Dr. Phil to interview family members of missing Idaho children

BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — Family members of the missing Idaho children will be talking to Dr. Phil this week.

"It's a mystery that has America absolutely baffled," the show's description says.

Lori Vallow was arrested last week and charged with deserting her children, 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan, who have not been seen since September. A judge denied Vallow's attorney's request to lower her $5 million bail.

Her next court appearance is scheduled for March 2.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little's office says it has yet to receive an official request for extradition, "but we're ready to perform our role in the process if called upon."

You can watch the interview on CBS2 beginning at 3 p.m. on Thursday. Afterward, join us for CBS2 News at 4 as we bring you continuing coverage of the disappearance of the missing children.
