Jury deliberations continue Thursday in the “doomsday” triple murder trial of Chad Daybell – who could face the death penalty if convicted on murder and conspiracy charges in the deaths of his first wife and his second wife’s two children. Daybell has pleaded not guilty to the charges in the deaths of his first wife, Tammy Daybell, and the children of his second wife, Lori Vallow Daybell -– 16-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow. Authorities have said they believe Tylee and JJ were killed in September 2019 – the month they were last reported to have been seen – and that Tammy Daybell was found dead in her Idaho home on October 19, 2019, a few weeks before Chad Daybell married Lori Vallow Daybell. Tammy Daybell was initially believed to have died in her sleep. Law enforcement found the remains of Tylee and JJ on Chad Daybell’s Fremont County property in June 2020, authorities said. Deliberations began Wednesday and lasted for a little more than two hours. Court will reconvene Thursday at 8 a.m. local time. Idaho prosecutors claim the alleged killings were fueled by power, sex, money and apocalyptic spiritual beliefs. The prosecutors wrote in a court document that each homicide was “especially heinous, atrocious or cruel, manifesting exceptional depravity.”
