In this gripping episode of "Afterglow: The Unveiling of the Idaho Cult," we delve into the heart-wrenching aftermath of unwavering loyalty shattered by a chilling betrayal. The tragic deaths of Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow at the hands of their own mother, Lori Vallow, and stepfather, Chad Daybell, continue to unravel a haunting narrative of belief and deceit.

Listeners will journey through the stark contrast between steadfast support and the jolting revelation that led family and friends to retract their trust. Witness the unraveling of statements once staunchly defending Lori and Chad, only to crumble in the wake of the heartbreaking discovery of the children's bodies.

The episode features a poignant prison call between Lori and her son, Colby, where Colby grapples with the unfathomable, seeking answers to the incomprehensible question: WHY? The chilling conversation unveils the unbridgeable gap between understanding and disbelief, leaving haunting echoes in its wake.

Stick around for Season 3 Episode 3 Where you can join us as we unearth pivotal insights from the police interview with Lori's confidante, Melanie Gibb, recorded in August 2020. Through this exploration, we aim to navigate the intricate web of this tragic saga, seeking understanding amidst the shadows of an inexplicable tragedy.

Get ready for a riveting journey into the mysterious world of Lori Vallow Daybell.  We're starting off with an exclusive interview with Nancy Jo, the woman who went on a date with Lori's estranged husband, Charles Vallow  on the eve of his untimely death. Nancy Jo recounts Charles's revelations about Lori's peculiar beliefs, including her fascination with angels and portals—a chilling insight into the mind of a woman wrapped up in a murder mystery.

As we move forward, we sift through a multitude of rumors, questions, and reactions from those around Lori. We'll be examining a heartfelt post by Melanie Boudreaux, a woman who faced personal struggles and accusations, yet chooses faith, love, and forgiveness. However, seems to have been fully immersed in the cult, their beliefs and might have even sacrificed her own children.  Finally, we deep dive into an email exchange between Lori and Kay Woodcock, Charles's sister, that uncovers even more chilling details. Sit tight as we navigate through the eerie happenings and uncanny revelations of the Lori Vallow DeVal saga.

Join me, Kathy Brooks, on a chilling journey as we explore the lives, lies, and devious crimes of Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell in this riveting episode of Afterglow. Lori Vallow's friendship with Serena Sharp and the other women in her "casting out circle" are at the forefront of the investigation into the missing children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan.  Detective Moffett was able to put information together to help solve this investigation. He was on a mission to find Lori Vallow's children, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow. For over 3 years now I have found myself drawn into the bizarre world of Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell and their Idaho Cult associates. 

Hear about Lori and Chad, as well as the strange beliefs they held that strayed from the traditional LDS church doctrine. Delve into the complexities of their legal case, the upcoming preliminary hearing, and the involvement of multiple jurisdictions. Uncover the truth behind the prayer groups and connections central to this dark and tangled web of deceit.

As a one-woman operation, your support and patience are invaluable to me in navigating the challenges of producing this podcast. Your continued engagement and donations make the tireless work behind the scenes worthwhile. So, thank you for joining me on this enthralling journey, and stay tuned for more updates on the chilling story of Lori Vallow, Chad Daybelll, and the Idaho Cult. Stay safe, and keep listening.

Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell fell into a deep and distorted love affair. This was a dangerous and horrible event that led to the demise of Lori's husband Charles Vallow, Chad's wife Tammy Douglas Daybell, and Lori's children Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow.  As we continue to move forward in the timeline of the missing children, we have learned so much about the evil belief system that has convinced Lori Vallow Daybell that her children were evil and needed to be murdered. Chad Daybell came up with a rating system and he sure did convince Lori that she was his Goddess. We explore the timeline leading up to Chad's "book" Loin Fire.  Chad was still married to Tammy when he shared "Loin Fire" with Lori. But, Alex Cox had murdered Lori's husband Charles Vallow 2 days before he shared this with Lori. It might seem fiction based on the characters of James and Elana, but .... if you know the timeline, the people involved, and the evil beliefs they are following you will realize this is actually the true story of Lori (Elana) and Chad (James.) Thanks for listening.  This episode has some adult content that may be inappropriate for children.
