Appearing with his attorney, John Prior, Daybell appeared via Zoom during the hearing and was read a litany of charges filed against him for the death of his first wife, Tammy Daybell and the deaths of Tylee Ryan and Joshua Vallow. Charges include first-degree murder involving all three of the victims.

The other defendant in the case of the Ryan and Joshua Vallow, the children's mother, Lori Vallow, failed to hear the new charges facing her.

Following a sidebar conversation between Magistrate Judge Faren Eddins and Vallow's attorney, Mark Means, the hearing was continued. Special Prosecutor Rob Wood objected to the continuance.

Both Daybell and Vallow were already incarcerated on $1 million bail on charges related to the concealment and destruction of the bodies of the children.

The couple is charged with the following:

• Lori and Chad Daybell were indicted on the charge of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and grand theft by deception for the death of Tylee Ryan.
