It was a sunny day in January 2020, and on the shores of Kauai, a reporter approached Lori Vallow, the woman at the center of a nationwide manhunt. With her newlywed husband Chad Daybell by her side, Vallow was strolling towards the beachfront townhouse they had rented for $6,000 a month, just weeks after the death of Chad's wife, Tammy. The reporter, Nate Eaton of East Idaho News, asked the question on everyone's mind: "Did you do something to your children? Are your children still alive?" But Vallow was tight-lipped, simply responding with a cryptic "No comment."

The reporter pressed on, reminding Vallow that her adopted son, 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow, and her 17-year-old daughter Tylee Ryan, had been missing for four months. He asked, "They've been missing for four months; you have nothing to say?" But Vallow remained silent, her only response a shrug of the shoulders.

In the months that followed, JJ's biological grandparents had offered a $20,000 reward for information, and the story had become a national media blitz. But still, Vallow and Daybell remained silent, their beach getaway a mystery to the world. "There are people around the country praying for your children – praying for you guys – why don't you give us answers?" asked Eaton. To which Vallow simply replied, "That's great."

The story of Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell is one of failed relationships, mysterious deaths, and the end of an American family. In "The Doomsday Mother: Lori Vallow, Chad Daybell, and the End of an American Family," true-crime author John Glatt traces Vallow's history, including her marriage to Daybell, a novelist and Doomsday prophet. The couple had eloped to Hawaii following the mysterious deaths of her husband and Chad's wife, and the disappearance of her two children. It was later revealed that the remains of JJ and Tylee were found in Daybell's backyard.

Today, Vallow and Daybell are each charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. If convicted, they could face the death penalty, a rare outcome in the state of Idaho. They have both pleaded not guilty to the charges. Meanwhile, Vallow is also facing prosecution in Arizona for the conspiracy to commit first-degree murder of her then-husband, Charles Vallow. The trial was previously set for April 3, but has been delayed. In the end, the mystery of what happened to JJ and Tylee and the truth behind the deaths and disappearances of those close to Lori Vallow remains unsolved.

SENTENCING PHASE- ID v Chad Daybell, Doomsday Prophet Murder Trial PART 1

During Friday's session, emotional testimonies from the victims' families were anticipated, aiming to provide the jury with a deeper understanding of the devastating impact of Daybell's actions. These statements are critical as they contribute to the jury's decision on the appropriate sentence for Daybell.
The courtroom heard first from Colby Ryan, Tylee's brother, who struggled through tears to convey his grief. "I will never get to see my sister grow up or achieve her dreams," he said. "She was robbed of her life, and we were robbed of her presence."
Following Colby, Larry and Kay Woodcock, JJ Vallow's grandparents, took the stand. Larry's voice shook as he described the pain of losing JJ, saying, "JJ was a light in our lives, and that light was cruelly extinguished. We will never recover from this loss."
As the day progressed, Tammy Daybell's family shared their anguish. Tammy's sister, Samantha Gwilliam, addressed the court with a mixture of sorrow and anger. "Tammy was a loving wife, mother, and sister. She deserved so much more than to be a victim of such betrayal and violence," Gwilliam stated.
The prosecution highlighted the cold and calculated nature of Daybell's actions, urging the jury to consider the maximum penalty. "Chad Daybell's crimes were premeditated and heinous. The loss felt by these families is immeasurable," said Prosecutor Rob Wood. "Justice demands that he faces the severest consequences."
Daybell's defense team sought to humanize their client, arguing that his life should be spared. "While Mr. Daybell has been convicted, he is still a father and has family who care about him. We ask the jury to consider life in prison without the possibility of parole," pleaded defense attorney John Prior.
The jury's deliberation on whether Daybell should receive a life sentence or the death penalty is expected to be intense and potentially lengthy, given the gravity of the crimes and the emotional weight of the victim impact statements.
