Idaho Attorney General Takes Over Doomsday Couple Investigation
The Idaho Attorney General’s Office has taken over the investigation of doomsday couple Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell—and a document in the case reveals potential charges include conspiracy and murder.
The Fremont County prosecutor requested help from the AG’s office in investigating the death of Daybell’s first wife, according to a letter obtained by East Idaho News. Under the heading of “Defendant/Matter,” the AG listed “Chad Daybell, Lori Daybell/Conspiracy, Murder, Attempted Murder.”
Authorities have not publicly accused the newlyweds—who are tied to two missing children, three mysterious deaths, and several bizarre incidents—of those crimes. Instead, in a separate case, Vallow is being held on charges of child abandonment and contempt of court for failing to produce her children. Daybell, the author of apocalyptic novels, has not been charged with anything.
