Lori Vallow Daybell sentenced to life for Arizona cases

PHOENIX, Arizona (KIFI) - Lori Vallow Daybell was sentenced to two life sentences with the possibility of parole after 25 years for the two murder conspiracy trials in Arizona.

You can watch the hearing below.

She was found guilty in April 2025 of conspiring to kill her former husband, Charles Vallow, and then found guilty of conspiring to kill her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux, on June 12.

Boudreaux said he lived in fear for months after his vehicle was shot at outside his home in 2019.

"I'm a believer in forgiveness, but I do not believe that this means that we can trust those who commit crimes to continue to have the freedom that they had before," Boudreaux said. "I choose to forgive Lori for myself."

During Vallow Daybell's sentencing, people shared how her crimes affected them personally.

"It was 13 years today that JJ's adoption was finalized, and they moved immediately, right away, to Hawaii. And I hope you remember that I trusted you!" screamed Kay Woodcock, Charles Vallow’s sister and JJ’s biological grandmother.

Vallow Daybell is already serving life sentences in Idaho for the deaths of her children, JJ and Tylee, and her husband’s first wife, Tammy Daybell.

Vallow Daybell will now be returned to an Idaho prison.

Before handing down the sentences, Judge Justin Beresky told Vallow Daybell she should never be released from prison. The judge said that over time, she will fade into obscurity.
