Investigations of this case are still in an early stage. Two
children are missing. Multiple deaths of persons associated with Lori Vallon
Daybell are under investigation including those of three of her five husbands.
It will be a complex investigation and prosecution will likely take years. The crimes seem to have been committed under the influence of a “cult” sect, an offshoot of the Church of the Latter Day Saints.
Our post on widely publicized case will develop over time.
Here are some facts regarding the “cult” and the multiple motives – religious,
financial – behind the suspected murders.
~ CULT ~
“Connecting all of the mysterious events the couple have
left in their wake is a doomsday forum that helped bring the couple together: Preparing
a People. . . . Lori’s current husband and co-defendant, Chad Daybell, “a
51-year-old author, had penned and self-published more than 25 doomsday books
for Mormon audiences including fantasies of a dystopian world wrought by
bioterrorism attacks and catastrophic natural disasters.” [Paulina Cachero, “Inside
Preparing a People, the doomsday prepper group Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell
were involved in,” Insider, Jan 28, 2020]
One witness has stated that Lori “shared concerns that she’s
been told Brandon” Bordeaux, a relative, “needed to die and that may indicate
that Tylee and JJ [Joshua] needed to die as well." [Minyvonne Burke, “Lori
Vallow saw her now-missing kids Joshua and Tylee as 'zombies,' court docs claim,”
NBC News, Mar. 24, 2020]
~ LIFE INSURANCE ~
“Court documents show [Chad Darrell] received $430,000 in
life insurance money after Tammy died. Multiple sources say the funds came from
several policies and Chad made “significant” increases to at least one policy
before Tammy passed away.” [Nate Eaton, “Life insurance increase, quick burial
and other ‘weird’ things Chad Daybell’s friends noticed,” East Idaho News, Mar.
