S2 E9: Lori Vallow

Written By Rose Stein

This week Rose tells us the absolutely insane story of Lori Vallow. Lori's extreme religious beliefs began during her childhood in the LDS church. From her parents' interviews in the Netflix documentary "Sins of Our Mother," we glimpse the influence of faith on her life. Her dad's fervent religious devotion often bordered on the extreme, driving Lori to see him as a "spiritual giant."

As she grew, Lori married multiple times and had children along the way. Her tumultuous relationships and a tragic history of alleged abuse marked her path. Her son, Colby, bravely came forward about his traumatic experiences, recounting disturbing accounts of abuse within the family.

The story took a dark turn when Lori met Chad Daybell, a man with questionable motives and grandiose beliefs. Their union resulted in a series of shocking events, including the disappearance of Lori's children, Tylee and JJ.

The details of this complex case are deeply disturbing, and it's a stark reminder of how vulnerable individuals can be drawn into manipulative influences. The legal proceedings are ongoing, but we hope justice will be served for Tylee, JJ, and the other victims in this tragic tale.
