REXBURG, Idaho — Police arrested Chad Daybell in June 2019 near his home in Rexburg, Idaho after the bodies of Lori Vallow's children were found buried in his backyard.
Two weeks before marrying Lori on a beach in Hawaii, his wife of 30 years, Tammy Daybell, died of natural causes. Since then, her death is now being investigated again and her body was exhumed.
Taylor and Jen also explore Daybell's teachings, books, and podcasts on real-life zombies and the end of the world that only intensified Lori's extreme religious views.
One Foot in the Grave is a KREM 2 podcast is about an investigation originating from rural Idaho town, and it is now gripping the nation. At the surface level – it centers around newlyweds, Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell, appearing to enjoy their new life together in Hawaii.

There was no sign of life from the kids, but there was also no sign of death. And the couple? They aren’t talking. But as investigators would later learn, it’s a case that speaks volumes without ever saying a word.
