Tow members of Lori Vallow's defense team removed quit on Friday on the same day the judge removed himself for the case. She is being held on a $1 million bond

Cult mom Lori Vallow, the Idaho woman facing multiple charges regarding the disappearance of her two children, is maintaining her innocence days after two of her three defense attorneys quit and the judge was removed from the case.

Edwina Elcox and Brian Webb stepped down from Vallow's legal team on Friday with no explanation for their departure yet given.

The judge also removed himself from the case Friday after a motion was filed asking him to do so by the defense team.

Vallow's sole remaining attorney Mark Means released a statement on Monday in which she continued to claim her innocence in the disappearance of her children, Tylee, 17, and JJ, seven, who have not been seen in almost six months.

Earlier this month, Vallow, 46, was extradited to Idaho from Hawaii, where she and her new husband Chad Daybell fled last Fall while dodging police questioning about the children.

She is being held on a $1 million bail.

'As with any citizen of our Country, Mrs. Daybell is entitled to all the privileges and rights that accompany our cornerstone belief of innocents, until proven beyond a reasonable doubt otherwise,' Means' statement read.

'It is this innocence that Mrs. Daybell assertively maintains regarding all charges.'

'Furthermore, Mrs. Daybell is guaranteed access to a fair and impartial judicial process. There is no room in the process for conjecture, innuendos, and or speculation to alter this Constitutionally guaranteed process,' it added.

The statement came after the judge on the case Judge Farren Eddins removed himself on Friday in the same court hearing in which it was first reported that Vallow's attornies Webb and Elcox were to remove themselves from the case.

Means filed a motion last week calling for Eddins removal but a reason was not given. Eddins approved the motion and a new magistrate judge will now be appointed.

Lori Vallow faces five counts in the case of her missing children: two felony counts of desertion and non-support of dependent children, and one misdemeanor count each of resisting and obstructing an officer, solicitation of a crime and contempt.

Her kids, Tylee, 17, and JJ, seven, have not been seen since September and there are grave concerns for their welfare.

The alarm was first raised by JJ's grandmother. She has been begging Vallow for answers on JJ's whereabouts for months but she has refused to tell his grandmother where he is.

The FBI released this photo of the family at Yellowstone National Park on September 8 and has asked anyone with information about that day to come forward

Chad Daybell, husband of cult Mum Lori Vallow, is seen leaving the Kauai Community Correctional Center. The couple fled to Hawaii and married on a beach on November

The FBI in Salt Lake City has made a public plea for information about a trip Vallow took with the kids to Yellowstone before they vanished.

They are asking that anyone who was in the park on September 8 last year and has photos of the children or family to submit them to the authorities

Authorities began searching for the children in late November after Lori and her new husband Chad Daybell fled their home in Idaho when police began asking questions about where the children were.

The case expanded as police opened investigations into a string of suspicious deaths linked to the couple.

It began in July 2019, when Vallow's brother, Alex Cox, shot her estranged husband, Charles Vallow, dead in her home in Arizona.

At the time, they told police that he acted in self-defense.

In October, Daybell's wife of 23 years, Tammy, died mysteriously.

He married Lori two weeks later in Hawaii after the children also went missing.

All Daybell has said of the kids is that they are 'safe'.

Then, in December, Vallow's brother Alex Cox died in mysterious circumstances.

Tammy's body has now being exhumed for further testing. Authorities have not yet revealed the results of those tests.

The FBI is now reportedly looking into yet another death linked to Vallow in the wake of her children's disappearance.

Joseph Ryan, Lori's third husband, died of an apparent heart attack in 2018 - 14 years after the couple divorced in 2004.

Two years later, Joseph's death is getting a second look from investigators as they search for his and Lori's daughter Tylee, and JJ, who she adopted with her next husband.

The timeline of the mysterious deaths and disappearance in Vallow's immediate family

The extended families of Tylee and JJ are pleading with her to tell them where the kids are.

Rexburg police questioned Daybell and Vallow about the missing children in late November, and when detectives returned the next day for a follow-up interview, the couple had left town.

In December, Idaho authorities asked police in Hawaii for help finding the couple.

On January 26, Kauai police served a search warrant on a vehicle and condo the couple were renting in the resort town of Princeville.

Vallow reportedly believes she is 'a god assigned to carry out the work of the 144,000 at Christ's second coming in July 2020,' according to divorce documents Charles Vallow filed before his death.

She and Chad Daybell were involved in a group that promotes preparing for the biblical end times.

Vallow's preliminary hearing will be held in Madison County Courthouse on May 7 and 8.
