BOISE, Idaho — Lori Vallow, also known as Lori Vallow Daybell, will be headed to Arizona to face more criminal charges after Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed an extradition agreement Monday.
Vallow was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences in Idaho for the deaths of her two kids, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, as well as her new husband's former wife, Tammy Daybell.
She has been in prison in Idaho since her sentencing in late July.
Her husband, Chad Daybell, who also faces murder charges, is still awaiting trial in Idaho. It's scheduled to begin April 1, 2024 in Ada County.
She also faces two more conspiracy to commit murder charges in Maricopa County, Ariz.
One charge is from a Chandler case connected to the death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow.
In May, another indictment was unsealed for a case out of Gilbert, revealing that Vallow is facing a second conspiracy to commit murder charge for allegedly trying to kill her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. Boudreaux, unlike the other victims, is still alive.
Earlier this week, Little signed the paperwork to send Vallow to Arizona to face trial for those charges, according to a spokesperson for his office.
The details of the extradition, like date and time, were not available.
The backstory on the Arizona charges
Things in this case started to unravel in 2019.
The first significant incident in July of that year is the death of Charles Vallow, who was shot dead by Lori's brother Alex Cox. Originally Cox told Chandler police officers he acted in self-defense. Now, investigators believe he conspired with Lori to have her husband killed.
After Charles' death, Lori moved with her kids Tylee and JJ to Rexburg, Idaho, where Chad Daybell lived. Investigators believe the children were killed in September 2019.
In early October 2019, Brandon Boudreaux called 911 after someone tried to shoot at him. He wasn't hit, but investigators believe it could have been Alex Cox pulling the trigger.
Lori married doomsday author Chad Daybell in November 2019 after Chad's first wife Tammy was killed in mid-October of that year.
Investigators discovered Tylee and JJ's bodies buried in Chad Daybell's backyard in June 2020.
In May 2021, Chad and Lori were charged with murder and conspiracy in the death of her children. Chad was also charged with murdering his first wife Tammy Daybell, while Lori was charged with conspiracy in Tammy's death.
After two delays for mental health checks, Lori's trial started in April 2023 and took about six weeks before a jury came back with a guilty verdict on all six counts she faced. Throughout the proceedings, prosecutors in Idaho accused Lori, Chad and Alex of conspiring to kill people who were "obstacles" to Chad and Lori's relationship.
Alex Cox died at his home in Gilbert in December 2019 before any charges were filed in these cases.
