It proves that the pickaxe was used to bury Tylee but not who handled it or that it was used to kill the boy. Though who handled the pickaxe and the reason may be inferred from the other evidence . I believe it has been established that both children were shot and that was the cause of death for both.

[@mjremy2605]

There you have it, what we knew all along. Alex or Chad shot Tylee and then they both cut her up and burned her. Poor dear Tylee. Her father, Joe Ryan was most likely killed by Alex Cox at Lori's request during a bitter custody fight over Tylee. Then Charles Vallow, who was a great father and loved Tylee was also killed by Alex at Lori's request. Imagine the trauma for Tylee - 2 fathers gone, mother a malignant narcissist, an uncle Alex who was plotting how to take her out, and a C.H.U.D. who was plotting with her mother to kill her. Who could she turn to? And she protected JJ. That is why she was killed off first, so she would not raise the alarm about JJ disappearing. So incredibly sad. The way they rubbed her out and reduced this vibrant, sweet, smiling, kind young woman to a bucket of charred remains, and then robbed her bank account. They removed all traces of Tylee and JJ into that storage locker too. Evil Triumvirate all three of them. I have no doubt Melanie Boudreaux was in on it as well. Look at the speed she got remarried to Ian, just to distance herself from Lori and gain an unwitting protector. Ian - if you have any sense, run while you can! This is an evil family.
