Number 1: It Was A Zombie That I Killed
Send us a text What happens when your friends start talking about demons, portals, and zombies? On October 2, 2020, key insider Zulema Pastenes sat down with police and described the chilling, bizarre reality of her life inside Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell's inner circle. In this special dramatized episode, Afterglow takes you inside the interrogation room to hear Zulema's own story. Listen as she details the "web of lies and deceit" woven by the "master manipulators," the doctrine of "multiple creations" that placed them above the law, and the terrifying belief that Charles Vallow was no longer human, but a zombie named "Hiplos." This is the firsthand account of how a group of seemingly normal people were convinced that murder was a divine mission, culminating in the shocking justification from killer Alex Cox: "It was a zombie that I killed." AI voices are the actors in the dramatization. Support the show Subscribe to Afterglow for new episodes every Monday! Leave a review on Apple Podcasts! © [2025] [Kathryn Brooks]. All rights reserved.

Send us a text Delve into the complexities of Melanie Gibb in this episode of Afterglow: Unveiling the Idaho Cult, Season 4, Episode 2: The Many Faces of Melanie Gibb. We analyze the pivotal police interview conducted at the Chandler Police Station, where Gibb discusses her knowledge of Charles Vallow's death. As a close friend of Lori Vallow Daybell and an active member of the "Preparing a People" movement, Gibb's testimony is crucial. Yet, inconsistencies and her insistence that she never truly believed the teachings of Chad Daybell raise questions. This episode dissects the interview, highlighting the moments that cast doubt on her claims. Was she a naive follower, or did she play a more significant role in the events surrounding the deaths of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan? We explore her relationship with David Warwick, her deep involvement in the fringe religious group, and the now-infamous recorded phone call between her, Lori, and Chad. Discover the many faces of Melanie Gibb and decide for yourself what to believe.
