And she still believes she was right.This is Part 5 of "The Chosen Ones," our final episode examining the psychology of spiritual abuse and religious trauma through the Vallow-Daybell case.

The answer isn't that you're stupid. The answer is that you're human. Someone exploited your best impulses — your desire for meaning, belonging, purpose.Religious Trauma Syndrome is real.

Lori Vallow still believes she's chosen.In a 2025 Dateline interview, she maintained her innocence. She claimed Jesus showed her she'd be exonerated. She showed no remorse.Meanwhile, her surviving son Colby is trying to figure out how to live in the aftermath of something that can never be fixed.This is Part 5 of "The Chosen Ones," Hidden Killers' final episode examining the psychology of spiritual abuse and religious trauma through the Vallow-Daybell case. Today we focus on the survivors — and on everyone who has ever walked out of a high control religion and had to rebuild from nothing.This episode is for you if you've ever asked: How did I believe this?The answer isn't stupidity. The answer is that you're human. Belief systems that promise meaning, identity, and belonging are designed to be compelling. They target seekers. They target the faithful. They catch good people.The shame you carry was put there by the system. You can put it down.Sometimes the person who hurt you never wakes up. Sometimes the apology never comes. You have to heal anyway.The apocalypse Chad Daybell predicted never came. But you're still here. And being here matters.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Charles Vallow tried to get help. He reached out to Lori's family. He documented her threats. He told police he was afraid.Nobody intervened. Five months later, he was dead.This is Part 4 of "The Chosen Ones," our psychological examination of spiritual abuse and religious trauma through the Vallow-Daybell case. Today we analyze why people watch abuse unfold in high control religion and don't act — the psychology of complicity, loyalty, and the conviction that faithful people don't do terrible things.Melanie Gibb was Lori's best friend. She was the last person to see JJ alive. She heard Chad Daybell's zombie doctrine, participated in castings, knew the children were missing — and accepted explanations until police called.Alex Cox was Lori's brother. According to prosecutors, he killed Charles, killed Tylee, killed JJ, and was involved in Tammy's death — all because he believed Chad Daybell's doctrine that they were zombies who had to be destroyed.Chad Daybell's children testified at his murder trial. They defended him.Everyone around Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow saw something. Most saw too late. Some never saw at all.This episode asks: When someone you love becomes dangerous, what do you do? And if you stay silent, are you protecting them — or complicit?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Melanie Gibb was the last person outside the family to see JJ Vallow alive.She was Lori's best friend. She heard Chad Daybell's zombie talk. She knew the children were missing. And when Lori asked her to lie to police, she finally understood: she'd been used as an alibi for murder.This is Part 4 of "The Chosen Ones," Hidden Killers' examination of spiritual abuse and religious trauma through the Vallow-Daybell case. Today we focus on the believers — the people around Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow who watched the transformation and didn't intervene.Alex Cox killed his sister's husband and her children because he believed Chad Daybell's doctrine about zombies. He told his wife to shoot him in the face if he ever became one too.Zulema Pastenes participated in castings and married Alex two weeks before he died.Chad Daybell's adult children testified at his trial — for the defense.Charles Vallow reached out to Lori's family for help and got nothing.This episode asks the hardest question about high control religion: When someone you love becomes dangerous, what's your responsibility? If you stay silent out of loyalty, are you protecting them — or protecting the story you want to believe about them?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What has to happen inside a mother's mind for her to look at her own child and see a demon?Tylee Ryan's last photo was taken at Yellowstone on September 8, 2019. She was dead within twenty-four hours, according to investigators. Her remains were found burned and dismembered in Chad Daybell's backyard.Her mother's explanation to friends? Tylee had "gone dark." She was a "zombie."This is Part 3 of "The Chosen Ones," our psychological examination of spiritual abuse and religious trauma through the Vallow-Daybell case. Today we analyze how spiritual language becomes a weapon — and the systematic process by which people are stripped of their humanity in high control religion.According to testimony, Chad Daybell taught that demons could possess people and turn them into "zombies." Once someone was labeled, they were no longer protected by normal moral rules. You weren't killing a person. You were destroying a shell.Charles Vallow was renamed "Ned" and killed. Tylee was declared "dark" and killed. JJ — seven years old, autistic — became a "zombie" and was killed.This episode examines the mechanics of dehumanization — a pattern found in toxic churches and high control religions worldwide.Have you ever been labeled and cast out? The vocabulary changes, but the structure is always the same.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The last photograph of Tylee Ryan was taken at Yellowstone. September 8, 2019. She's sixteen. She's smiling.Within a day, investigators believe she was dead. Her remains were found nine months later — burned and dismembered in Chad Daybell's backyard.Her mother's explanation, according to friends who testified? Tylee had "gone dark."This is Part 3 of "The Chosen Ones," Hidden Killers' 5-part psychological examination of spiritual abuse and religious trauma through the Vallow-Daybell case. Today we examine the moment a child becomes "other" in a parent's mind — and the spiritual language that made it possible.According to testimony, Chad Daybell's labeling started with Charles Vallow. Chad Daybell told Lori her husband was possessed by a demon named "Ned." She stopped using his name. Seven days after he was killed, she texted about the life insurance: "Ned probably changed it before we got rid of him."Then came the children. Tylee questioned her mother's beliefs — and was declared "dark." JJ needed more care than Lori wanted to give — and became a "zombie."Both buried in Chad Daybell's backyard. Both killed by people who believed they weren't really killing children — just destroying the demons that had taken them over.This is how dehumanization works in high control religion. You create a category. You assign people to it. And then the rules that protect humans don't apply anymore.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before the death sentence. Before the backyard graves. Before the "zombie" doctrine.Chad Daybell was a gravedigger in Idaho who claimed the dead spoke to him.This is Part 2 of "The Chosen Ones," our psychological examination of spiritual abuse and religious trauma through the Vallow-Daybell case. Today we analyze Chad Daybell — not just what he did, but how he built the authority to make others believe he spoke for God.Chad Daybell couldn't find significance through normal channels. He wasn't a prophet in the mainstream LDS church. So he built a space where he could be one — through self-published apocalyptic novels, fringe conferences, and online communities like AVOW.He charged for books, charged for speaking appearances, charged for "readings" where he'd tell followers their light ratings and past lives. The more people paid for access to his "visions," the more power he accumulated.Then the beliefs became operational.According to testimony, Chad Daybell taught that some people had been possessed by demons — that they were "zombies" who could only be destroyed, not saved. He kept spreadsheets rating people as light or dark. Everyone rated dark ended up dead.If you've experienced religious narcissism or spiritual abuse from a charismatic leader — you'll recognize how this authority gets built.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Chad Daybell kept spreadsheets.Not business records. Not finances. Lists of people — family, friends, his own children — each assigned a "light and dark rating" on a scale he invented.Everyone who dropped below a certain number was declared a "zombie." Everyone declared a zombie ended up dead.This is Part 2 of "The Chosen Ones," Hidden Killers' 5-part psychological examination of spiritual abuse and religious trauma through the Vallow-Daybell case. Today we focus on Chad Daybell: the gravedigger who claimed to see visions, the author who said his fiction was prophecy, the man who built a high control religion that justified murder.We examine the psychology of the charismatic leader — specifically, the type who isn't obviously charismatic. Chad Daybell wasn't magnetic. He was available. He found a community hungry for visions and end-times urgency, and he filled that void.According to testimony, Chad Daybell taught that demons could enter bodies after death. That some people had been "taken over" and were no longer themselves. That killing these "zombies" wasn't murder — it was mercy.Tammy Daybell. Charles Vallow. Tylee Ryan. JJ Vallow. All rated "dark." All dead.If you've experienced religious narcissism from a spiritual authority — or watched someone you love fall under that influence — you'll recognize these patterns.Chad Daybell was convicted and sentenced to death in 2024.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before the murders. Before the backyard graves. Before the "zombie" labels and the doomsday beliefs — there was a conference room in Utah and a man who told Lori Vallow she was chosen.This is Part 1 of "The Chosen Ones," a 5-part Hidden Killers series examining the psychology of spiritual abuse through the Vallow-Daybell case. We're not recapping the crime. We're dissecting the religious manipulation that made it possible.If you've ever experienced religious trauma, you know how this starts. The warmth of being "seen." The intoxication of being chosen. The slow process of believing you're exempt from the rules that govern everyone else.Chad Daybell told Lori they were married in a past life. He told her she was exalted. He told her that her husband Charles had been taken over by a demon.Within months, Charles was dead. Within a year, so were Tylee and JJ.This episode breaks down spiritual love bombing — the first stage of coercive control in high control religions. It's the same pattern used in toxic churches, manipulative faith communities, and cults worldwide. Understanding how it works is the first step in healing from religious trauma.For anyone in a faith crisis. Anyone questioning a toxic church. Anyone who has watched a loved one transform under spiritual influence.The devout aren't vulnerable because they're foolish. They're vulnerable because they've already decided to believe. All a predator has to do is redirect that belief.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How do you recognize spiritual abuse before it's too late?It starts with feeling chosen. Someone tells you that you're special — that they can see your divine purpose, that you were set apart before birth, that the rules don't apply to someone at your level.That's how it started for Lori Vallow. A religious conference. A man named Chad Daybell. A claim that they'd been married in a past life.Within a year, her husband was dead. Within fourteen months, her children were buried in Chad Daybell's backyard.This is Part 1 of "The Chosen Ones" — a 5-part psychological deep dive into spiritual abuse, religious trauma, and high control religion through the lens of the Vallow-Daybell case.This episode examines: → How spiritual love bombing creates dependency → Why seekers and the devout are most vulnerable to religious manipulation → The fringe LDS conference circuit where Chad Daybell built his following → How "you're special" becomes "the rules don't apply to you" → Warning signs of coercive control in religious settingsIf you're experiencing a faith crisis, questioning a toxic church, or in the middle of deconstruction — you'll recognize these patterns. The tactics are the same across high control religions. Only the vocabulary changes.The first step in spiritual manipulation is making you feel chosen. The second step is making you feel exempt. Understanding these mechanics is the first step toward healing from religious trauma.CHAPTERS: 0:00 - The Conference Room [Additional chapters TBD]RESOURCES FOR SURVIVORS: Religious Trauma Institute Recovering from Religion Tears of Eden (spiritual abuse support) Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/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.

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

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.

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?

Five DISTURBING Moments from Lori Vallow's Arizona Trial Day 2 Day two of Lori Vallow Daybell's Arizona murder conspiracy trial delivered unprecedented courtroom drama as the convicted "Doomsday Mom" attempted to cross-examine the man she allegedly tried to have killed. Brandon Boudreaux, her former nephew-in-law, took the stand to face direct questioning from Vallow Daybell herself in what legal experts are calling one of the most disturbing courtroom confrontations in recent memory. The trial centers around allegations that Vallow Daybell and her deceased brother Alex Cox conspired to murder Boudreaux in October 2019, part of what prosecutors describe as a systematic campaign to eliminate perceived obstacles to their religious beliefs. Ring doorbell footage from the day of the alleged shooting provided chilling audio evidence of gunfire, while Boudreaux's testimony revealed explosive family secrets, including claims that Lori convinced his estranged wife Melanie that he was gay. The most shocking moment came when Vallow Daybell admitted she couldn't continue her cross-examination because her private investigator wasn't answering his phone and had all her evidence. Judge Justin Beresky's visible frustration highlighted the unprecedented nature of a murder defendant representing herself in such a complex conspiracy case. This trial follows Vallow Daybell's previous conviction for murdering her two children, JJ and Tylee, along with Chad Daybell's first wife Tammy. Legal analysts warn that her amateur defense strategy could result in another conviction, as she struggles with basic courtroom procedures and evidence rules. The case continues to captivate true crime audiences with its combination of religious extremism, family manipulation, and multiple deaths spanning several states. #LoriVallowDaybell #TrueCrime #DoomsdayMom #BrandonBoudreaux #MurderTrial #CourtTV #Arizona #SelfRepresentation #RingDoorbell #CultMurder 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

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

Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to unravel Lori's courtroom curveball, dig into what the prosecution didn't quite prove, and question whether her silence was strategy or surrender. Between coded religious lingo, the ghost of Charles Vallow, and the judge playing a game of legal training wheels, this episode peels back the chaos behind the calm.

Vallow Daybell stands accused of conspiring with her brother to murder Charles Vallow. She has entered a not guilty plea and is representing herself throughout the proceedings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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)

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

​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 was found guilty on May 12, 2023, of all charges, including the murders of her two children, Joshua "JJ" Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and conspiracy to commit murder in the death of Chad Daybell's former wife, Tammy Daybell. 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. As of March 2025, her trial in Arizona is scheduled to commence on March 31, 2025, where she faces these serious conspiracy charges.​In October 2019, Brandon Boudreaux, the ex-husband of Melani Pawlowski (née Boudreaux), who is Lori Vallow Daybell's niece, was targeted in a drive-by shooting outside his home in Gilbert, Arizona. 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. During her initial court appearance, she pleaded not guilty to the conspiracy charges related to both Charles Vallow's death and the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux. As of March 2025, her trial for the Charles Vallow case is scheduled to begin on March 31, 2025, with the trial concerning the Boudreaux case to follow.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Amy Phillips, host of Drama Darlings podcast, joins Kate to discuss Keith Morrison's exclusive interview with Lori Vallow Daybell on the Dateline episode “Lori Vallow Daybell: The Jailhouse Interview”.

Lori Vallow Speaks Out What Her Dateline Interview Reveals About Her Defense What happens when someone convicted of murder still thinks they're going to walk free? Well, if you're Lori Vallow-Daybell, you go on Dateline and tell Keith Morrison that Jesus showed you a future where you're not in prison. Yep, that's exactly what she did in a shocking jailhouse interview, where she doubled down on her innocence, dismissed reality, and claimed divine visions of her exoneration—despite the whole "mountains of evidence and a life sentence" situation. Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to break down this bizarre interview, the legal circus that is Vallow-Daybell representing herself, and whether her courtroom antics could actually play into the prosecution's hands. Could her behavior be an unofficial insanity defense, even in a state that doesn't recognize it? Will the judge have the patience of a saint or cut her off when the "metaphysical arguments" start flying? And let's be real—can the prosecution just sit back and let her dig her own grave? One thing's for sure: this trial is going to be a spectacle. But is there any legal strategy here, or is it just another chapter in Lori Vallow-Daybell's delusional saga? #LoriVallow #TrueCrime #Dateline #CourtroomDrama #LegalAnalysis #HiddenKillers #CrimePodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to break down this bizarre interview, the legal circus that is Vallow-Daybell representing herself, and whether her courtroom antics could actually play into the prosecution's hands. Could her behavior be an unofficial insanity defense, even in a state that doesn't recognize it? Will the judge have the patience of a saint or cut her off when the "metaphysical arguments" start flying? And let's be real—can the prosecution just sit back and let her dig her own grave? One thing's for sure: this trial is going to be a spectacle. But is there any legal strategy here, or is it just another chapter in Lori Vallow-Daybell's delusional saga? #LoriVallow #TrueCrime #Dateline #CourtroomDrama #LegalAnalysis #HiddenKillers #CrimePodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Judge Denies Lori Vallow Daybell's Motion to Dismiss as Arizona Trial Moves Forward Lori Vallow Daybell, already convicted and serving a life sentence in Idaho for the murders of her children and conspiring in the death of Tammy Daybell, has been found competent to stand trial in Arizona. She faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder in the death of her former husband, Charles Vallow, and the attempted murder of her ex-nephew-in-law, Brandon Boudreaux. An Arizona judge recently denied her motion to dismiss the case, rejecting her claim that her right to a speedy trial had been violated. The judge ruled that each delay was "indispensable" to the interests of justice, citing the overwhelming volume of evidence, the withdrawal of her original defense team, and competency evaluations as necessary factors that contributed to the trial's postponements. The trial for Charles Vallow's murder is now set to begin on February 24, 2025. The attempted murder trial for Boudreaux is expected to follow, provided that Vallow Daybell is prepared for consecutive proceedings. In an unusual legal move, Vallow Daybell has been granted permission to represent herself in Arizona, a decision that could significantly impact the trial's outcome. With her history of erratic courtroom behavior and refusal to acknowledge wrongdoing, legal experts question how effectively she will be able to defend herself against the serious charges. Vallow Daybell's legal troubles began when authorities in Idaho uncovered a pattern of deaths connected to her and her husband, Chad Daybell. She was convicted in 2023 for the murders of her two children, 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and for conspiring in the death of Tammy Daybell, Chad's first wife. Prosecutors argued that she and Chad Daybell were motivated by extreme religious beliefs, labeling their victims as "zombies" who needed to be eliminated. In Arizona, prosecutors allege a similar pattern. Charles Vallow, who had become increasingly concerned about his wife's growing devotion to Chad Daybell's apocalyptic teachings, was shot and killed in July 2019. Vallow Daybell's late brother, Alex Cox, claimed self-defense at the time, but investigators later found inconsistencies in his account. Just months later, in October 2019, Brandon Boudreaux was nearly killed in a drive-by shooting outside his home. He was previously married to Vallow Daybell's niece, Melani Pawlowski, who had also become deeply involved in the same religious group. Investigators believe Cox was the shooter in that case as well, though he died under mysterious circumstances later that year. As the legal proceedings continue, the families of the victims await justice in a case that has captivated national attention for its disturbing mix of religious extremism, murder, and manipulation. #LoriVallow #TrueCrime #ArizonaTrial #JusticeForJJandTylee #CharlesVallow #DoomsdayCult #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
