PHOENIX — After years of delays, Doomsday author Chad Daybell’s triple murder trial will finally begin on Monday.
His wife, Lori Vallow Daybell, was convicted in the same case last year for killing her kids, Tylee and JJ, who used to live in the Valley. She was also convicted for her role in the death of Chad’s first wife, Tammy Daybell.
Chad Daybell’s trial is expected to start Monday, April 1 in Boise, ID. Earlier this month, he was moved to Ada County jail in Boise from Eastern Idaho, where the crimes occurred.
Tylee and JJ disappeared in September 2019 after their mother, Lori Vallow, moved them from Arizona to Idaho to be with Chad.
Tammy Daybell, Chad’s first wife, was murdered in her home in October 2019.
Days later, in November, Lori Vallow married Chad Daybell in Hawaii. It was later in November that the children were first reported missing.
Lori Vallow was arrested in February 2020 in Hawaii and extradited to Idaho. Chad Daybell was arrested in June 2020 after the kids’ bodies were found brutally buried in his backyard. Both Chad and Lori were charged with multiple felonies, including murder in the deaths of Tylee and JJ. Chad was also charged with murder in the death of his first wife, Tammy.
Dark, religious beliefs, according to investigators, were the driving force in the murders.
Lori’s brother Alex Cox is considered to be a third co-conspirator in the case. He was never charged because he died in December 2019 in Arizona, apparently from natural causes.
Chad and Lori were originally going to be tried together in the deaths of Tylee, JJ and Tammy, but the cases were severed.
Lori’s trial played out last year. She was found guilty on all charges and the judge sentenced her to three consecutive life sentences in prison.
She spoke out for the first time at her sentencing where the judge said it was clear she was still under a religious delusion.
