In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta, host of the "Defense Diaries" podcast, discusses the mysterious death of Alex Cox in relation to the ongoing trial of Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow. Motta speculates whether Cox's death was a murder or a suicide, considering the bizarre belief system of the group, which may have viewed Cox's death as a way to exert control from the "other side." He examines the cult-like mind control tactics used by Chad and Lori, especially in motivating Cox to believe he was fulfilling a divine mission. The conversation delves into a morbid blessing Chad gave Alex, suggesting he had earned his place in the afterlife. Motta also questions the naturalness of Joe Ryan’s death, Lori’s third husband, indicating a pattern of suspicious deaths around Lori. He portrays Lori as deeply engrossed in their delusions, viewing anyone impeding her divine path as disposable. The discussion also includes analysis of jailhouse calls revealing Chad's continued manipulation and Lori's anxiety about their plans' execution. Motta concludes that Chad and Lori were equally culpable, with Chad using his influence to maintain Lori's loyalty and Lori manipulating Chad to achieve her goals.
