Chad Daybell Case Update: Death Row Appeal and Arizona Verdicts
Boise, Idaho – July 31, 2025 – Chad Daybell, convicted in the high-profile murders of his first wife, Tammy Daybell, and two stepchildren, Tylee Ryan and Joshua “JJ” Vallow, remains on death row at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Kuna, Idaho. The case, which has gripped the nation due to its ties to extremist religious beliefs and multiple homicides, continues to unfold as legal proceedings advance.
Conviction and Sentencing
On May 30, 2024, an Idaho jury found Daybell guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and insurance fraud in connection with the deaths of Tammy Daybell, Tylee Ryan, and JJ Vallow. Two days later, on June 1, 2024, the same jury sentenced him to death. District Judge Steven Boyce formally imposed the death penalty, and Daybell was transferred to the maximum security facility’s J-Block on June 3, 2024, where he is housed alongside other notable inmates, including Bryan Kohberger.
Ongoing Appeal
Daybell’s legal team filed a notice of appeal with the Idaho Supreme Court on June 5, 2024, challenging both the conviction and the death sentence. In September 2024, a judge granted the defense additional time to prepare for post-conviction relief, citing the case’s complexity. Legal experts anticipate the appeals process could span several years, delaying any execution proceedings.
Property Developments
The Fremont County property where Tylee and JJ’s remains were discovered in 2020, and where Tammy Daybell was killed, was listed for sale in June 2024. The new owners have announced plans to demolish the home and other structures on the site, marking a significant step in the community’s efforts to move forward from the tragedy.
Lori Vallow Daybell’s Arizona Trials
Lori Vallow Daybell, Chad Daybell’s second wife and co-defendant, faced additional legal consequences in 2025. Already serving three consecutive life sentences without parole for the Idaho murders, Vallow Daybell was extradited to Arizona to face charges related to the 2019 murder of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux, her former nephew-in-law. In April 2025, she was convicted of Charles Vallow’s murder, and in June 2025, she was found guilty of the attempted murder of Boudreaux. On July 25, 2025, she received two additional life sentences, further cementing her lifelong incarceration.
Public Reaction on X
The case continues to generate significant discussion on X, with users expressing a range of sentiments. Many have voiced support for the death penalty in Daybell’s case, citing the heinous nature of the crimes, with posts such as, “Justice served for those poor kids and Tammy. Chad Daybell deserves no mercy.” Others have focused on the emotional toll of the case, particularly for the victims’ families, with one user stating, “The pain of losing Tylee, JJ, and Tammy will never fade, but I hope these verdicts bring some closure.” However, some X users have questioned the death penalty itself, arguing, “Life without parole is punishment enough—why prolong the suffering with appeals?” The ongoing legal developments and the Arizona verdicts have kept the case in the public eye, fueling debates about justice, retribution, and the complexities of the legal system.
Looking Ahead
As Chad Daybell’s appeal progresses, the case remains a focal point for those following true crime and legal proceedings. No further developments have been reported as of July 31, 2025.
