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.
