An Idaho mother who told an anti-vaccine podcast that routine jabs killed her twin toddlers now stands accused of suffocating them herself.

Andrea Shaw, 23, faces two counts of first-degree murder over the deaths of her 18-month-old children, Dallas and Tyson, who were found lifeless in a shared bed at their Payette home on 1 May 2025. A grand jury returned the indictment on 29 June 2026, and prosecutors may seek the death penalty if she is convicted.
