An Idaho mother who allegedly murdered her adorable twin toddlers is enjoying expensive trauma therapy and daily calls with her family from behind bars, according to a new report.

Andrea Shaw, 23, was taken into custody in June after her 18-month-old daughter and son, Dallas and Tyson, were found dead in their bed on May 1, 2025, at a trailer home in Payette – about 60 miles from Boise.

Prosecutors claim that the twins were smothered to death, but Shaw insists that they died after getting Hepatitis A, DTaP, and influenza vaccines.

Shaw has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting her trial inside a jail cell at Payette County Jail.

But her time behind bars hasn’t been all that bad, with Shaw being allowed to video chat with her husband, also 23, and her three-month-old daughter several times a day, The New York Times reported.

Shackled in Stripes

Her criminal defense attorney, Joe Filicetti, also sets up frequent sessions with a trauma counselor who specializes in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (E.M.D.R) therapy, according to the outlet.

A ‘glass barrier’ sits between Shaw and her therapists during her sessions, the NYT said. The therapy typically costs about $100 to $350 per session, depending on how long the appointments last.

It is a form of psychotherapy that is designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories, according to EMDR Institute, Inc.

Filicetti also sends his client books, including the novel ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’, to pass the time in jail, the report stated.

Shaw called 911 on the evening her children died and was taken into custody just days after giving birth to her youngest child the following year.

She donned a red-and-white striped prison jumpsuit, with her hands and feet shackled when she appeared before Judge Kiley Stuchlik.

Changed Her Story Every Time

During her hearing, Payette County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Duke suggested that Shaw was charged with murder after she kept changing her story throughout the investigation, while Nathaniel stuck to a single version of events.

‘There are only two people who could have been involved in this crime. One of them was straightforward and cooperated with law enforcement,’ Duke said, according to KSL.

‘The other changed her story every time it made her look bad, every time there were criminal implications, and she admitted that at the time of death, she was there with the kids.’

Duke added that investigators had ruled out environmental causes like heat or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Before her arrest, Shaw advocated about the dangers of childhood vaccinations.

Shaw told the Children’s Health Defense podcast – part of an anti-vaccine nonprofit previously chaired by Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy – that their health declined after both received the flu, Hepatitis A and DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis) vaccines.

RFK Jr’s department removed the flu and Hepatitis A shots from the list of vaccines routinely recommended for all children in January.

Her Eyes Were Rolling Back

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still classifies the flu, Hepatitis A and DTaP shots as safe and effective, with serious reactions extremely rare.

While speaking of their deaths on the podcast, Shaw claimed that her husband’s side of the family ‘all have bad reactions or are allergic to the flu shot.’

‘They were okay, they took a nap when we got home. For the rest of the evening it was business as usual,’ she said of her late children.

She then broke down in tears, stating that the twins woke up lethargic the following day.

‘[Dallas] looked tired, I changed her diaper and I noticed the typical toddler pot belly was gone, she was skinny, she looked tired.

‘I moved her out of the way so I could change her brother, she just laid on the carpet and wouldn’t move, her eyes were rolling back as if she was going to sleep,’ Shaw said.

Shaw claimed the two of them both had green diarrhea and a blue tinge to their lips. Her husband said he was at work while the health crisis unfolded.

She said her mother-in-law then arrived and rushed the kids to a nearby hospital and the two were discharged days later.

It Is Consistent With Being Smothered

Describing her finding them dead inside their home, she said: ‘They looked as if they had gone in their sleep.’

‘I flipped over Tyson to try and shake him awake, then I immediately grabbed my phone to dial 911. Then I flipped Dallas over and found her the same way.’

Despite her claim that vaccines are to blame, Duke said that a forensic pathologist determined that is not the case.

‘This is not a vaccine case,’ Duke previously said in court.

Tyson and Dallas died from pulmonary vascular congestion, which is a buildup of fluid and blood in the vessels of the lungs, according to an autopsy report,  Duke wrote, according to the outlet.

The autopsy noted that Tyson also suffered from pulmonary edema, which causes more severe buildup.

‘According to our expert, these symptoms are consistent with being smothered. They occur when something blocks air from entering the airways, and as the diaphragm expands, it creates a low pressure condition in the lungs and airways,’ Duke wrote.

‘This is the cause of death of the twins. It is also the only reasonable explanation for why both would die at the same time, on the same night, in the same room, in the same bed.’

Shaw has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and her initial $2 million bond was revoked.

Her trial starts in January 2027. She faces 10 years to life in prison, or the death penalty if found guilty.
