Vallow and her husband Chad Daybell were charged with murder in May 2021 over the deaths of Vallow’s children Tylee Ryan, 17, and Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 7. Daibel pleaded not guilty to the charges, but after the court ordered a psychological evaluation, Lori Wallow was deemed “not competent to proceed.” Tylee and JJ had disappeared in September 2019 and Vallow and Daybell were married two months later. In June 2020, law enforcement officers found the remains of children on a Daybell property in Fremont, Idaho. Monday’s decree states that Walloon will be transferred from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and will be remanded in custody by the Fremont County Sheriff prior to her recitation on April 19.
Charges of ex-spouse death
Daybell and Vallow also face charges related to the death of their ex-husband. Daybell is blamed for the murder of his ex-wife, Tammy, who was initially believed to have died in her sleep in October 2019, less than three weeks before she married Vallow. He has pleaded not guilty. Vallow faces charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in Tammy Daybell’s death. Vallow has also been charged with a felony charge of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in the death of her ex-husband Charles Vallow, who was fatally shot in July 2019. According to a statement from a probable cause released by police in Chandler, Arizona, in July 2021, Lori’s brother, Alexander Cox, called 911 on July 11, 2019, to report that he shot and killed his ex-brother-in-law. . Cox told investigators she acted in self-defense after a physical altercation with Charles Wallow, police said. Cox died in December 2019, according to prosecutors. Police said in a statement that Lori Wallow found out that her ex-husband was planning an intervention out of fear for the safety of his children and that his death was premeditated. According to the statement, Lori Wallow had “radical beliefs”, including that she was an “exalted Goddess” and that she and Dabel “were directed to lead 144,000 people in preparation for the end of the world”. Daybell has not been charged in the death of Charles Vallow. CNN’s Amir Vera, Dave Alsup, Raja Razek, Madeline Holcombe and Chris Boyette contributed to this report.
