Doomsday Couple – Murder Charges and Mental Competency

06/10/21 • 38 min

It’s been 8 months since the bodies of Tylee Ryan and her little brother JJ Vallow were discovered buried in Chad Daybell’s backyard. But at the time no murder charges were filed against Daybell and his new wife, the children’s mother, Lori Vallow. All that has changed now as the couple were charged with the deaths of not only Tylee and JJ, but also Chad’s first wife Tammy. That alone would be a major update in the story, but then days later it was revealed that Lori has been deemed mentally unfit to stand trial, prompting the judge to put a halt to all proceedings in her case. Court TV anchor Ted Rowland’s joins host Vinnie Politan to discuss all of the revelations and how they could impact the case going forward.
