Idaho prosecutors suggested motives, showed graphic photos and described a complicated plot involving efforts to cast out evil spirits Monday in the triple murder trial of a woman accused in the deaths of her two kids and a romantic rival
On Tuesday, a detective who helped unearth the children's bodies is expected to take the stand.
Vallow Daybell never reported her two youngest children missing, prosecutors said. Instead, Rexburg police said both she and Chad Daybell lied to investigators about the kids' whereabouts. The search for the kids lasted for months before it came to a tragic conclusion in June of 2020, their remains found buried in Chad Daybell's eastern Idaho yard.
“Remember, the defendant will remove any obstacle in her way to get what she wants, and she wanted Chad Daybell,” Blake said. “Did she kill, or did she assist, or did she encourage, or did she direct? They aren’t sure,” Archibald said. “The common theme was the body has to be destroyed," Blake said."The defendant and Chad used their self-proclaimed religious teachings to justify their actions to others — their actions from affair to murder.”
“He just said, ‘Hi Mama, hi Papa,’” Woodcock said, referring to JJ's nicknames for his grandparents. “'Gotta go, Mama. Gotta go, Papa. Bye!'”and asked them to do a welfare check on JJ, prompting Rexburg Police to open a missing persons case in November 2019. During that period, police say the couple lied about the children's whereabouts.
It may not have been the first attempt on Tammy Daybell's life: Ten days earlier, she had called police to report that a masked man approached her in her driveway and shot at her a couple of times before running away.
