The Trial Of Lori Vallow Daybell | Full Courtroom Coverage

Did Lori Vallow Truly Have Complete Control of Chad Daybell?


Listen Later

As the saga of Lori Vallow Daybell and Chad Daybell continues, a startling development has emerged: Chad Daybell, facing the grim prospect of a death sentence, has turned against his co-accused and former partner, Lori Vallow Daybell. In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski delved into this twist with retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke. They explored the implications of Chad's claims that Lori manipulated him through emotional and sexual control, and whether this strategy could lead to the removal of the death penalty from his case.
 
 Dreeke finds Chad's shift in strategy "really interesting," pointing out Lori's controlling nature throughout her trial. "She's a manipulator," Dreeke remarked, suggesting that Lori's domineering personality may have overshadowed Chad, who he perceives as a "soft guy" with a history of failures and uncertainties. Dreeke's analysis paints a picture of Chad as a man swept up in Lori's forceful current, leading to his involvement in the crimes they are accused of.
 
 Brueski raised a compelling question: is Chad's claim a cowardly move or a calculated strategy to save his own skin? Dreeke believes it's a mixture of both, emphasizing that although Chad is culpable, it was Lori's influence that thrust him into the limelight. He added, "She was intricately involved in her own defense because she's a control freak."
 
 Discussing the likelihood of Chad's strategy influencing the court's decision on the death penalty, Dreeke expressed skepticism. While acknowledging Chad's adult status and ability to make independent choices, he questioned whether blaming Lori would suffice to avoid capital punishment. The conversation then shifted to the broader impact of Chad's betrayal on Lori, speculating on her reaction upon learning of his accusations.
 
 Dreeke's insights into Lori's likely reaction were fascinating. He suggested that she would continue her pattern of denial and create a fictional narrative to rationalize Chad's betrayal, potentially attributing his actions to external influences like dark spirits or other delusions consistent with her beliefs.
 
 The conversation took an intriguing turn when discussing Lori's upcoming trial in Arizona for the conspiracy to murder her ex-husband. Dreeke pondered whether Lori, now aware of Chad's betrayal, would change her defensive stance. He speculated on the influence of her legal counsel and her propensity to frustrate their efforts, hinting that Lori's actions might dictate the direction of her defense.
 
 Brueski and Dreeke concluded their discussion by reflecting on the bizarre nature of the case and the challenges it poses. Dreeke described Lori as "predictable" within her behavior arc, characterized by denial and delusion. He left listeners with a thought-provoking point: dealing with cult-like beliefs, as seen in this case, often leads to predictable yet disturbing patterns.
 
 The "Hidden Killers" episode leaves us with an essential question: In the complex and twisted world of Chad and Lori Daybell, can the truth ever be untangled from the web of manipulation and delusion? And as the legal battles continue, what new revelations will come to light, further exposing the dark undercurrents of this tragic saga?
