Lori Vallow Daybell, who has been infamously dubbed the “Doomsday Mom,” is currently on trial for her alleged role in the murder of her two youngest children, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, and her husband’s previous wife, Tammy Daybell.
A mom accused of killing her two youngest children and a romantic rival described some people as possessed or “zombies,” four of whom were later killed or shot at, the woman’s former friend told jurors.
A mother accused in the triple murder of her two youngest children as well as her new husband’s previous wife was willing to “remove any obstacle in her way to get what she wants,” a prosecutor told jurors Monday morning.
The trial of Lori Vallow Daybell is expected to get underway next week in Boise, Idaho. No word yet on whether the grandparents of one of the victims, J.J. Vallow, will be allowed to appear as witnesses and sit in the courtroom listening to testimony.
Lori Vallow Daybell is set to go to trial April 3, when jury selection begins. The grandparents of one of the murdered children express disappointment with the judge's rulings.
A woman charged with conspiracy and murder in connection with the deaths of her two children and her new husband’s late wife will no longer face the death penalty, a judge ruled Tuesday.
A woman charged in Idaho with killing her two youngest children and her new husband’s previous wife will be tried alongside her husband and their trial has been delayed until early next year because the judge says that will give her lawyers enough time to effectively prepare a defense.
An Idaho judge ruled Monday that a mother accused of conspiring to kill her children, her estranged husband and a lover’s wife is now mentally competent to stand trial on some of the charges in Idaho.
Prosecutors in Idaho say they will seek the death penalty against a couple in the killings of the wife’s two youngest children and the husband’s previous wife in a convoluted case involving doomsday religious beliefs.
The couple is at the center of a grim saga involving bizarre doomsday beliefs and a months-long search for 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan.
