“Doomsday Mom” and convicted killer Lori Vallow Daybell has been implicated in an alleged plot to kill her niece’s former husband, court documents revealed this week.
Vallow Daybell, 49, was convicted last week of murder and conspiracy related to the deaths of her daughter Tylee Ryan, 16, son Joshua “J.J.” Vallow, 7, and her husband Chad Daybell’s late wife, Tammy.
In February 2022, Vallow Daybell was also indicted by a grand jury in Maricopa County, Arizona on a charge of conspiracy to commit the first-degree murder of her niece’s ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux, FOX 10’s Justin Lum reported on Tuesday.
The indictment, which remains sealed, alleges that Vallow Daybell and her brother, Alex Cox, agreed that “at least one of them or another would engage in conduct constituting the offense of first degree premeditated murder” on Oct. 2, 2019, Lum said.
Police claim that Cox – who died of natural causes in Dec. 2019 – shot at Boudreaux and tried to kill him outside of his Gilbert home that same day, the East Idaho News reported.
