Vallow Daybell began telling friends and family different versions of how Charles died, from saying he had a heart attack, to suicide, to self-defense. On July 11, 2019, police in Chandler, Arizona, received a phone call from Alex Cox, Vallow Daybell’s brother, who said he shot and killed Charles in self-defense. Vallow Daybell has also been indicted in Arizona for allegedly conspiring to kill Charles Vallow. The vehicle was registered to Vallow Daybell’s ex-husband, Charles Vallow, who had been dead for months. On October 2, 2019, Boudreaux was the victim of a failed drive-by shooting in Gilbert, Arizona. Just days after Vallow Daybell was convicted, she was indicted on a charge of conspiring to murder her niece’s ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux, the Associated Press reported. The case was then reopened amid the search for JJ and Tylee, paving the way for conspiracy charges Mr Daybell and Ms Vallow now face in her death.Lori Vallow Daybell, the Idaho mom convicted of killing her kids and conspiring to kill her fifth husband’s first wife, has been indicted on a new murder conspiracy charge – this time in Arizona.

Tammy Daybell was initially ruled to have died of natural causes after her husband declined an autopsy. Mr Daybell’s former wife, Tammy Daybell, was found dead at their Idaho home in October 2019, weeks before he married Ms Vallow. Cox claimed he acted in self-defence before his death in December 2019. Ms Vallow is charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the July 2019 death of her fourth husband Charles Vallow, who was shot dead by her brother Alex Cox during what she described as a custody dispute at her home in Arizona. Meanwhile, Ms Vallow and Ms Daybell are facing separate charges related to the deaths of their former spouses.

The couple are scheduled to face trial together in January 2023 following a series of delays after Ms Vallow was deemed mentally unfit and committed to a treatment facility in June 2021. Mr Daybell is also charged with murder and conspiracy in the children’s deaths and has pleaded not guilty. They are believed to have been killed in the days after they went missing. JJ and Tylee were ultimately found buried on Mr Daybell’s property in Salem, Idaho, in June 2020. While the children were never reported missing by their mother, police began investigating their whereabouts in late November 2019 after a family member raised concerns. Ms Vallow is believed to have moved to be closer to Chad Daybell, an alleged doomsday cult leader she married in November of that year. JJ and Tylee were last seen in September 2019, weeks after the family moved to Rexburg, Idaho, following Charles Vallow’s death. Ms Vallow has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to commit grand theft charges over an alleged plot to kill her children in order to claim social security benefits paid to them following the death of her fourth husband Charles Vallow - who was Tylee’s biological father and JJ’s adoptive father. “We believe the jury will find that there was this agreement, that they agreed to commit these two crimes.” “One was to murder Tylee Ryan and to steal the social security money that was allotted to her, and one was to kill JJ Vallow and steal and collect the social security funds that were allotted to him,” Mr Wood said.

She appeared to scoff as prosecutor Rob Wood pushed back at the defence arguments, insisting that the conspiracy charges were not confusing and simply detail a “criminal agreement”.
