Doomsday mom Lori Vallow Daybell received two additional life sentences in an Arizona courtroom Friday for conspiring to kill her fourth husband Charles Vallow, and conspiring to kill her niece’s now ex-husband, who survived the attack. 

After spending nearly two hours listening to emotional victim impact statements from the families of her victims, Vallow Daybell — who is already serving multiple life sentences in Idaho for the murders of two of her children and the first wife of her current husband Chad Daybell — insisted she was “wrongly convicted” and seemed to show little remorse for her crimes.

“I want everyone to know that I mourn with all of you,” Vallow Daybell said in court. “I am sorry for your pain. Losing those close to you is painful and I acknowledge all of the pain and I do empathize. I feel it too. If I was accountable for these crimes, I would acknowledge it and I would let you know how sorry I was.”

She continued to insist that she will “one day walk free” and referenced her religious beliefs, insisting that Jesus would turn those behind bars into his “warriors.”

Judge says Lori Vallow Daybell caused “immeasurable suffering”

Judge Justin Beresky, who handed down the sentences, described Vallow as causing “immeasurable suffering” to those around her and said she left a “wake of destruction” in her path.

“Any time a person victimizes a single individual, the ripple effects of their actions extend far beyond the immediate harm and you’ve not victimized just a single victim, but many. You’ve shattered lives, you’ve undermined trust, you’ve sewed fear in the hearts of many,” he said while handing down the consecutive sentences of life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years.

Lori was convicted in two separate trials earlier this year of conspiring to kill Charles, who died in 2019, and her former nephew-in-law Brandon Boudreaux, who survived the 2019 attempt on his life, as part of a bizarre series of killings surrounding the religious mom.

Lori represented herself in both trials and often sparred with prosecutors and Beresky during the proceedings.

At one point during the Boudreaux trial in June, she was even removed from the courtroom after arguing with Beresky, according to Court TV. 

The killing spree began in July of 2019 when Charles was shot to death by Lori’s brother Alex Cox after arriving at her Chandler, Arizona home to take the couple’s adopted son Joshua “J.J.” Vallow, 7, to school. Cox claimed that he killed his brother-in-law in self-defense. 

Lori believed at the time that she was the beneficiary of Charles’ $1 million life insurance policy and didn’t realize he’d removed her from the policy and listed his sister instead, per KPCL.

Initially, no charges were filed in the case and Lori moved her family, including JJ and daughter Tylee Ryan, 16, to Rexburg, Idaho to be closer to Chad, a religious author who often wrote about the end times. 

Shortly after making the move, JJ and Tylee both disappeared weeks apart in September of 2019. Their bodies were found buried on Chad’s property the next year and their deaths were both declared homicides.

Then in October of 2019, prosecutors argued in court that Cox, who died of natural causes himself in December of 2019, drove to Arizona and shot at Boudreaux just as the father of two was arriving home in his car, according to the Arizona Republic.

Boudreaux had been estranged at the time from Lori’s niece Melani Pawlowski

The shot missed, but it managed to drive Boudreaux into hiding with his children as he began to fear for his life, according to court documents obtained by KSAZ-TV. 

Just a few weeks later, Chad’s first wife Tammy died under mysterious circumstances at their Rexburg home. An autopsy would later determine she died of asphyxiation.

Lori and Chad—who would go on to get married just weeks after Tammy’s death— were later convicted in separate trials for their roles in the deaths of Tylee, JJ and Tammy. Daybell was sentenced to death, while Vallow received life without the possibility of parole. 

Shortly before he was killed, Charles went to Gilbert Police with concerns that his wife was getting deeper into a strange set of religious beliefs and claimed she had told him that his spirit had gone “dark,” according to body camera footage later replayed on Dateline: Secrets Uncovered. 

Others close to the case reported that the couple made similar claims about Lori’s children and Tammy before their own deaths.

The sentences Friday finally put an end to the criminal cases against Lori, who is expected to be extradited back to Idaho within 30 days to serve out her time behind bars, according to KSAZ.
