Lori Vallow Daybell, an Idaho woman living in prison for the murder of two youngest children and her romantic rival, has been sentenced to two consecutive life sentences in Arizona to kill her estranged husband and attempt to kill Nie’s former embrace.
Vallow Daybell, often referred to as the “end of the Apocalyptic Mother,” due to her apocalyptic beliefs that promoted her series of horrifying murders, was convicted earlier this year in 2019 of the murder of her ex-husband Charles Vallow and the attempted murder of Brandon Bodlow.
“The amount of thought, calculation, planning and manipulation caught up in these crimes is unparalleled in my career,” Judge Justin Beleski said before ruling Barrow Daybell on July 25th. “You need God’s actions to be free.”
Vallow Daybell has already faced multiple life sentences in Idaho for the 2019 murder of Joshua “JJ” Vallow and Tylee Ryan, along with the murder of his current husband’s ex-wife, Tammy Daybell. Her two life sentences in Arizona will be carried out in a row.
The families of Vallow Daybell victims testified over an hour at a hearing about the harm she caused in the July 25 ruling. Her surviving child, Colby Ryan, describes the moment when it was revealed that her father was shot and killed, and then learns that his 7- and 16-year-old brothers were killed.
“I had to do something I’d never done before. It was a fight to stay alive after the pain,” Ryan said.
Boudreaux, the victim of the attempted murder, told the judge that he “chosen to “forgive” Vallow Daybell, but “I don’t think it’s safe if I have freedom.”
Prosecutors argued that Vallow Daybell and her husband Chad Daybell believe the apocalypse is imminent and that those around them are evil zombies. They accused Barrow Daybell of manipulating her brother, Alex Cox, and her husband, Chad Daybell. Her husband’s life and social insurance survivors benefit from her children.
Victims Charles Vallow and Brandon Boudrow
Vallow Daybell met her current husband, Chad Daybell, at a religious conference in Utah in 2018. The pair bonded with their shared religious beliefs, including the immediate arrival of an apocalyptic ending.
Shortly after that, in 2019, Charles Vallow filed for divorce, claiming that his wife had threatened to kill him, believing she was a godly figure preparing for the second coming of Christ.
Vallow was shot in July 2019 at a rental home at Barrow Daybell in Chandler, Arizona. A few months later, her nie’s ex-husband, Brandon Bowdrow, was shot while driving in Gilbert, Arizona. The shooting was later linked to Vallow Daybell’s brother, who began to share her apocalyptic beliefs.
Boudreaux survived the shooting.
Joshua Vallow, Tyree Ryan and Tammy Daybell’s Murder
Vallow Daybell moved with his children in September 2019 to the small town of Idaho where Chad Daybell lived with his then wife, Tammy Daybell. A few weeks after the trip, Tammy Daybell was found dead.
Vallow Daybell’s relatives immediately told police that they hadn’t seen her child in a while.
Vallow Daybell was arrested in Hawaii in February 2020 for abandoned child. She was handed over to Idaho and in early June of that year, authorities discovered she was buried in Chad Daybell’s property.
