Read our privacy policy The ongoing murder trial of Chad Daybell, who allegedly conspired to murder his wife and his now-convicted girlfriend Lori Vallow’s two children, took an intimate turn on Monday, as jurors listened to text messages the pair once exchanged. Prosecutors allege that Mr Daybell, an author of apocalytpic novels, was driven by a “desire for sex, power, and money” that eventually led him and Vallow to kill Mr Daybell’s wife Tammy, alongside Vallow’s two children Tylee Ryan and Joshua “JJ” Vallow. Vallow’s children vanished in fall of 2019, and Mr Daybell’s wife died in her sleep later that year, a death which an autopsy later showed was due to asphyxiation. The following year, the bodies of Vallow’s two children were found buried in the backyard of what was then Mr Daybell’s home in Rexburg, Idaho.
