Jury selection begins in trial of Chad Daybell, accused in deaths of wife, 2 children after "doomsday mom" Lori Vallow convicted

Jury selection is set to begin Monday in the trial of Chad Daybell, who is charged in the deaths of his wife, Tammy Daybell, and then-girlfriend Lori Vallow's two youngest children, 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow and Tylee Ryan, 16.

The bizarre case drew national attention after JJ's grandparents reported the children missing in 2019, weeks after each was last seen, and shortly after the death of Tammy Daybell, which was initially attributed to natural causes. The children's bodies were found burned and buried in the Daybells' backyard in eastern Idaho in 2020.

Chad Daybell's trial is expected to last up to 10 weeks. The 55-year-old self-published author is charged with three counts of first-degree murder.
