Overview
- The twins, Dallas and Tyson Shaw, were found unresponsive in a shared bed on May 1, 2025, and police treated the deaths as a possible homicide.
- A Payette County grand jury returned an indictment on June 29, 2026, charging Andrea Shaw with two counts of first-degree murder that allege the children were suffocated.
- Authorities arrested Shaw in Boise on June 30, 2026; she is jailed on a $2 million bond and is due back in court on July 14, 2026.
- Shaw and her lawyer continue to say the deaths were caused by routine childhood vaccines after a public appearance on a Children’s Health Defense program, while public health experts and agencies reject a causal vaccine link.
- Police, the medical examiner and state forensic teams conducted the 14-month investigation but have not released detailed evidence, a gap that could shape the trial and deepen public debate over vaccine misinformation and related litigation.
