A woman on USAwho believed the world was coming to an end, was sentenced on Friday guilty of murdering her two childrenbut also for complicity in the murder of her husband’s ex-wifein a case that shocked public opinion.
Lori Vallow and her husband Chad Deibel were charged with murder, conspiracy and fraud.
Including the 49-year-old Wallow was accused of killing her 16-year-old daughter and 7-year-old stepson, whom she considered, according to investigators, to be “zombies”.
Debel has written several books about the end of the world. The couple, members of an extreme Mormon sect, met when they were involved in a movement preparing for the end of the world.
The justice of the state of Idaho also charged them with fraud because they continued to receive family benefits after the children disappeared.
Valou, who according to testimonies he thought he would save the world, had pleaded not guilty to the charges. Now she faces life in prisonwithout the right to parole.
In 2006, Vallow married businessman Charles Vallow, and together they raised Tylee, Lori’s daughter from a previous marriage. In 2014 they adopted Jay Jay, the grandson of Charles’ sister.
In 2017, Lori’s behavior began to change, friends and family said, after she began reading books by Chad Debel, which drew heavily on Mormon beliefs.
The two met in 2018 and began recording a religious podcast. The couple believed that people have either a ‘light’ or a ‘dark’ spirit and called those possessed by evil spirits ‘zombies’. He thought that the only way to save one’s soul from the darkness was to kill it.
In January 2019, Charles Vallow addressed the police complaining that his wife believed she was a god and was preparing for the end of the world, while threatened to kill him. Finally she filed for divorce.
When he visited the home where his ex-wife lived with her brother Alex Cox to pick up his son, Cox shot and killed him. At the time, Vallow’s brother said he reacted defensively.
In the fall of 2019, his ex-wife Dabel died, from “natural causes”, as originally stated. However, after a necropsy, it was found that the cause of death was suffocation.
It was during this time that Jay Jay’s grandparents searched for the children, which led the Idaho State Police to begin an investigation when it became known that there had been no sign of them for weeks. For a long time, Vallow and Deibel claimed that the children were “safe and happy.” In June 2020, authorities found the children’s remains in the backyard of Debel’s home in Rexburg, Idaho.
