ST. ANTHONY, Idaho — Lori Vallow Daybell will be sentenced on July 31 at 9 a.m., according to court documents filed Wednesday.

Earlier this month, a jury convicted Daybell, 49, of murdering her daughter, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and her son, 7-year-old JJ Vallow, and conspiring to kill Tammy Daybell, the then-wife of her new husband, Chad Daybell.

The specific charges include:

  • Conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree of Tylee Ryan and grand theft by deception
  • Murder in the first degree of Tylee Ryan
  • Conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree of Joshua Jaxon "JJ" Vallow and grand theft by deception
  • Murder in the first degree of JJ Vallow
  • Conspiracy to commit first-degree murder of Tamara (Tammy) Daybell
  • Grand theft (of Social Security benefits owed to her children and Social Security child care benefits)

The sentencing will be livestreamed on Judge Steven Boyce's YouTube channel and the hearing will also be streamed on KSL.com. People can also attend in person, but no seats will be reserved.

The sentencing will be held at the Fremont County Courthouse in St. Anthony, Idaho. The trial for Daybell occurred in Boise so attorneys would be able to access a larger jury pool.

Daybell is scheduled to be sentenced 2½ months after the verdict to allow more time for a pre-sentence investigation to be completed.

Correction: An earlier version incorrectly referred to the city as Anthony instead of St. Anthony.
