The couple was indicted for the death of the children and Daybell’s first wife, Tammy Daybell, in May 2021. The cases have been severed and they now face separate trials.

Gilbert said she remembers Chad telling her that he had a vision about “Tammy’s time on earth was coming to an end” and “he didn’t see her living past the age of 50.”
The judge ruled that 40 minutes of a podcast Lori Vallow Daybell recorded with others centering around religious ideology could be played for the jury. Each section played for the jury revealed how each she and the others found God.
