In December 2018, many fans of the young woman were left in utter shock after Dayvault was arrested after allegedly concealing two pregnancies and later on dumping both newborns in the trash.

The accusations were unimaginable. The young woman was known for her bizarre hair and make-up tutorials on various social media networks. Nobody had suspected her of being pregnant or had seen her baby belly in pictures or videos.

Her crimes only came to light when the then-30-year-old went into hospital because she suffered from vaginal bleeding.

The doctors then found a placenta and an umbilical cord – but no baby. After police were alerted, they found out that Dayvault had delivered two babies at her home in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

However, she did not go to the doctor and instead "dumped" her babies into a trash can. Dayvault already had two older girls at that time.

But her request was declined.

"I just want to apologize," Dayvault said. "I hope one day [my daughters] will forgive me for what I've done."

Dayvault's ex-boyfriend and the father of the two victims, Chris Matechen, welcomed the court's decision.
