Chad Daybell, The One Mighty and Strong

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.
