In today’s sentencing hearing, Donna Adelson delivered a dramatic, emotional statement asserting her innocence in the 2014 murder of her former son-in-law, FSU law professor Dan Markel. Let’s break down what she said and contrast it with what the state proved at trial. Then, see how the judge responded to her performance, particularly criticizing the theatrics and lack of genuine remorse.

Chad Daybell is publishing “uncensored” letters from death row, recasting himself as a misunderstood, faithful father who loved Tammy and was framed by the media. Lori Daybell is doubling down from prison with a different kind of sermon, claiming she’s exactly where “her God” wants her to be, ministering to women behind bars. Neither convicted killer confronts the evidence, things like how they were carrying on in an affair while conspiring to murder. Tammy Daybell was dead and within weeks, Chad and Lori were in Hawaii getting married. Lori’s children, Tylee and JJ, were found buried in Chad’s backyard. Lori even tried to float an obscene story that Tylee killed JJ and then died by suicide, something contradicted by investigators and basic timelines. This review dissects their ritualized rhetoric of “light/dark,” “zombies,” and “purification”. We’ll consider the psychology that made murder thinkable, and the post-conviction word-fight they have going to control the narrative. Who was really in charge and would any of this have happened if these convicted killers hadn’t met. Why did they pursue “more light and knowledge,” and more spiritual access than the rest of us mortals are privileged to? How power, dominion, control became the fuse on their downfall.

When a man convicted of murdering his wife and his lover’s two children begins writing ghost stories from his prison cell, you’d think the world might respond with silence. But Chad Daybell , the Idaho gravedigger, self-styled prophet, and now, Death Row inmate, has found a new platform. Through a website managed by his daughter, he’s publishing “Letters from Chad,” little episodes designed to sound like spiritual memoirs, part haunting, part homily, part book plug. Letter #7 is a sprawling tale of cemetery ghosts, mischievous spirits, tingling electrical shocks, and a conveniently timed command from “Grandpa Keith” to start writing novels. At first glance, it reads like a campfire story with a Sunday School veneer. But dig deeper, and you see the true agenda: Daybell is trying to rehabilitate his image by weaving together religion, folklore, and self-promotion into one manipulative narrative. This analysis will pull apart Letter #7 not only for what it says but, more importantly, for what it does. It’s this killer’s strategy of rebranding, denial, and offense against the victims whose families must now watch their killer turn his crimes into a ghost-hunting memoir.

Colby Ryan has carried a burden most of us can’t imagine. He lost his siblings, Tylee and JJ, to murder, and watched the justice system hold his mother, Lori Vallow Daybell, and her new husband, Chad Daybell, accountable. His stepfather, Charles Vallow, was also murdered, and the ripple of violence extended into the life of Brandon Boudreaux. In this powerful conversation, Colby opens up about Chad Daybell’s letters from Death Row, Lori’s manipulative rhetoric, and the dangerous leadership patterns of “doomsday” belief systems. We also explore the deep cost of family enmeshment in cult-like dynamics and the ways storytelling is being used to rebrand convicted killers as martyrs.

Chad Daybell’s Letter #6 is all about image repair and another near death experience. He walks us from a normal newsroom job into his 2nd NDE, a dramatic near-death experience at La Jolla Cove that ultimately lands squarely in a cemetery sexton role that fits his afterlife branding like a glove. Let’s decode the storytelling tricks of how an ocean wave becomes a divine assignment… how a “grandpa appearing in robes” turns into authority, and how the cemetery isn’t just a job but a stage for spiritual visitations and claims. We’ll talk manipulation, psychology, and why these matter. Then I’ll show you how these letters are setting up what’s coming next.

Letter #5 is Chad Daybell seizing the microphone. He promises a “foundation of facts,” blames the State for twisting his beliefs, accuses his own attorney of missing cross-examination opportunities, and then pivots to four claimed near-death experiences as the key to making “2019 finally make sense.” Let’s expose the psychological choreography: externalizing blame, elevating theology to evidentiary status, laundering credibility with vivid sensory detail, and using serial “teases” to control the reveal. This isn’t contrition, it’s an engagement strategy and a public defense dressed in spiritual testimony, offensive to victims and destabilizing to the public record. And, it’s still a cliff-hanger for truth.

Letter #4 isn’t a confession—it’s a stage play and Chad Daybell reaches for the biggest levers of moral authority in Latter-day Saint culture—mission stories, lifelong service, and the language of persecution. Don’t be confused though, it’s all done to sell his spiritual rebrand from Death Row. Let’s expose the psychological choreography behind it: origin story as moral title, social proof disguised as gratitude, excommunication reframed as victimhood, and grandiose claims of “increased priesthood power.” This is the missionary glow of a self-proclaimed prophet and convicted killer. Pay close attention to how his grievance and the martyr’s arc all seem perfectly engineered to recenter Chad and bury the forensic reality. It’s manipulative. It’s offensive to the victims and their families. And we’re going to show you exactly how he’s doing it.

Chad Daybell’s Letter #3 paints a cozy picture of rural Idaho—Salem farms, Indian Runner ducks, family business wins, and a string of fainting spells that conveniently suggest a “natural” decline. But when you put that Hallmark reel next to the forensic record of Tammy Daybell’s death and the convictions tied to this case, the manipulation snaps into focus. We’re going to tear this letter apart line by line and expose Chad Daybell’s psychological playbook. He weaponizes specificity to fake credibility, spiritualizes illness to rationalize, and uses omission as a control tactic. And let’s call it what it is, these letters insult the victims, wound their families all over again, and reek of manipulation. This isn’t remorse. It’s a calculated rebrand from Death Row.

What happens when a convicted killer uses nostalgia and romance to stage-manage his legacy from Death Row? In Letter #2, Chad Daybell devotes page after page to Tammy Daybell—his wife of nearly 30 years, a mother of five, and, tragically, his murder victim. He paints her as radiant, saintly, and strong woman while weaving a love story full of concerts, family memories, and business success. But what’s missing speaks louder than what’s included. The “Tammy Letter” leaves me even more empty than Letter #1. From absolutes like “I never considered harming her” to tender anecdotes designed to blunt inquiry, let’s expose the rhetorical playbook: Chad’s biography of personal sainthood, his omissions, and the strategic rewriting of history. But, we’ll keep the focus where it belongs—on Tammy Daybell, on Tylee Ryan and J.J. Vallow, and on the families forced to live in the shadow of these crimes. Along the way, we’ll examine the psychological defenses of narcissism, gaslighting, and impression management, and we’ll show why these letters aren’t contrition, but performance.

What do you get when a convicted killer tries to stage-manage his legacy from Death Row? Chad Daybell’s new prison letters are less a private outpouring and more a calculated rebranding—religious framing, family testimony, nostalgic anecdotes, and the promise of “more” to come. In this episode we pull the curtain back on those letters and trace the psychological playbook: narcissistic supply, image control, and the strategic seeding of an appeals narrative. We’ll map the players—Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow, Tammy Daybell, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow—then drop in other critical figures who appear in the bleed-through of the story: Charles Vallow, Alex Cox, Brandon Beaudreau (and the variants people search), the witnesses who testified, local law enforcement in Rexburg and Fremont County, FBI agents, and the prosecutors who built the case. This is equal parts courtroom forensic, cult-leader theater, and behavioral profile—aimed at listeners who want to see the rhetorical tricks, the legal signals, and the people who keep getting pulled back into this tragic orbit.
