Hobbs signs Arizona extradition request for Lori Vallow

Reporters with Fox 10 confirmed Thursday that Gov. Katie Hobbs signed an extradition request for Lori Vallow.

Sometimes referred to as the "Doomsday Mom," Vallow was found guilty in May by an Idaho judge for the murders of her two children, Tylee Ryan and Joshua “JJ” Vallow, as well as Tammy Daybell, the late wife of Vallow’s current husband, Chad Daybell.

Now, Maricopa County officials want to transport her back to Arizona to await trial in connection with the 2019 death of Charles Vallow, whom she was married to prior to Daybell, and for alleged conspiracy concerning the attempted murder of her niece’s ex-husband.
