Lori Vallow grins during court appearance for latest murder conspiracy charge. Pictures show ‘doomsday mom happy in handcuffs and smiles in jumpsuit’
LORI Vallow grinned from ear to ear on Wednesday as she appeared in court over her latest murder conspiracy charge.
The “doomsday mom” who was convicted of murdering her two children, was in pleasant spirits during her scheduling conference in Arizona.
Vallow’s children Tylee Ryan, 16, and Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 7, disappeared in September 2019 sparking nationwide interest.
Vallow and her husband, Chad Daybell, refused to answer what had happened to the children, leading to police finding their bodies in shallow graves on Daybell’s property a year later.
The couple has been connected to multiple deaths including that of Charles Vallow, Alexander Cox, and Tammy Daybell, Chad’s wife at the time.
The mother of three was found guilty for the deaths of her children and Daybell’s wife.
Prosecutors believe that she killed her kids so she could start a new life with her husband.
They also believe that the couple conspired to kill Tammy for a similar reason.
While Vallow is currently serving life in prison in Idaho, she also faces additional charges in Arizona.
She appeared in a scheduling conference where she is facing two counts of conspiracy to murder for allegedly planning to kill her ex-husband, Charles Vallow, and attempting to kill Brandon Boudreaux.
“VERY CHATTY: Lori Vallow described as being ‘very sociable’ throughout trip to court as new mugshot is released”
Vallow was extradited from prison in Pocatello, Idaho to Phoenix, Arizona in December, where she was described as being “very chatty” during her 18-hour trip.
Sheriff Paul Penzone said Vallow was “very sociable” during a press conference.
“The entire trip — she talked quite a bit. I don’t know that she gave any specific statements related to the investigation, but I just know that they said she was very chatty.”
Her extradition was requested by the Maricopa County’s attorney’s office, and they revealed that she will remain in custody and without bail.
“She’s deemed to be high security,” Penzone said. “So she’ll be isolated in a high-security area.”
A new mugshot was released to the public, showing Vallow staring at the camera with wide eyes.
“Pursuing criminals and bringing them to justice is what we do, and we’re very good at it,” Penzone wrote in a statement.
“MY POWERS: Lori Vallow accused of using ‘powers’ to threaten late husband before his death as part of killing spree”
Vallow is accused of working with her brother, Alex Cox to murder her late fourth husband, Charles Vallow.
The two were married for 12 years, before Charles filed for divorce, claiming Lori had adopted new spiritual ideologies based on the Mormon faith.
The convicted killer has been accused of planning Charles’s murder so she could marry Daybell, as well as get Charles a $1 million life insurance policy.
Cox reportedly died of a pulmonary blood clot that same year.
On July 19, 2019, Cox called the police and “reported that he had shot and killed his brother-in-law,” the Maricopa County prosecutor’s office said.
He claimed that at the time of the shooting, he was acting in self-defense.
Months before his death Charles has told police that his wife had threatened to kill him.
“I can murder you now, with my powers,” she said, according to Charles.
“THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TYLEE AND JJ: Doomsday cult leader Lori Vallow refused to report missing kids and left their bodies on ‘horror’ property as she married co-conspirator”
Vallow had captured the world’s attention after her kids Tylee and JJ had gone missing.
The children’s grandparents would be the ones to report the kids missing in November 2019.
Officers would attempt to conduct a welfare check for the kids but soon realized that Vallow and Daybell’s demeanor was concerning.
In February 2020, Vallow was arrested for not reporting that her kids were missing.
After the arrest, police were able to search Daybell’s home, where they found the bodies of JJ and Tylee.
The alleged cult leader would not only be tied to the murder of Vallow’s kids but would also be accused of killing his wife Tammy.
