BOISE, Idaho — A jury has found Lori Vallow Daybell guilty of killing two of her children in what prosecutors argued was a doomsday plot.
She faces up to life in prison without parole.
Prosecutors said they were"very pleased" with the jury's verdict but declined to comment further given the pending case against Chad Daybell. Defense attorney Jim Archibald characterized Lori Vallow Daybell as a devoted mother who loved her children and Jesus, but that all changed near the end of 2018, when she met Chad Baybell.
The children were last seen alive in September 2019 and were reported missing by extended family members to police in November 2019. Lori Vallow Daybell and Chad Daybell were indicted on murder charges nearly a year after authorities discovered the remains of her children on Chad Daybell's property in June 2020.
In opening statements, prosecutors revealed that Tamara Daybell, 49, died of asphyxiation. Her death was initially believed to be natural.
