A former juror in the Lori Vallow Daybell murder
trial delves into the case of Chad Daybell, exploring
the disturbing beliefs and events that led to his
conviction. Tom Evans, who served as Juror #18 in
Vallow's trial and later attended every day of Daybell's
proceedings, provides firsthand insights into the
courtroom, key players, and the overwhelming
evidence that led to six death sentences for Daybell.
The book is divided into two parts: Part I examines
Daybell's life, his deep involvement in extremist
Mormon beliefs, and the influences that shaped his
worldview-including the apocalyptic ideologies
that he and Vallow used to justify their horrific
crimes. Part II offers a detailed account of the trial,
including exclusive interviews with prosecutors,
law enforcement, and individuals close to the case.
With rigorous research and personal experience,
the author paints a chilling portrait of how Daybell
and Vallow orchestrated the murders of her two
children and Daybell's wife, Tammy, in pursuit of
their twisted religious visions. This book not only
sheds light on one of the most shocking true crime
cases in recent history but also serves as a cautionary
tale about the dangers of unchecked extremism.
