Lori Vallow is now accused of Conspiracy to Commit First Degree Murder against her ex-husband Charles Vallow. Charles Vallow was shot and killed on July 11, 2019, by Lori Vallow's brother Alex Cox. The indictment claims Lori promoted or helped her brother with the death of her ex-husband. Cox said he shot Charles in self-defense. Charles said he filed for divorce because he feared she would kill him and that she had developed cult-like beliefs. Just five months after Charles Vallow's death, Alex Cox died of a blood clot. Lori Vallow and her husband Chad Daybell were formally accused of killing Vallow's two children, Tylee and JJ in May.
