Chad Daybell
Chad Daybell is charged with the deaths of his wife Tammy Daybell, and his current wife Lori Vallow Daybell's two youngest children. Trial is set to begin in Idaho this Weds, April 10, 2024.
Chad Daybell’s trial is expected to last up to 10 weeks.
The 55-year-old self-published author is charged with three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Tammy Daybell, 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and JJ’s big sister, Tylee Ryan, who was last seen a few days before her 17th birthday.
Lori Vallow Daybell sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of killing two of her kids.
Lori Vallow Daybell — who married Chad Daybell shortly after the deaths — was found guilty last year and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
The couple claimed they could tell if people had been possessed by dark spirits that could turn them into “zombies,” former friend Melanie Gibb testified in court. They believed the only way to get rid of a zombie was to destroy the possessed person’s body by killing them.
The children’s bodies were found buried in Chad Daybell’s eastern Idaho yard in the summer of 2020.
Chad Daybell also is charged with insurance fraud in connection with Tammy Daybell’s death and two counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and grand theft by deception in the children’s deaths.
If convicted, he could face the death penalty.

East Idaho News: Chad and Lori Daybell Refuse To Talk To Nate Eaton After Being Served With Warrants In Hawaii
January 26, 2020
KAUAI, Hawaii — Chad and Lori Daybell did not have much to say when approached by EastIdahoNews.com Sunday afternoon in Hawaii after they were served with two search warrants.
The couple was pulled over by Kauai Police officers around 3:30 p.m. local time as they were driving a black Ford Explorer along the Kuhio Highway. They entered the parking lot of Kauai Beach Resort, and police served them with a search warrant for their vehicle.
Federal and eastern Idaho law enforcement officers assisted, and EastIdahoNews.com was on the scene as Lori Daybell was put into one police SUV and Chad Daybell waited in another. After 30 minutes, a tow truck came and took the SUV. Police then went to the Daybells’ townhome in Princeville, Hawaii and executed a search warrant on the property.
The Daybells have been living inside a gated community in Hawaii for several months, according to law enforcement. Lori’s children, 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan, have been missing since the end of September. Police say the Daybells refuse to tell them where the children are and have lied to investigators about their location. Police are also investigating the deaths of their former spouses.

The Daybells were not arrested Sunday and have not been criminally charged. Police declined to say what they are searching for and if any evidence was found, but Lori Daybell gathered belongings from her vehicle, including a large amount of cash in a plastic bag.
EastIdahoNews.com approached Chad and Lori in the parking lot of the resort after police finished their on-scene work Sunday. We asked several questions, and Lori only responded to one.
When told people in eastern Idaho and across the country are praying for her missing children, she said, “That’s great.”
