Cox that they should watch a movie together. He was doing something on his phone and acted “super quiet.”
“Alex is usually joking and he would find a way to turn things into a joke. He was always making you laugh but he said nothing for the rest of the evening,” Pastenes said. “I asked if he was ok and he said, ‘I’m just tired.’ The fact he was quiet and said nothing - that’s so not Alex. Alex is not quiet.”
Pastenes explained the unusual events of that day to detectives from the Rexburg Police Department and Fremont County Sheriff’s Office who met with her for two hours this past April in Arizona. The interview, which you can watch in its entirety at the end of this story, was videotaped and part of several recordings, documents, videos and other files released Wednesday from the Chandler Police Department.

The department has been investigating the death of Charles Vallow, Lori Vallow Daybell’s fourth husband who was shot and killed by Cox in July 2019. Lori married Chad Daybell four months later, weeks after Chad’s wife, Tammy Daybell, died in her sleep.
Lori’s two children, Joshua “JJ” Vallow and Tylee Ryan, were found buried on Chad’s property in June 2020. The couple is facing multiple charges in connection to JJ, Tylee and Tammy’s deaths, and police reports suggest Cox was involved. Lori has also been indicted in Arizona for conspiracy to commit murder in Charles’s death.

The detectives met with Pastenes and her attorney Garrett Smith to follow up on earlier statements she had made to them in regards to Chad, Lori and Cox.
“At the time (of the massage), I had no question about it,” she told them. “There was not enough oil for a drop cloth (and) now I’m like, ‘Why would you necessitate a whole drop cloth all over the bed to give me a massage?’ That doesn’t make any sense to me at all … Maybe I’m just a little too crazy because of all the stuff that’s happened, but in the back of my mind I keep thinking that who was on the phone was Chad and Lori and that was supposed to be my last day.”
Pastenes doesn’t remember eating or drinking anything unusual that afternoon and said it was the only time Cox ever gave her a massage.

This woman knows way more than she lets on. I believe both Melanies do also.
Not even shaken on the 911 call made! They were newlyweds and she didnt care! About as crazy as a mom not knowing where her kids are! Obedient mormons/ LD$
That is not Melanie. Zulema. Alex's wife for a short time.
Zulema. Alex's wife "when he died"
She is a bit coucou..
@@jolenedelilys2589 I don't see where @tjm8128 said it was melanie.
Curious how people in these families stopped dying and getting shot at after Alex died and Chad and Lori were behind bars. Curious indeed.
Because They were the ones committing the crimes!!!!! That's whY they are Behind bars Now!
I think he may have been planning on killing her too, but got cold feet for some reason.
True
@@j4kgang921 sarcasm?
@@wendyhocker7016 Maybe Alex FINALLY felt some guilt. Maybe.
Alex Cox, truck driver, stand up comedian, killer(probably serial at that) , and a massage therapist; what a guy.
and killer of two tiny dogs he dumped in the desert because lori was tired of them....add that one to long list
omg you are soooo right !!! that’s so funny!
He was a renaissance man
He was a massage therapist? Wth? His hands should be therapeutic.
Lool
Let’s not forget, Zulema is just as crazy as the rest of them… She believes she can create *earthquakes*, that’s the “power” she believes she has. Also she’s besties with Lori & to me it seemed like her marriage with Alex was arranged like the rest.
they was rolling over each like a bunch of hamsters, it was a sanctified swingers cult. I heard that Lori had one hell of a libido. wonder who she was doing when she dissappeared for that forty day period.
Who else's marriage was arranged?
@@johngillon6969 😳
Oh my earthquakes 🤣
I can't help but laugh at how bat shitz crazy these people are. I'm just glad the 144k's recruiting and their murder spree did not go any further, enough lives were lost already.
@@johngillon6969 …..literally what is wrong with you?
She knows way more than she is saying. Remember she called her brother at the hospital and had gotten a lawyer right away.
Yep way more she is a liar too
I think she is trying to paint herself as a victim so they won’t look too hard at her involvement.
She is a liar, I wouldn’t trust her.
@@mstellla5407 wasn't she friends with Lori???
She ended up with that $7k Lori stole from Charles didn't she?
This lady…..just lost her husband and is just casually talking and laughing, like all is well….this whole family is diabolical 😏
Exactly, they didn't even know eachother very long, so therefore she didn't know him well... imo anyway. I just now found this video in my watch later 😂 I didn't know he had her lay on plastic for the massage, 😳 that's crazy.
She is lying. She didn’t even tell her son they were married. She is as guilty as the rest of the cult.
Yeah I agree and they probably bought the plastic Hawaii on the bed and she laid on it to make sure that it was big enough for a body to be wrapped in it trying to explain her skin cells on it
@@amyyoung2043 never thought of that. But you could be into something
I think they're all going to start throwing each other under the bus. They say incriminating things about everybody else, but they leave their part out of it. They all LOVE to talk though, so its just putting all the matching pieces together.
@@amyyoung2043 she may have bought the plastic sheet or had him to. Wonder if he was on it when he died?
You can't trust anyone with any association with Lori or Chad.
🙌🏼
And Ms Zoo lema knew what they had all done but abruptly married Alex anyway because she's part of it!!
Watching her and Melanie Gibbs interview makes me see just how Kooky these women are! They talk all whole lot but say nothing!
Word salad
MG said plenty but only when she became afraid to be an accomplice to the vanishing of the children. She turned into the wind, to save her ass, and appeared, analytical to boot. That phone call with Lori and Chad, where she tried very hard to make them "talk" as they were recorded ; the criminal duo could smell, she was in synch with the cops.......They picked it up......but it was too late..They had been exposed.
@@linanicolia1363 She also signed Alex's death warrant when she told Lori what Alex told her about the children.
melanie gibbs did nothing wrong. i am dianne. my husband is peter
Stop!!I was just going to leave the SAME COMMENT!!! Word 🥗
She knew about what they were planning to do to Charles. Her story is suspect 🤔. She's was still supporting all of them after Tylee and JJ were missing/dead. I wouldn't trust anything she says.
I agree!
I don't trust her.
She was at lories pool party celebrating vallows death. why not ? At that time they got away w murder.
Planning to do to Charles? He was killed prior to the children going missing. It’s late, I may be misunderstanding your comment. Please correct me if I have misunderstood.
@@unapologeticallyamy9031 She was supporting Lori, Chad, niece Melani, after Charles died and when the kids were missing.
I believe that when Lori and Chad realized Alex was a loose end, they told Zulema to poison him. And the reason they gave Zulema was the same as for other murders they’ve committed- Alex was becoming a zombie.
I've always said that Zulema somehow poisoned Alex and that's how he died.
@@lindarobinson2125the record of the 911 call made by her son is available, anyone who works in a medical field will immediately recognize symptoms of acute poisoning described in that call. Pink foaming at the mouth was one of them, same as what Chad’s wife Tami was found with.
I agree with this
I was wondering if he didn't kill himself, he knew when they exhumed Tammy it would be over. It is possible that Zulema did it, but I almost think he killed himself.
@@MissMolly3377 considering the circumstances of his death, I doubt he killed himself. That was an exceptionally bad way to go, also poisoning is a highly unlikely method statistically. If he was suicidal, he’d probably use a gun.
She is deep in this as Alex, Lori and Chad. Don't believe her for one second.
SHe's extremely powerful. She can start up an earthquake with the blink of an eye.It's a wonderful gift.
@@iangallager4091 uuuuuuuu
She needs to be locked up with the cult leaders
The two Melanies are also involved I believe as well only one decides to testify against them to save her own ass.
You can bet your bottom dollar that Zulema , or however her name is spelled, knows more than she is letting on. She was in that cult as deep as the rest of them, so I really wouldn’t believe much of what she is telling LE! She may not have been in on the murders personally, but being around those people you can bet she knows something !
Seeing the questions Chandler PD are asking Zulema, and the ridiculously obvious questions they are not asking her... I now understand why it took SO LONG for Chandler PD to consider Charles' murder, a murder. In my mind there is NO EXCUSE and, while I back the blue, I believe had Chandler PD acted expeditiously, and followed up as they should have, Tylee, JJ and possibly Tammy would still be alive.
I agree 💯 💯 💯 they failed everyone !
Plus, it’s been found that zulema knows all the background criminal activities going on with Cox family and she participated. She was at Lories pool party celebrating Vallow’s death. They acted like a swingers group and had affairs while planning murders for life insurance money.
It’s like a rabbit hole.
EXACTLY
true
@@dorisjames3170 what person in their right mind attends a pool party after someone is shot to death and it is the wife of the person killed who gives the party. This is something off of SNL. They are all part of the cult.
Lori called zulema before Alex died and she told her that Alex was sick. I don’t know how Lori knew it. Zulema was part of this cult, I believe.
He had called chad and asks him to pray with him . He was making baskets for Lori , for something . I wonder if she gave him a poison cookie or something
Whether she was a part of the cult, she was not the murderer.
She was in deep, there are many text messages from Zulmina to Lori that she kept dreaming she had a calling to be Lori s protector and Zu asking Lori how she could be a part of things , Lori said she hard to have something useful to the group. That’s when Zulema said how about my skill of controlling the weather ? She also had some other skills. This cult stuff is all so crazy but Zulema was practically begging Lori in so many texts it must have been clingy .She acts now like she has forgotten all this stuff & she didn’t know it was all going down she offered Lori in texts to “help “her with Charles if Lori needed. Now she’s cutting herself a deal? Wow.pathetic.
yes she had been a junkie who was "saved " by her mentor Chad. These people grasp any straw and become total puppets , loyal to their " savior". I think it is how she sees Chad. She has no truth.....just their lies.......
@@linanicolia1363 i didn't know she knew chad i thought she met chad through lori
She seems guilty. Trying to prove her innocence by talking a lot.
Alex died just as mysteriously as Tammy daybell. I think the trick was on him in the end.
I agree. Alex had outlived his usefulness. All obstacles had been disposed of. Now he knew too much.
Alex was the last witness to Charles death. Everyone else was dead...and Alex was a threat. He knew too much!!
i disagree im pretty sure he took his own life
Alex would have done anything Lori asked him to do & he believed all her cultish nonsense. She (Lori) could have told him that he had work to do on the "other side" & convinced him to kill himself..or Zulema poisoned him, with or without his knowledge. Zulema knew about herbs & potions & they had visited a "Pharmacy" in Mexico just a few days prior to Alex's death. Zulema could have bought the ingredients for poison there or the trip to the "pharmacy" could have been a ruse & Zulema made a little side trip to a bruja Lori brujo to buy poison.
@@jamiemckenna3668no, the medical examiner would have figured that out.
I still have questions!?
1. Why did Alex change his last name to yours?
2. I always thought Zulema got immunity bc she killed Alex...why did you get immunity? Zulema assisted ex step son in committing suicide, I feel in my heart there is more to this story not that he came back from MX...I feel he died the same way Tammy died.
3. How come you didn't tell your kids you were married to Alex? Reference 911 call Alex dying, son did mot know.
4. Did you get life insurance from Alex death?
👍🏽
Also, who requested Alex to be cremated?
@@garthg.6150 I think Lori learned her lesson by Chad not having Tammy cremated and the officials being able to go back and exhume her body. If Alex was cremated she was going to make sure they wouldn’t be able to go back and exhume his.
@@nickymoss2008 I remember reading Lori wasn't even at Alex's funeral. There was probably a last will where he wanted a burial.
Yeah, she knew everything. She knew about Charles before he died. I don't trust her at all. This interview is giving me the creeps.
East Idaho has done a wonderful job covering this for the entire length that this stuff has been going on
I can't get over how many times she repeats herself. Seems like she is using a distraction method used by guilty people being interrogated.
Repetition can come from nervousness, mental disorders, and programming behaviors. That’s a big spectrum. That said, the level of repetition threw some red flags up for me, as well. She also displayed somewhat inappropriately jovial and dramatic behavior. Seemed like she really wanted them to agree with her. I find that odd, but I’m not in her shoes. Explaining isn’t the same as recalling. 🤔
@@sunflower7045 - She also played with her hands a lot, like she was washing them over and over, or applying lotion to them. Between the hands always going and her fidgeting in the chair, she was making ME nervous. I think she was very nervous, very "eager to please" the cops, and I also thought she was speaking in a very child-like voice, as if to make herself seem child-like and appealing.
Yeah, she is creepy.
All lies in my view.
Her hands are telling a story that we wont know until one of those experts get a chance to do a video on this woman. Wow. Keep rubbing your hands and wrists honey…
She talks a lot like Lori. Her voice inflection and rhythm are very similar.
Creepy, isn't it?
@@jamieingels1190 tbh a lot of close friends and couples talk alike. But in this case it is creepy because of the cultist vibe of Lori and her associates.
Her Friend Melanie talks the same way too.
Yes!
Many people involved in cults start behaving, speaking and displaying similar mannerisms as each other - its called contagion of aberration & ius designed to keep one "trapped". I know - I used to be in one myself (Scientology). Looking back on it now, I am humiliated at the thought of some of the stuff I believed and the way I behaved at times.
I wonder if she’s trying to explain away her DNA that is apparently on some tarp???
Probably
She is a liar....loud and clear...making up "believable stuff" while seeming comfortable and naive. Surely the cops know she is making all that stuff up......
That’s not accurate, the tarps the children were wrapped in is already in the ground with the kids by the time this alleged massage happened. Please don’t perpetuate false narratives and speculation. Stick to the facts.
@@animaanimus8011 true
@@animaanimus8011 what i wonder is…maybe he planned on killing her in that moment but her waking up kinda screwed things up, explaining why he was dead silent. he knew what was about to happen and was caught beforehand so there’s a level of guilt but also fear of “what if she knows what i was planning?” idk just a theory? its all a little TOO suspicious
It really doesn’t make sense why he’d marry her that day and kill her unless she had life insurance and didn’t know. She has to be really naive. Buy a drop cloth for a massage in a hotel??? You can just use a towel. I’m curious why she didn’t question it
She said she didn’t add Alex to any life insurance policy. But maybe Alex took a life insurance policy out on her without her knowledge?? Can people do that? Also, they might have just been trying to get rid of her to tie up loose ends. She knew a lot.
@@ackhak yes you can buy life insurance without them knowing.
@@ackhak There have been cases of fraud regarding life insurance. Two women purchased policies to cover a few homeless people they hardly knew and had the homeless people killed. Thankfully someone figured it out.
She knows WAY more.....this is b.s. just her trying to paint herself sweet,innocent as almost a victim herself possibly......"oh look at me all vulnerable getting oiled and massaged oooh yeah baby a minute milileter more possibly of my water I drink from my cup ...maybe.... possibly...just think guys ......think about me all vulnerable my body right there on plastic...getting a massage ...all drowsy.....hmmmmm..so sleepy my body on that big plastic sheet you get from walmart to catch paint ....drifting.....imagine me trusting in Alex..who was so funny making jokes...me asleep.SO RELAXED....

Damage control and her a$$ saving attempts to distance herself with her bonds of friendship plus matching goofy demonic new agey self preserving PRIDEFUL RELIGIOUS beleifs she shared with Lori !
He was measuring how big a tarp he would need to get rid of a body.
This lady was a very good friend to Lori. She is definitely trying to deflect to give the impression SHE was A potential victim, not her husband. Wonder if they were able to confirm that call on Alex phone for that day/time?
Yes to this. Why else ask for immunity? Why would he marry her to kill her the next day without benefits? There is no reason
@@joncrane7661 they were religious devotees and believed the world was coming to an end, and somehow they were important enough to be in on it, and to assist by taking people out before the bad end, like as a favour. However, we do see that there was a lot of focus on money, gaining money, so in some cases it seems that money and the power of doing murder as a domination also figured in the plan.
@@joem7799 and law enforcement completely oblivious. What is really going on here between these murders and cops failing so badly ??
I think the final plot twist was that Alex, the most loyal member of the group willing to kill all the zombies turned out to be a zombie himself and they murdered him.
@Giving Gifts l think he behaved as a false prophet, and the woman was willing to sacrifice anything for him. Think on the persuasive characters of false prophets. Hitler was one!
Zulema giving her “hey look I’m a victim too” statement-spare me! My opinion, she is as
guilty as Melanie P and Melanie G - I think they all knew what Lori was doing
She has the maturity level of a 12 year old, like Lori.
Meliani Gibb as well.
They’re all personality disordered.
They all has this child acting all prepared to act this way just incase someone got arrested. The weman are more smarter and will hold up to their oath.
Your not a smart person. They don’t have the maturity of 12 year olds. Are you kidding? They are diabolical. They are very smart and know exactly what they’re doing.
You’re
She talks so much better in this interview. Not unlike the one in the court room
Um what umm

Yes but still very annoying with the ums uhs and kinda likes. This story is not very believable. She probably was told by Chori what to say.
I call it the the ignorant little Foreigner im
innocent.* technique. Then add in the high girlish voice. Then add broken english .
I think that for whatever reason, Lori and Chad wanted her dead and Alex wouldn't do it. He prepped everything but didn't go through with it. And maybe in Lori's eyes that signaled a rebellion on part of Alex and her and Chad decided he must go too. And so when Tammy's body was exhumed they hurried up and killed him the next day
It sure sounds like that.
She is deflecting.
Wow for somebody who just lost her husband she sure is upbeat and throwing him under the bus
He died in 2019, this is a recent interview.
This interview just happened in April of this year
Still, way too upbeat for sure.. Weirdo..
Oh thanks for the input I thought it was right after he was killed I mean sorry he died that makes a little more sense
@@StellaFl Still wouldn't she have some emotion in talking about her beloved. Nope! She's going to say anything to save her own azz.
It's kill or be killed in that group. I'm still not so sure that Zeluma didn't kill Alex.
😵🥺😳
Same here, I wouldn’t blame her for doing so either, but I still wonder if she was under Lori’s spell & Lori actually had zulema kill Alex- for them.
I was thinking Chad/Lori somehow killed Alex or he killed himself
Exactly. The weird, inappropriate timing of the marriage in light of the circumstances and then his death so soon after. Also the derogatory way she is speaking about him.
These women are all so strange and so similar in many ways.
Grover Monster duh 🙄 😂 there’s only 2 options someone killed him or he killed him self .. doesn’t take rocket scientist to figure that out 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Holy shit. Having followed this case since it came out on the news I would totally question that night she recalled. Who puts plastic down on the bed on their “honeymoon”? I’d be like what the actual fuck dude.
This woman is such a liar and Lori the whole entire time for what praying for Charles's demon to leave his body yeah right she knows exactly what happened how it happened and why it happened
I got the chills listening to this interview. This horrendous story is scary!
Yeah them damn people was crazy every last one
Right? Just being around them the crazy would get to a person. That’s why it cracks me up; people commenting and trying to make sense out of this craziness, they made everyone in their way into “dark demons” and zombies to justify their murders.
Thank you for underscoring this part of the interview. The story of the massage with the oils atop the tarped bed...I can't stop thinking about it. There is an interview, (on TH-cam), with a former follower ofJulie Rowe. She also spoke of a massage with oils. She expressed a similar experience as a result of a massage given by another member of their community.The woman explained how she felt 'strange,' as if drugged during the 'therapy.' It was eerily simillar to what Zulema described.
So some sort of drug absorbed through the skin? Wonder if LE located and tested Alex's massage oil.? That would explain her coming to and fading out of consciousness: unpredictable dosage.
That’s right. I remember hearing that too now that you said it. Wow.
What I’m trying to figure out is why would they want to kill zulema? It is weird that this happened the day after they got married. I’m curious if there was some life insurance on her and she just didn’t know it. 🤷🏻♀️
I wonder if she heard Alex put on gloves before the massage??
@@brenantube5802 she may be lying about this one. She, among all others, is still alive
She knows alot!She have imunity??Remember she was in the cirkel with Lori and Gibb.I think SHE gave HIM a massage!
Also another fact… she says day before or two days before Alex tells her there in money in the closet, it’s for you incase something happens…. And she says she has looked in that bag so many times and only thing she can remember is only the headphones in it, and also….. she doesn’t know if there was $5k or to 7k in the bag??? I think I would know!
It's weird that Zulema says Lori would know about their insurance. Who got Alex's insurance money?
I guess I should have read your comment before posting mine...😁
I dont really, I talk to my siblings about important stuff like that. But I've seen families destroyed by a death
She did. She sells insurance for a living.
@@eleanoraquitaine2966 omg! So no dought Alex had life/death insurance! Sold to him by his wife??? Hadn't t they been married just a few weeks?

Legend has it, Alex massaged Zulemas pocketbook on a daily basis
Zulema supposedly was the woman that controlled Earthquakes.
Avoiding death by poisoning may be her latent super power.
@@mtaylor7307 I think that she is just as evil as Lori and Chad.
Yet she created exactly zero of them so far! Ha ha
@@user-jy3zl2vp4b there was a 5.7 in Utah and they all think she made it. You are exactly right she has made zero earthquakes.
I think she's enjoying herself being part of the big adventure
I wonder why they didn’t ask about what happened to the plastic.. because he could have also bought it there so that they could use it later and not worry about them seeing him at a local place buying his murder kit. Just saying.
No. The implication was that he had Zulema already ON the drop cloth so that should there be blood or such it was an easy clean up. It wasn't for later use. It was so that he could kill Zulema while she was getting the massage. I know it's hard to hear her at times, but you can see clearly it devastates her to think of it but she clearly thinks that was the case.
Well why didn't he go through with it? Not that he should have, 🤣but I'm just curious. 🤔
@@pyrografix actually O E has a point. If it wasn’t his plan to kill Zulema that day, he could have set whole massage thing up to make the plastic being used seem normal/like a normal purchase to have for later use- if he & Lori + Chad used that same plastic in murdering others. With these people anything is possible. I do feel it was most likely about killing zulema or at least getting her to sleep so he could talk privately, but really never know!
@@crazylicious85 - Exactly! He bought that with her so she would not question why he had a tarp.
That’s exactly what I was thinking
I know she had something to do in Alex's Death. Nobody need be punished for that in my opinion...That slime bucket will never be missed...But, This woman is a follower of Chad and Lori's Doomsday culture so, you be the judge. He was another loose end that needed silencing
In what way was she involved? Do you know one of the investigators?
@@unapologeticallyamy9031 if you follow the story. You can see they are all in it together it's literally a cult. I agree with the post. Noone will miss him. He choose his path.

@@bear420bear I agree ! I wonder how much life insurance Alex had?
This woman is lying. She grins and laughs with real duper's delight when there is NOTHING to smile or laugh about in this entire situation just like Lori when Alex shot Charles and she talks and talks like she's being so cooperative and forthcoming but in fact, she's hiding behind a mountain of word salad trying to pretend that SHE is some kind of victim in this? I'm not buying what shes selling.
After seeing the texts between her and Lori, then this interview? I totally agree that Zulema was telling half truths to look like she was an innocent potential victim as well. I think she was way more involved, and knows much more that she was telling the police. And I'm struck by how much law enforcement actually knew. If they had acted faster, after Charles was shot, maybe those poor children and Tammy Daybell would still be alive. I feel they have some part in three, truly innocent lives being lost to these crazy cult members
Absolutely, she is 100% part of this. She worked for Lori and Chad. She is just more sad enough. Involved with Alex's murder. Probably collected life insurance on him. Also he had a bag of cash for her, just in case.
In my opinion, Alex drugged her with something. He was going to kill her and he couldn't. He was quiet... because it brought back memories of what he did to Tylee with Lori...so sick.
But this was right after they married..the kids were alive. There would be no reason to kill her yet
@@joncrane7661 true, it would've been hasty, but there's a running theme of them trying to get money by killing spouses. I doubt there were any life insurance policies or anything, but if they had any shared assets as a dating couple..that would carry over to marriage or something right?? idk
@@joncrane7661 Unless it was a dry run on how to kill Tylee and JJ. Remember Tylee was a big girl so drugging her to knock her out completely would be fraught with complications regarding the amount of drug to administer for the purpose of making sure she did not wake up!
@@joncrane7661 They married November 29 2019. Tylee was killed Sept 9th and JJ was killed one day before Tylee's 17th birthday Sept 29th. Lori and Chad were already married as well. I believe Tammy's body was exhumed on December 12th and Alex died the next day.

@@katiekane5247 you have more faith in her than I do. She is just like the rest of them!
In case you haven't seen this interview: th-cam.com/video/c19gdPm9j7M/w-d-xo.html
That's creepy 😳
Lies.
Sham marriage. Shady lady.🤢
She was only married to Alex for a number of days. Did/does she receive Survivor benefits from SSA?
So this is the woman who wrote to Lori, telling Lori she was her personal protector and "warrior"....hmmm, did Zulema take out Alex to protect Lori the day after the announcemènt Tammys body was being exhumed...The need to silence the family hitman, Alex, requiring a "warrior" to protect Lori.....
Look like it. Con is playing her game right in front of our eyes.
All I know is I dont trust this woman. I think she knew more tha she's admitting.
Yep yep
How much $$$ was in this for Zulema when Alex died? Life insurance, Social Security Spousal Benefits, Pension funds???
Always follow the money with these Killers!
Chads wife • dead
Lori’s husband • dead
Zeluma’s husband • dead
Dont get fooled by the con artiest☹️SMH
Right? Just like orange man bad....check that after tax time
So many dead people in close family range. I have zero dead people. My siblings, my hubs siblings, their spouses, my Ex’s siblings and their spouses, my children and their spouses, my folks-all alive. Lori starts with a dead sister (???) and I’d look a little harder at Joseph Ryan’s death. Melanies husband had a shot at his life. Way too many dead people here!
What a nut case!!! I don’t believe a word she said.
Anyone catch that... (The OIL) maybe Malachite oil...
I think that's toxic oil maybe
These detectives have their hands full figuring everything out. Lots of criminal activity by lots of criminals.
No they are just hearing stories to see what these people will say. These people think they've out smarted authorities when they don't realize the authorities know way more then they let on.
Maybe the plastic wasn’t actually for her. Just an excuse. That plastic comes in rolls. Maybe he needed the remainder for someone else. Two someone else’s.
Ian Polowski?
trap. Also they were setting her up to have her DNA finger prints etc on the tarp and rhen put someone else in there, so she could be found guilty.
@@normacolon9618 o shitttt didn't think about that wow
Note that this is 18 months after the kids and Alex died! Please tell me they didn’t wait until April of this year to interview her!
I had a short acting anesthetic when I had a thumb dislocation and they had to put it back. When I was waking up from it you can hear everyone talking in the room. The jokes everything but you want to talk and you wanna wake up but you can’t wake up to still hear everything so she was definitely drugged
Yes, you hearing come in first ,that happened to me after a minor surgery.
I think she is very lucky to be alive!
She sounds so much like Lori to me in the way she talks they’re just manipulative
These Lori minions (Zulema, Gibb, Palowski) all sound the same. Poor me, ditzy, victims, selective memory, self-centered, no accountability........pathetic. They need female detectives to talk to these females.
Totally, hit the nail with this.
Couldnt agree more.
Does she not still have his phone?? Can they not look at his phone records and see who he was talking to that day/time?
She would have been next on Alex's list , may be she is lucky to be alive . Alex and Lori worked together , Lori and Alex had Chad figured out .
I think it was the other way around. Alex had to be taken out. He knew too much. His 'wife' wasn't in any danger at all.
It’s the “kill or be killed kult” 🤮
She is JUST as involved as anyone IMO
Well I've lived enough years to recognize that Alex purchase of a giant paint sheet was not for a massage, it was meant to pick up any dna from a murder. For whatever reason Alex couldn't go thru with it and he had a change of heart. Probably Chad and Lori being far away from him having the time of their lives while he's left to task another life snuffed out at his hands had something to do with it. Lori telling him to do this in person while in the moment and Lori telling him to do something over the phone is two separate experiences. I think this is the day Alex really started questioning this whole thing. Soon after this he tells MG she doesn't want to know where JJ is, he tells Zulema he's either a man of God... or not. He tells Zulema where $ is in case anything happens to him. All these things tell me he was really unsure of this after Chad and Lori split off. It came clear the "mission" wasn't as important. Chad and Lori just wanted to be together without and spouses and Lori's children were just in Chad's way and he manipulated everyone to believe it REALLY wasn't the original people in the bodies, it was demons so no harm done. Alex was most likely extremely terrified as he was dying to know he was about to face ultimate judgment. I think he knew at the end.
Alex and Lori both knew those cult beliefs were BS. If anything, Lori manipulated Chad.
Why didn’t they ask if she had life insurance?
They did
Why didn’t they ask if Alex had life insurance on him? Why didn’t they ask about Alex’s probate proceedings with Zulema acting as the estate’s personal representative?
Zulema seems like such a sweet soul. I'm SO GLAD she didn't die throughout this whole ordeal. Hallelujah!
She is just a better actress than the Melanie's. Which one was the get away driver for Alex the day Brandon was shot at? Melanie P, Melanie G, or Zulema?
Don't forget she was active in the removal of the evil spirit ceremonies. She was an active participant in all of it
Poor lady...she doesn't know how lucky she is, to be alive and surviving Lori Vallow.
Cover story? She maybe lying. She probably killed alex
I don't believe her and she was in on the group doing the "castings" ...like trying to cast out the evil spirit of Ned from Charles Vallow. I think she cooperated with Lori to kill Alex. And if I recall the dates correctly he died the night of or the day after Tami Daybell's exhumation. Listen to the newly released Melanie Gibb interrogation...these people make me sick with all their supposed visions and teachings. Lori is going to rot away in a mental institution or prison for ALL OF HER DAYS, she really won't be able to pray hard enough for those end of days to get here, and that skuzzball Chud...he's going to get his too.
While this may be true, she's no victim. She's a conartist.
This woman was in on the plan from the beginning along with Melanie Gibb. Chad wanted women around….not men. Alex was probably on the phone with Chad and Lori and they were telling him he had to “ go on to the next world “. I don’t believe a word that comes out of her mouth, Melanie Gibb and Melanie Palowski. All these women were following Chad and Lori.
@@joncrane7661 but Chad gave Alex a "blessing" before he died. I think that Alex killed himself.
Besides Lori & Chad this gal is the only one left alive. She should be thanking God every day.
....
I do wonder if Alex was supposed to give her something but somehow ended up accidentally taking it himself?
Some really good observations and theories in this thread. Hopefully LE is already checking into some of these same things!
It's so damn hard to make clear of what they're saying. Is she saying she felt drugged and could've been next to die?!
Turn on closed captions. It helps when things are hard to hear. :)
@@RoseSharon7777 good thinking! 💡 Thanks 😊
Basically she felt off and couldn’t wake up. At the time she felt like it wasn’t a big deal, but after knowing all that Lori Chad and Alex have done, she realizes that very well could have been his plan to kill her. Having the bed covered in plastic to maybe hide evidence & giving her a massage to have her in a vulnerable state. He definitely could’ve been trying to kill her but she woke up & the plan backfired…or it could’ve been his plan to get her away so he could talk privately to Lori/Chad about something they didn’t want her to know about.
@@Julesorjulz 👍
@@RoseSharon7777 thank you!! I didn't even think of that and was having trouble understanding
Nobody mentions this, but she was also very familiar with Melanie Gibb, was at her house for many meetings and told MG about her powers, etc.
I’m not getting the feeling here that this lady was actually involved in anything but she was certainly traveling with the circus, wasn’t she? I mean the massage thing-the drop cloth is weird but who’s to say your average religious zealot/killer can’t also be good at giving top-notch massages?
Oh I would love a massage. I think. No rufi`s please.
What kind of massage oil? THC maybe?
Is that why she has immunity? Because she had suspicions she was next?
Why does she think Lori would know about life insurance taken out for her or Alex?
just watching a year-end news special on the Extreme US Weather in 2021 . . . and couldn't help but think of Miss Zulema
IMO, this woman is full of it. Just like Melanie. I hope Forensics finds something, toxic perhaps, in any of the autopsy performed on these victims. 🤔
Id be interested to know if Ian got one of those massages???
Why would he need a drop cloth to protect a HOTEL bed from massage oil??..... so weird..
Hotel would fine you
@@joncrane7661 It couldnt have been enough to destroy the sheets. I'm sure they've found worse stains lol
I've taken an expensive pillow from a hotel before & they didn't do anything hahah
@@joncrane7661 I did consider that thou
Just extra towels ,they bring you a stack,
She still seems to believe that she’s a translated being! 😮
These people interview like they're on a TV series. So bizzare.
That chick dodged a major bullet. Literally
I bet he wasn’t talking to himself in the bathroom
No. No way.
Because he was using the family “portal potty” 😏
She doesn't make any sense that she can remember all the details to the massage situation but she cannot remember if she ate or drank anything that maybe he could have drugged her because she was so relaxed and had a hard time snapping out of it !
Someone said the lady talks fast and that's a sign of guilt? Sure hope not as I remember my sisters boss asked me one day what I was on as I talked very fast all the time. When asked that I couldn't even talk and tears rolled down my face as I was shocked to be asked that. So, once I could speak I answered and said "coffee". That was the truth as I never took drugs ever. So you can't judge her on rapid speech.
No Comprendo. I am lost . Make no sense
The dropcloth is so creepy.
Oh my. What in the world is wrong with those people? Why marry her just to kill her? So strange!!!!!
Why kill anyone, especially innocent children--one with special needs?
So frightening !! I’m afraid her guess is right and they had planned to kill her that day …
Did she have a life insurance policy naming him beneficiary? Could Alex or Lori have taken one out without Zulema's knowledge?
It is my understanding that, yes, one can take out a policy without the person’s knowledge in some states. Anyone update with respect to their state???
To take out a policy you have to be in some sort of responsibility situation for or dependent on that person. You can’t take out a policy on just anyone. I can’t take out a policy on my next door neighbor, unless I can prove I am caring for them or responsible for their medical bills or funeral. And the insured person must sign it. In fact, that person must actually take out the policy. So no, unless a person signs anything placed in front of them, or someone forged a signature, a policy can’t be taken out in secret.
In the past you could take out policies on strangers without their knowledge. But due to abuse this is no longer allowed. You have to be related....and they have to be made aware. Though some have faked that and brought in a ringer to claim they are the relative. But I think they have to sign something.
She was the insurance agent
Wow. He was going to kill her. She's lucky she made it out alive. I still think she hid info from the cops to help cover for him. He's pure evil right along with his sister. Siblings from hell.
holy shiiiiiiiiiiiii she was a target too! they’re serial killers
Its a cover story....
She is lucky to be alive
Did she have life insurance that named him as the benefactor in case of her death? Otherwise, why would he marry her just to kill her the next day?
No, neither did Alex. They would have killed her for her knowledge of their conversations, beliefs, etc. She was effectively a loose thread to Chubs and Lori and, via her conversations with Alex, it was apparent to Alex that they were looking at him in that way too.
Dont try to make sense of crazy.
He married her so he could use her last name making it harder to track him (in his mind). He did legally change his last name to hers, so weird! Her adult son didn't even know his mom married the guy, lol. A strange situation for sure.
I think she was supposed to “help” him. He has admitted to being gay. That is shameful to this family and she put herself out there to supposedly help people like this. Getting married may have been part of the “cure”
@@LaLaLonna This is what Zulema herself stated in her entire conversation video with the police. I am not making sense out of anyone else's crazy but my own.
When I use thc medicated massage lotion/oil it makes me suuuuuper tired and best nap ever afterwards, maybe he used that
Jerry Seinfeld's girlfriend wouldn't do massages either.
Good one!
😂😂😂😂😂
When is this interview from? Weird how it's coming out now.
April 29, 2021
What did Alex reveal? I watched it a couple times and didn't hear anything revealing
