A jury in Idaho has unanimously agreed that Chad Daybell deserves the death penalty for the gruesome murders of his wife and his girlfriend’s two youngest children. The 55-year-old Daybell showed no emotion upon learning his fate, facing the death penalty for the murders of Tammy Daybell, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow. The jury's decision came after deliberating for just over a day following Daybell's guilty verdict.
The case began in 2019 when a family member reported the children missing, leading to a multistate search. Nearly a year later, their remains were discovered buried on Chad Daybell's property. Prosecutors presented evidence linking Daybell to the killings, citing his promotion of unusual spiritual beliefs to justify the murders.
