Idaho Gov. Brad Little said he's hoping to speed up the extradition process to get doomsday prepper Lori Vallow back from Hawaii to face trial for charges connected to the disappearance of her two children.

Vallow and her new husband, Mormon author Chad Daybell, were vacationing in Hawaii when a judge ordered her to turn her children over to the state of Idaho. Vallow failed to deliver the children, and on Thursday she was arrested in Kauai and taken to the Kauai Community Correctional Center where she is being held on a $5 million bond. She has been charged with two felony counts of desertion and nonsupport of children, along with misdemeanor resisting and/or obstructing an officer, solicitation, and contempt.

Vallow, who is connected to the group "Preparing the People" fled her home in Idaho in November when police came to check on her 7-year-old autistic son Joshua "J.J." Vallow.  J.J. and his 17-year-old sister Tylee were last seen in September.

Little is hoping to transport Vallow back to Idaho as soon as possible. "We'll run it through the system, and we'll send it back and it'll go to Hawaii for extradition," Little told KMVT about extradition paperwork. "I hope there is justice, and I hope the children are found."

Dead bodies and unanswered questions surround Vallow

Vallow's fourth husband, Charles Vallow, her brother Alex Cox, and Daybell's former wife Tammy, have all died within the past nine months. Police in multiple states are investigating the string of deaths.

There is also an ongoing investigation into the attempted killing of Brandon Boudreaux, who was married to Lori Vallow's niece, Melani Boudreaux.

In recently filed documents seeking custody of their children, Boudreaux alleged that his ex-wife tried to have him killed for his life insurance policy. Money from the policy was intended to go toward supporting the "cult" she and Vallow are a part of, Boudreaux said in the case.

He also alleged that his ex-wife knows where Tylee and J.J. are, but refuses to cooperate with police.

The children are still missing

Police are also continuing their search for J.J. and Tylee.

Tylee was last seen on September 8, when she,  J.J., Vallow and Vallow's brother Alex Cox went on a day trip to Yellowstone National Park. A photo uploaded to Vallow's iCloud account showed Tylee in Yellowstone on that day, according to 12 News. A week later, video footage captured J.J. playing in his yard at 565 Pioneer Rd., in Rexburg.
