Lori Vallow (49, left) faces triple murder charges.
DLNews Crime:
Lori Vallow (49) will soon have to answer in court. The Idaho woman and her partner Chad Daybell (54) are accused of three murders. The cases against the two conspiracy theorists are negotiated separately.
The now 49-year-old, at her arrest appearance in 2020, will plead not guilty at the beginning of the trial.
The victims are the children of 49-year-old Tylee († 17) and JJ († 7), and the accused's ex-wife, Tammy Daybell († 49).
The bodies of JJ (†7) and Tylee (†17) were found near the co-defendant's property.
The case is attracting much attention in the States. Background: Vallow is known nationwide – at least since the streaming giant Netflix released a documentary about her. In the summer of 2022, the three-part series "The Crimes of Our Mother" was published.
Vallow and her fifth husband committed the three murders in the fall of 2019, according to the indictment. The killers buried the children's bodies near their property. While the police were feverishly searching for the dead children in November, the couple honeymooned in Hawaii.
The trial of Schwurbler book author Chad Daybell doesn't start for a few months.
It is known about Vallow that over the years, she has become more and more fantasized about the end of the world - probably because of her new partner's smut books. According to her late ex-husband, she called her children "zombies." Other people were "dark spirits" and "demons"; they were "a reincarnation of God."
Before the children, they had already got rid of Daybell's ex-wife: Tammy died in mid-October 2019. Chad claimed the 49-year-old had a bad cold and suffocated in her sleep. The killers got away with it at first. However, a later autopsy revealed a previously unpublished, unnatural cause of death.

Finally, in June 2020, the police found the children's bodies. Tylee's remains had been dismembered and then cremated. Vallow and Daybell had wrapped the seven-year-old body in plastic wrap. The couple was arrested.
Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell should have been tried in 2021. However, the trial was delayed due to a "pervasive" evidence collection, according to Judge Steven Boyce. In addition, the mental state of the accused had to be examined.
The defendant will plead not guilty. So Chad Daybell's trial won't start for a few months.
