This is an interesting tale: three suspicious deaths, missing children, a cult based on apocalyptic teachings.
The US mother whose two young children have been missing for months has been arrested in Hawaii amid a complicated search operation spanning the US.
Lori Daybell, 46, left for Hawaii in November after police in Idaho had questioned her about her children, who officers say are in danger.
The mysterious case includes three suspicious deaths.
Mrs Daybell has reportedly been linked to a doomsday cult-like religious group, according to US media reports.
She is faces two counts of child abandonment and is being held on a $5m (£3.8m) bail on the island of Kauai.
She moved to Idaho from Arizona in late August after her then-husband, Charles Vallow, was shot dead by her brother, Alex Cox.
Cox claimed the shooting had been in self defence. He died of unknown causes in December.
According to divorce documents filed by her late husband before his death, Mrs Daybell believes she is "a god assigned to carry out the work of the 144,000 at Christ's second coming in July 2020".
She also allegedly threatened to kill him if he got in her way, claiming she had "an angel there to help her dispose of the body". He took out a protective order following the threat, court documents show.
He described her as "infatuated and, at times, obsessive about near-death experiences and spiritual visions", and said she refused to see a therapist because "they would discover that she is a translated being".
Mrs Daybell remarried - to Chad Daybell - in October.
Mr Daybell is an author who has written several apocalyptic novels that are loosely based on Mormon religious teachings.
Both he and Mrs Daybell have been involved in a group that promotes preparing for the apocalypse.
The organisation, Preparing A People, has denied being a "cult" despite claims by the parents of Mrs Daybell's late husband.
Two weeks before his marriage to Mrs Daybell, his previous wife, Tammy Daybell, died.
According to her obituary, Tammy Daybell died of natural causes. After the quick remarriage, police became suspicious and ordered her body exhumed.
