Besides Vallow’s legal troubles, Cox also had to deal with the legal issues of their other brother, Alex.
In July 2019, Alex shot and killed Charles Vallow, but soon claimed it was in self-defence.

As a result, no charges were filed against him, but he died a few months later of what the medical examiner determined to be natural causes, according to NBC News.
Despite Alex’s death, authorities continued to investigate Charles’ death, eventually charging her with conspiring with her brother to murder her ex-husband.
As a result, the police charged one person with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
