Lori Vallow Daybell GUILTY Verdict in 30 Minutes: Third Murder Conviction Timeline Lori Vallow Daybell found GUILTY of conspiracy to commit murder in just 30 MINUTES of jury deliberation on June 12, 2025. This marks her THIRD murder-related conviction following her Idaho life sentences for killing her children JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and her April 2025 Arizona conviction for conspiring to murder fourth husband Charles Vallow. In this comprehensive breakdown, we analyze the October 2019 attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux, Lori's niece's ex-husband, who survived a drive-by shooting at his Arizona home. The prosecution's case included damning evidence: modified Jeep with tinted windows and removed back seat, gunshot residue, burner phones, and cell tower data placing conspirators at the scene. Watch as we examine why Lori Vallow Daybell chose to represent herself (pro se) despite having advisory attorneys present, and how this decision led to one of the fastest guilty verdicts in recent Arizona criminal history. The packed courtroom included Brandon Boudreaux and his wife Jenny, Kay Vallow Woodcock (Charles Vallow's sister), and Colby Ryan (Tylee's brother). Judge Justin Beresky scheduled sentencing for BOTH Arizona conspiracy convictions on July 25, 2025, from 9:00 AM to noon. Despite already serving life sentences in Idaho, Lori faces additional time for these Arizona crimes. This video covers: Complete trial timeline and verdict details Evidence breakdown: modified vehicle, digital forensics, gunshot residue Why the jury deliberated for only 30 minutes Courtroom reactions and victim impact Legal implications of self-representation in murder trials Connection to the larger Vallow-Daybell murder cases Sentencing predictions and interstate custody issues Subscribe for continuing coverage of the Vallow-Daybell cases and in-depth true crime analysis. #LoriVallow #LoriDaybell #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #GuiltyVerdict #DoomsdayMom #JJandTylee #BrandonBoudreaux #ArizonaTrial #ConspiracyToMurder Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Daybell Day 4: Judge Orders FORCE to Drag Lori Vallow Daybell to Court!  The Lori Vallow Daybell murder trial took an unprecedented turn on June 10, 2025, when court documents revealed that Judge Justin Beresky authorized the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office to use "any means necessary, including force" to ensure the convicted child killer's attendance at her own trial. This explosive development comes after a week of dramatic courtroom chaos that included Vallow Daybell being physically removed from court for arguing with the judge. In this deep-dive analysis, we examine the complete breakdown of courtroom decorum as the so-called "Doomsday Mom" attempts to represent herself while facing conspiracy charges for the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux, her former nephew-in-law. Already serving three consecutive life sentences for murdering her children JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, plus conspiring to kill Chad Daybell's first wife Tammy, Vallow Daybell now faces additional charges that could extend her imprisonment. We break down the shocking pattern of manipulation tactics, including her strategic "illnesses" that mysteriously appear when proceedings don't go her way, her confrontational exchanges with Judge Beresky, and the moment he ordered deputies to remove her from the courtroom after she accused him of yelling at her. Former juror testimonies reveal her inappropriate smiling and laughing during murder proceedings, painting a disturbing picture of a defendant completely detached from reality. This video includes exclusive analysis of court transcripts, body language breakdowns, and expert commentary on the legal implications of self-representation in capital cases. We explore the psychological profile of a defendant who convinced followers her children were "zombies" possessed by dark spirits, and now attempts to manipulate the justice system itself. The cost to Arizona taxpayers has exceeded $85,000 for this spectacle, as Vallow Daybell continues to delay proceedings with theatrical sick days and baseless motions. Whether you're following the Lori Vallow Daybell case closely or just discovering this shocking true crime saga, this video provides comprehensive coverage of the latest developments in one of America's most disturbing murder cases. The intersection of religious extremism, family annihilation, and courtroom drama creates a true crime story unlike any other. #LoriVallowDaybell #DoomsdayMom #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #CourtroomDrama #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #ChadDaybell #ArizonaTrial #CultMom Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Day 3 of Lori Vallow Daybell's final murder conspiracy trial revealed devastating digital evidence that could seal her fate forever. Detective Ryan Pillar's explosive testimony exposed how Alex Cox's burner phone created an electronic trail leading directly to the attempted assassination of Brandon Boudreaux on October 2, 2019. This comprehensive analysis breaks down the most damning evidence presented in Phoenix Superior Court, including cell phone records that place Lori and Alex in direct communication during the shooting, vehicle modifications that transformed a Jeep into a mobile hunting platform, and post-crime Google searches that reveal consciousness of guilt. We examine how Brandon Boudreaux immediately identified his attackers, the sophisticated planning behind the failed murder attempt, and Lori's controversial decision to represent herself in court. The forensic evidence is staggering: gunshot residue throughout the Jeep's interior, DNA evidence on multiple surfaces, license plate reader data tracking the vehicle's journey from Idaho to Arizona, and surveillance footage of the defendants removing evidence from storage units. Detective Pillar's testimony revealed Alex Cox's extensive preparation, including researching Brandon's address, studying shooting ranges, calculating trajectory angles, and mapping escape routes. Lori Vallow Daybell's cross-examination strategy exposed genuine investigative gaps while simultaneously demonstrating her understanding of criminal procedure. Her questioning highlighted untested glass fragments, missing bullet casings, absent surveillance footage, and transcription errors in witness interviews. However, her post-shooting internet searches for "man shot in gilbert az" and attempts to track news coverage reveal a defendant aware of and concerned about the crime's outcome. This attempted murder represents the final piece in a broader conspiracy that allegedly eliminated anyone Lori and Chad Daybell viewed as obstacles to their apocalyptic plans. Already serving life sentences for murdering her children JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, plus conspiracy to murder husband Charles Vallow, this trial marks Lori's last chance to face accountability for the full scope of her alleged crimes. The psychological implications are profound: a mother representing herself in court while facing charges for systematically eliminating family members who opposed her doomsday beliefs. We analyze the courtroom dynamics, Judge Justin Beresky's attempts to maintain order after Friday's dramatic removal, and the prosecution's methodical presentation of circumstantial evidence that builds an overwhelming case for premeditated conspiracy. #LoriVallow #DoomsdayMom #TrueCrime #BrandonBoudreaux #MurderTrial #AlexCox #ChadDaybell #CellPhoneEvidence #ForensicEvidence #CourtAnalysis    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

10 DISTURBING Moments From Lori Vallow Daybell's Jury Selection The Lori Vallow Daybell trial took a bizarre turn on June 4th, 2025, when the convicted child killer known as the 'Doomsday Mom' attempted to delay her final murder conspiracy trial by claiming illness and appearing in a wheelchair. This comprehensive breakdown reveals the ten most disturbing moments from her jury selection process, including how Judge Justin Beresky called out her manipulation tactics and forced the trial to proceed. From 295 potential jurors being whittled down to just 66 qualified candidates, to Vallow Daybell mysteriously recovering from her 'illness' when ordered to participate, this case continues to demonstrate the psychological manipulation tactics that made her one of America's most notorious female killers. We analyze the courtroom psychology, legal strategies, and the challenges of finding impartial jurors for someone already serving multiple life sentences for murdering her children Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, plus conspiracy charges in the deaths of her husband Charles Vallow and Chad Daybell's wife Tammy. This Arizona trial focuses on the alleged conspiracy to murder Brandon Boudreaux, her former nephew-in-law, representing the final chapter in a multi-state killing spree driven by extremist doomsday beliefs. Expert analysis reveals how Vallow Daybell's self-representation strategy may be her last attempt to control a narrative that has already resulted in multiple murder convictions and life sentences." #LoriVallowDaybell #DoomsdayMom #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #CourtDrama #JurySelection #BrandonBoudreaux #ArizonaTrial #CultMom #SerialKiller Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Lori Daybell, who was convicted of killing her two children and her husband's previous wife in 2023, stands trial once again. This time, she's representing herself as she faces charges of conspiring to kill her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. On 4/9/2025, Nancy Jo Hancock, reportedly one of the last people to see Charles alive, took the stand for the state of Arizona detailing her final encounter with him the night before he was shot. This episode takes you inside the courtroom for her full testimony, including a fiery exchange during cross-examination conducted by the defendant herself.

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.

Chad Daybell is a former gravedigger and author of apocalyptic novels. He gained notoriety in 2020 in connection with the deaths of his former wife, Tammy Daybell, and his new wife, Lori Vallow Daybell's two children, Tylee Ryan and Joshua "JJ" Vallow. The case has received significant media attention due to its bizarre and complex nature.Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow were both involved in a doomsday prepper group and shared similar religious beliefs. They married shortly after the deaths of both of their former spouses. The deaths of Tammy Daybell and the two children were initially considered unrelated, but suspicions arose when investigators discovered inconsistencies and strange behavior from Chad and Lori.Tammy Daybell died in October 2019 under suspicious circumstances, initially attributed to natural causes. However, her body was exhumed after law enforcement began investigating the deaths of Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow. Autopsy results have not been publicly released.Tylee Ryan, 17, and JJ Vallow, 7, were reported missing in September 2019. Their disappearance sparked a nationwide search. Months later, their bodies were found buried on Chad Daybell's property in Salem, Idaho. Autopsies revealed that Tylee had been dismembered and burned, while JJ had been wrapped in plastic and duct tape.Chad Daybell was arrested and charged with destruction, alteration, or concealment of evidence after the children's bodies were discovered on his property. Lori Vallow was also arrested and charged with multiple counts, including desertion and nonsupport of dependent children, obstruction, solicitation to commit a crime, and contempt of court.In this episode we recap what went down during the first day during opening statements.Opening statements at a trial serve as the initial opportunity for both the prosecution and defense to present their case to the jury. Here's a comprehensive breakdown:Purpose:Opening statements provide an outline of each side's argument, previewing the evidence they will present during the trial.They aim to establish credibility, create a narrative, and persuade the jury to adopt their interpretation of the case.Format:Typically, the prosecution delivers their opening statement first, followed by the defense.Each side has the opportunity to make an uninterrupted statement outlining their case.Opening statements are not evidence themselves but rather a roadmap to guide the jury through the trial.Content:Prosecution's Opening Statement:Prosecutors introduce themselves, outline their role in the trial, and briefly describe the charges against the defendant.They provide an overview of the evidence they intend to present, highlighting key witnesses, documents, and other exhibits.Prosecutors often frame the case within a narrative that portrays the defendant's alleged actions and the impact on the victim or society.They may appeal to the jury's emotions or sense of justice to build support for their argument.Defense's Opening Statement:The defense follows a similar structure, introducing themselves and their role in the trial.They may challenge the prosecution's version of events, offering an alternative interpretation of the evidence.Defense attorneys highlight any weaknesses or inconsistencies in the prosecution's case and present their theory of the defense.They may emphasize the presumption of innocence and the burden of proof on the prosecution, reminding the jury that the defendant is not required to prove their innocence.Like the prosecution, the defense may also appeal to the jury's emotions or sense of fairness.Strategies:Both sides use opening statements strategically to set the tone for the trial and establish rapport with the jury.Prosecutors often aim to build momentum and credibility by presenting a compelling narrative of the crime and its consequences.Defense attorneys may seek to create doubt or raise questions about the prosecution's case, planting seeds for their defense strategy.Both sides must be careful not to overstate their case or introduce evidence that they cannot ultimately prove, as this could undermine their credibility with the jury.Limitations:Opening statements are not arguments or evidence; they are simply an outline of each side's case.Attorneys must refrain from making objections or arguing with the opposing side during opening statements.The judge may provide instructions to the jury reminding them that opening statements are not evidence and should not be considered as such.(commercial at 11:29)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:LIVE UPDATES | First witness takes the stand in Chad Daybell trial - East Idaho NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

​On the 8th day of Lori Vallow Daybell's trial, the court focused on the events surrounding the welfare check for her son, JJ Vallow, in November 2019. Rexburg Police Detective Chuck Kunsaitis testified about the initial welfare check, during which Lori claimed JJ was with a friend, Melanie Gibb, in Arizona. However, subsequent attempts to verify JJ's whereabouts with Gibb were unsuccessful, raising suspicions about Lori's statements.Additionally, body camera footage from the welfare check was presented, showing Lori's demeanor and responses to officers' inquiries about JJ's location. The footage revealed inconsistencies in Lori's account, as she mentioned JJ was with Gibb but could not provide verifiable details. This evidence highlighted the challenges law enforcement faced in locating JJ and underscored the urgency of the investigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

​On the sixth day of Lori Vallow Daybell's trial, the prosecution continued to build its case by presenting evidence and witness testimonies that shed light on the events surrounding the disappearance and deaths of Vallow's children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan. The court heard from individuals familiar with Vallow's beliefs and actions, providing insight into her mindset and the circumstances leading up to the tragic events.Additionally, the prosecution introduced evidence highlighting Vallow's financial transactions and communications during the period in question. This information aimed to establish a timeline and motive, suggesting that Vallow's actions were influenced by her beliefs and relationships. The day's proceedings contributed to a deeper understanding of the case, as the court examined the complex factors that may have played a role in the alleged crimes.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

​On the fifth day of Lori Vallow Daybell's trial, Zulema Pastenes, who was briefly married to Vallow's brother, Alex Cox, provided critical testimony. Pastenes detailed the group's apocalyptic beliefs, including the concept of individuals being possessed by dark spirits, rendering them "zombies." She testified that Vallow and Chad Daybell taught that such individuals needed to be "released" to fulfill a divine plan. Pastenes also recounted that Vallow claimed to receive visions and revelations, which guided their actions and reinforced their radical beliefs.Pastenes further testified about her brief marriage to Alex Cox, who was deeply involved in Vallow and Daybell's inner circle. She revealed that Cox believed he was a warrior chosen to protect Vallow and carry out necessary actions against those possessed by dark spirits. Pastenes' testimony shed light on the group's dynamics and the extent of Cox's commitment to Vallow and Daybell's directives, providing context to the events leading up to the disappearance and deaths of Vallow's children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

However, subsequent attempts to verify JJ's whereabouts with Gibb were unsuccessful, raising suspicions about Lori's statements.Additionally, body camera footage from the welfare check was presented, showing Lori's demeanor and responses to officers' inquiries about JJ's location. The footage revealed inconsistencies in Lori's account, as she mentioned JJ was with Gibb but could not provide verifiable details. This evidence highlighted the challenges law enforcement faced in locating JJ and underscored the urgency of the investigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

​On the fourth day of Lori Vallow Daybell's trial, key testimony was provided by Melanie Gibb, a close friend of Vallow. Gibb detailed Vallow's escalating involvement with Chad Daybell and their shared apocalyptic beliefs, which included concepts of "light" and "dark" spirits and the notion of individuals becoming "zombies" when possessed by evil entities. Gibb recounted that Vallow believed her children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, along with her husband Charles Vallow, had become "dark" or possessed, leading to justifications for extreme actions against them.Gibb also testified about a recorded phone conversation she had with Vallow and Daybell in November 2019, during which she confronted them about JJ's whereabouts. In this call, Vallow claimed JJ was safe and happy, but Gibb expressed concerns about their beliefs and actions. This testimony provided insight into the defendants' mindset and the justifications they allegedly used for their actions, highlighting the influence of their shared religious beliefs on the events leading up to the children's disappearances.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

​On the sixth day of Lori Vallow Daybell's trial, the prosecution continued to build its case by presenting evidence and witness testimonies that shed light on the events surrounding the disappearance and deaths of Vallow's children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan. The court heard from individuals familiar with Vallow's beliefs and actions, providing insight into her mindset and the circumstances leading up to the tragic events.Additionally, the prosecution introduced evidence highlighting Vallow's financial transactions and communications during the period in question. This information aimed to establish a timeline and motive, suggesting that Vallow's actions were influenced by her beliefs and relationships. The day's proceedings contributed to a deeper understanding of the case, as the court examined the complex factors that may have played a role in the alleged crimes.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

​On the second day of Lori Vallow Daybell's trial, Rexburg Police Detective Ray Hermosillo provided detailed testimony regarding the investigation into the disappearance of Vallow's children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan. Detective Hermosillo recounted the events of June 9, 2020, when law enforcement executed a search warrant at Chad Daybell's residence. During the search, they discovered JJ's body wrapped in black plastic and duct tape in a shallow grave near a tree and pond on the property. Additionally, in a pet cemetery area, they uncovered charred human remains, later identified as Tylee, buried near a fire pit.Detective Hermosillo also described attending the autopsies of both children. He detailed that JJ was found wearing red pajamas, with his head wrapped in a white plastic bag secured by duct tape, and his wrists and ankles bound. Tylee's remains were so severely burned and dismembered that determining the cause of death was challenging. The courtroom was shown graphic photographs of the autopsy, leading to emotional reactions from attendees, including visible distress from JJ's grandfather, Larry Woodcock.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Lori Vallow's relationship with her brother, Alex Cox, was notably unusual and deeply intertwined with the events leading up to the murders of her children, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, as well as the killing of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. Described as intensely loyal to Lori, Alex appeared to see himself as her protector, often acting as her enforcer in moments of conflict. He shot and killed Charles Vallow in July 2019, claiming self-defense, despite evidence suggesting premeditation. He was also believed to have played a direct role in the deaths of Tylee and JJ, with cell phone records placing him near the burial sites on Chad Daybell's property around the time of their disappearances. Additionally, Alex married Zulema Pastenes, a close associate of Lori and Chad, in what many believe was a rushed, suspicious union orchestrated for legal protection. His unwavering commitment to Lori and his apparent willingness to eliminate perceived threats have led many to speculate that he was more than just a devoted brother—he was an active participant in a series of calculated crimes.The official narrative surrounding Alex Cox's sudden death on December 12, 2019, has been met with significant skepticism. Authorities ruled his death as natural, attributing it to bilateral pulmonary thromboembolism (blood clots in the lungs), but the timing and circumstances raise questions. Alex had been a central figure in the deaths surrounding Lori and Chad, yet he conveniently died just days after Tammy Daybell's body was exhumed for investigation. His widow, Zulema Pastenes, claimed he made ominous remarks in his final days, hinting that “he knew he was going to die soon.” Additionally, his sudden health decline does not align with any known history of severe medical issues. Given the growing legal scrutiny on Lori and Chad, many speculate whether Alex's death was truly natural or if he was silenced to protect others involved. Some theorists even suggest poisoning or an assisted overdose—a convenient way to eliminate a key player in an unraveling criminal conspiracy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

​On the fifth day of Lori Vallow Daybell's trial, Zulema Pastenes, who was briefly married to Vallow's brother, Alex Cox, provided critical testimony. Pastenes detailed the group's apocalyptic beliefs, including the concept of individuals being possessed by dark spirits, rendering them "zombies." She testified that Vallow and Chad Daybell taught that such individuals needed to be "released" to fulfill a divine plan. Pastenes also recounted that Vallow claimed to receive visions and revelations, which guided their actions and reinforced their radical beliefs.Pastenes further testified about her brief marriage to Alex Cox, who was deeply involved in Vallow and Daybell's inner circle. She revealed that Cox believed he was a warrior chosen to protect Vallow and carry out necessary actions against those possessed by dark spirits. Pastenes' testimony shed light on the group's dynamics and the extent of Cox's commitment to Vallow and Daybell's directives, providing context to the events leading up to the disappearance and deaths of Vallow's children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the opening statement of the Lori Vallow Daybell trial, the prosecution painted a chilling picture of a mother consumed by power, greed, and religious fanaticism, leading to the tragic murders of her children, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, as well as the conspiracy to murder Tammy Daybell, the former wife of Lori's husband, Chad Daybell. Prosecutors emphasized that Vallow and Chad viewed themselves as religious figures with a divine mission, justifying their crimes by labeling their victims as “dark spirits” or “zombies.” The prosecution laid out how Lori's obsession with Chad, combined with their apocalyptic beliefs, led to a calculated series of deaths that removed obstacles in their pursuit of wealth and control. They detailed how the children were last seen alive in September 2019, with their bodies later discovered buried on Chad Daybell's Idaho property in June 2020. Tylee had been dismembered and burned, while JJ was found wrapped in plastic and duct tape, evidence that prosecutors argued demonstrated premeditation and cruelty.The defense, on the other hand, sought to distance Lori from the physical act of murder, portraying her as a misguided and manipulated woman rather than a cold-blooded killer. Lori's attorney claimed there was no direct evidence tying her to the killings and that she was influenced by Chad Daybell's control over her beliefs and actions. They suggested that Chad and his associates were more responsible for the deaths, shifting the focus away from Lori's culpability. The defense also hinted that Lori's mental state and religious devotion made her vulnerable to manipulation, subtly planting the idea that she was more of a follower than an orchestrator of the crimes. However, prosecutors countered this by emphasizing that Lori was not just complicit but an active participant, having told multiple people that her children were “safe” long after they had been murdered. The opening statements set the stage for a highly emotional and complex trial, with the prosecution seeking justice for the victims and the defense attempting to cast doubt on Lori's role in their deaths.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The jury selection process for the Lori Vallow Daybell trial concluded in early April 2023, marking a significant step in the high-profile case surrounding the murders of her children, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, and the conspiracy to kill Tammy Daybell. Given the extensive media coverage and the disturbing nature of the allegations, the court carefully screened hundreds of potential jurors over several days in Ada County, Idaho, where the trial had been moved to ensure a fair and impartial jury. The process involved extensive questioning to assess jurors' knowledge of the case, their ability to remain unbiased, and their views on topics such as religion, mental health, and extreme beliefs, which were central to the prosecution's case. The defense and prosecution used their challenges to strike jurors they believed might be prejudiced, ultimately selecting 12 jurors and six alternates to hear the case.News coverage of the jury selection highlighted the difficulty in finding individuals who had not been exposed to the intense media scrutiny surrounding the case. Many potential jurors had already formed opinions based on news reports and social media discussions, making it challenging to ensure an impartial panel. Some were dismissed due to personal connections to law enforcement or prior experiences with child abuse cases, which could affect their ability to remain neutral. With a jury now in place, legal analysts speculated on how the selected individuals' backgrounds and beliefs might influence their views on Lori Vallow's mental state and culpability. As the trial began, the prosecution was expected to argue that Vallow played an active role in planning and covering up the murders, while the defense sought to portray her as a manipulated victim of Chad Daybell's apocalyptic influence. The jury's composition and ability to weigh these arguments impartially became a focal point of discussions leading into the trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The jury selection process in the Lori Vallow Daybell trial was a meticulous and time-consuming effort due to the high-profile nature of the case and the widespread media coverage surrounding it. The process began in March 2023 in Ada County, Idaho, where the trial was moved from Fremont County to ensure a more impartial jury pool. Over the course of several days, dozens of potential jurors were questioned about their knowledge of the case, personal biases, and ability to remain fair and impartial. Attorneys on both sides focused heavily on whether potential jurors had been exposed to extensive media coverage, as well as their views on issues like mental illness and religious beliefs—both of which played a central role in Vallow's defense. The court aimed to select a jury that could fairly weigh the evidence, considering the disturbing allegations against Vallow, who was accused of murdering her two children, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, and conspiring to kill her husband's previous wife, Tammy Daybell.After careful screening, a jury of 12 members along with six alternates was finalized. The prosecution and defense used their allotted peremptory challenges to strike jurors they felt might be unfavorable to their side, while also navigating challenges for cause—such as individuals who admitted they had already formed opinions about the case. The selection process was critical, as the defense sought jurors who might be open to arguments regarding Vallow's mental state and alleged manipulation by her husband, Chad Daybell, while the prosecution sought individuals who could objectively analyze the evidence, including grisly forensic findings. Once seated, the jury was instructed to avoid outside influences, including media coverage, to ensure a fair trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Unraveling of Lori Vallow Daybell Lori Vallow Daybell has spent years spinning her own version of events, but in an Arizona courtroom on Tuesday, the judge wasn't buying it. Already convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the murders of her two children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and for conspiring to kill her husband's first wife, Tammy Daybell, Lori is now facing more charges—this time in Arizona. She's accused of murdering her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and conspiring to kill her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. And if Tuesday's hearing was any indication, things aren't exactly going in her favor. Lori, representing herself, started by asking the judge to ban cameras from the courtroom, arguing that the media coverage of her case has been “inherently prejudicial.” She specifically called out Court TV, claiming their coverage has falsely shaped public perception and turned her into some kind of spectacle. Judge Justin Beresky listened but made it clear he was leaning toward allowing a single camera with restrictions—no zooming in on notes, just a straightforward courtroom feed. Then Lori moved on to jury selection, requesting that potential jurors be questioned individually instead of in groups. She claimed her previous trial in Idaho required screening nearly 2,000 jurors and worried that people would try to get on this jury just for the attention. The judge didn't seem convinced that a change was necessary but took her concerns under advisement. One of the biggest blows to Lori's defense came when she tried to introduce statements from her brother, Alex Cox, as evidence. Cox, who shot and killed Charles Vallow in 2019, initially claimed self-defense, but Lori wanted his statements admitted in court. The judge shut that down quickly, ruling that not only were the statements hearsay, but Lori—having been convicted of conspiring in Cox's actions—was legally prohibited from using his words as evidence in her defense. Lori also pushed for additional evidence from the prosecution, demanding access to certain police recordings and conversations that she claimed exist. The judge told prosecutors to check again but made it clear that if they said they didn't have the material, he couldn't force them to produce it. Then came the issue of time. With jury selection set for March 31, Lori reminded the court that her speedy trial deadline was May 11 and insisted that the trial needed to move forward within that time frame. But Judge Beresky overruled her, waiving the deadline over her objection and pointing out that both sides had acknowledged the impossibility of trying two complex cases at once. The next hearing is set for March 18, where both sides will argue over remaining issues, including whether Lori can bring in a digital forensics expert for her defense. But after Tuesday's hearing, one thing is clear—Lori may be running the show in her own mind, but in court, she's losing control fast. #LoriVallow #DoomsdayMom #TrueCrime #Justice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Keith Morrison has spoken with dozens of inmates over his career, but nothing comes close to his jailhouse interview with Lori Vallow Daybell. Not in sheer strangeness, not in frustration, and certainly not in the way she seemed completely at ease sitting across from him, spinning a story that defied both logic and reality. It took years for Morrison and his team to secure the interview. Letters, emails, and persistence finally paid off when Daybell agreed to sit down with him in Maricopa County Jail. Ninety minutes. That was the time they were granted. And Morrison, a seasoned journalist, thought that would be more than enough. But it wasn't. From the moment she walked into the room, it was clear that Daybell was not there to confess or clarify. She winked at the camera, her demeanor unsettlingly upbeat for someone convicted of the murders of her two youngest children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, along with Chad Daybell's former wife, Tammy Daybell. She's already serving a life sentence in Idaho, and another trial looms in Arizona for the death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. Yet, none of that seemed to weigh on her. Instead, she took control of the interview, redirecting, deflecting, and challenging Morrison at every turn. “Get your facts straight, Keith,” she chided him more than once, as if she were the one in charge of setting the record straight. “I thought we were going to be friends, Keith.” There was an unsettling rhythm to her words, a performative quality, like she had rehearsed these lines in her head long before the cameras started rolling. Morrison, no stranger to manipulative interview subjects, saw right through it. She had an agenda, and it wasn't to tell the truth. It was to tell her truth—the one that lives inside her head, untouched by facts or evidence. The chore, as Morrison described it, was to pull her off that well-rehearsed train track and into a place where reality mattered. But Lori wasn't having it. She danced around questions, throwing out a sprawling, convoluted narrative that he likened to a shaggy dog story—a long-winded, winding tale designed to eat up time and avoid the hard questions. “She's no dummy,” Morrison admitted. “She knew exactly what she was doing.” And what she was doing was making sure the focus remained on the illusion she had created, not on the brutal, undeniable facts of what happened to her children. But here's the thing—Lori Vallow Daybell isn't just delusional. She's charismatic. That's what makes her dangerous. That's what made people follow her. It's easy to think of cult leaders as fringe weirdos, but they're rarely that obvious. They're likable. Persuasive. Charming. Morrison could see it. She smiled. She laughed. She joked. She exuded confidence. She didn't see herself as mentally ill, though multiple evaluations declared her incompetent for trial before she was finally deemed fit. No, in her mind, she is right. And everyone else? They just don't understand. That charm, that ability to manipulate, is exactly how she convinced people to go along with her apocalyptic beliefs, her “vision” of who was light and who was dark. And when people—children included—were labeled dark, well, we know what happened next. By the end of the interview, Morrison was mentally exhausted. She had drained him, just as she had drained everyone who tried to pin her down with the truth. When the cameras stopped rolling, she smiled and told him he'd have to come back if he wanted to ask anything else. He walked out thinking, I never want to do that again. But almost immediately, he knew he would. Because that's what Lori Vallow Daybell does. She lures people in. Even those who know exactly what she is. The two-hour Dateline special will feature Morrison's full interview with Daybell, as well as conversations with law enforcement, legal experts, and her surviving son, Colby Ryan, who has spent years trying to rebuild his life in the aftermath of his mother's crimes. It airs Friday at 8 p.m. MST on NBC and will be available for streaming on Peacock the next day. #LoriVallow #Dateline #TrueCrime #KeithMorrison Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Law of Lori Exoneration or Delusion Lori Vallow Daybell says she will be exonerated. Not maybe. Not possibly. She is certain. And she's saying this from behind bars, awaiting trial for the murder of her fourth husband, while her current husband sits on death row. If there's one thing Lori has always had, it's confidence—whether it's in her bizarre religious beliefs, her devotion to Chad Daybell, or her ability to deny reality even when it's staring her in the face. This week, she sat down with NBC's Keith Morrison for what's being described as an “extensive and often combative” interview. And if there's anyone who can handle combative, it's Keith Morrison. The full special is set to air on 'Dateline,' where Lori, dressed in an orange jumpsuit and purple handcuffs, tells the world exactly what she wants them to believe. She's going to be exonerated. Not only that—she's seen the future, and in that future, she and Chad are free. She claims Jesus himself showed her this vision when she was in heaven. Now, most people who claim to see heaven aren't sitting in a jail cell convicted of murdering their own children, but then again, Lori has never been like most people. Lori was sentenced to life in prison in 2023 for the murders of her two youngest children, 7-year-old JJ Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, as well as for the murder of Chad Daybell's first wife, Tammy Daybell. The details of those crimes were horrifying—JJ and Tylee's bodies were found buried on Chad's Idaho property, their remains showing the unthinkable levels of brutality they endured. Tammy's death, originally ruled natural, was later determined to be a homicide. Chad was convicted of the same crimes. His fate, however, was different. In 2024, he was sentenced to death. The man Lori still refers to as her eternal husband is now waiting for his execution date while she sits in an Arizona jail, awaiting trial for yet another murder—that of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. Charles had long suspected Lori's descent into religious extremism was dangerous. He tried to get help, to warn people. Then one day, in July 2019, he was shot dead by Lori's brother, Alex Cox, who conveniently died later that same year, taking any potential confessions with him. Lori, undeterred by any of this, is still talking. In the upcoming 'Dateline' special, she's not just giving her side—she's doubling down. It's not a confession, and it's certainly not remorse. It's Lori being Lori. Believing that no matter what happens, she's special. She's chosen. The rules don't apply to her. The special also features interviews with key figures in the case, including Rexburg police detective Ray Hermosillo, Madison County Sheriff Ron Ball, Madison County prosecutor Rob Wood, retired FBI agent Douglas Hart, and journalist Nate Eaton, who has covered the case from the beginning. But the voice that carries the most weight belongs to Lori's eldest son, Colby Ryan. Colby, the only surviving child of Lori's, has watched as the mother he once knew disappeared into a twisted world of doomsday prophecies and murder. And in his interview, he doesn't hold back. He describes how the way his sister was treated, even after her death, was so depraved it changed the way he sees people altogether. And he's right—because what happened to Tylee wasn't just a murder. It was something that defies humanity. This will be the seventh 'Dateline' episode dedicated to Lori and Chad, and if history is any indication, it won't be the last. The fascination with this case isn't just about crime—it's about belief. About how two people could convince themselves they were on some divine mission while leaving behind a trail of destruction. For those who still can't wrap their heads around how any of this happened, 'Dateline' might provide some answers—or at least another look into the mind of a woman who remains convinced she's destined for something greater than a prison cell. 'Law of the land' says she's guilty. 'Law of Lori' says she's getting out. #LoriVallowDaybell #Dateline #TrueCrime #ChadDaybell Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
