Daybell, who is being held on six charges, including three counts of murder, was transferred to Ada County Jail ahead of his upcoming trial which starts April 1.

BOISE, Idaho — Chad Daybell is being now held in the Ada County Jail, according to online jail records.

Daybell, who is being held on six charges, including three counts of murder, was transferred to Ada County Jail from Fremont County ahead of his upcoming trial which starts April 1.

Fremont County District Judge Steven Boyce filed court documents on March 4, stating that Chad Daybell must be transferred to the Ada County Jail from Fremont County no later than March 22. 

As KTVB previously reported, Chad Daybell and his wife, Lori Vallow Daybell, were charged in the deaths of Vallow's children and Daybell's first wife, Tammy Daybell.

Vallow was convicted of murdering her two children, as well as conspiring to kill Tammy Daybell and sentenced to life in prison in 2023. She is currently in Arizona, where she is expected to face charges of conspiracy to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux.

In addition to charges of conspiracy to commit murder and first-degree murder, Daybell faces two counts of insurance fraud and one count of grand theft.

Daybell's trial is scheduled for April 1, 2024, at 9 a.m. at the Ada County Courthouse in Boise.

If convicted, Daybell could be sentenced to death after the Fremont County district court judge struck down two motions from his defense team's attempt to have the form of punishment removed.
