Here is more from the article in the East Idaho News.
The part in italics (excerpt from court documents) is a pretty good indicator of some serious mental issues. I hope she gets some help and the kids are found safe.

Lori Daybell’s mission
Lori’s beliefs are described in divorce documents filed by her former husband Charles Vallow several months before he was killed by Lori Daybell’s brother, Alex Cox.
The following is an excerpt from court documents filed by Charles Vallow’s attorney on Feb. 15, 2019,
as reported by KSTU:
Mother (Lori Vallow) has recently become infatuated, at times obsessive, about near-death experiences and spiritual visions. Mother has told Father (Charles Vallow) that she is sealed (eternally married) to the ancient Book of Mormon prophet Moroni and that she has lived numerous lives on numerous planets prior to this current life. Mother also believes that she was married to James the Just in a past life and also lived as Mary French in the 1800s, who was Joseph Smith Jr.’s natural grandmother. Mother also informed Father that she is a translated being who cannot taste death sent by God to lead the 144,000 into the Millennium. Mother believes that she is receiving spiritual revelations and visions to help her gather and prepare those chosen to live in the New Jerusalem after the Great War as prophesied in the book of Revelations.
On January 29, 2019, during a phone conversation between the parties and after their physical separation, Mother informed Father that she was a God assigned to carry out the work of the 144,000 at Christ’s second coming in July 2020 and that if Father got in her way of her mission, she would murder him.
The 144,000 people referenced in the documents are drawn from the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Latter-day Saints believe the 144,000 are high priests who will “administer the everlasting gospel” to the world in the last days, according to the church's doctrine and covenants.
April Raymond, a longtime friend of Lori from Kauai, said that after Lori met Chad, she came to her and said she was helping to gather the 144,000.
“The basis seemed to be preparing for the end of times, and they believed that they were part of the 144,000,” Raymond
said on Dateline. “They (believed) they were here to gather the other members to join them … she told me she was there because I was one of 144,000, and she was there to gather me and I just said, ‘I think I’m not, I’m just not … I know that I’m not one of those people.'”
Jessica said a number of people in the group she was in, also said they were among the 144,000.
