Cult mom's brother-in-law survived murder attempt
22 Oct
Summary
- Brandon Boudreaux survived a murder attempt by Lori Vallow's group.
- He reconnected with Charles Vallow weeks before his death.
- Vallow's group was responsible for four deaths and one attempted murder.
Brandon Boudreaux narrowly survived a murder attempt, with the bullet missing his head by inches. The shooter's car was recognized as belonging to Charles Vallow, Lori Vallow's estranged husband, who had been deceased for over three months. Boudreaux revealed he had reconnected with Charles weeks before the murder. Charles had warned Boudreaux that Lori Vallow would falsely claim he was gay, a claim later disseminated by Vallow's niece's lawyer. Investigators found that Alex Cox searched for directions to Boudreaux's home and Vallow searched online for a report of the shooting.
Lori Vallow, her husband Chad Daybell, and Alex Cox were collectively responsible for the murders of four people: Vallow's daughter Tylee Ryan, adopted son J.J., Charles Vallow, and Daybell's wife Tammy. Vallow was found guilty of conspiring to murder Charles Vallow on April 22, 2025, and conspiring to murder Boudreaux on June 12, 2025. The events highlight the deadly actions of the doomsday cult led by Vallow and Daybell.
