Lori Vallow “shared with me that [Daybell] told her that they had been married in another time period,” Melanie Gibb said, adding that her friend also told her she had been married to the prophet Moroni from the Book of Mormon.
—and how the mother-of-two used their faith to justify her allegedly murderous actions.
That initial meeting sparked an affair between Daybell and Vallow, one that prosecutors allege would ultimately lead to the three murders within the next year. Prosecutors claim that, driven by their religious beliefs and a thirst for “money, power, and sex,” Vallow and Daybell orchestrated the September 2019 disappearance and murder of her two children, 17-year-oldLater, prosecutors allege, the pair conspired to kill Daybell’s first wife, Tammy, for insurance and social security funds.
Eventually, Gibb said, Vallow said her children were affecting her relationship with Daybell. Gibb testified she last saw Tylee around July or August 2019 in Arizona before Vallow moved the children to Idaho to be closer to Daybell. Authorities believe that JJ and Tylee were murdered around Sept. 22 before their bodies were disposed of in Daybell’s Idaho farm. Two months later, around Thanksgiving, Gibb testified that she received a phone call from Daybell warning her not to answer a call from the Rexburg Police Department looking into JJ’s whereabouts.
