Shocking Doomsday Plot: Mother Faces Life in Prison for Murdering Her Own Children

Lori Vallow Daybell, aged 50, has been found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder for killing her two children, Joshua "J.J." Vallow (7 years old) and Tylee Ryan (16 years old)

The children's remains were discovered on Chad Daybell's property in Idaho after a lengthy search. Chad Daybell is Lori's husband

Lori Vallow Daybell was also found guilty of conspiring to kill her children and Chad Daybell's first wife, Tamara Daybell, who died shortly before Lori and Chad got married

J.J. Vallow's grandmother, Kay Woodcock, spoke in court, calling Lori Vallow Daybell a "monster" and expressing her pain and loss

Tylee Ryan's aunt, Vicki Hoban, delivered a victim impact statement, describing Tammy Daybell's death as "heartbreaking" and condemning Lori Vallow Daybell's actions

Multiple victim impact statements were given in court on behalf of the victims, including Lori's surviving child, Colby Ryan, and others related to Tammy Daybell

The jury rejected the death penalty, and Lori Vallow Daybell faces the possibility of life in prison without parole

Lori's defense team sought a new trial, but the judge denied the request, upholding the guilty verdict

Prosecutors argued that Lori and Chad Daybell believed the children were zombies and murdered them based on this belief

Chad Daybell, Lori's husband, is scheduled to go on trial in April 2024 for the murder of Tammy Daybell and conspiracy to commit murder
