We've unearthed lost video of Lori Day Belle from 2004 when she was a contestant in The Miss Is Texas Beauty Pageant.

There she is in the swimsuit competition here she is during the evening gown competition.

Back then, she was known as Laurie Ryan.

Listen that she's introduced just over $17,000.

You heard right Laurie Day.

Belle was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune in November of 2004.

Lloyd definitely liked being the center of attention.

Laurie's former sister in law, Anne Cushing, says Laurie was certain her game show victory was a sign from above.

She told my brother that God told her she was going to be on Wheel of Fortune before she auditioned.

Cushing says.

Laurie's appearance in the Missus Texas contest came when she was 30 years old.

He or she is performing a big number with the other contestants.

After time, Laurie was married to Joseph Ryan.

They divorced in 2004.

He died in 2018 of a heart attack at the age of 59.

I just had no reason to be suspicious.

Now she has second thoughts.

Lori's next husband, Charles Val Oh, was shot to death by her brother last year under mysterious circumstances.

Four months later, she married Chad Day Belle, who refused to answer questions yesterday when approached by an ABC News reporter in Hawaii, where Lori Day Bell remains in jail facing charges of child desertion.

Is there anything that you would like to say to people at all who are number one concerned about?

The kids are concerned about you on your wife.

Anything at all you want to say support.

Nobody could have anticipated that 16 years later, this Mrs Texas wannabe would be at the center of an international mystery involving two missing kids.

By the way, Laurie Day Bill did not win.

This is Texas.
