Convicted Lori Vallow Daybell – who is serving a life sentence in Idaho for killing her two youngest children and another woman – could soon be sent to Arizona to face conspiracy to commit murder charges.
Idaho Governor Brad Little on Monday signed an executive agreement to extradite Vallow Daybell at the request of Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs.
Vallow Daybell faces two counts of conspiracy stemming from the murder of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and the attempted murder of her niece’s ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux.
“It is hereby agreed by the undersigned, the Governor of the State of Idaho and the Governor of the State of Arizona, that Lori Vallow …shall be extradited pursuant to this agreement from the State of Idaho to the State of Arizona for trial,” the three-page agreement read. “The State of Arizona may obtain custody of the fugitive … and the fugitive may be transferred back and forth between the State of Arizona and the State of Idaho.”

Charles Vallow’s sister, Kay Woodcock, welcomed the news, saying in a statement: “1567… The days count as we fight for justice. FINALLY!!!! We’re not sure when he’ll be overwhelmed but excited about the progress. Just knowing it’s moving, makes us feel relieved and happy,” the East Idaho News station reported.
The twisted case began in 2019, while Vallow Daybell was still living in suburban Phoenix with her children, 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and then 16-year-old Tylee Ryan.
She was estranged from her husband Charles Vallow at the time, and she has written in a divorce filing that she claims to be a goddess sent to deliver biblical revelation.
Charles Vallow was shot and killed by Vallow Daybell’s brother, Alex Cox, that summer. Cox told police he acted in self-defense, and he was never charged.
Vallow Daybell is suspected of conspiring with her late brother, Alex Cox, to kill her estranged fourth husband, Charles Vallow, left, in 2019.
In October 2019, Brandon Boudreaux, who was recently divorced from Vallow Daybell’s niece, reported being shot outside his home in Gilbert, Arizona.
Police said they believe Cox was the gunman in the botched shooting, but he has not been charged in the incident either.
Cox died later that year of what the medical examiner found to be natural causes.
Shortly after Charles Vallow’s murder, Vallow Daybell and her children moved to Idaho, allegedly to be closer to her then-boyfriend, Chad Daybell. Prosecutors said the two shared cult beliefs and plotted together to remove any obstacles to their happiness.
Vallow Daybell describes her own children as “zombies” and believes that people who have been possessed by evil spirits can be cleansed through death.

In September 2019, Vallow Daybell’s son and daughter suddenly disappeared, and Chad Daybell’s then-wife, Tammy Daybell, died of what was initially believed to be natural causes — but later determined to be asphyxiation.
Authorities became suspicious when Vallow Daybell and Chad Daybell married just two weeks later and left for Hawaii.
Extended family members grow concerned about the disappearance of Vallow Daybell’s son, and police launch a multi-state investigation. The burned bodies of Joshua and Tylee were later found buried in a makeshift grave in Chad Daybell’s Idaho yard.
An Arizona grand jury indicted Vallow Daybell in June 2021 in connection with the death of her fourth husband.

Another grand jury indicted him in February 2022 for conspiracy to kill Boudreaux.
In May of this year, Vallow Daybell was convicted in Idaho of murdering her children and Tammy Daybell, and was later sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
At her sentencing in July, the “doomsday” mother strangely claimed that she had heard from her dead children, “who were very busy and happy in heaven.”
Chad Daybell has also been charged in the murders of his two children and his late wife. He has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial, which is scheduled for April 1, 2024.
