Chad Daybell, The One Mighty and Strong: Religious Zealotry, Mormon Fundamentalism and Murder in Idaho - Paperback

by Tom Evans (Author)

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.
