The Book of Daybell | Part 5: Her Aunt Wanted Him Dead

In June 2025, a Phoenix jury took less than an hour to convict Lori Vallow Daybell of conspiring to murder Brandon Boudreaux, who was married to her niece when someone shot at him. The shot shattered his car window outside his Gilbert, Arizona, home on October 2nd, 2019, and prosecutors say the gunman was Lori’s brother, Alex Cox. Part 5 of The Book of Daybell asks what his wife, Melani Pawlowski, knew. That September, she asked Brandon for his new address, and Gilbert police say Alex’s Google account searched it about 13 hours before the shot. A week after the shooting, investigators say Lori spent the night at Melani’s house, the same day a masked man confronted Chad Daybell’s wife, Tammy, in her Idaho driveway. Melani has never been charged in the shooting and maintains her innocence. Gilbert police say the case remains open.
