    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.

    The body of Madeline Soto was found the afternoon of March 1, 2024, in St. Cloud, FL after a week-long search. The 13-year-old's body was found off Old Hickory Tree Road in Osceola County at around 4:30 p.m. The Hunter's Creek Middle School student was last seen at 8:30 a.m. on Feb. 26 when her mother's boyfriend took her to school. Jennifer Soto, however, discovered later that day that her daughter had never made it to school that day. 

    The girl was last seen wearing a green sweatshirt, black shorts, and white Crocs, the Kissimmee police, the lead investigation agency on her death, said Friday. The Orange County Sheriff's office said that evidence reported she was "never dropped off near her school" on the morning she vanished.
    Video footage from the day she disappeared shows Sterns "discarding items in a dumpster at the family’s Kissimmee apartment complex" at 7:35 a.m., the sheriff's office reported , adding investigators found Madeline's backpack in the dumpster.

    Footage then shows Sterns allegedly returning to the family's home at 8:20 a.m. with "Madeline visible in the car," but investigators think she was already dead.
    During the sheriff's office's investigation into Madeline's disappearance, detectives found "disturbing images when they forensically examined Sterns’ phone" − some which he reportedly attempted to delete.
    The alleged sex crimes, detectives reported, took place at Madeline's home, the agency reported.

    Stephan Sterns, who was subsequently arrested and charged with 60 child sex abuse-related charges, was charged with first-degree murder on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, according to Osceola County Circuit Court records.
