But an autopsy showed she was asphyxiated to death, Prosecutor Lindsey Blake told jurors earlier this month.Ĭhad Daybell is also charged in the triple murder case. Tammy Daybell was initially described as having died in her sleep of natural causes.

Friends told police that in some cases they determined a person had become a “zombie,” fully controlled by the evil spirit. Friends of the couple told investigators that the pair shared the same unusual beliefs, including that they could tell if someone had been taken over by an evil spirit.Ĭhad and Lori led a group of friends in trying to cast out the supposed evil spirits by praying and doing “energy work,” prosecutors said. The two purportedly felt an “instant connection” and claimed they had been married to each other in a past life, according to police records.

Their bodies were found the following year buried in Chad Daybell’s yard.ĭaybell, 54, was also a member of the LDS church and a self-published author who wrote doomsday-focused fiction loosely based on church teachings. They were last seen in September, and they were declared missing in November after extended family urged police to investigate. Shortly after Charles’ death, Vallow Daybell moved to eastern Idaho with JJ, Tylee and her brother Cox.Ĭhad Daybell became her fifth husband on Novemroughly two weeks after his previous wife Tammy Daybell died under suspicious circumstances.
