Witnesses described Vallow Daybell's demeanor on the day of the murder as calm and ordinary, with her appearing nonchalant shortly after her husband's death.

Lori Vallow Daybell was convicted on April 22, 2025, of conspiring to kill her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, in Arizona, adding to her already serious legal troubles.

Prosecutors argued that Vallow Daybell conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to murder Charles Vallow to collect on his life insurance policy and facilitate her marriage to Chad Daybell, an author with doomsday beliefs.

Charles Vallow had filed for divorce shortly before his death, citing Vallow Daybell's erratic behavior and threats against him, which included bizarre claims about him being a 'zombie'.

Key evidence in the trial included text messages from Vallow Daybell discussing Charles's life insurance shortly after his death, indicating a motive for the murder.

The murder occurred in July 2019 at Vallow's rental home in Chandler, Arizona, when Charles was shot by her brother, Alex Cox, who claimed self-defense and was never charged.

Following the verdict, Charles Vallow's family expressed relief, stating that justice was served and they were ready to move on from the turmoil caused by the case.

Testimony from a medical examiner revealed that Charles Vallow was likely shot while lying on a firm surface, with the fatal bullet striking his heart.

The jury deliberated for three hours over two days before reaching their verdict, during which Vallow Daybell represented herself and maintained a composed demeanor.

Sentencing for Vallow Daybell is expected to occur within about 30 days from the verdict, although it may be delayed due to another pending case against her for conspiring to kill Brandon Boudreaux.

Currently, Vallow Daybell is serving three life sentences in Idaho for the murders of her children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, as well as the murder of Tammy Daybell.

The discovery of the remains of Vallow Daybell's children in June 2020 on Chad Daybell's property shocked the community, further complicating her legal situation.
