Mormon apocalyptic fiction author Chad Daybell is now on trial for murder, and his defense is blaming wife Lori Vallow for the crimes
without the possibility of parole for the murders of her seven-year-old son “JJ” Vallow and 16-year-old daughter Tylee Ryan, as well as conspiring to kill his first wife, Tammy Daybell, Chad Daybell is standing trial in, three counts of conspiracy to commit murder, grand theft, and insurance fraud. If convicted of the murder charges, he faces the death penalty — a possibility dismissed by the court in Vallow’s case.
The saga began when Daybell and Vallow met in 2018 at a religious conference in St. George, Utah. Both belonged to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Vallow — then an Arizona homemaker married to her fourth husband, Charles Vallow — was a fan of Daybell’s self-published books, which had gained a Mormon audience interested in their end-of-days visions. Daybell claimed to be able to see beyond the “veil” of reality due to his near-death experiences.
