Lori Vallow Convicted of Murdering Children, Conspiring Against Ex

Lori Vallow Daybell, known as the 'Doomsday Mom,' was found guilty by a Maricopa County jury of conspiring with her late brother to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, in Arizona. This conviction follows her earlier life sentence for the murders of her two children, Joshua 'JJ' Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and Chad Daybell's first wife, Tammy Daybell, as part of a series of crimes linked to her and Chad Daybell's apocalyptic religious beliefs. Prosecutors argued Vallow conspired to profit from Charles Vallow’s $1 million life insurance policy, with her brother Alex Cox physically committing the shooting in 2019. During her trial, Vallow represented herself and claimed the prosecution failed to prove a conspiracy, instead describing the events as a family tragedy. Despite her statements, the evidence convinced the jury of her guilt, and she remained emotionless as the verdict was read. The case has drawn national attention due to its intertwining of cult beliefs, murder, and the tragic deaths of multiple family members.
