Idaho Mother Andrea Shaw Faces 2 Murder Charges in Twins' Deaths, Held on $2 Million Bond

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 6

Summary

  • Andrea Shaw, 23, appeared virtually in Payette County court on Thursday after a grand jury indicted her on two first-degree murder counts in the deaths of her 18-month-old twins, Dallas and Tyson.
  • The indictment accuses Shaw of suffocating the toddlers, who police found dead in a shared bed on May 1, 2025; she was arrested in Boise on Tuesday and extradited to Payette County.
  • A judge advised Shaw that the charges carry potential penalties up to the death penalty, and she remains jailed on a $2 million bond.
  • Days after the twins died, Shaw and her husband said on a Children's Health Defense-funded podcast that vaccinations caused the deaths, a claim her lawyer still repeats without offering evidence.
