Vallow–Daybell doomsday murders

Summary

The Vallow–Daybell doomsday murders were a series of killings —including child murder, filicide, and spousal murder— committed by American couple Lori Vallow Daybell and Chad Daybell. Chad and Lori led a small, apocalyptic religious group which was described in the media as a doomsday cult. Media coverage initially focused on the pair's religious beliefs, but investigations revealed that the murders also had a financial motive. Ultimately, Chad, Lori, and Lori's brother, Alex Cox, killed four people and attempted to kill another.
