  • Do Chad & Lori Daybell Still Believe Their Twisted Tale of Lies?
    In the chilling saga of Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell, Tony Brueski's "Hidden Killers" podcast offers an insightful exploration with Leah Sottile, the author of "When the Moon Turns to Blood." Their conversation delves deep into the minds of the Daybells, unearthing the twisted logic and beliefs that led to their horrific actions. How did a couple once perceived as ordinary transform into perpetrators of unspeakable crimes? This is the question that Sottile and Brueski attempt to unravel.
     
     Chad Daybell, initially an aspiring writer, found his niche in crafting narratives steeped in apocalyptic visions and near-death experiences. Despite his lackluster writing skills, his message resonated with a specific audience. His eventual marriage to Lori Vallow marked the convergence of two minds steeped in radical beliefs. According to Sottile, both Chad and Lori were integral in perpetuating each other's delusions, challenging the narrative that one was merely a victim of the other's influence.
     
     The podcast explores the genesis of their extreme beliefs. Sottile suggests that Lori, influenced by her father's anti-government and conspiratorial worldview, was predisposed to embrace Chad's ideologies. Meanwhile, Chad's journey from a journalist to a self-proclaimed prophet is traced back to his time at Brigham Young University and his involvement in the fringes of the LDS faith.
     
     Their shared belief in the imminent apocalypse and the idea of being chosen leaders in the end times played a pivotal role in justifying their actions. This belief system, combined with financial motives, created a lethal cocktail that led to the deaths of their former spouses and children. Sottile points out the use of religious language and concepts like 'dark spirits' and 'zombies' to dehumanize their victims and rationalize the murders.
     
     As their crimes unfolded, the question of mental health and the role it played in their actions became paramount. Sottile highlights Lori's complex mental health diagnosis, revealed during her trial, and ponders whether a similar condition affects Chad. This aspect raises the ethical dilemma of bringing individuals like Lori, whose grasp on reality is tenuous, to trial.
     
     Sottile and Brueski discuss the potential for another trial for Lori in Arizona. They delve into the complexities of her mental state and whether she comprehends the gravity of her actions. The conversation touches on the broader implications of the Daybells' actions, particularly within the context of the LDS faith and its teachings on personal revelation.
     
     This case is not only a deep dive into the minds of two individuals but also a reflection of the darker aspects of human belief systems and how they can be manipulated to justify heinous acts. As the legal proceedings against the Daybells continue, the world watches, seeking answers to the many questions their story has raised. But beyond the courtroom drama lies a more profound inquiry: what drives individuals to such extremes, and how can society address the underlying factors that lead to such tragedies?
     
     The Chad and Lori Daybell case, as examined by Leah Sottile, remains an unsettling reminder of the hidden dangers lurking within twisted interpretations of faith and belief.

  • Did Chad & Lori Daybell Worship Money and Attention More Than Anything Else?
    In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, Tony Brueski delved into the perplexing and dark world of Chad and Lori Vallow Daybell, with insights from Leah Sottile, author of "When the Moon Turns to Blood." The conversation unearthed chilling details about the couple's extreme beliefs and the sequence of events that led to a series of heinous crimes, leaving listeners to wonder: how did a pair of seemingly ordinary individuals descend into such depths of delusion and violence?
     
     Sottile, in her meticulous research, traced Chad Daybell's journey from an aspiring writer with a penchant for the conspiratorial fringes of the LDS faith to a self-proclaimed prophet. His writings, initially couched as fiction, gradually revealed a deeper conviction in apocalyptic visions. Chad's transition from journalism to the world of near-death experience literature marked his foray into a realm where his narratives found a captive audience. Despite a lack of commercial success, Chad’s writings resonated with a select few, including Lori Vallow.
     
     The intersection of Chad and Lori's lives at a prepper conference set the stage for their eventual partnership, one that was rooted in shared extreme beliefs. Sottile noted that while much scrutiny had been directed at Lori, a deeper exploration into her background revealed a familiarity with conspiratorial and anti-government views, possibly inherited from her father. This upbringing may have made her susceptible to Chad's radical ideologies.
     
     The dynamics between Chad and Lori evolved into a mutually reinforcing cycle of radical beliefs and actions. As Sottile observed, both Chad and Lori seemed to have been "egging each other on," contributing equally to the culmination of their tragic narrative. Chad's portrayal of himself as a victim of Lori's influence, particularly in a male-dominated, patriarchal religious fringe, raised questions about the credibility of his claims.
     
     Moreover, the pair's use of religious language and beliefs to justify their actions, including the murders of their former spouses and children, was a critical aspect of their story. They crafted a belief system where people were classified as obstacles or dark spirits, thereby dehumanizing them and rationalizing their elimination. This belief system, intertwined with financial motives as evidenced by life insurance policies and social security checks, painted a grim picture of the Daybells' motivations.
     
     As the podcast unfolded, listeners were left to grapple with the complexities of the human condition, particularly how deep-seated beliefs can lead to catastrophic decisions. The conversation with Sottile offered a glimpse into the minds of Chad and Lori, providing context to their actions but leaving many questions unanswered.
     
     The Daybells' story is a stark reminder of the power of belief and the potential for it to be twisted into something malevolent. As the legal proceedings continue, the world watches, seeking answers and justice for the heinous crimes committed. But beyond the courtroom, the broader question lingers: how do we understand and address the underlying factors that lead individuals down such dark paths? The Chad and Lori Daybell case, as explored by Leah Sottile, remains a chilling testament to the hidden killers that lurk within the human psyche.

  • BREAKING-COURT-Lori Vallow, Convicted in Children's Murders, Faces New Charges of Conspiracy to Murder Relatives
    Lori Vallow, infamously known as the 'Doomsday Cult' mom, returned to court to face two charges of conspiracy to murder her relatives, marking a new chapter in her ongoing legal saga. Already convicted of the murder of her children, Tylee and JJ, Vallow is now accused of conspiring to kill her husband, Charles Vallow, and her niece's husband, Brandon Boudreaux.

    The alleged conspiracies unfolded amidst Vallow's descent into violent religious fanaticism, driven by her fixation on an impending apocalypse and her whirlwind marriage to doomsday author Chad Daybell in late 2019.

    Vallow, who was recently extradited from Idaho to Arizona, faced the charges during a brief court appearance. She appeared in handcuffs and an orange prison jumpsuit, confirming her identity and acknowledging the allegations against her. Currently, she is being held without bond in Maricopa County Jail.

    The new charges against Vallow stem from a grand jury indictment in 2021 related to the murder of her husband, Charles Vallow, in July 2019. Charles was fatally shot in Lori's Arizona home by her brother, Alex Cox, who later passed away of natural causes in December 2019. While Cox asserted self-defense as the reason for the shooting, prosecutors contend that it was a premeditated act carried out as both siblings embraced beliefs of an impending apocalypse.

    It is alleged that Vallow and Cox, both devout Mormons, believed that the end times were imminent and that their relatives had become possessed by zombies. They purportedly believed that they could save their loved ones by killing them, with religious zealotry serving as a justification for their actions.

    Prosecutors assert that the religious fervor was a cover used by the family to execute the murders. Among the alleged targets was Brandon Boudreaux, the husband of Vallow's niece, who survived a shooting from a moving car in October 2019. This incident occurred shortly after the last known sightings of Tylee and JJ.

    The tragic discovery of the bodies of Tylee and JJ on Chad Daybell's property in June 2020 added another layer to this complex case. Daybell is also set to stand trial for the murder of the two children in April 2024.

    The legal proceedings surrounding Lori Vallow have captivated the nation, shedding light on the disturbing beliefs and actions that led to the tragic deaths of her children and the alleged conspiracies against her relatives. The quest for justice and understanding in this complex case continues as the court process continues.

  • Author Leah Sottile on Who Was In Charge, Chad or Lori Daybell?
    In the intricate web of the Chad and Lori Daybell saga, where do the roots of their extreme beliefs truly lie? This is the question that has captivated audiences, as author and reporter Leah Sottile delves into the perplexing world of the Daybells, unearthing the layers of their bizarre and tragic narrative. Their story, a blend of religious zealotry and personal ambition, raises questions about the origins of their radical convictions and their eventual catastrophic convergence.
     
     Leah Sottile's exploration began with Chad Daybell, a man whose writings, though not widely acclaimed, found resonance with a niche audience. His journey from aspiring journalist at Brigham Young University to a self-published author of near-death experience fiction paints a picture of a man in search of an identity and a purpose. His books, although fictional, blurred the lines between reality and fantasy, suggesting a belief in his own prophetic visions.
     
     The Daybells’ story takes a pivotal turn when Lori enters the picture. Their meeting at a prepper conference, a haven for fringe beliefs and conspiracy theories, marked the beginning of a fateful partnership. The question that haunts observers: Was Chad the mastermind who drew Lori into his web of extreme beliefs, or was Lori the catalyst, propelling Chad deeper into his apocalyptic fantasies?
     
     Sottile's research led her to scrutinize Lori Vallow's background, revealing a family history steeped in conspiratorial and anti-government sentiments. Lori's father, a vocal critic of government institutions, had authored works echoing Chad's libertarian and apocalyptic inclinations. This revelation suggests that Lori was no mere follower in their twisted tale but a willing and perhaps equally culpable participant.
     
     Lori's personal history, marked by a series of failed marriages and a relentless pursuit of fame and attention, further complicates the narrative. Her quest for recognition and her father's conspiratorial leanings may have made her particularly susceptible to Chad's end-of-world doctrines. Lori's trajectory from aspiring beauty queen and television game show contestant to a central figure in a macabre story of missing children and murder suggests a woman driven by deeper, unresolved desires.
     
     The interplay between Chad and Lori raises questions about the dynamics of their relationship. Were they co-conspirators, each bringing their own brand of extremism to the table, or was one the dominant force leading the other astray? Their trial, which captured the attention of the world, painted a picture of two individuals locked in a mutually destructive embrace, each amplifying the other's most dangerous traits.
     
     As Sottile astutely observes, the culpability appears to be equally shared between Chad and Lori. Their trial, a theater of the absurd and tragic, provided glimpses into their warped worldviews and the tragic consequences of their beliefs. The Daybells' story is not merely one of individual delusion but a cautionary tale of how unchecked belief systems can spiral into catastrophe.
     
     As the saga of Chad and Lori Daybell continues to unfold, the world watches, pondering the depths of human conviction and manipulation. Their story, a confluence of religion, conspiracy, and personal ambition, serves as a dark mirror reflecting the dangers of radical ideologies. What led these two individuals down a path of destruction, and how did their beliefs morph into actions with such devastating consequences? As Leah Sottile's investigation reveals, the answers are as complex as they are disturbing.

  • How Did Chad Daybell Begin to Believe He Was A Religious Prophet?
    In the labyrinth of extreme beliefs and heinous crimes, the saga of Chad and Lori Daybell continues to unfold, leaving many to wonder if there will ever be an end to this twisted tale. As Chad's trial approaches and Lori faces another potential trial, the question lingers: will they ever recognize the gravity of their actions, or will the drama only intensify?
     
     Leah Sottile, the author of "When the Moon Turns to Blood," provides a deep dive into the origins of this macabre story. Her journey began in December 2019, when the news of the missing Vallow children and their mother's disappearance emerged. Sottile's background in reporting on the fringes of the LDS church gave her a unique perspective to explore the Daybells' extremist beliefs.
     
     Chad Daybell's aspiration to become a writer began at Brigham Young University, where he wrote for the student newspaper. His early works already hinted at a fascination with the conspiratorial side of the LDS faith. Journalism, however, did not satisfy his creative urges. He gravitated towards the emerging trend of near-death experience writers in the '90s, a genre that resonated deeply within the LDS community.
     
     Daybell's transition from journalism to fiction was marked by economic motivations and a quest for a more profound connection with his faith. He founded his book publishing company, capitalizing on the popularity of near-death experience narratives. His books, though fictional, often hinted at a blurred line between reality and fiction.
     
     As Daybell delved deeper into writing, Lori Vallow entered his life. Their meeting at a prepper conference marked the beginning of a partnership grounded in shared apocalyptic beliefs. These beliefs were not created in a vacuum. They were influenced by the fringes of the LDS church and the broader context of the American religious landscape.
     
     Sottile's investigation into Daybell's beliefs raises questions about his sincerity. Did he genuinely believe in his apocalyptic narratives, or were they a narcissistic ruse to gain attention and financial benefit? His sudden relocation of his family from Utah to Idaho, driven by a supposed divine instruction, suggests a deep belief in his prophetic role. This move coincides with a belief among some fringe groups that Idaho, particularly Rexburg, would be the new Zion, a safe haven for the chosen during the apocalypse.
     
     Daybell's growing influence in these circles saw him giving speeches and engaging in practices like using pendulums, a sign of his deepening involvement in cult-like activities. However, the question remains: why Rexburg? Sottile offers insights into Idaho's history of embracing fringe groups and conspiratorial thinking, making it a fitting backdrop for Daybell's narrative.
     
     In Rexburg, Daybell found an audience more receptive to his fringe ideas, influenced by the state's historical embrace of groups like the John Birch Society. This environment provided fertile ground for his apocalyptic visions and extreme beliefs.
     
     As the Daybells' trial looms, the true extent of their beliefs and the influence of their environment will become clearer. Their story is not just a tale of individual delusion but a reflection of a broader societal tendency to embrace extreme ideologies. It serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked belief systems and the human cost of radical ideologies.
     
     The Daybell saga, with its mix of religious extremism, personal ambition, and tragic outcomes, continues to captivate and horrify. As the trials progress, the world watches, pondering the depths of belief and manipulation that led to this catastrophic series of events. Will the trials bring closure, or will they only deepen the mystery surrounding Chad and Lori Daybell?

  • Author Leah Sottile Talks About How Some Fringe LDS Beliefs Inspired Lori & Chad Daybell
    The ongoing drama of Chad and Lori Daybell, entangled in accusations of extreme beliefs, child disappearances, and murder, continues to baffle and horrify. Chad Daybell's impending trial and Lori's potential upcoming trial raise profound questions about their mindsets and the extent of their culpability. Renowned author Leah Sottile, in her book “When the Moon Turns to Blood,” delves into this perplexing case, shedding light on a story that seems far from reaching its conclusion.
     
     Sottile began her investigation in December 2019 when news broke of the missing children and Lori's disappearance. Her interest was piqued by the Daybells’ association with fringe beliefs on the periphery of the LDS church. “It started with a question,” Sottile explains, “about the fringes of the LDS church.” Her previous work on far-right extremism in the Western United States and the fringes of the LDS church provided a foundational understanding that helped unravel the Daybells' belief system.
     
     The Daybells' journey into notoriety is rooted in extreme survivalist, prepper, and end-times communities. These groups often operate on the fringes of mainstream religious beliefs, exploring and endorsing apocalyptic narratives. “It’s a sort of end-times community,” Sottile remarks, highlighting the Daybells' involvement in such circles.
     
     The story of Chad and Lori Daybell is not just about two individuals but about the broader context of religious extremism. Sottile’s deep dive into their world reveals a complex interplay of personal beliefs, extreme interpretations of faith, and a lethal concoction of manipulation and control. The Daybells met at a conference, a meeting ground for like-minded individuals drawn to apocalyptic and fringe Mormon beliefs. “Lori was very interested in his ideas,” Sottile notes, emphasizing Chad's role as a speaker and influencer in these circles.
     
     Leah Sottile's research also sheds light on the broader dynamics within the LDS church that may inadvertently facilitate the emergence of such extreme beliefs. She talks about the church’s encouragement of personal revelation and a relationship with God, which, while empowering on one level, can lead to problematic interpretations when mixed with fringe ideologies. Sottile delves into the history of the LDS church and its leaders, such as Ezra Taft Benson, whose conspiratorial views may have indirectly influenced the mindset of followers like the Daybells.
     
     The Daybells’ case is a stark reminder of the thin line between faith and fanaticism. As the trials proceed, one wonders if either Chad or Lori will ever recognize the gravity of their actions or if they are too far gone in their delusions. Their story is a complex tapestry of belief, manipulation, and the human capacity for self-deception.
     
     As the legal proceedings against Chad and Lori Daybell continue, the world watches with bated breath, wondering what new revelations will come to light. Will their trials provide closure and justice for the victims, or will they simply unravel further layers of this disturbing saga?

  • RAW COURT AUDIO-‘Doomsday Cult’ Prophet Murder Trial — ID v. Chad Daybell - Hearing Part 1
    In a landmark decision, an Idaho judge has ruled that Chad Daybell's upcoming murder trial will be live-streamed, despite concerns raised by the prosecution about the potential for media attention to turn the proceedings into a "circus."
     
     Judge Steven Boyce made this significant ruling following arguments from the defense, local media outlets, and the state, amending a previous camera ban that had been imposed. The decision allows cameras to be present in the courtroom during the trial, scheduled for April 1, 2024, and expected to span 8-10 weeks. However, the trial will be streamed exclusively through the court's cameras, with strict restrictions on media involvement.
     
     Chad Daybell is facing murder charges in connection with the deaths of Lori Vallow's children, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, as well as his former wife, Tammy Daybell.
     
     During Wednesday's hearing, Chad Daybell's attorney, John Prior, argued passionately in favor of allowing cameras, stating, "Cameras keep everybody honest. It keeps the system honest. It keeps the witnesses honest." He emphasized that having cameras would enable Daybell's family members, who may be unable to attend in person due to the trial's location, to watch the proceedings remotely.
     
     Judge Boyce recognized the logistical challenges faced by those wishing to attend the trial and agreed with the defense's request. He acknowledged, "The difficulty of moving a trial 350 miles from where we are certainly creates restrictions on individuals who would like to attend."
     
     The defense also proposed that the trial be streamed through the media, citing technical issues with the court's system. However, Judge Boyce ultimately ruled in favor of streaming the trial solely through the court's cameras.
     
     Prosecutors argued to maintain the camera ban order to match Lori Vallow's trial, which was held without cameras earlier this year, except for the verdict, which was live-streamed on the judge's YouTube page. They expressed concerns that cameras in the courtroom could turn the case, which had already garnered significant media attention, into a "circus."
     
     Despite these concerns, Judge Boyce made the decision to allow cameras in the courtroom, but with specific restrictions. The court will broadcast the video and audio feeds on the court's website, and still photography or microphones from any media outlet or third party will not be permitted.
     
     In addition to the camera decision, Judge Boyce heard arguments on several pending motions that could potentially impact the upcoming trial, including a motion for a change of venue and the consideration of removing the death penalty as an option. The judge will issue written rulings on these matters at a later date, further shaping the circumstances of Chad Daybell's highly anticipated trial.
