District Judge Steven Boyce has ordered a stay on the criminal cases of Lori Vallow after a psychological evaluation found she was incompetent to stand trial.
âThe completed assessment determined that the Defendant is not competent to proceed, and recommends restorative treatment,â Boyce wrote in his order staying the case.
The order was filed on the same day that the Chandler Police Department in Arizona announced it had submitted an investigation to the Maricopa County Attorneyâs Office concluding Vallow had committed conspiracy to commit first-degree murder against her ex-husband, Charles Vallow. Chandler Police Sgt. Jason McClimans confirmed the department submitted its investigation and that the prosecutor was reviewing the report.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Cox died in December 2019.
Vallow and Daybell are alleged to have extensive doomsday cult affiliations. Filings in a separate civil case have highlighted some of Vallow’s alleged, and bizarre-if-true, beliefs.
