Chad Daybell Found Guilty in Murders of Ex-Wife and Stepchildren

Verdict Ends Trial that Gripped the Nation

Pair Found Responsible for Deaths of Tammy Daybell, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan

After nearly two months of testimony, a jury in Idaho has found Chad Daybell guilty of first-degree murder in the deaths of his ex-wife Tammy Daybell and his stepchildren Joshua "JJ" Vallow and Tylee Ryan.

The verdict follows a trial that gripped the nation with its bizarre details, including fringe religious beliefs, an affair, and the search for the missing children. The prosecution alleged that Chad Daybell, along with his wife Lori Vallow Daybell, conspired to kill the children and Tammy Daybell as part of a plot to prevent their marriage from interfering with their religious practices.

The jury deliberated for three days before reaching a guilty verdict on all four murder charges. Chad Daybell faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Lori Vallow Daybell is still awaiting trial in the case. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
