SALT LAKE CITY — A judge in Idaho has paused a criminal case against Lori Vallow Daybell after an evaluation found that she is not competent to face charges tied to the disappearance of her two children.
The development in that state comes as police in Arizona are recommending that Daybell face a new charge of conspiring to murder a fourth person — her former husband Charles Vallow. Just this week, a grand jury indicted Daybell and her new husband in the death of his former wife and in the killings of her two kids.
Authorities revisited the deaths of Lori Vallow Daybell's and Chad Daybell's former spouses after they began investigating the September 2019 disappearance of Joshua "JJ" Vallow and his sister, Tylee Ryan.
