Podcast appearances and mentions of lori vallow daybell

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we revisit the opening week of one of the most sensational murder trials in America — the Arizona case of Lori Vallow Daybell, the self-proclaimed “Doomsday Mom” now defending herself against charges of conspiracy to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. In this two-part breakdown, Tony Brueski teams up with former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke to unpack the chaotic courtroom drama, bizarre legal strategy, and psychological meltdown that have turned this trial into both a legal cautionary tale and a study in delusional self-belief. In part one, Tony and Eric dissect the prosecution's sharp, disciplined opening statement — a methodical narrative of motive, manipulation, and murder. Prosecutors allege Lori conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to eliminate Charles for a $1 million life insurance policy and clear the path to marry apocalyptic author Chad Daybell. With evidence including religious texts misused to justify killing, texts to Alex invoking scripture (“I will be like Nephi”), and forensic proof that Charles was shot twice — one bullet fired after he collapsed, the state paints a chilling picture of faith twisted into fanaticism. Then comes the chaos. Lori, representing herself, opens with rambling monologues, misplaced objections, and narcissistic cross-examinations that seem designed more to satisfy curiosity than to construct a defense. Her fixation on her late husband's private life leaves jurors bewildered and prosecutors almost amused. As Faddis notes, “It's like watching someone try to build a house without knowing what a hammer does.” Part two turns darker, as Robin Dreeke analyzes the devastating testimony of Alex Cox, now deceased but still very much present in the trial through recordings, statements, and evidence. Dreeke explores how narcissism, shared delusion, and familial loyalty intertwine in Lori's world — and how her brother's past words now serve as the prosecution's most powerful witness. Was Lori's courtroom confidence a sign of faith — or pure delusion? And how does a woman who once claimed divine authority handle being her own undoing?

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we revisit one of the most surreal and unsettling trials in modern American true crime — the Arizona murder trial of Lori Vallow Daybell, the so-called Doomsday Mom who's decided to defend herself in court while accused of orchestrating the murder of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. This episode pulls listeners straight into the Chandler, Arizona home where it all happened: two bullets, one body, and forty-seven silent minutes before anyone called for help. Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) dissect the prosecution's opening narrative — one of delusion, greed, and cold calculation — and the defense's bizarre self-representation strategy that's turning the courtroom into a psychological sideshow. Prosecutors allege Lori conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles for a $1 million life insurance payout and to clear the way to marry her apocalyptic “soulmate,” Chad Daybell. The evidence? Texts invoking scripture to justify murder (“I will be like Nephi”), phone records revealing coordination, and chilling forensic details showing Charles was shot twice — the second bullet fired downward after he collapsed. Firefighters testified the scene looked staged: no CPR, no struggle, and an eerily spotless floor. Lori, meanwhile, was running errands — Burger King, Walgreens, dropping off her son — as her husband's body cooled on the tile. But this isn't just about evidence; it's about ego and delusion on trial. Motta breaks down Lori's decision to act as her own lawyer — fumbling through legal jargon, cross-examining witnesses who seem to know more law than she does, and repeatedly trying to exclude “inconvenient” evidence from the record. As he puts it, Lori's courtroom presence is “less Harvard Law, more hostage to her own hubris.” The prosecution, for its part, is playing this round differently — keeping the talk of “zombies” and dark spirits to a minimum while focusing on motive, money, and manipulation. The goal: strip away the spiritual theatrics and reveal the human greed underneath.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we revisit the opening days of one of the most chilling courtroom dramas in modern true crime — the Arizona trial of Lori Vallow Daybell, the self-declared prophet now serving life sentences in Idaho for the murders of her children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and the conspiracy to kill Tammy Daybell. This time, Lori stands accused of murdering her fourth husband, Charles Vallow — and she's decided to be her own lawyer. In this two-part special, Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole dissect the emotional and strategic fireworks from both sides of the courtroom, starting with the prosecution's explosive opening  statement. Prosecutor Treena Kay laid out a devastating narrative of greed, manipulation, and religious delusion — alleging that Lori orchestrated the deaths of her husband and children to secure life insurance payouts and remove any obstacles to marrying Chad Daybell. Through phone records, witness testimony, and forensic evidence, the prosecution painted Lori as a woman willing to kill for prophecy, power, and profit. Tony and Stacy break down the psychological weight of the prosecution's arguments — from the use of religious ideology as control to the manipulation of her brother Alex Cox, who became her self-proclaimed “angel of death.” They also analyze the jury's visible reactions and the emotional undercurrent of a courtroom haunted by victims' families still seeking answers. Then, in Part Two, the focus shifts to Lori's stunning self-representation — and her surreal decision to stand as both defendant and defense counsel. Lori's opening statement cast herself as misunderstood and unfairly vilified, arguing that her brother acted in self-defense during Charles's death. But Tony and Stacy reveal how Lori's calm, confident demeanor may mask deep narcissism and delusion — a belief that she alone can rewrite the narrative of her crimes. As Tony and Stacy unpack the legal and psychological implications of Lori's “sovereign” defense, listeners gain rare insight into a defendant whose blend of charisma and chaos continues to defy legal logic and human empathy.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we turn our focus to one of the most bizarre and psychologically chilling trials unfolding in America: Lori Vallow Daybell, the self-proclaimed prophet who's decided she's the best person to defend herself in court. Already convicted in Idaho for the murders of her two youngest children, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, and the conspiracy to murder her husband's former wife, Tammy Daybell, Lori is now facing justice in Arizona for the murder of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. But this time, there's no defense team to shield her — because Lori fired them. She's representing herself. In this special, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to unpack the chilling psychology behind Lori's decision, exploring how delusion, narcissism, and religious grandiosity collide in a courtroom setting. Lori's behavior — confident, defiant, and disturbingly serene — may seem erratic, but Scott explains how it fits a pattern of pathological self-belief common among cult leaders and high-control personalities. During her recent pretrial hearing, Lori insisted on moving forward with trial despite her own forensics expert not being ready, demanded to exclude incriminating statements from her deceased brother Alex Cox, and even tried to subpoena journalist Nate Eaton — the reporter who's covered her saga from day one. She also hinted at testifying in her own defense, setting the stage for one of the most surreal spectacles in recent legal history. But beneath the theatrics lies a darker psychology. Lori isn't just defending herself legally — she's defending her identity as a “divine messenger.” Scott breaks down how shared psychosis (folie à deux) between Lori and her husband Chad Daybell fueled a belief system that justified murder under the guise of prophecy. Together, they turned apocalypse fantasies into fatal decisions. As jury selection looms and Arizona prosecutors prepare to argue their case, Tony and Shavaun explore whether Lori's self-representation is a strategy, a symptom, or both — and how her religious delusions continue to warp her sense of accountability.

In most families, the holidays are driven by loving, caring mothers who can't wait to get everybody under the same roof. But what happens when the “mom” at the center of the story is accused — or convicted — of destroying her own family? In this Profiling Evil episode, we look at how high-profile women like Ruby Franke, Jodi Hildebrandt, Kouri Richins, and Lori Vallow Daybell will likely spend their holidays behind bars. Richins' charges are still allegations. What are the holidays actually like in prisons and jails. We'll even chat about the difference from conditions in historic Utah jails from the 1800s and how they compared the modern world of inmate tablets, education programs, and even conjugal-visits. Is spending Christmas in prison the worst thing that can happen to you…or is it living with the knowledge that you murdered or brutalized your own children?#ProfilingEvil #MappingEvil #RubyFranke #JodiHildebrandt #KouriRichins #KoriRichins #EricRichins #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriDaybell #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #TammyDaybell #truecrime #prisonlife #holidayinprison #ChristmasInPrison #UtahJails #JuabCountyJail #StGeorgeJail #FillmoreJail #UtahTerritorialJail #womeninprison #childabuse #childmurder #influencercrime #doomsdaymom #corrections #incarceration #victims #criminalbehavior #riskreduction #LasVegasConference #Newspapers=======================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================20% Discount off of Newspapers.com https://Newspapers.com/ProfilingEvil========================================LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SUPPORT PROFILING EVIL?

Nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard disappeared from Vandenberg Village where she lived in Lompoc, California. The case has left investigators and family searching for answers and this episode reconstructs the official timeline, down to the white Chevy Malibu rental on Oct. 7th, to a license-plate swap and a confirmed Oct. 9 sighting near the Colorado–Utah border. Let's talk about the homeschool-study process that delayed reporting and explore some mental-health and behavioral possibilities, all whiile we try to understand why California officials havent filed charges in hopes the mother will produce the missing child. Then, with eirie dejavu, let's draw a procedural parallel to the Lori Vallow Daybell case—showing how court orders to produce a child might change everything. Bottom line: If you were in Green River or Panguitch, Utah; Littlefield, Arizona; Primm, Nevada; Rancho Cucamonga, California on Oct. 9–10, 2025, check your dashcam/doorbell/CCTV for any evidence of Melodee's location. #MelodeeBuzzard #AshleeBuzzard #LoriDaybell #LoriVallow #Daybell #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #Lompoc #VandenbergVillage #SantaBarbaraCounty #SBSO #FBI #Utah #Arizona #Nevada #RanchoCucamonga #GreenRiver #Panguitch #Littlefield #Primm #MissingChild #AtRisk #Wigs #ChevyMalibu #HomeSchool #Truancy #California #Tip #TrueCrime #missingperson #missingchild #victim #predator=======================================Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolvesOrder Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

A Maricopa County judge mandated that Lori Daybell provide restitution to the family of Charles Vallow during a hearing on Friday, imposing financial repercussions in addition to her multiple life sentences.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lori Vallow Daybell is back in court — and this time, the outburst wasn't about murder charges, but money. From behind bars at the Pocatello Women's Correctional Center, Daybell was ordered to pay nearly $12,000 in restitution to Kay Woodcock.  What should've been a simple hearing quickly turned bizarre when the judge asked if she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Lori snapped back: “Is your honor aware that I am in prison? I have no access to any of those things.” Her tone, her laughter, and her sarcasm told us everything about where she's at mentally — trapped in a shrinking world where the system now dictates her every move. Let's look at what really happened inside that courtroom, the psychology behind Lori's defiance, and how narcissists react when their control finally collapses. Was this about a nearly $12,000 restitution order? What did her laughter and sarcasm reveal about her loss of control and what's the growing financial weight of her legal downfall, now exceeding $500,000#ProfilingEvil #LoriVallowDaybell #DoomsdayMom #TrueCrime #MikeKing #MappingEvil #CourtroomBehavior #CriminalPsychology #Narcissism #ControlAndPower #KayWoodcock #CharlesVallow #TyleeRyan #JJVallow #TammyDaybell #RestitutionHearing #ArizonaCourt #JusticeForJJandTylee #TrueCrimeCommunity #CrimeAnalysis #BehavioralScience #PsychologyOfCrime #BehindTheHeadlines #EvilExposed #ProfilingEvilFamily=======================================Gardens of Evil: https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolvesOrder Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

Colby Ryan has carried a burden most of us can't imagine. He lost his siblings, Tylee and JJ, to murder, and watched the justice system hold his mother, Lori Vallow Daybell, and her new husband, Chad Daybell, accountable. His stepfather, Charles Vallow, was also murdered, and the ripple of violence extended into the life of Brandon Boudreaux. In this powerful conversation, Colby opens up about Chad Daybell's letters from Death Row, Lori's manipulative rhetoric, and the dangerous leadership patterns of “doomsday” belief systems. We also explore the deep cost of family enmeshment in cult-like dynamics and the ways storytelling is being used to rebrand convicted killers as martyrs.#ChadDaybell #LoriDaybell #ColbyRyan #TyleeRyan #JJVallow #TammyDaybell #CharlesVallow #BrandonBoudreaux #DaybellCase #Rexburg #ChandlerAZ #TrueCrime #Cults #Justice=======================================20% Off on www.Newspapers.com/profilingevil Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolvesOrder Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

Updates on Chad Daybell and his jailhouse letters, and the sentencing of Brooks Houck, the convicted killer of Kentucky mom Crystal Rogers.

INSANITY Plea: Amish Mom Who Drowned Son Says It Was “God's Will” — Courtroom Bombshells After shocking police with her “in a fish” bodycam confession, Ruth Miller now faces the courts. Charged with drowning her 4-year-old son after her husband walked to his death in Atwood Lake, Miller's attorneys have entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. But will the court believe she didn't know right from wrong — or will religious extremism be viewed as no excuse for murder? In this Hidden Killers Live breakdown, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels take apart the defense's strategy and what it means for justice. Attorneys argue Miller's actions were driven by a severe mental illness, pointing to bodycam footage as proof she was experiencing delusion in real time. Prosecutors, meanwhile, will push the question of whether this was truly psychosis — or simply religious belief taken too far. The panel compares Ruth Miller's case to infamous “doomsday mom” Lori Vallow Daybell, asking: does growing up in an isolated Amish community change the way we view accountability? If a person is indoctrinated from birth, do they see murder as sacrifice instead of crime? And how much leeway should the law give when faith collides with reality? This segment also pulls back the curtain on Amish culture itself — a world often hidden from outsiders, where abuse and mental health issues can go unchecked for years. The hosts debate whether this tragedy was the result of one woman's breakdown or the natural outcome of a system that discourages outside intervention. The show ends on a surreal but fitting note — with dark humor, broken fish props, and a Billy Bass tangent that underscores the absurdity of finding levity in the darkest stories. #RuthMiller #Amish #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #AtwoodLake #InsanityDefense #LoriVallow #OhioCrime #ReligiousExtremism #FaithAndCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lori Vallow Daybell did not receive the death penalty due to a combination of factors primarily related to the management and timing of evidence disclosures by the prosecution. The defense argued that the prosecution's late submission of thousands of documents and pieces of evidence impeded their ability to adequately prepare for trial. Judge Steven Boyce ruled to remove the death penalty to ensure that Vallow Daybell's constitutional rights were protected, allowing her defense team sufficient time to review the evidence. The judge emphasized that his decision was not to penalize the state but to avoid potential reversible errors that could arise from discovery issues if a death sentence were imposed​.  The implications of this decision might influence Bryan Kohberger's case, as his defense team could leverage similar arguments regarding evidence handling and procedural fairness. Kohberger, charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students, is facing the death penalty. His defense has been actively challenging the prosecution on various procedural grounds, including the handling and disclosure of DNA evidence and other investigative materials​.In this episode, we dive in and take a look at the possibility of Bryan Kohberger avoiding the death penalty due to prosecutorial misconduct.(commercial at 9:31)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho suspect Bryan Kohberger's team could use same tactic as cult mom Lori Vallow to avoid death penalty if convicted | The US Sun (the-sun.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Big Breakdown – Into The Disturbed Mind Of Lori Vallow Daybell Lori Vallow Daybell is serving multiple life sentences, but the story doesn't stop at the verdict. Known as the "Doomsday Mom," Lori's descent into delusion and destruction paints one of the darkest portraits in modern true crime. From her belief that her children were possessed zombies, to claiming she was chosen by God to carry out a divine mission, Lori's disturbing psychology unfolded in real time—through cult-inspired relationships, chilling murders, and a courtroom performance that left the nation stunned. In this episode, we pull back the layers on Lori's belief system, exploring how her obsession with end-times prophecy, spiritual rankings, and religious narcissism led to the deaths of her children, JJ and Tylee, her fourth husband Charles Vallow, and Tammy Daybell. We'll also examine her manipulation of Chad Daybell, her courtroom statements, and the way she used faith as a weapon. With exclusive analysis and timeline breakdowns, we dive into what made Lori Vallow Daybell so dangerous, how she justified unthinkable violence, and why the justice system had no choice but to lock her away for life. Her mind may be disturbed, but her legacy is chillingly clear. #LoriVallow #DoomsdayMom #LoriVallowDaybell #ChadDaybell #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #CharlesVallow #TrueCrimePodcast #CultKillers #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On this episode of After Reality, I cover everything from pop culture headlines to personal moments from my week. I get into the news about Andy Byron possibly suing Coldplay over a viral video, and I share my honest thoughts on the current season of Bachelor in Paradise—let's just say, I have some strong opinions about the direction it's headed and which contestants are standing out (for better or worse).I also reflect on the heartbreaking loss of some true legends this week: Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Their impact on music, entertainment, and culture won't be forgotten.Plus, I give some updates on true crime cases, including Lori Vallow Daybell and Brian Kohberger. And on the personal side, I share a few family stories—like my daughter cutting her own hair, my son's dentist visit—and wrap things up with TV recommendations. Thanks for stopping by!

Brandon Boudreaux Forgives, Larry Woodcock Rages & Lori Vallow Daybell Denies Everything In this powerful episode, we break down the emotional gut-punch of the final victim impact statements delivered during Lori Vallow Daybell's Arizona sentencing. These weren't just routine courtroom formalities — they were raw, unfiltered moments of grief, fury, and shocking clarity from the very people whose lives Lori tried to erase. We begin with Larry Woodcock, grandfather of JJ Vallow, whose heartbreak and rage lit up the courtroom. His words weren't polished or rehearsed — they were the cry of a man who's lived every day haunted by the loss of a little boy he loved. Larry didn't hold back, calling Lori a “parasite,” a “murderess,” and demanding she face every ounce of accountability the law could throw at her. He didn't speak about pain — he made you feel it. Then we turn to Brandon Boudreaux, survivor of an attempted assassination linked to Lori and her brother Alex Cox. Brandon's statement was chilling in its composure. He described the fear of being hunted, the isolation of hiding with his kids, and the devastating fallout from being targeted by people he once considered family. And then, in a move that stunned the courtroom — he forgave her. Not for her, but for himself, his kids, his future. It was a moment of defiant healing in the shadow of horror. And finally — Lori Vallow herself. Representing herself in court, she addressed her victims and the court with a bizarre, rambling monologue. Denying guilt, painting herself as a misunderstood mother, invoking spiritual justifications, and offering not remorse — but martyrdom. Her words were not closure. They were a final attempt to control the story. This episode is a front-row seat to one of the most emotionally intense courtroom moments in recent true crime history.

The FINAL Sentencing Of Lori Vallow Daybell & Her Latest Crazy Message In Court On July 25, 2025, the saga of Lori Vallow Daybell finally reached its explosive conclusion in an Arizona courtroom. Already serving multiple life sentences in Idaho for the murders of her children, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, and her romantic rival, Tammy Daybell, Lori received two additional life sentences for conspiring to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. But it wasn't just the sentencing that stunned the courtroom — it was Lori herself. In a courtroom performance that defied belief, Lori Vallow chose to represent herself. She delivered a rambling, self-absorbed monologue in which she painted herself as the victim, complained about the food in jail, and insisted that what happened wasn't a crime but a “family tragedy.” She even stated she would apologize only “if she was accountable,” still denying any wrongdoing. The judge didn't hold back, calling out her “blatant disregard for humanity” and making it crystal clear she would never again walk free. This episode breaks down the final chapter of one of the most bizarre and disturbing criminal cases in recent memory. We'll analyze Lori's bizarre courtroom behavior, her choice to forgo legal representation, and the judge's scathing response. Plus, we'll explore the broader legal and psychological implications of a defendant who blends delusion with performance. Lori Vallow wanted the final word. She got it — and it was as chaotic and unsettling as her entire criminal trail. #LoriVallow #LoriVallowDaybell #DoomsdayMom #FinalSentencing #CourtroomDrama #TrueCrimePodcast #TrueCrimeCommunity #SelfRepresentation #ArizonaTrial #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when a woman accused of murder—already convicted of killing her children, conspiring to kill her husband's wife, and murdering her former spouse—decides to act as her own attorney in a courtroom? In this gripping investigation, we break down why Lori Vallow Daybell's decision to represent herself in her Arizona trial wasn't just ill-advised—it was a disaster. From her bizarre objections to courtroom outbursts steeped in religious delusion, Lori turned her trial into a sideshow, all while costing Arizona taxpayers upwards of $100,000 in housing alone. But the real price? Delayed justice, retraumatized families, and the erosion of courtroom integrity. Using Abraham Lincoln's timeless quote—“He who represents himself has a fool for a client”—we unpack the sobering realities of pro se defense in serious criminal cases. Why did the court allow it? Should there be limits when the stakes involve life, death, and public safety? Join us as we explore the legal failures, financial burdens, and emotional toll of Lori Daybell's self-representation. We'll also discuss potential reforms to prevent future courtroom catastrophes and preserve justice for victims like JJ Vallow, Tylee Ryan, Charles Vallow, and Tammy Daybell. #loridaybell #chaddaybell #jjvallow #tyleeryan #charlesvallow #tammdaybell #brandonboudreaux #alexcox #melanieboudreaux #zulemahpastenes #cultmom #doomsdaycult #doomsdaymom #latterdaysaints #prosecosts #proselaw #prosetrials #selfrepresentation #profilingevil #truecrime #daybelltrial #ldscult #justicematters #courtroomchaos #highprofiletrial #cultpsychology #murdertrial #tragedy #deathpenaltycase #mentalcompetency #familyannihilator=======================================Order Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.
