“Chad Daybell has been taken into custody for questioning,” Hagen said.
Hagen offered no further details.
Vallow and Daybell left their Rexburg home when investigators started looking into Tylee and Joshua’s disappearance, police have said.
Her bail remains at $1 million, though it had been reduced in March from $5 million. A two-day preliminary hearing is scheduled to begin July 9.
Daybell and Vallow married in Kauai, Hawaii, on November 5, and returned there December 1.
CNN had previously reached out to Daybell’s attorney, Sean Bartholick, but had not heard back. Bartholick no longer represents Daybell. It’s unclear whether he has an attorney.
Children not seen since September
Vallow’s children were last seen at different times.
Tylee Ryan, 17, has not been seen since she visited Yellowstone National Park on September 8 with her brother Joshua “J.J.” Vallow, 7, mother and uncle Alex Cox, according to authorities.
Joshua was last seen at a school in Idaho later that month.
Lori Vallow moved to Idaho from Arizona just a couple of months before police began searching for her children.
Police in Rexburg conducted a child welfare check in late November, after relatives told them that no one had spoken to Joshua in two months. They said they were told by Vallow and Daybell that the boy had been staying with a family friend in Arizona.
The couple were found in Hawaii in January and served with a search warrant. Vallow was given a deadline to turn the children over to authorities, a court order served by police said.
Daybell’s previous wife died
The disappearances followed other investigations authorities had conducted around Vallow and Daybell.
Daybell’s ex-wife, Tammy Daybell, was found dead in her home in mid-October. Authorities initially ruled her death as natural, but then deemed it suspicious. They had her remains exhumed to conduct an autopsy.
Vallow’s estranged husband was shot and killed in July during a fight with Vallow’s brother in Arizona before her move.
After their marriage, Vallow and Daybell told witnesses Tylee Ryan “had died a year before the death of her father, which is untrue,” police said. Daybell also told someone Vallow had “no minor children,” police said.
