Lindsay Clancy returned to court in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on September 29, 2026, as her defense team requested a dismissal of the murder charges.

Inside the Lori Vallow murder trial: Chilling evidence and guilty verdict.

The sole holdout juror in Lori Vallow Daybell’s murder trial revealed the chilling evidence that “disgusted” him in court — an experience he described as putting a “face to evil.” Vallow Daybell was convicted last week of multiple counts of murder and conspiracy tied to the deaths of her daughter Tylee Ryan, 16, son Joshua “J.J.” Vallow, 7, and her third husband Chad Daybell’s late wife, Tammy. The juror was swayed by gruesome evidence that made it “harder to look at” the mom, including photos of the couple happily dancing at their beach wedding in Hawaii just a few weeks after Tammy Daybell mysteriously died. The juror ultimately bought the prosecution’s argument that Vallow Daybell was a wannabe cultist driven by “money, power, and sex” to kill her children and conspire to help Chad murder Tammy as well. Vallow Daybell faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
