Opening statements are set for Wednesday in Chad Daybell’s ‘doomsday’ triple murder trial in the deaths of his first wife and two stepchildren – a case Idaho prosecutors said was fueled by power, sex, money and apocalyptic spiritual beliefs.
Daybell has pleaded not guilty to murder and conspiracy charges stemming from the sensational triple homicide case featured in a Netflix true-crime documentary in 2022. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.
A grand jury in Idaho indicted Daybell and his second wife, Lori Vallow Daybell, on murder charges in the deaths of Vallow’s two children – 16-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow.
Daybell also is charged with the murder of his first wife, Tammy Daybell, who was initially believed to have died in her sleep. He remarried less than three weeks after her death in 2019.
