Concealment of evidence charges dropped against the Daybells Share This Chad and Lori Daybell | Booking photos ST. ANTHONY — Local prosecutors dropped the destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence charges against Chad and Lori Daybell Thursday. Madison County Prosecutor Rob Wood, who is acting as special prosecutor in the Fremont County case, filed a motion to dismiss the evidence charges Wednesday. District Judge Steven Boyce approved the motion, officially dropping the charges Thursday. The couple was indicted in May on various charges, including first-degree murder for the deaths of Chad’s first wife, Tammy Daybell, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow — Lori’s two children. The charges in that indictment are still being prosecuted and the dismissal of the other cases allows prosecutors to better focus on the newer charges with more serious penalties.
