However, suspicions arose when Chad quickly remarried Lori Vallow, whose children were reported missing later that year.Authorities began investigating the disappearances of JJ and Tylee, leading to the discovery of their bodies buried on Chad Daybell's property in Idaho in June 2020. Autopsies revealed that both children had been murdered, and their deaths were ruled as homicides.Chad Daybell was subsequently arrested and charged with several counts, including two felony counts of destruction, alteration, or concealment of evidence.

On April 3, 2024, the third day of Chad Daybell's jury selection in Boise, Idaho, continued with the goal of assembling a pool of 50 potential jurors before proceeding to peremptory challenges. By day's end, 37 individuals had been advanced, marking significant progress toward the required number. The day involved both group and individual questioning, focusing on potential biases, media exposure, and views on the death penalty, as it remains a possible sentence in this case. Several jurors were excused due to hardships, preconceived opinions, or discomfort with the trial's expected graphic evidence. Judge Steven Boyce emphasized the importance of impartiality and the ability to adhere strictly to legal instructions. Both the prosecution and defense teams meticulously questioned jurors to ensure they could evaluate evidence objectively, despite extensive media coverage and the trial's anticipated 8 to 10-week duration. The process underscored the challenges of seating an unbiased jury for a high-profile case involving charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy related to the deaths of Tammy Daybell, Tylee Ryan, and Joshua "JJ" Vallow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Lori Vallow Daybell DEBUT As Her Own Attorney, Defense 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?

Chad Daybell Trial Vault: The Chad Daybell Indictment

In May 2021, a grand jury indicted Chad Daybell on multiple charges, including first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of his first wife, Tammy Daybell, and two children, Tylee Ryan and Joshua "JJ" Vallow, who were the offspring of his subsequent spouse, Lori Vallow Daybell. The indictment also encompassed charges of grand theft by deception and insurance fraud, alleging that Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell orchestrated these deaths to eliminate obstacles to their relationship and to unlawfully acquire life insurance proceeds and Social Security benefits. Prosecutors contended that Daybell and Vallow Daybell espoused apocalyptic religious beliefs, which they purportedly used to rationalize the murders. The indictment detailed that the couple viewed the victims as "possessed" or as "zombies," and believed that their deaths were necessary for the salvation of their souls. Furthermore, it was alleged that Daybell increased Tammy Daybell's life insurance policy shortly before her death and subsequently collected the benefits. These actions were presented as evidence of financial motives underpinning the crimes.source:Indictment.pdf (amazonaws.com

Lori Vallow Daybell DEBUT As Her Own Attorney, Defense Opening Statements In Full

Lori Vallow Daybell DEBUT As Her Own Attorney, Defense 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?

On May 11, 2023, during Lori Vallow Daybell's trial, Judge Steven Boyce provided the jury with 39 specific instructions to guide their deliberations. He emphasized the presumption of innocence, stating that Lori was "presumed innocent unless proven guilty." The judge also clarified that the burden of proof rested entirely on the prosecution and that the jury must base their verdict solely on the evidence presented during the trial.Following the instructions, the prosecution delivered its closing arguments, reiterating the theme that the case centered around "money, power, and sex." They detailed a timeline of events, highlighting that Tylee Ryan was killed between September 8-9, 2019; J.J. Vallow between September 22-23, 2019; and Tammy Daybell on October 19, 2019. The prosecution argued that Lori manipulated her brother, Alex Cox, to commit the murders, portraying her as the common link among all three deathsIn response, Lori's defense attorney, Jim Archibald, portrayed her as a loving mother who was misled by Chad Daybell's apocalyptic beliefs. He contended that Lori was a follower, not a leader, and that there was no direct evidence linking her to the murders. Archibald emphasized that Lori's life took a drastic turn after meeting Chad in 2018, suggesting she was influenced by his control.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The jury deliberated for less than seven hours before reaching a unanimous verdict, rejecting the defense's argument that Lori was manipulated by Chad Daybell. Prosecutors presented evidence of her deep involvement in the murders, including her belief in doomsday prophecies, text messages plotting the killings, and financial motives such as collecting Social Security benefits after her children's deaths. During sentencing, Lori showed little remorse, leading the judge to impose life in prison without parole, ensuring she would never be released. The verdict closed a case that horrified the nation, exposing a chilling web of religious extremism, deception, and murder.In November 2023, Lori Vallow Daybell, previously convicted for the murders of her two children in Idaho, was extradited to Arizona to face additional charges. Upon arrival, she was booked into the Maricopa County Jail on two counts of conspiracy to commit murder: one related to the 2019 shooting death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and another concerning the attempted murder of her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. During her initial court appearance, Vallow Daybell inquired about the consolidation of her cases, indicating her active engagement in her defense.

A bullet narrowly missed his head, and the shooter fled the scene. Boudreaux identified the vehicle involved as a Jeep Wrangler registered to Charles Vallow, Lori's deceased fourth husband. Investigations revealed that Alex Cox, Lori's brother, was in the vicinity during the shooting, and cell phone data placed him near Boudreaux's residence at the time of the attack. Authorities believe Cox was the shooter and that Lori conspired with him in the attempted murder, allegedly motivated by financial gain and rooted in their extremist religious beliefsIn February 2022, a Maricopa County grand jury indicted Lori Vallow Daybell on a charge of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in connection with the attempt on Boudreaux's life. This indictment added to her existing charges, including those related to the deaths of her children, Tylee Ryan and Joshua "JJ" Vallow, and her involvement in the death of Tammy Daybell, Chad Daybell's former wife.Following her conviction in Idaho, Lori was extradited to Arizona in November 2023 to face these additional charges.

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

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

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?

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.

Lori Vallow Speaks: A Dateline Interview Like No Other

Lori Vallow Speaks: A Dateline Interview Like No Other Imagine a story where two people, driven by extreme beliefs and personal desires, commit unthinkable acts against their own families. This is the chilling tale of Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell, a couple whose actions shocked the nation. Lori Vallow was once known as a devoted mother and active member of her community. However, her life took a dark turn when she met Chad Daybell in 2018 at a religious conference in Utah. Chad, a self-published author of doomsday-themed novels, claimed to have had near-death experiences that allowed him to see into the past and future. He believed he could identify "dark" spirits or "zombies" inhabiting people's bodies, labeling them as such before they were killed. Their meeting was described by Lori as "amazing," stating, "I recognized him spiritually, and he recognized me spiritually, that we had known each other for eternities." Their connection quickly deepened, leading to an affair. At the time, both were married—Lori to Charles Vallow and Chad to Tammy Daybell. Charles, sensing something was amiss, filed for divorce and expressed concerns about Lori's mental state. He told authorities that Lori believed she was a "resurrected being" and a god, warning them of potential danger to himself and their children. In July 2019, Charles Vallow was shot and killed by Lori's brother, Alex Cox, who claimed self-defense. Cox, described by investigators as a "cold-blooded killer," was deeply devoted to his sister and allegedly willing to do anything for her and Chad. Just months later, in October 2019, Chad's wife, Tammy Daybell, was found dead in their home. Initially deemed natural causes, suspicions arose when Chad and Lori married merely weeks after Tammy's death. An exhumation and autopsy later revealed Tammy had died by asphyxiation. The most heart-wrenching aspect of this saga involves Lori's two children: 16-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow. They were last seen in September 2019. Despite family members' concerns and law enforcement's efforts, Lori remained evasive about their whereabouts. In June 2020, their remains were discovered buried on Chad Daybell's property in Idaho. Tylee had been dismembered and burned, while JJ was found in a pet cemetery. Throughout this period, Lori and Chad's beliefs became increasingly extreme. They viewed certain individuals, including their own family members, as possessed or replaced by dark spirits. This warped perspective, combined with desires for financial gain—such as life insurance payouts—and their relationship, culminated in these tragic events. In 2023, Lori Vallow was convicted of the murders of her children and conspiracy to commit murder in Tammy Daybell's death. She was sentenced to multiple life terms without the possibility of parole. Chad Daybell faced his own trial in 2024 and was convicted on all counts, receiving a death sentence. Despite the overwhelming evidence and their convictions, Lori remains unrepentant. In a recent jailhouse interview with NBC's Keith Morrison, she expressed confidence that she and Chad would be exonerated, claiming that Jesus had shown her visions of their future freedom. She even suggested that after her exoneration, she might appear on "Dancing With the Stars," inviting Morrison to join her. Morrison described the 90-minute interview as "exhausting," noting that Lori was determined to tell her own version of events, which did not align with established facts. She frequently challenged Morrison's questions, asking, "Where'd you hear that? Keith, who told you that?" This case serves as a stark reminder of how extreme beliefs, when combined with personal desires, can lead to devastating consequences. The tragic loss of innocent lives and the subsequent trials have left an indelible mark on all those involved. #DoomsdayCouple #VallowDaybellCase #TrueCrime #JusticeServed Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Lori Vallow Daybell The Interview That Changed Everything

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?
