Lori Vallow's Legal Circus Rolls Into Arizona (And She's the Ringmaster Again) In this episode of Murder in the Morning with Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole, we break down Lori Vallow Daybell's next legal battle—her upcoming Arizona trial where she's accused of conspiring to murder her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. Prosecutors allege Vallow helped orchestrate a 2019 attempted shooting, carried out by her now-deceased brother, Alex Cox. With jury selection starting May 29 and trial proceedings kicking off June 2, we dig into the key witnesses, the legal maneuvers, and Vallow's bold decision to represent herself once again. From cult-driven conspiracies to courtroom clashes, this case is another disturbing chapter in one of the most bizarre and high-profile criminal sagas in recent history. Is this the final trial for the woman once dubbed the “Doomsday Mom”? Or just another act in her ongoing legal theater? Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brandon Boudreaux was nearly unalived on October 2nd of 2019. Thankfully, he narrowly missed the grim reaper. Unfortunately for Brandon, he was connected to Lori Vallow Daybell and her brother, Alex Cox, through his then-wife, Melani.In today's video, I share what led up to this shocking crime and who was seemingly in on the crime, allegedly. Let's examine Melani Boudreaux, now Pawlowski's, behavior in the days leading up to the attack on Brandon and post the attack. It is yet another chapter in the cray-cray unholy story of Lori and Chad Daybell and Alex Cox.I hope this video prepares you for Lori Vallow Daybell's next trial in Arizona for the attempt on Brandon Boudreaux's life.#lorivallow #loridaybelltrial #chaddaybell #brandonboudreaux #melaniboudreaux #doomsdaymom #trial #asmr #breakingnews #breaking  #truecrime #idaho #moscowidaho #kayleegoncalves #madisonmogen #ethanchapin #xanakernodle #moscowstudentmurders #idahostudentmurders #moscowhomicides  #truecrimeunsolved #truecrimeunsolvedCONTACT INFORMATIONContact Email: tofbedcrimestories@gmail.comHOW TO SUPPORT MY CHANNELYour options include:1.

Shortly after her uncle Alex Cox shot Charles Vallow, Lori Vallow's 16-year-old daughter, Tylee Ryan, spoke with police. In this poignant analysis, we examine Tylee's police interview, carefully considering her words. Was she providing an honest account of events, or had her mother, Lori Vallow, involved her in the disturbing circumstances surrounding Charles' death? We navigate this delicate situation, remembering the tragic fate that awaited Tylee shortly after. Did her testimony reveal the truth, or were there subtle signs of manipulation within the unfolding doomsday beliefs? Join us as we analyze a crucial moment in this heartbreaking case.Watch now to hear our detailed analysis and share your thoughts in the comments below!

From believing she was a celestial being to calling her husband Charles a “zombie,” Adam painted a picture of a woman obsessed with apocalypse, power, and Chad Daybell. He revealed he and Charles Vallow had secretly planned an intervention to confront Lori about her beliefs and possibly strip her of her LDS temple privileges—just days before Charles was gunned down by Alex Cox. Adam said Lori told police he was planning the intervention—despite the fact that he never told her. And though Lori, representing herself, cross-examined him—asking if he ever saw her conspire to kill Charles—Adam closed his testimony with chilling conviction: “No doubt in my mind that they killed him.” Was this the turning point for the jury? #BestGuests: Adam Cox, Lori Vallow Daybell's brother & witness in her Arizona murder trial #LoriVallow #LoriVallowDaybell #ChadDaybell #AdamCox #CharlesVallow #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #CultMom #DoomsdayMom #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrueCrimePodcast #TrialCoverage #SurvivingTheSurvivor #MurderTrial #ReligiousExtremism #FamilyTestimony #JusticeForCharlesV

 This week, I was lucky enough to attend the Lori Vallow Daybell, and in today's video, I want to share some info that I learned while talking to various people who knew Lori back in the day.I also want to touch on why there is reason to believe Lori and her brother, Alex Cox, may have worked together to "unalive" her third husband, Joe Ryan.If so, I hope law enforcement will take another look into that after Lori's trial for the attempt on Brandon Boudreaux's life.#lorivallow #lorivallowdaybell #charlesvallow #chaddaybell #tyleeryan #colbyryan #doomsdaymom #joeryan #josephryan #anniecushing #idaho #arizona#truecrime #idaho #moscowidaho #kayleegoncalves #madisonmogen #ethanchapin #xanakernodle #moscowstudentmurders #idahostudentmurders #moscowhomicides  #truecrimeunsolved #truecrimeunsolvedCONTACT INFORMATIONContact Email: tofbedcrimestories@gmail.comHOW TO SUPPORT MY CHANNELYour options include:1.

Just minutes after the fatal shooting of Lori Vallow Daybell's estranged husband, Charles Vallow, Alex Cox gave a crucial police interview. In this in-depth analysis, we meticulously dissect Alex Cox's initial statement, scrutinizing his words for evidence of genuine self-defense or indicators of a premeditated murder. We examine key verbal cues and potential inconsistencies in his account. Did his immediate explanation truly align with a justifiable act of self-preservation, or do subtle linguistic clues suggest a far more calculated killing? With Alex dying of natural causes after this event, there are so many question marks over what happened.This video prompts you to re-evaluate your own instinctive response to his words and consider the complexities of this tragic case. Watch now to hear our detailed analysis and share your thoughts in the comments below!

Daybell Closing Arguments on the Way: Nephi, Luminol, and a Wedding in Hawaii The lead detective never read the Book of Mormon, but Google helped him learn that Nephi killed a man under divine orders—and somehow, that helped shape a murder investigation. As court reconvened in Lori Vallow Daybell's Arizona trial, the state officially rested its case. The defense? Also ready to rest. No witnesses. No testimony from Lori herself. Her decision was final. With closing arguments expected Monday, the court is preparing jury instructions for what could be the final stretch. But before all that, Lori had questions. A lot of them. She stepped up to the lectern and grilled Detective Nathan Duncan like she was trying out for a legal drama. Why didn't they test the bat for DNA? Why wasn't Luminol used on the gun? What about the blood on Charles Vallow's shirt? Duncan stood by the choices made—there was no visible blood, the autopsy was conclusive, and some things, he felt, just didn't require further testing. Lori pushed: is it possible for protein to be present even if blood isn't visible? Duncan acknowledged it could be, but stuck to his reasoning. The bat—allegedly wielded by Tylee—wasn't visibly bloody and had no damage. No blood, no Luminol. No DNA swabs either. Lori challenged him: if they had tested the bat and found Charles' DNA, wouldn't that corroborate Tylee's story? The prosecution objected, the judge sustained. But Lori kept hammering the same point—why didn't they look harder? Duncan explained that simply finding DNA on the bat wouldn't prove much. It belonged to Tylee, lived in the house, and anyone could have handled it. As for fingerprints? Inconclusive. Still, no tests. She dug into his knowledge of the Book of Mormon too—asking about Nephi, a figure she had previously invoked. Duncan admitted he hadn't read the book but had spoken to LDS members and done some Googling. Lori pushed again—there are four Nephis, she reminded him. She accused him of forming conclusions early and sticking to them, questioning whether his research was thorough or just conveniently limited. When asked who provided the core of the family context in his investigation, Duncan named Adam Cox—Lori's estranged brother. Lori highlighted that he hadn't interviewed her parents, her siblings, or even watched their interviews. Summer Cox was out of town, Duncan said. The others weren't at the scene. Lori wasn't buying it. She accused the investigation of being one-sided. Then there were the texts. So many texts. Messages between Lori and Chad Daybell, between Lori and Alex Cox, and between Lori and her niece, Melani. The language? Sometimes cryptic, sometimes romantic, sometimes just bizarre. Talk of "Zs"—supposedly dark spirits or zombies—and coded references to people being overtaken by evil. Melani was told not to go to Utah—it was “a setup.” Chad and Lori spoke in veiled terms about Social Security payments, forged documents, and divine missions. In the days after Charles Vallow was killed, Lori and Chad exchanged love notes, planned blessings, and fantasized about their new life together. A wedding followed just four months later, in Hawaii. The jury saw the photo: Chad and Lori, newlyweds on a beach, smiling. Meanwhile, the evidence paints a portrait of a tangled web—faith, manipulation, and a very mortal outcome. Through it all, Lori tried to flip the narrative. She emphasized how cooperative she had been with police, that she turned over Charles' phone willingly. But Duncan said he wasn't sure if Alex had done the same. His phone? It was never fully analyzed. The best they got were his call records from the carrier. The actual data? Gone. It was either a missed opportunity or an intentional blind spot, depending on which side of the courtroom you sit on. By late afternoon, both sides had nothing left to say. The prosecution stood by its evidence—volumes of it—arguing that Lori and Alex conspired to commit murder. Lori still insisted the state hadn't proved its case. But the judge saw it differently: he ruled there was enough for a jury to consider. Court adjourns tomorrow to finalize instructions. On Monday, the jury returns at 10:30 a.m. for closing arguments. Then, it's in their hands. #LoriVallowDaybell #TrueCrime #CharlesVallow #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Lori wasn't buying it. She accused the investigation of being one-sided. Then there were the texts. So many texts. Messages between Lori and Chad Daybell, between Lori and Alex Cox, and between Lori and her niece, Melani. The language? Sometimes cryptic, sometimes romantic, sometimes just bizarre. Talk of "Zs"—supposedly dark spirits or zombies—and coded references to people being overtaken by evil. Melani was told not to go to Utah—it was “a setup.” Chad and Lori spoke in veiled terms about Social Security payments, forged documents, and divine missions. In the days after Charles Vallow was killed, Lori and Chad exchanged love notes, planned blessings, and fantasized about their new life together. A wedding followed just four months later, in Hawaii. The jury saw the photo: Chad and Lori, newlyweds on a beach, smiling. Meanwhile, the evidence paints a portrait of a tangled web—faith, manipulation, and a very mortal outcome. Through it all, Lori tried to flip the narrative. She emphasized how cooperative she had been with police, that she turned over Charles' phone willingly. But Duncan said he wasn't sure if Alex had done the same. His phone? It was never fully analyzed. The best they got were his call records from the carrier. The actual data? Gone. It was either a missed opportunity or an intentional blind spot, depending on which side of the courtroom you sit on. By late afternoon, both sides had nothing left to say. The prosecution stood by its evidence—volumes of it—arguing that Lori and Alex conspired to commit murder. Lori still insisted the state hadn't proved its case. But the judge saw it differently: he ruled there was enough for a jury to consider. Court adjourns tomorrow to finalize instructions. On Monday, the jury returns at 10:30 a.m. for closing arguments. Then, it's in their hands. #LoriVallowDaybell #TrueCrime #CharlesVallow #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Daybell Closing Arguments on the Way: Nephi, Luminol, and a Wedding in Hawaii The lead detective never read the Book of Mormon, but Google helped him learn that Nephi killed a man under divine orders—and somehow, that helped shape a murder investigation. As court reconvened in Lori Vallow Daybell's Arizona trial, the state officially rested its case. The defense? Also ready to rest. No witnesses. No testimony from Lori herself. Her decision was final. With closing arguments expected Monday, the court is preparing jury instructions for what could be the final stretch. But before all that, Lori had questions. A lot of them. She stepped up to the lectern and grilled Detective Nathan Duncan like she was trying out for a legal drama. Why didn't they test the bat for DNA? Why wasn't Luminol used on the gun? What about the blood on Charles Vallow's shirt? Duncan stood by the choices made—there was no visible blood, the autopsy was conclusive, and some things, he felt, just didn't require further testing. Lori pushed: is it possible for protein to be present even if blood isn't visible? Duncan acknowledged it could be, but stuck to his reasoning. The bat—allegedly wielded by Tylee—wasn't visibly bloody and had no damage. No blood, no Luminol. No DNA swabs either. Lori challenged him: if they had tested the bat and found Charles' DNA, wouldn't that corroborate Tylee's story? The prosecution objected, the judge sustained. But Lori kept hammering the same point—why didn't they look harder? Duncan explained that simply finding DNA on the bat wouldn't prove much. It belonged to Tylee, lived in the house, and anyone could have handled it. As for fingerprints? Inconclusive. Still, no tests. She dug into his knowledge of the Book of Mormon too—asking about Nephi, a figure she had previously invoked. Duncan admitted he hadn't read the book but had spoken to LDS members and done some Googling. Lori pushed again—there are four Nephis, she reminded him. She accused him of forming conclusions early and sticking to them, questioning whether his research was thorough or just conveniently limited. When asked who provided the core of the family context in his investigation, Duncan named Adam Cox—Lori's estranged brother. Lori highlighted that he hadn't interviewed her parents, her siblings, or even watched their interviews. Summer Cox was out of town, Duncan said. The others weren't at the scene. Lori wasn't buying it. She accused the investigation of being one-sided. Then there were the texts. So many texts.

Inside the iCloud Trail That Exposed Lori Vallow: Divine Missions, Dead Bodies, and a Deleted Husband “So the Plot Thickens” Charles Vallow was already dead when his brother-in-law Alex Cox finally decided to call 911. That call didn't come until 8:36 a.m., and Charles had been lying on the floor for at least 47 minutes by then. Lori Vallow, his wife, had already left the house by 7:49 a.m.—taking Charles' phone with her—and she never made a call for help. Not on her phone, not on his. Nothing. Just silence. The whole scene, the timing, the calls—or lack thereof—was outlined by Chandler Police Detective Nathan Duncan as he testified about what they found when they started pulling data from Lori's iCloud and Charles' phone. Turns out, the dead man's device was still being used hours after he was killed. The texts Adam Cox sent to his brother Charles that morning were read promptly—until they weren't. Suddenly, the messages stopped being opened. Then, at 12:13 p.m., they were read. Charles had been dead for hours by then. So who was reading them? The breadcrumbs didn't stop there. Duncan found that Alex Cox had sent Lori the flight itinerary for Adam's trip after Charles died, but the message was sent using Charles' phone. That's like borrowing someone's toothbrush after they've been buried. Adam, meanwhile, was desperately trying to reach Alex—texting and calling—once he got into Phoenix on July 10. No reply. At all. Then came the iCloud accounts—two of them: “lollytime” and “lori4style.” These accounts were a goldmine of encrypted nonsense and unsettling revelations. Lori had flown to Idaho in March 2019 and returned with Chad Daybell the same month. Around that same time, there was an odd email supposedly from Charles inviting Chad to Houston to write a book. Only problem? Charles didn't send it. Lori did. She made a fake email account under the name Karen Walker and used her own old phone number to set it up. By June 27, the messages between Charles and Lori had all but dried up. Their marriage was clearly fractured, but not in a normal marital spat kind of way. This was nuclear. Charles was living in Houston, but he still helped Lori move into the Phoenix rental on June 22. That lease was supposed to run until 2022. On July 10, he flew into town. He was planning an intervention. He had been talking with Lori's brother Adam about it. They were going to try to bring Lori back to reality, whatever that even looked like anymore. Too bad Lori already knew. She had texted Alex around 9:50 p.m. the night before Charles died saying, “Getting sleepy. So I'm going to need you to stay close to me the next few days. Mel too. She can't go to Utah. They are planking (sic) some kind of intervention…Lots to do. Thank you for standing by me. It's all coming to a head this week. I will be like Nephi I am told! And so will you.” That's a reference to a Book of Mormon figure known for killing a man to obtain sacred records. Light bedtime reading, apparently. The “Nephi” text came just after Lori messaged Alex, “So the plot thickens. Call me when u can.” That was July 8. By July 11, Charles was dead. Lori and Alex weren't just texting about scripture and divine missions. They were deep in a parallel universe where Charles wasn't Charles anymore. He was “Ned,” a dark spirit that had taken over his body. In February and March, Lori told Alex that Ned had been at the temple looking for him. She said Tylee “unleashed on him.” She even asked, “No one has seen him, right? Just talked to him??” As if Charles was a missing ghost in a body suit. Then there's the money. Lori sent pictures of Charles' life insurance policy to a contact named “Bubby,” along with documentation showing she was the beneficiary. But there was also a picture showing that Kay Woodcock, Charles' sister, had been made the new beneficiary. That change had been made by Charles. Lori wasn't thrilled. On July 12—the day after Charles was killed—Lori texted about going to Social Security. Because when someone dies, the paperwork party begins. When detectives entered the home on July 11, they found Charles' body face up on the western side of a mostly empty room. There was a bat nearby, but no blood splatter on the walls or floor—just a little blood on Charles' left hand, suggesting he had placed it on his chest after being shot. The bullet? It went through his body and left a visible strike in the floor. Duncan cut that piece out for evidence. Alex claimed he was injured in the scuffle, but no one saw any wounds that morning. Later, during the investigation, they learned he had a cut on the back of his head. Even the gun he used—registered to him—had no blood on it. Inside the house, they found an orange duffle bag with a Health Savings Account card labeled Alex Cox. There were extra magazines inside. The kitchen faucet had a smear of blood, but no towels, no evidence of cleanup. It's like everyone knew Charles was going to die that day—except Charles. #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #TrueCrimePodcast #DaybellCase Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

'Stress Makes You Thirsty' Day 6- Lori Vallow's Daybell's Bizarre Defense Strategy  On Day 6 of the Lori Vallow Daybell trial in Arizona, jurors were presented with some of the most damning and surreal testimony to date. Prosecutors detailed a 42-minute delay between Charles Vallow's death and the 911 call—during which Lori allegedly went to Burger King, bought flip-flops at Walgreens, and dropped off her son at school. Detective testimony and surveillance footage laid out a timeline that painted Lori not as a grieving widow, but as someone oddly composed—and possibly calculating. The spotlight then shifted to Lori's own bizarre courtroom performance as she continued representing herself. Her cross-examinations of detectives derailed into irrelevant questions about her late husband's dating life, speculative talk about “stress-induced thirst,” and multiple judge reprimands. At one point, she nearly opened the door to her prior murder convictions—prompting a quick sidebar and legal warning from the bench. Observers in the courtroom described her approach as chaotic, legally risky, and ultimately damaging to her credibility in front of the jury. But despite the state's heavy use of circumstantial evidence—timelines, surveillance, and behavior—there's still one big issue the prosecution hasn't solved: direct proof of a conspiracy. With no confession, no witness to Lori ordering the killing, and her co-conspirator Alex Cox now deceased, the state is asking the jury to connect the dots.

Daybell Trial-Flipping the Narrative: Burger King, Cell Phones, and a Suspicious Timeline If Lori Vallow really left the house after Charles Vallow was shot, why was she at a Burger King drive-thru 42 minutes before the 911 call? That was the first red flag for Detective Ariel Werther. When he started digging into the July 11, 2019 shooting of Charles Vallow, it didn't take long to find cracks in Lori's story. She claimed she left the house after Charles was killed, took her son JJ to school, and went about her day. But Werther, who's well-trained in mapping GPS and cell phone data, wasn't buying the timeline. He reviewed Charles' T-Mobile GPS data, which showed his device was still pinging. That data led Werther to believe Lori hadn't gone to a CVS, like she originally claimed, but to a Walgreens instead. After calling seven CVS locations and turning up nothing, Werther rang up Walgreens, asked if anyone matching Lori's description had come in to buy flip-flops, and—bingo—got a hit. Surveillance footage and a receipt confirmed she was there. But the biggest problem was still the fast food stop. Werther checked the surveillance footage at Burger King. He confirmed the timestamp was accurate and watched as Lori pulled through the drive-thru in a red rental car at exactly 7:54 a.m. Yet, the 911 call reporting Charles' shooting wasn't made until 8:36 a.m.—a 42-minute gap that Lori had conveniently glossed over. That gap grew even more suspicious when Werther ran the drive time from the Burger King to JJ's school and back. Given Arizona traffic, it would've been nearly impossible to make that loop in 12 minutes. Werther also obtained Charles' hotel receipt from Tru Hilton and the key card Lori claimed to have found in his wallet. He and Detective Moffatt later searched the hotel room, collecting Charles' laptop and other personal items, which were logged by the Chandler Police Department. Meanwhile, cell phone records from Lori, Charles, and Alex Cox were subpoenaed. Werther compiled a detailed PowerPoint showing GPS data from Charles' phone the morning he was killed. It painted a picture of movement—where the phone had been, what times it had pinged—useful, but not conclusive. After all, GPS shows where the phone is, not necessarily who's carrying it. Still, the electronic trail, plus the physical receipts and surveillance footage, started to stitch together a timeline that didn't align with Lori's version of events. As all of this played out in court, Lori herself took the unusual step of questioning Det. Ynclan during the trial. She asked about her own behavior, whether she was cooperative, if she handed over Charles' phone willingly (she did), and why she had two phones at the time. She even asked about whether stressful situations make people thirsty—an apparent effort to justify why she ordered two bottles of water at Burger King after a supposed fatal domestic altercation. Ynclan noted Lori's calm demeanor as “odd.” Her husband had just been shot. Her brother pulled the trigger. Her kids were there. Yet Lori was described as “chattering” in the car, more like someone heading to brunch than leaving the scene of a homicide. The defense tried to draw attention to minor details—how hot the Arizona pavement was in July, whether walking barefoot would be uncomfortable, and how long the altercation lasted. But it all felt like noise. Because the signal was clear: Lori Vallow said she left the house after the shooting. The evidence says she hit up Burger King 42 minutes before calling 911. #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #TrueCrime #CellPhoneData Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

'Stress Makes You Thirsty' Day 6- Lori Vallow's Daybell's Bizarre Defense Strategy  On Day 6 of the Lori Vallow Daybell trial in Arizona, jurors were presented with some of the most damning and surreal testimony to date. Prosecutors detailed a 42-minute delay between Charles Vallow's death and the 911 call—during which Lori allegedly went to Burger King, bought flip-flops at Walgreens, and dropped off her son at school. Detective testimony and surveillance footage laid out a timeline that painted Lori not as a grieving widow, but as someone oddly composed—and possibly calculating. The spotlight then shifted to Lori's own bizarre courtroom performance as she continued representing herself. Her cross-examinations of detectives derailed into irrelevant questions about her late husband's dating life, speculative talk about “stress-induced thirst,” and multiple judge reprimands. At one point, she nearly opened the door to her prior murder convictions—prompting a quick sidebar and legal warning from the bench. Observers in the courtroom described her approach as chaotic, legally risky, and ultimately damaging to her credibility in front of the jury. But despite the state's heavy use of circumstantial evidence—timelines, surveillance, and behavior—there's still one big issue the prosecution hasn't solved: direct proof of a conspiracy. With no confession, no witness to Lori ordering the killing, and her co-conspirator Alex Cox now deceased, the state is asking the jury to connect the dots. In this episode, we break down the strongest testimony, the wildest courtroom moments, and the gaps that still leave room for reasonable doubt in the trial of Lori Vallow Daybell.

The Full Breakdown Of Day 5 In The Trial of Lori Vallow Daybell  On April 14th, 2025, the courtroom saw the unraveling of Lori Vallow's carefully constructed narrative, and it came straight from her own mouth. In a day packed with testimony, jurors heard forensic experts explain how Charles Vallow was shot twice—once possibly while already on the ground. The medical examiner and ballistics analyst confirmed the shots came from Alex Cox's gun, fired deliberately, not accidentally. But it was Lori's own voice, played back from her 2019 police interview, that may have delivered the most damaging blow yet to her defense. Social Security investigators testified that Lori applied for and received nearly $4,000 a month in survivor benefits just weeks after Charles's death—money for both herself and her son JJ. Jurors also heard audio from Lori's recorded phone calls to a life insurance company, in which she expressed surprise and frustration at being removed as the beneficiary of Charles's $1 million policy. The prosecution is building a clear case that Lori believed she would financially benefit from her husband's death and moved quickly to collect what she thought was hers. But perhaps the most haunting part of the day was how Lori acted in the immediate aftermath of the killing. According to detectives, she never cried, never asked about Charles, and casually chatted during the car ride to the station. Her interview was peppered with laughter and contradictions—admitting she started the argument, referring only to “a shot,” and claiming to already know Charles was dead before police told her. This episode breaks down every key moment from the most revealing day yet in the Lori Vallow Daybell trial. Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

'Do You Go On Dates With Married Men' - Lori Vallow Daybell 'Actin' A Fool' At Trial In this riveting episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Bruski, we delve into the sensational courtroom drama surrounding Lori Vallow, exploring explosive testimonies and jaw-dropping exchanges. Tony Bruski takes listeners inside the courtroom, highlighting an intense confrontation where Lori Vallow, acting as her own attorney, aggressively cross-examines a witness who dated her late husband, Charles. The heated questioning, centered around accusations of infidelity and marital status, culminates in unforgettable moments that showcase the chaotic, emotionally charged nature of this high-stakes murder trial. We further unpack the shocking details surrounding claims of dark spirits and demonic possessions, elements that Lori reportedly used to justify her alleged murderous actions. Expert legal analysis helps clarify how Lori's spiritual and supernatural beliefs are being leveraged by the prosecution as a motive for murder, adding another layer of complexity to this already bizarre and unsettling case. The conversation takes a deeper turn as we examine how these beliefs potentially link Lori to the murders of Charles and her own children, creating a disturbing narrative of twisted ideology and deadly intent. Finally, Tony and his legal expert guest analyze Lori Vallow's unusual defense strategies, including blaming the deaths on her deceased brother, Alex Cox, and claiming self-defense. With critical witnesses deceased and limited direct evidence, we discuss the monumental challenges prosecutors face in conclusively proving Lori's guilt. Listeners will gain a clear understanding of the legal hurdles involved and insights into whether Lori's dramatic courtroom tactics could sway the jury or ultimately seal her fate.

Lori Daybell Trial: She Called It an Accident Lori Vallow called the life insurance company just one week after Charles Vallow was shot to death, calmly reporting his death and trying to file a claim on his $2 million policy. When asked the cause of death, Lori paused, then said, “Well, he was shot. I don't know if I want to put that,” before quickly clarifying, “It was an accident.” In that moment, she wasn't calling as a grieving widow. She sounded like someone handling paperwork for a delayed flight. Robin Scott, a claims processor for Banner Life, testified that Lori believed she was still the primary beneficiary. But Charles had changed that months before, making Kay Woodcock—the grandmother of JJ Vallow—the sole recipient. Banner sent Lori a letter informing her she wasn't the beneficiary. It didn't say who was, just that she wasn't. After receiving the email, Lori left a voicemail, then finally got Scott on the phone. In that recorded call played in court, Lori gave her name, spelled out the policy number, and made a point of noting that she and Charles had five kids and had been married fifteen years. She also brought up their adopted 7-year-old son, JJ, who had autism, expressing shock that Charles would make a beneficiary change without telling her. But none of that changed the facts—she was no longer entitled to the money. Scott explained in her testimony that changing a beneficiary is a straightforward but secure process. If a policy is valued over $500,000, the form must be notarized. That's exactly what Charles did in February 2019, five months before his death. Lori may have suspected it, but hearing the confirmation seemed to catch her off guard. Back in the courtroom, forensic evidence added grim clarity to what really happened to Charles Vallow. Dr. Derek Baumgarner, the medical examiner who performed the autopsy, described two fatal gunshot wounds. One to the chest and one to the abdomen. The first bullet traveled through the chest, perforating the heart, and exited out the back. The second shot entered the abdomen, tore through tissue and a lung, then exited out the shoulder. The exit wound bore a telltale “shored” pattern—meaning Charles was lying against a hard surface when the bullet exited his body. He was likely shot again while already on the ground. There was stippling near one wound—tiny abrasions caused by gunpowder particles—indicating the gun was fired from close range, likely just two to four feet away. No drugs or alcohol were found in Charles' system. The official cause of death: multiple gunshot wounds. And according to the ME, neither wound was instantly fatal—Charles may have lived for a few seconds, maybe a few minutes. Enough time, perhaps, to reach toward his injuries or collapse to his knees, as abrasions on his knees and hands suggested a fall. Firearms expert Jeff Moberg from the Department of Public Safety testified about the gun used in the shooting. A semi-automatic handgun, found in Alex Cox's bag, had fired the rounds recovered from the scene. When a bullet travels through the barrel, it picks up microscopic markings—essentially a ballistic fingerprint. That fingerprint matched casings found at the scene to Alex's gun. Moberg explained how casings from semi-automatic firearms are ejected after firing. One trigger pull, one shot, and then it cycles another round. It's not just the projectile that carries evidence—the casing left behind holds telltale markings too. Moberg, trained in forensic firearm analysis, verified that the casings from the scene were consistent with rounds fired from Alex Cox's gun. The kind of evidence that doesn't lie, doesn't bend to emotion, and doesn't forget. Then came the financials. The Social Security Office's Mark Saari testified that Lori Vallow received survivor benefits not just for JJ Vallow, but for herself as well. After Charles' death, she received $1,951 per month for JJ, with backpay of nearly $4,000. She also received her own benefits, totaling around the same amount. Combined, Lori was pulling in almost $4,000 a month. But there was a catch. If she remarried, her eligibility for the spousal portion of the benefit would end. Which is exactly what happened when she married Chad Daybell in November 2019. The payments stopped—at least the ones meant for her. Saari also revealed that Lori had previously been receiving benefits as the representative payee for Tylee Ryan, from the death of Tylee's father. It wasn't just one financial pipeline—Lori had several. But Social Security benefits require recipients to follow the rules, and when Saari investigated, he found discrepancies. For instance, Lori never told the agency she had remarried. She continued to receive spousal benefits until investigators discovered the change. That's not a clerical error. That's fraud. On the stand, Lori attempted to suggest that Social Security employees might have made mistakes during her application process, that maybe someone entered the wrong code or clicked the wrong box. But Saari stood firm. He had reviewed all the documentation. The forms Lori filled out were correct—for the benefits she applied for. And she applied for them. In the end, all the legal wrangling, insurance claims, and benefit paperwork come back to one day: July 11, 2019. That's when Charles Vallow was shot. Two bullets. No drugs. One witness—Alex Cox—who claimed it was self-defense. But the physical evidence, the phone calls, the policy forms, and the forensic reports all speak louder than words. #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #TrueCrimePodcast #AutopsyEvidence Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Lori Vallow called the life insurance company just one week after Charles Vallow was shot to death, calmly reporting his death and trying to file a claim on his $2 million policy. When asked the cause of death, Lori paused, then said, “Well, he was shot. I don't know if I want to put that,” before quickly clarifying, “It was an accident.” In that moment, she wasn't calling as a grieving widow. She sounded like someone handling paperwork for a delayed flight. Robin Scott, a claims processor for Banner Life, testified that Lori believed she was still the primary beneficiary. But Charles had changed that months before, making Kay Woodcock—the grandmother of JJ Vallow—the sole recipient. Banner sent Lori a letter informing her she wasn't the beneficiary. It didn't say who was, just that she wasn't. After receiving the email, Lori left a voicemail, then finally got Scott on the phone. In that recorded call played in court, Lori gave her name, spelled out the policy number, and made a point of noting that she and Charles had five kids and had been married fifteen years. She also brought up their adopted 7-year-old son, JJ, who had autism, expressing shock that Charles would make a beneficiary change without telling her. But none of that changed the facts—she was no longer entitled to the money. Scott explained in her testimony that changing a beneficiary is a straightforward but secure process. If a policy is valued over $500,000, the form must be notarized. That's exactly what Charles did in February 2019, five months before his death. Lori may have suspected it, but hearing the confirmation seemed to catch her off guard. Back in the courtroom, forensic evidence added grim clarity to what really happened to Charles Vallow. Dr. Derek Baumgarner, the medical examiner who performed the autopsy, described two fatal gunshot wounds. One to the chest and one to the abdomen. The first bullet traveled through the chest, perforating the heart, and exited out the back. The second shot entered the abdomen, tore through tissue and a lung, then exited out the shoulder. The exit wound bore a telltale “shored” pattern—meaning Charles was lying against a hard surface when the bullet exited his body. He was likely shot again while already on the ground. There was stippling near one wound—tiny abrasions caused by gunpowder particles—indicating the gun was fired from close range, likely just two to four feet away. No drugs or alcohol were found in Charles' system. The official cause of death: multiple gunshot wounds. And according to the ME, neither wound was instantly fatal—Charles may have lived for a few seconds, maybe a few minutes. Enough time, perhaps, to reach toward his injuries or collapse to his knees, as abrasions on his knees and hands suggested a fall. Firearms expert Jeff Moberg from the Department of Public Safety testified about the gun used in the shooting. A semi-automatic handgun, found in Alex Cox's bag, had fired the rounds recovered from the scene. When a bullet travels through the barrel, it picks up microscopic markings—essentially a ballistic fingerprint. That fingerprint matched casings found at the scene to Alex's gun. Moberg explained how casings from semi-automatic firearms are ejected after firing. One trigger pull, one shot, and then it cycles another round. It's not just the projectile that carries evidence—the casing left behind holds telltale markings too. Moberg, trained in forensic firearm analysis, verified that the casings from the scene were consistent with rounds fired from Alex Cox's gun. The kind of evidence that doesn't lie, doesn't bend to emotion, and doesn't forget. Then came the financials. The Social Security Office's Mark Saari testified that Lori Vallow received survivor benefits not just for JJ Vallow, but for herself as well. After Charles' death, she received $1,951 per month for JJ, with backpay of nearly $4,000. She also received her own benefits, totaling around the same amount. Combined, Lori was pulling in almost $4,000 a month. But there was a catch. If she remarried, her eligibility for the spousal portion of the benefit would end. Which is exactly what happened when she married Chad Daybell in November 2019. The payments stopped—at least the ones meant for her. Saari also revealed that Lori had previously been receiving benefits as the representative payee for Tylee Ryan, from the death of Tylee's father. It wasn't just one financial pipeline—Lori had several. But Social Security benefits require recipients to follow the rules, and when Saari investigated, he found discrepancies. For instance, Lori never told the agency she had remarried. She continued to receive spousal benefits until investigators discovered the change. That's not a clerical error. That's fraud. On the stand, Lori attempted to suggest that Social Security employees might have made mistakes during her application process, that maybe someone entered the wrong code or clicked the wrong box. But Saari stood firm. He had reviewed all the documentation. The forms Lori filled out were correct—for the benefits she applied for. And she applied for them. In the end, all the legal wrangling, insurance claims, and benefit paperwork come back to one day: July 11, 2019. That's when Charles Vallow was shot. Two bullets. No drugs. One witness—Alex Cox—who claimed it was self-defense. But the physical evidence, the phone calls, the policy forms, and the forensic reports all speak louder than words. #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #TrueCrimePodcast #AutopsyEvidence Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Convicted murderer Lori Daybell is representing herself as she stands trial for the fatal shooting of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. Her brother, Alex Cox who is also dead, claimed self-defense in the 2019 shooting, but prosecutors say he and Lori conspired to kill him so that she could claim his million-dollar life insurance policy and marry self-proclaimed doomsday prophet and Chad Daybell, who now sits on death row for the murders of Tammy Daybell, Tylee Ryan, and JJ Vallow.

A Day Inside Lori Vallow Daybell's Trial: The Photos, the Bullets, and the Warnings “You have a habit of adding things to witness answers, and when you do that, it's a form of testifying,” Judge Beresky told Lori Vallow Daybell in the final moments of the day, as court wrapped after a marathon of cross-examinations, autopsy details, and crime scene photos. By the time court adjourned at 4:34 p.m., Lori had spent hours at the podium cross-examining Chandler Police Detective Daniel Coons, trying to challenge the state's version of how Charles Vallow was shot and killed. It was her chance to unravel details about bullet trajectories, the positioning of shell casings, and whether her brother Alex Cox could've plausibly been where he claimed when the shots were fired. Coons held firm: the bullet trajectories were consistent with Charles being shot while lying on the floor, one bullet embedding in a baseboard. The shells? Just inches from the wall. And the gun, a .45 caliber semiautomatic, ejected to the right—not left, like Lori suggested might have mattered. At one point, Lori veered into the realm of firearms training, asking if center mass is what police are taught to aim for. Coons confirmed, yes—it's about stopping the threat. Then she asked if novice shooters are taught the same. He said no. It was a brief window into the angle she seemed to be aiming for, though the judge regularly reminded her to keep her own commentary out of the questioning. Photos of the home were admitted—over a hundred of them. Exterior shots. The front door. A Reebok hat on the floor. Blood pooling around Charles' body. A bat nearby. Projectiles in baseboards. Bullet casings marked with yellow placards. And in one particularly dramatic moment, a chunk of flooring was presented in court. It had been cut out to preserve a mark that investigators said was made by a bullet passing through Charles' body. Lori objected to some of the photos being admitted but was mostly overruled. The judge said the images helped the jury visualize the scene. She used some of the same photos in her cross, trying to push back on Coons' conclusions, asking if divots in walls or trajectories could have occurred differently, if maybe the shooter wasn't where Coons said. He stood his ground. Earlier in the day, Chandler Fire Captain Kent Keller testified about Charles' condition when medics arrived. Lividity and skin modeling were already setting in. His pupils were fixed. No electrical activity in the heart. CPR was initiated but quickly deemed futile. According to Keller, there was no indication anyone had attempted life-saving efforts before the fire crew arrived. The positioning of Charles' body, the small pool of blood, and the condition of his skin all suggested death had occurred some time before. Lori pressed Keller hard on the science of lividity and modeling. Could it happen in just a few minutes? Would medication change how the body looked? She floated the idea that maybe CPR had been done, just not effectively. Keller, and another paramedic named Cowden, said they saw no signs of it. In fact, they testified that effective CPR would've caused more bleeding—blood would've been forced out by the compressions. There just wasn't any, aside from the pooling underneath. At one point, Cowden described performing CPR while another EMT prepared the heart monitor. He said Charles was found with a baseball bat and ball cap nearby, but no one else was in the room. The house was otherwise empty, aside from officers clearing it. His account was backed up by Keller, who described the scene as calm, with the main objective being to assess, perform CPR, and confirm the lack of vital signs. Throughout the day, Lori tried to walk the line between playing defense attorney and defendant. She questioned procedure, timing, blood patterns, CPR protocols, and scene diagrams. But the judge frequently reminded her about courtroom boundaries. When she asked whether someone had spoken to the media, the judge called for a sidebar. When she objected to Coons' expert testimony, the judge ruled against her but gave her space to cross-examine thoroughly. As court neared the end, a small issue arose: subpoenas had been sent by the defense to detectives, but without contact info. The judge told Lori to have her investigator handle it. Also, she was reminded to flag any photo exhibits she needed by the following morning. With that, court adjourned.  #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #CrimeScene #TrueCrimeCourtroom Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

What If Prosecutors CAN'T Convince A Jury Lori Vallow Daybell Ordered The Hit On Charles Vallow? How many red flags does it take before someone finally steps in? In this chilling dive into the twisted case of Lori Vallow-Daybell, former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to unravel the alleged conspiracy behind the death of Charles Vallow. With Lori's now-deceased brother Alex Cox at the center of the alleged murder plot, the conversation explores whether coded texts, religious delusions, and veiled threats were enough to prove intent—or just the ravings of someone lost in a doomsday fantasy. Insurance money, pool parties after death, and apocalyptic "missions"—you'd think this was fiction if the body count weren't real. The two also examine the baffling inaction by law enforcement despite repeated warnings and eerie bodycam footage of Charles pleading for help. Was this all brushed aside because of gender bias, or was it a colossal failure of the system meant to protect? And here's the real kicker—can Lori actually convince a jury that she didn't mean for anyone to die? #LoriVallow #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #CharlesVallow #AlexCox #DoomsdayMom #JusticeDelayed Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Will Lori Vallow Daybell NEED To Testify To Get Her Story Heard, Attorney Bob Motta Breaks It Down Was Lori Vallow really just a misunderstood mom — or the mastermind behind a murderous conspiracy? In this twisted chapter of the saga, Tony Brueski and defense attorney Bob Motta dig into the bizarre events leading up to and following the alleged killing of Charles Vallow. The challenge for prosecutors? Proving that Lori wasn't just passively watching her brother Alex Cox take matters into his own hands—but that she was the one pulling the strings. With Alex conveniently dead from a highly suspicious pulmonary embolism (that may or may not have been assisted by a strategically placed air bubble), and Lori texting him in what can only be described as “cult code,” the state's case leans hard on circumstantial evidence and divine delusion. We're talking milkshake forensics, fast food alibis, and the world's least convincing grieving widow—who thought a Burger King promise was worth more than dealing with a freshly murdered husband. Add in a self-represented Lori who might just go full “I'm a prophet, you're all possessed” in front of a jury, and this one is less courtroom drama and more reality TV meets true crime apocalypse. Will the jury buy the celestial love affair and zombie ex-husband theory—or are we all just characters in Lori's allegedly deranged version of scripture? #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #DefenseDiaries #BobMotta #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Breaking Down Lori Vallow Daybell's Delusional Role As Her Own Attorney A Dead Man, a Doomsday Plan, and 47 Minutes of Silence Charles Vallow was shot twice inside a house he paid for. He lay dead on the floor for 47 minutes before anyone bothered to call 911. And now, the woman once married to him—Lori Vallow Daybell—is on trial for conspiring to make that happen. This isn't Idaho. It's Maricopa County, Arizona. But the woman at the center of the story is the same: convicted murderer, former beauty queen, five-time wife, and self-proclaimed spiritual warrior who believed people could become “zombies” possessed by evil spirits. In this trial, Lori isn't just the defendant—she's also her own attorney. Representing herself, cross-examining witnesses, and objecting to testimony as she fights charges that she orchestrated the murder of her estranged husband in 2019. According to prosecutors, Lori conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles so she could cash in on a $1 million life insurance policy and clear the way to marry Chad Daybell—an LDS fiction author and her apocalyptic soulmate. They say this wasn't spontaneous. It was a plan rooted in delusion and tied up in scripture. Days before the shooting, Lori texted Alex: “It's all coming to a head this week. I will be like Nephi, I am told, and so will you.” In LDS scripture, Nephi is known for killing a man because God commanded it. On the morning of July 11, 2019, Charles texted Lori's other brother, Adam, with a warning: “They're planning something.” Adam replied, “Absolutely.” Charles showed up at Lori's Chandler home to pick up their son, JJ. He never made it out alive. The first shot went through his chest and pierced his heart. He fell. Then, according to testimony and forensic evidence, a second shot was fired from above, traveling downward into the floor, where the bullet lodged in a baseboard across the room. Maricopa County firefighter Scott Cowden testified that when he arrived, Charles was already cold. No pulse, no breath, no attempt at CPR. Cowden, who teaches CPR for a living, said he knew right away no one had tried to save Charles. When he started compressions, he felt the telltale crunch of an untouched chest cavity. It's the grim equivalent of walking into a house and smelling smoke—you just know. What Cowden didn't see? Blood. Aside from the pooling around Charles's body, there was nothing. No trail down the hall. No mess in the kitchen. No bloody towels, napkins, or paper—despite Alex's claim that he'd been holding his bleeding head. Cowden said the paper towel Alex had was mostly clean. He also noticed Alex didn't look injured. Didn't act it either. He described him as calm, nonchalant. Sunglasses still perched on his head, perfectly balanced and unbothered—odd for someone who supposedly just wrestled with a former semi-pro baseball player. Then there's the silence. Lori left the house with JJ and Tylee, taking Charles's rental car. She went to Burger King, then Walgreens, then dropped JJ off at school. She spoke with Alex twice while out. Still, neither of them called for help until 47 minutes had passed. Lori told officers she fled the scene in fear. That Charles had come at her with a bat. That Alex had to step in. But investigators say the entire story was staged. In court, prosecutors pointed to Lori's motive: Charles had secretly changed the beneficiary on his life insurance policy months earlier. Lori was out. His sister, Kay Woodcock, was in. After Charles's death, Lori called the insurance company—and only then learned she wasn't getting the money. She texted Chad Daybell: “He changed it in March. It was probably Ned before we got rid of him.” “Ned” was the name she gave the evil spirit she believed had overtaken Charles. Witnesses will testify that Lori claimed Charles was possessed and needed to be “cast out.” That she led a group of women in a spiritual exorcism. That she talked about drugging Charles with JJ's crushed pills. That Alex openly said he wanted Charles dead. One witness, Christina, said Lori brushed off her concerns by saying she was joking. A month later, Charles was dead. Now Lori sits in the courtroom—wearing a navy suit, flipping through notes, calling witnesses, and sparring with the prosecution. When firefighter Cowden testified that no CPR had been given, she pressed him. Asked whether cracking the sternum was guaranteed. Asked about blood patterns. Asked about technique. But Cowden didn't budge. He said everything he saw—everything he didn't see—told him no one had tried to save Charles. Another firefighter, Captain Kent Keller, backed him up. He described the scene as eerily tidy. Charles's body was in the middle of an empty room. No overturned furniture. No signs of chaos. Just a bat, a ball cap, and a dead man on the floor. Keller told the jury it looked like Charles had been dead for some time before they got there. Lividity and modeling had already set in. Blood had pooled beneath him. His pupils were fixed. And the detail that stuck with Keller? That everything about the room—the setup, the silence, the strange calm—just felt off. #LoriVallowDaybell #CharlesVallow #DoomsdayMom #TrueCrimePodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Breaking Down Lori Vallow Daybell's Delusional Role As Her Own Attorney A Dead Man, a Doomsday Plan, and 47 Minutes of Silence Charles Vallow was shot twice inside a house he paid for. He lay dead on the floor for 47 minutes before anyone bothered to call 911. And now, the woman once married to him—Lori Vallow Daybell—is on trial for conspiring to make that happen. This isn't Idaho. It's Maricopa County, Arizona. But the woman at the center of the story is the same: convicted murderer, former beauty queen, five-time wife, and self-proclaimed spiritual warrior who believed people could become “zombies” possessed by evil spirits. In this trial, Lori isn't just the defendant—she's also her own attorney. Representing herself, cross-examining witnesses, and objecting to testimony as she fights charges that she orchestrated the murder of her estranged husband in 2019. According to prosecutors, Lori conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles so she could cash in on a $1 million life insurance policy and clear the way to marry Chad Daybell—an LDS fiction author and her apocalyptic soulmate. They say this wasn't spontaneous. It was a plan rooted in delusion and tied up in scripture. Days before the shooting, Lori texted Alex: “It's all coming to a head this week. I will be like Nephi, I am told, and so will you.” In LDS scripture, Nephi is known for killing a man because God commanded it. On the morning of July 11, 2019, Charles texted Lori's other brother, Adam, with a warning: “They're planning something.” Adam replied, “Absolutely.” Charles showed up at Lori's Chandler home to pick up their son, JJ. He never made it out alive. The first shot went through his chest and pierced his heart. He fell. Then, according to testimony and forensic evidence, a second shot was fired from above, traveling downward into the floor, where the bullet lodged in a baseboard across the room. Maricopa County firefighter Scott Cowden testified that when he arrived, Charles was already cold. No pulse, no breath, no attempt at CPR. Cowden, who teaches CPR for a living, said he knew right away no one had tried to save Charles. When he started compressions, he felt the telltale crunch of an untouched chest cavity. It's the grim equivalent of walking into a house and smelling smoke—you just know. What Cowden didn't see? Blood. Aside from the pooling around Charles's body, there was nothing. No trail down the hall. No mess in the kitchen. No bloody towels, napkins, or paper—despite Alex's claim that he'd been holding his bleeding head. Cowden said the paper towel Alex had was mostly clean. He also noticed Alex didn't look injured. Didn't act it either. He described him as calm, nonchalant. Sunglasses still perched on his head, perfectly balanced and unbothered—odd for someone who supposedly just wrestled with a former semi-pro baseball player. Then there's the silence. Lori left the house with JJ and Tylee, taking Charles's rental car. She went to Burger King, then Walgreens, then dropped JJ off at school. She spoke with Alex twice while out. Still, neither of them called for help until 47 minutes had passed. Lori told officers she fled the scene in fear. That Charles had come at her with a bat. That Alex had to step in. But investigators say the entire story was staged. In court, prosecutors pointed to Lori's motive: Charles had secretly changed the beneficiary on his life insurance policy months earlier. Lori was out. His sister, Kay Woodcock, was in. After Charles's death, Lori called the insurance company—and only then learned she wasn't getting the money. She texted Chad Daybell: “He changed it in March. It was probably Ned before we got rid of him.” “Ned” was the name she gave the evil spirit she believed had overtaken Charles.

Will Lori Vallow Daybell NEED To Testify To Get Her Story Heard, Attorney Bob Motta Breaks It Down Was Lori Vallow really just a misunderstood mom — or the mastermind behind a murderous conspiracy? In this twisted chapter of the saga, Tony Brueski and defense attorney Bob Motta dig into the bizarre events leading up to and following the alleged killing of Charles Vallow. The challenge for prosecutors? Proving that Lori wasn't just passively watching her brother Alex Cox take matters into his own hands—but that she was the one pulling the strings. With Alex conveniently dead from a highly suspicious pulmonary embolism (that may or may not have been assisted by a strategically placed air bubble), and Lori texting him in what can only be described as “cult code,” the state's case leans hard on circumstantial evidence and divine delusion. We're talking milkshake forensics, fast food alibis, and the world's least convincing grieving widow—who thought a Burger King promise was worth more than dealing with a freshly murdered husband. Add in a self-represented Lori who might just go full “I'm a prophet, you're all possessed” in front of a jury, and this one is less courtroom drama and more reality TV meets true crime apocalypse. Will the jury buy the celestial love affair and zombie ex-husband theory—or are we all just characters in Lori's allegedly deranged version of scripture? #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #DefenseDiaries #BobMotta #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Lori Daybell: The Cult Mom Returns to Court- Prosecution Opening Statements In Full Lori Vallow Daybell is back on trial—this time in Arizona, where she's accused of conspiring to murder her estranged husband, Charles Vallow, in 2019. You probably know her as the Idaho mom who claimed her kids were zombies, married a doomsday author, and was convicted of killing her two youngest children, JJ and Tylee. But this part of the saga brings us to Chandler, a suburb of Phoenix, where the story first started turning deadly. Prosecutors say Vallow Daybell teamed up with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles so she could collect on a $1 million life insurance policy and marry her apocalyptic boyfriend, Chad Daybell. At the time, she was still married to Charles—though they were separated—and he had just moved to Arizona with Lori's other brother, Adam Cox, to stage an intervention. Charles had told friends that Lori had become obsessed with near-death experiences and past lives on other planets. He said she threatened to ruin him financially and have him killed. Four months before his death, he asked a court to order a mental health evaluation. It never happened. On the day of the shooting, Charles showed up at Lori's house to pick up their son, JJ. What followed was a strange and fatal series of events that, according to the prosecution, had nothing to do with self-defense and everything to do with premeditation. Alex Cox claimed Charles hit him with a baseball bat and that he shot Charles in self-defense. But prosecutors say the scene tells a different story. There was hardly any blood in the house—except pooling around Charles's body. No signs of a struggle. No blood on the gun. Alex's sunglasses, which he claimed were knocked off in the fight, never even moved. Charles was shot twice, once in the chest and again while he was on the ground—a trajectory that suggests it was a deliberate follow-up shot. And then there's the timeline. Lori left the house right after the shooting with JJ and Tylee—driving Charles's rental car to Burger King and Walgreens before dropping JJ off at school. She spoke with Alex twice after the shooting but waited 47 minutes to call 911. That's nearly an hour Charles lay dead on the floor while, prosecutors say, Alex “staged the scene” to make it look like self-defense. The trial is expected to last six weeks. And here's where it gets even weirder: Lori is representing herself. No lawyer. Just her, facing off against the state while still claiming her innocence. She's already been convicted in Idaho and sentenced to life in prison for killing her kids and conspiring to kill her then-boyfriend's wife, Tammy Daybell. Chad, now her husband, has been sentenced to death. In court, Lori's been objecting to witnesses, challenging the evidence, and arguing that people testifying against her are just going off what they've seen on TV. One of those witnesses, though, will reportedly testify that Lori said Charles was “possessed” by an evil spirit named Ned. Others will talk about Lori and Alex seeing themselves as religious warriors—believing they were doing God's work by eliminating evil spirits in human bodies. The case is getting national attention again, not just for the alleged crime, but for the bizarre belief system behind it—one that Lori and Chad used to justify the unthinkable. And while Alex Cox died five months after the shooting of a blood clot, his story and Lori's version of events are now both under a microscope. #LoriVallow #TrueCrimeTrial #DoomsdayMom #CharlesVallow Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Jury Seated in Lori Vallow Daybell's Arizona Trial—She'll Represent Herself in Charles Vallow Murder Case The jury is in. Lori Vallow Daybell will face her second murder-related trial, this time in Arizona—and she's doing it her way. As in, she's representing herself. That's right. The woman already sentenced to life in prison for the murders of her children and fifth husband's former wife is now stepping into a courtroom again, only this time as her own attorney. If you thought this case couldn't get any more bizarre, buckle up. Twelve jurors and four alternates were selected in just two days down in Maricopa County. The final panel includes thirteen men and three women, who were sworn in and instructed by the judge Tuesday afternoon. Their job? Decide whether Lori Vallow Daybell conspired to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. Here's what's alleged: On July 11, 2019, Charles Vallow went to Lori's house in Chandler, Arizona to pick up his son, JJ. That's when Alex Cox, Lori's brother, shot him. Cox claimed it was self-defense. No charges were ever filed against him, because in a twist of either karma or tragic coincidence—depending on how you see it—he died in December 2019. Natural causes. Just five months after Charles was killed. So now, it's Lori on trial. Prosecutors say she wasn't just a bystander. They claim she was in on it. Conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. If the jury agrees, she could be looking at another life sentence. Not that it changes much—she's already serving life in Idaho for the deaths of JJ, Tylee, and Tammy Daybell. Let's talk about the setup. The trial will run Monday through Thursday, 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Arizona time. A video camera will be in the courtroom, with a 30-minute delay for livestreaming. So yes, you can watch this unfold—just with a little lag. Lori will be navigating the courtroom solo, but not entirely alone. She has two advisory attorneys, a paralegal, and an investigator in her corner. Still, she'll be doing the heavy lifting: questioning witnesses, making objections, and deciding whether to testify. And if she does choose to take the stand, she won't be able to ask her own questions directly. The judge has ruled that she'll need to write them down ahead of time and have someone else read them aloud. It's like trial-by-Mad Libs. On the other side of the courtroom, you've got Maricopa County Deputy Attorney Treena Kay leading the prosecution. Opening statements kick off Monday. And from there, we'll see how Lori Vallow Daybell handles being both the accused and the defense. She's not fighting for freedom—she's already locked away for life. But in a case that's twisted through deaths, doomsday beliefs, and courtroom chaos, it seems she's still not done talking. #LoriVallow #TrueCrime #CharlesVallow #ArizonaTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
