Top trial verdicts of 2023: Lori Vallow

An Idaho jury in May found so-called "Doomsday Mom" Lori Vallow, 50, guilty of multiple counts, including two counts of first-degree murder, for the 2019 disappearances and deaths of two of her children, 7-year-old J.J. Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, allegedly with help from her husband, Chad Daybell.

Vallow also conspired to kill Tammy Daybell, Chad Daybell's first wife, in October 2019.

J.J. Vallow and Tylee Ryan's mutilated remains were found on Chad Daybell's rural Rexburg, Idaho, property in 2020, months after they initially disappeared in September 2019.

At the conclusion of her weeks-long murder trial, District Judge Steven Boyce of Fremont County said Vallow "removed" her "children from their home in Arizona, alienated them from friends and family" and brought them to her new home in Idaho "to murder them."

Vallow's attorneys appealed the conviction in September. Last month, she was moved from Idaho to Arizona where she now faces one first-degree murder charge and one premeditated first-degree murder charge in connection with the 2019 death of her ex-husband, Charles Vallow, and an alleged plot to kill her niece's former husband, Brandon Boudreaux.
