Doomsday Plot: Idaho Jury Convicts Chad Daybell Of Killing Wife And Girlfriend’s 2 Children
BOISE, Idaho — An Idaho man was convicted Thursday of murdering his wife and his new girlfriend’s two youngest children in a bizarre triple murder case that involved allegations of apocalyptic prophecies, zombie offspring, and illicit affairs.
Jurors debated for only six hours before convicting Chad Daybell in a case that began in 2019 and encompassed at least four states. Daybell, standing and dressed in a long-sleeved dress shirt, remained silent while the verdicts were read.
Jurors will now decide whether Daybell, 55, should die for the killings of Tammy Daybell, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow. The sentencing phase of the nearly two-month-long trial resumes on Friday.

Idaho Jury Convicts Chad Daybell Of Killing Wife And Girlfriend’s 2 Children
“Everything was addressed, every item was ‘guilty,’ and for that, I’m happy,” JJ’s grandfather, Larry Woodcock, told The Associated Press. “I’m still sad for the loss — there were four lives lost in this for no purpose, no reason — but my wife and I are just so satisfied with the verdict.”
Lori Vallow Daybell, the children’s mother, was sentenced to life in prison without parole last year for the same conspiracy and murder counts. She married Chad Daybell only two weeks after Tammy Daybell was killed. She is currently awaiting trial in Arizona, charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. Charles Vallow was JJ’s father.
The court in the case has issued a gag order, banning counsel on both sides from speaking with the media until the trial is completed.
The case received extensive media attention, and the court transferred the trial from the remote Idaho village where the killings took place to Boise to ensure a fair and impartial jury.
During the punishment phase, prosecutors will attempt to demonstrate that the offenses deserve the death penalty because they were extremely wicked, heinous, or cruel or that they fulfill one of the other “aggravating factors” specified in state law. Daybell’s defense, however, will attempt to provide the jury with mitigating factors to demonstrate that a reduced sentence is more suitable.
The investigation began five years ago when JJ’s grandparents, Kay and Larry Woodcock, got concerned that Vallow Daybell was refusing to let them call the kid. Despite living in different states, JJ and his grandparents had been close, with regular video conversations since he was approximately three years old. Larry Woodcock described JJ as incredibly clever and autistic, and anytime he ran out of things to say, he’d remark, “Mawmaw, Pawpaw, I don’t know.”
“In the last few years of his life, he honed his wit and charisma. Larry Woodcock stated, “If there’s one thing I miss, it’s his wit.” “There’s not a day that goes by now that my wife and I don’t turn to each other and say, ‘Mawmaw, I don’t know,’ or ‘Pawpaw, I don’t know.'”
In 2019, Kay Woodcock requested that police check on the youngster. Investigators quickly recognized both children were gone, and a multistate search began. The investigation quickly took some unexpected directions.
Investigators believe Vallow and Chad Daybell were conducting an affair when both of their spouses died unexpectedly. Vallow Daybell’s husband, Charles, was fatally shot by her brother, Alex Cox, in Arizona in July 2019; the brother claimed self-defense. He wasn’t charged.
Vallow Daybell, her two children, JJ and Tylee, and Cox later relocated to eastern Idaho to be closer to Daybell, a self-published author of doomsday-themed fiction partly based on Mormon beliefs.
Tammy Daybell died in October 2019. Chad Daybell first informed authorities that she had an ailment and died in her sleep, but an examination later revealed that she died from asphyxiation. Chad and Vallow Daybell married just two weeks after Tammy Daybell’s death, which surprised family members.
Nearly a year after going missing, the children’s bones were discovered buried on Chad Daybell’s ranch in eastern Idaho. Investigators discovered that both children died in September 2019. Prosecutors allege that Cox collaborated with Chad and Vallow Daybell in all three deaths. However, Cox died of natural causes during the inquiry and was never charged.
Prosecutors called scores of witnesses to back up their assertions that Chad Daybell and Vallow Daybell conspired to murder the children and Tammy Daybell to remove any hurdles to their relationship and collect money from survivor benefits and life insurance policies. Prosecutors said the pair justified the crimes by developing an apocalyptic belief system in which people might be possessed by bad spirits and transformed into “zombies,” and the only way to save a possessed person’s soul was for the possessed body to die.

According to Fremont County prosecutor Lindsay Blake, Daybell claimed to be the leader of “The Church of the Firstborn” and informed Vallow Daybell and others that he could tell whether someone had turned into a “zombie.” Daybell also claimed to be able to tell how near a person was to death by reading their “death percentage,” Blake said during final arguments on Wednesday.
According to Blake, Daybell used these pieces to create a pattern for each of those killed.
“Chad Daybell would classify them as ‘dark’. Their ‘death percentage’ would decrease. “Then they would have to die,” she explained.
Blake further said Daybell duped Vallow Daybell and her brother, Cox, into assisting with the plot, at times bestowing spiritual blessings’ on Cox and telling Vallow Daybell that the angels were unhappy because she was ignoring him.
Daybell’s defense attorney, John Prior, disputed the prosecution’s representations of Daybell’s beliefs. He described Daybell as a traditional member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a highly pious man who shared his spiritual convictions whenever possible.

Prior alleged that authorities looked for evidence against Daybell rather than the facts of the case and that the atrocities were done by the children’s late uncle, Cox. He stated that Cox had killed JJ Vallow’s father in Arizona and that the two children were the only witnesses to the shooting. He further claimed Cox attempted to frame Daybell by burying the deceased children in his yard.
During the sentencing phase, jurors will be asked whether Daybell should be sentenced to death (Idaho law allows for execution by lethal injection or firing squad) or life in prison. Woodcock stated that he would be satisfied with either decision.
“This is what you get for murdering children. This is what you get for murdering your wife. “Chad decided, and he knew it was wrong,” Woodcock explained.

(VOR News) – The results of a recent study suggest that telehealth therapy may lower the risk of suicide. In the United States, a study was conducted.
The results of a study that was published in the journal JAMA Network Open on November 12 indicate that cognitive behavior therapy can help lower the number of suicide attempts and thoughts.
US Telehealth researchers conducted the study.
This predicament is still true even when therapy is delivered via telehealth for a little period of time. As a result of the information they discovered during the investigation, the researchers finally reached this conclusion.
According to a study conducted by clinical psychologist Justin Baker, a researcher at Ohio State University, this is information that should be promoted.
According to Baker, this is a result of the fact that, at this specific point in history, therapy is increasingly being delivered via the use of virtual methods.
Baker was said to have stated, “The nearly overnight shift from mostly in-person to mostly virtual therapy appointments following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was the impetus for this research question.” Ohio State published a press release that contained this message.
In making this claim, Baker was alluding to the fact that the shift occurred very immediately after the outbreak began. Baker was referring to the changes brought about by the pandemic outbreak spreading significantly.
It has long been thought that patients who are deemed to be at high risk are not suitable candidates for virtual healthcare. This is because the use of virtual healthcare is linked to both accountability and the possibility of harm.
We randomly assigned the following telehealth programs to 96 Americans:
They received instruction on how to control and alter the disturbing ideas and bad notions they were experiencing through telehealth cognitive behavioral therapy, with a special emphasis on suicide. They received this instruction while participating in the activity.
A treatment method called present-centered therapy is used to help patients deal with the difficulties they are currently confronting in their life.
The results of the study conducted by the researchers demonstrated that a present-focused approach to treatment is a successful way to reduce depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts. Research has shown that therapeutic approaches that focus on the present moment are useful.
However, the results of this study show that when it came to reducing the proportion of patients who attempted suicide while getting telehealth services, cognitive behavioral therapy outperformed present-centered therapy.
Furthermore, the results showed that both treatments were effective in lowering the number of suicidal thoughts that patients thought about taking their own lives. The effectiveness of both therapies served as evidence for this.
Craig Bryan, a researcher and the chairman of telehealth Ohio State University’s Suicide Prevention Program, says, “We have good, tested treatments that will lead to significant symptom reduction and improved quality of life for those who are suffering from suicidal thoughts and behaviors.”
In addition, Bryan is currently the program’s leader. Additionally, Bryan is currently in charge of the program. “We have treatments that have been proven to be effective.”
Bryan said that a considerable percentage of therapists are still maintaining some aspect of their telemedicine practice following the epidemic, even though limitations are being loosened.
This leads to the scenario even when boundaries are being loosened. “The results of this study have the potential to expand access to essential treatments that are supported by evidence for people living in rural and difficult-to-reach areas.”
You should call the telehealth Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 if you or a loved one is experiencing an emotional or suicide crisis if you are experiencing emotional distress. They are available to listen to your issues as well as offer support.

The Main US Inflation Tracker Increased For The First Time Since March.
(VOR News) – The challenging road to lower levels is demonstrated by the fact that one of the most important measures of inflation in the United States has increased for the first time since March.
The consumer price index (CPI), a metric that gauges price inflation across a variety of goods, at an annual rate of 2.6% as October reached its peak. The CPI has never been higher than it was at this time.
According to reports, the rate was 2.4% last month, the lowest in over three years. This rate is higher than the one that was noted the month before.
Eliminating food and energy, “core” inflation stayed at 3.3%.
This occurred upon completion of the computation. Following this stage, the index underwent a thorough analysis. A reading was considered accurate if it agreed with the estimates provided by economists.
Even though inflation has somewhat decreased since reaching its greatest level in four decades in the summer of 2022, many Americans still face financial hardship as a result of years of rising prices. This can be attributed to the fact that inflation peaked in the summer of 2022.
According to exit poll results, a significant number of Republican voters expressed dissatisfaction with their own financial circumstances as well as the state of the US economy.
Their voiced displeasure was a reflection of their dissatisfaction. A significant factor that contributed to the election was the ire generated by the rising cost of living. This rage was among the most important factors.
Concerns have been expressed regarding the real effects that these reforms would have on the inflation rate. Donald Trump proposed tax cuts and tariffs as workable answers throughout his campaign, but there have been questions raised over the real effects of these measures.
The next president has promised to levy tariffs on all U.S. imports that are at least 10 percent higher than the current rate, according to the results of a research by Yale’s Budget Lab.
The implementation of this strategy, which many industry experts believe would almost surely result in an increase in inflation of up to 5.1%, has already been made public.
It was the first time in four years that the Federal Reserve started lowering interest rates in September, which marked the first time in four years they had done so.
This was the first time they had ever implemented inflation.
The Federal Reserve has reached a significant turning point in its attempts to control inflation at this particular moment. Additional interest rate cuts were implemented Monday, lowering them to their lowest point since February 2023. Since February 2023, they have not been this low.
The Federal Reserve’s chairman, Jerome Powell, said the Fed “has gained confidence that we’re on a sustainable path down to 2%,” the target it has set for its inflation rate.
He hosted a news conference where he made this declaration. Considering the previously mentioned, he added that “the task is incomplete.”
As part of its “dual mandate,” the Fed is working to keep inflation from rising while also keeping the unemployment rate from rising. This is being done from the Federal Reserve’s point of view.
Over the past few months, the labor market has been significantly slowing down; in October, the United States created just 12,000 new jobs.
This suggests that there is a downturn in the labor market. In October 2023, the unemployment rate was 4.1%, which was a low figure that was similar to levels before the sickness started. Since the illness had not yet spread, this was the situation. This occurred following a reduction in the rate, which came to 3.4% in February 2023.
In response to a query concerning the impact of the election on the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions, Powell said that officials “do not know the timing or substance of any policy changes.”
Powell was questioned on the significance of the election. As a consequence, we are unable to determine the possible economic impact of this. The current circumstances are to blame for this.

Trudeau Insists Trump Isn’t a Threat Despite His Past Rhetoric
The Trudeau government has invoked federal authority to halt union strike actions at the ports of Vancouver, Prince Rupert, and Montreal, claiming economic damage and the loss of trading partners.
This is the second time in a few months that the Trudeau government has intervened to end a labor conflict. In August, Trudeau ordered work stoppages at the country’s two main railway corporations to cease.
Canadian Labor Minister Steven MacKinnon stated that the supply chain has been damaged and that it will take weeks to clear the container congestion affecting Canadian and US companies. He informed reporters that he had ordered the country’s industrial relations board to end the strike and impose binding arbitration.
“As the economic losses threaten the country and begin to mount, it is up to the government to ensure that … we can get on with the economic life of this country and avoid layoffs and other carnage,” he stated during a news conference.
“Canadians have a limited tolerance right now for economic self-harm.”
The issue, which MacKinnon claimed was hurting more than C$1.3 billion ($932 million) in goods every day, has already hampered shipments of canola oil, forest products, and other goods. Business organizations applauded the announcement.
Union Strike Action Heads to Court
International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 514, representing supervisory longshore workers at the core of the British Columbia conflict, has announced that it will submit a legal challenge to the minister’s instructions.
“We will fight this order in the courts,” stated Frank Morena, president of ILWU Local 514.
“And we will not forget how these employers and this federal Liberal government have attacked not only the ILWU but all of labor.”
MacKinnon said the Canada Industrial Relations Board, which is independent but reports to Ottawa, will issue the required orders in a few days.
The left-leaning government has previously declared that it prefers to resolve labor problems through collective bargaining. MacKinnon said he was forced to interfere when federal mediators reported that discussions in Montreal and Vancouver had reached a stalemate.
The left-of-center opposition New Democrats, a pro-union group supporting the minority Liberal administration, accused Ottawa of giving in to employers.
“Back-to-work orders suppress wages for all Canadians, so billionaires get richer, and the rest of us fall further behind,” leader Jagmeet Singh said in a statement but did not mention bringing the Liberals down.
Trudeau Government Sends Dangerous Message
The Teamsters union, representing employees at the two major train companies, has launched court challenges to labor board judgments that ordered them back to work.
“The government is sending a dangerous message: employers can bypass meaningful negotiations, lock out their workers, and wait for political intervention to secure a more favorable deal,” the Canadian Labour Congress said.
After rejecting a final offer for a new labor deal, the Montreal Longshoremen’s Union called a lockout. As a result, canola oil and forest products exports from West Coast ports, including Vancouver, have ceased.
“These work stoppages are impacting our supply chain, hundreds of thousands of Canadian jobs, our economy, and our reputation as a reliable international trading partner,” said MacKinnon, who said employers and unions had not acted quickly enough.
“I’ve directed the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order that all operations and duties at the ports resume and to assist the parties in settling their collective agreements by imposing final and binding arbitration,” he told reporters.
