Travelers shot cell phone video of Lori Vallow as she traveled from Hawaii to Boise. One piece of video captures plain-clothed officers leading her through the Honolulu airport. Another caught her arrival in Los Angeles.

From L.A., Vallow flew to Boise where she was loaded onto an Idaho State Police aircraft for the trip to her hometown of Rexburg, Idaho.

Vallow moved to Hawaii with her husband shortly after her children, 17-year-old Tylee and 7-year-old J.J., disappeared in September. She is charged with deserting her children and obstructing the investigation to find them.

A judge in Hawaii ordered her held on $5-million bail.
