All the cases against Vallow are suspended while she is committed to the Director of Idaho Department of Health for treatment at an appropriate facility not to exceed 90 days according to the order.

Vallow, along with her husband Chad Daybell are charged with multiple counts of conspiracy to murder, first-degree murder and other charges in the death of her two children-Joshua "JJ"Vallow and Tylee Ryan-and the death of Daybell's first wife, Tammy Daybell.

The order comes after Vallow's defense attorney, Mark Means, requested an evaluation in March. A clinical psychologist met with Vallow in the Madison County Jail on two days, writing she was "not competent to proceed." In response, Prosecutor Rob Wood originally filed a contest to the findings, but later rescinded his argument.

Where and when Vallow travels for treatment has not been released.
