A judge determined in-person hearings for Chad and Lori Daybell will happen in August.
The Daybells are facing felony charges in Fremont County after investigators discovered the remains of 7-year-old Joshua Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan buried in the backyard of Chad’s Salem home. Court dockets indicate Chad’s hearing will start on Aug. 3rd and Lori’s on Aug. 10th.
Ther judge held recent initial appearances for Lori and Chad respectively over Zoom as the Idaho Supreme Court issued an Emergency Reduction in Court Services and Limitation of Access to Court Facilities on April 22nd.
The order came as a measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and dramatically changed how court proceedings took place across the state.
