PHOENIX – Lori Daybell has been found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder in her second and final trial in Arizona.
The case against the so-called “Doomsday Mom” was given to the jury on Wednesday following closing arguments.
The jury returned to court at 10 a.m. on June 12 to continue deliberations before quickly reaching a verdict.
Just like she did in her first trial, Daybell represented herself in court.
Dabell will be sentenced on July 25.
The backstory:
Daybell is accused of conspiring with her brother, Alex Cox, in the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux, who was once married to Daybell’s niece.
Boudreaux was driving home when a bullet missed him by inches, striking his Tesla. Investigators say Daybell and her late brother Alex Cox planned the attempted murder, accused of using burner phones and removing the Jeep’s backseat and spare rear tire so that Cox could easily fire from the back window.
At the time, Lori was living in Rexburg, Idaho after she moved from the Valley to be closer to her now-husband, Chad Daybell. Brandon was in the middle of a divorce with his wife, Melani Boudreaux, who he says was heavily influenced by Lori, leading to the marriage’s end.
The incident is linked to a series of deadly events in Idaho, including the murders of Daybell’s two children, Joshua “JJ” Vallow and Chad Daybell’s first wife, Tammy.
In April 2025, Daybell was also found guilty of plotting the fatal shooting of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, in Chandler.
