Lori Vallow Daybell Sentenced to Life for 'Zombie' Murders

Lori Vallow Daybell has been sentenced to multiple life terms in prison without parole for murdering her two children and conspiring to murder a romantic rival. The judge ordered consecutive prison terms to ensure punishment for each death. Vallow Daybell was found guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy charges in May. During the sentencing hearing, she maintained her innocence and claimed her victims were alive in the afterlife. The case revealed bizarre religious beliefs and a love affair turned deadly. Chad Daybell, Vallow Daybell's husband, is expected to undergo his own murder trial in 2024. Other criminal cases are pending for Vallow Daybell in Arizona.

Lori Vallow trial: Jury selection ongoing, opening statements pending.

A friend of Lori Vallow, the "Doomsday mom" accused of killing her two children, says that "killing the kids, to them, is mercy" due to Vallow's involvement in a "doomsday cult" led by Chad Daybell. Cult experts say that there is no way to profile the kind of person who can be manipulated into joining a cult, and that even smart and educated people can fall prey to extreme beliefs. Vallow may still be holding on to her "zombie" beliefs as a way to cope with allegedly killing her own children.
