Lori Vallow, the notorious figure already serving life sentences for the murders of her two children, has been hit with additional charges in Arizona. Prosecutors allege she played a role in the death of her former husband, Charles Vallow, in 2019.
New Charges Emerge
Authorities in Maricopa County have charged Vallow, 50, with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in connection with Charles Vallow's shooting. This development comes after years of investigation into the complex case that has captivated true crime audiences worldwide.
A Twisted Timeline
The case dates back to July 2019 when Charles Vallow was fatally shot by Lori's brother, Alex Cox, in Chandler, Arizona. Cox claimed self-defense and died months later from natural causes. However, prosecutors now believe Lori conspired in her husband's murder.
This new indictment adds another layer to Vallow's disturbing criminal history, which includes:
- Conviction for killing her children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan
- Involvement in a doomsday religious group
- Marriage to multiple husbands including Chad Daybell, also convicted in the children's deaths
Legal Proceedings Ahead
Vallow is currently imprisoned in Idaho but will be extradited to Arizona to face these new charges. Legal experts suggest the prosecution will rely heavily on digital evidence and testimony from associates to prove conspiracy.
The case continues to unfold as investigators piece together what they describe as a web of deceit, religious extremism, and multiple homicides spanning two states.
