Lori Vallow Daybell

The so-called 'Doomsday Cult Mom' was sentenced to life in prison in Idaho after being convicted of conspiracy and murder for the deaths of her two youngest children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, as well as her husband's first wife, Tammy Daybell. While video of her Idaho trial was prohibited, audio of her trial is available on CourtTV.com. In Arizona, Lori was convicted of conspiracy in the death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow and in the attempted murder of her ex-nephew-in-law, Brandon Boudreaux. She was given two additional life sentences for the two Arizona convictions.
