Doomsday-obsessed ult mom Lori Vallow on Thursday pleaded not guilty for allegedly burying her missing children’s remains in her husband’s Idaho backyard.

Vallow, appearing in Madison County District Court via a Zoom call from jail, entered the not guilty plea for two felony conspiracy charges related to destroying, altering or concealing evidence and agreed to a April 2, 2021 trial date, KJZZ reported.

The mom was hit with the two felonies in June when the remains of her missing kids, 17-year-old Tylee Ryan and six-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow, were found buried in husband Chad Daybell’s backyard after a months long, nationwide search.

Ryan, last seen alive in September 2019, was found badly burned and dismembered, buried in a makeshift pet cemetery in her step-dad’s rural Idaho property. Joshua was found in the same yard, intact but wrapped in duct tape and plastic.

Daybell is facing the same charges as Vallow in a separate case and has also pleaded not guilty but prosecutors have moved to have their cases joined, saying both of the defendant’s alleged actions were the same.

The two judges presiding over the cases have yet to make a decision on the request.

So far, prosecutors are yet to connect the kids’ deaths to Daybell and Vallow.

Vallow rose to infamy late last year when her two kids were reported missing but she refused to help investigators before absconding to Hawaii, where she was later caught and arrested.

Friends previously said she became involved in a doomsday cult and believed her children were zombies.
