Lori Daybell Hit with New Charges Weeks After Her Kids Were Found Dead on Husband’s Property

Matt Naham of Law & Crime Trial Network wrote:Lori Vallow Daybell, 46, was hit with new charges on Monday in connection with the disappearances and deaths of her children Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 17.

Daybell was first arrested in February in a felony child desertion case. The children had been missing since Sept. 2019, but their mother didn’t help search for them. Instead, she got married and left Idaho for Hawaii. Earlier in June, authorities executed a search warrant that ultimately led to the discoveries of human remains. Days after the discovery, authorities confirmed that JJ and Tylee were dead.

The news about the new charges against Lori Daybell came on the same day that authorities executed yet another search warrant at her husband’s home. Chad Daybell, 51, was charged weeks ago with two felony counts of destruction, alteration, or concealment of evidence.

Rexburg, Idaho authorities still haven’t brought murder charges, but Lori Daybell has now also been charged with two felony counts of destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence.

Lori Daybell has asserted her innocence, though an attorney; Chad Daybell pleaded not guilty.
