Inside the Mind of a Killer Breaking Down Lori Vallow’s Bizarre Claims

Did Lori Vallow ever have a moment of clarity, realizing the horrors she allegedly orchestrated? Or is she so deeply entrenched in her delusions that reality never stands a chance?

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to break down the tangled web of psychological dysfunction surrounding Lori Vallow, Chad Daybell, and Alex Cox. Was Cox simply a suggestible follower, or did he share the same dangerous delusions? And what about Chad—was he just another grandiose manipulator who found the perfect storm in Lori? The conversation dives into the eerie world of shared psychosis, the cult-like mindset that kept them insulated from reality, and the tragic fallout for the victims’ families.

Meanwhile, Lori remains unfazed, seemingly unfaltering in her beliefs, even as her world crumbles around her. But will Chad’s children ever wake up to the truth about their father? And how do we, as a society, determine when someone’s beliefs cross the line from eccentric to dangerous?

For over 50 years, the world has accepted the official story of Charles Manson and the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders—Helter Skelter, a deranged cult leader, and a race war prophecy. But what if that story was never the full truth? In this explosive deep dive, we uncover the hidden connections between Manson, the CIA’s MKUltra mind-control experiments, and Operation CHAOS, the government’s secret war on the counterculture. How did Manson evade law enforcement time and time again? Why did his parole officer, with ties to covert psychological research, protect him? And could the government have used the Manson murders as a tool to discredit the anti-war and hippie movements?

Through declassified documents, missing evidence, and firsthand accounts, we expose the chilling reality behind the Manson case. We explore how intelligence agencies infiltrated and manipulated social movements, how LSD and psychological conditioning shaped Manson’s methods, and how the media helped turn him into the perfect villain at exactly the right time. This isn’t conspiracy theory—it’s documented history that challenges everything we’ve been told.

Join us as we piece together the puzzle of Manson, MKUltra, and the war on the 1960s. The story of Charles Manson wasn’t just about murder—it was about control, deception, and rewriting history. What was hidden in the missing files? Who really pulled the strings? And why does this case still matter today?

Newly Released 911 Call & Texts in the Kohberger Case – FBI Expert Weighs In

What kind of legal strategy argues that autism should exempt someone from the death penalty? Well, in the case of alleged killer Bryan Kohberger, his defense team is throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks—including an autism-based appeal to avoid execution. But is this a legitimate legal argument, or just a last-ditch effort to humanize him before trial?

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins the conversation, diving into the latest twists: fingernail DNA evidence that may or may not matter, a set of eerie text messages finally coming to light, and Idaho's no-nonsense stance on mental health defenses. Meanwhile, the court filings keep piling up, and we’re still months away from trial. But with this new strategy emerging, it begs the question—does the defense believe Kohberger is going to be found guilty? And if so, how far will they go to influence the jury?

Is this just legal maneuvering, or could it actually change the outcome of the case?

In the quiet village of Caledonia, Wisconsin, a chilling event unfolded that left the community in shock. On March 4, 2025, 15-year-old Reed Gelinskey allegedly murdered his mother, Suzanne Gelinskey, in their family home, drawing eerie inspiration from a Netflix documentary about the Menendez brothers.

That evening, after returning from school, Reed reportedly felt a profound sense of depression and an unsettling urge to harm his parents. He had been consuming his brother's anxiety medication for about a month, and on that night, he ingested approximately nine pills. Seeking distraction, he and his mother watched "The Menendez Brothers" documentary on Netflix, which delves into the infamous case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents in 1989. During the "shotgun scene" of the documentary, Reed allegedly conceived a plan to kill his parents.

After the documentary ended, Suzanne went upstairs. Seizing the moment, Reed hid a steak knife in his pocket and concealed a dumbbell bar within his sweatshirt sleeve. He then called his mother downstairs under the pretense of needing help finding his medication. As she searched, Reed allegedly struck her twice in the head with the dumbbell. When she didn't fall, he threw her to the ground and stabbed her multiple times. In her final moments, Suzanne asked her son, "Why?" to which he chillingly replied, "Pain."

In a state of distress, Reed contacted a friend via Snapchat, sending images of the crime scene and confessing to the act. The friend immediately alerted the authorities. When officers arrived at the Gelinskey residence around 10:30 p.m., they found Reed exiting the house, covered in blood. He surrendered without resistance, repeatedly stating, "She is dead from what I did," and implored the officers to kill him.

Inside, officers discovered Suzanne lying unresponsive with multiple stab wounds and blood-soaked clothing. Despite their efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators recovered the bloodied kitchen knife Reed had dropped, another knife near the kitchen sink, and a silver adjustable dumbbell bar near the refrigerator.

Further investigation revealed that Reed had also contemplated killing his father upon his return from work but couldn't find a suitable weapon. He admitted to feeling an overwhelming urge to kill both his parents that day.

Reed Gelinskey has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide and is being tried as an adult. His bond was set at $1 million, and he is currently held in a juvenile detention center. He is permitted supervised contact with his father and is scheduled to appear in court on March 12 for a preliminary hearing.

The community mourns the loss of Suzanne Gelinskey, a dedicated 4K Educational Assistant at Knapp Elementary School. Parents and colleagues remember her as a kind-hearted individual who always had a smile on her face and could brighten any child's day.

This tragic incident underscores the profound impact media can have on impressionable minds and raises critical questions about mental health, the influence of media, and the importance of vigilance in recognizing and addressing signs of distress in our loved ones.

Imagine a story where two people, driven by extreme beliefs and personal desires, commit unthinkable acts against their own families. This is the chilling tale of Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell, a couple whose actions shocked the nation.

Lori Vallow was once known as a devoted mother and active member of her community. However, her life took a dark turn when she met Chad Daybell in 2018 at a religious conference in Utah. Chad, a self-published author of doomsday-themed novels, claimed to have had near-death experiences that allowed him to see into the past and future. He believed he could identify "dark" spirits or "zombies" inhabiting people's bodies, labeling them as such before they were killed. Their meeting was described by Lori as "amazing," stating, "I recognized him spiritually, and he recognized me spiritually, that we had known each other for eternities." 

Their connection quickly deepened, leading to an affair. At the time, both were married—Lori to Charles Vallow and Chad to Tammy Daybell. Charles, sensing something was amiss, filed for divorce and expressed concerns about Lori's mental state. He told authorities that Lori believed she was a "resurrected being" and a god, warning them of potential danger to himself and their children.

In July 2019, Charles Vallow was shot and killed by Lori's brother, Alex Cox, who claimed self-defense. Cox, described by investigators as a "cold-blooded killer," was deeply devoted to his sister and allegedly willing to do anything for her and Chad.

Just months later, in October 2019, Chad's wife, Tammy Daybell, was found dead in their home. Initially deemed natural causes, suspicions arose when Chad and Lori married merely weeks after Tammy's death. An exhumation and autopsy later revealed Tammy had died by asphyxiation.

The most heart-wrenching aspect of this saga involves Lori's two children: 16-year-old Tylee Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow. They were last seen in September 2019. Despite family members' concerns and law enforcement's efforts, Lori remained evasive about their whereabouts. In June 2020, their remains were discovered buried on Chad Daybell's property in Idaho. Tylee had been dismembered and burned, while JJ was found in a pet cemetery.

Throughout this period, Lori and Chad's beliefs became increasingly extreme. They viewed certain individuals, including their own family members, as possessed or replaced by dark spirits. This warped perspective, combined with desires for financial gain—such as life insurance payouts—and their relationship, culminated in these tragic events.

In 2023, Lori Vallow was convicted of the murders of her children and conspiracy to commit murder in Tammy Daybell's death. She was sentenced to multiple life terms without the possibility of parole. Chad Daybell faced his own trial in 2024 and was convicted on all counts, receiving a death sentence.

Despite the overwhelming evidence and their convictions, Lori remains unrepentant. In a recent jailhouse interview with NBC's Keith Morrison, she expressed confidence that she and Chad would be exonerated, claiming that Jesus had shown her visions of their future freedom. She even suggested that after her exoneration, she might appear on "Dancing With the Stars," inviting Morrison to join her.

Morrison described the 90-minute interview as "exhausting," noting that Lori was determined to tell her own version of events, which did not align with established facts. She frequently challenged Morrison's questions, asking, "Where'd you hear that? Keith, who told you that?"   

This case serves as a stark reminder of how extreme beliefs, when combined with personal desires, can lead to devastating consequences. The tragic loss of innocent lives and the subsequent trials have left an indelible mark on all those involved.

A 66-year-old Texas man will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars after pleading no contest to murdering his ex-wife in a brutal attack, stabbing her 95 times after learning she planned to move out and had met someone new.

On Monday, Bexar County Criminal District Judge Ron Rangel sentenced Martin Garcia to 45 years in a state correctional facility for the 2023 killing of 66-year-old Teresa Moreno Garcia, court records show. Garcia, who had already served 454 days in jail, reached a plea deal with the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office, agreeing to a maximum sentence in exchange for a no-contest plea to one count of murder.

During the sentencing hearing, Teresa Garcia’s sons delivered emotional victim impact statements, describing their mother as a loving woman who endured years of domestic abuse at the hands of her ex-husband.

“She did not know how to escape,” one of her sons said.

The victim’s other son recalled Martin Garcia’s controlling nature, stating, “He would say things like, ‘If I can’t have her, nobody can.’” He urged others to listen to victims of domestic violence, saying the family had known for decades that Garcia was abusive.

Prosecutors revealed that although the couple had divorced years earlier, they continued to live together due to financial struggles. However, when Teresa Garcia told her ex-husband that she was moving out to be with someone new, he “violently attacked her.”

On the night of December 5, 2023, at approximately 11 p.m., officers with the San Antonio Police Department responded to a 911 call from a residence on the 200 block of Channing Avenue. Martin Garcia himself had placed the call, confessing to the dispatcher that he had just killed his wife by stabbing her to death.

When officers arrived, they found Teresa Garcia inside the home with multiple stab wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities also discovered Martin Garcia outside the residence, suffering from a self-inflicted wrist wound. He was taken to a hospital for medical evaluation before being taken into custody.

According to the arrest report, Garcia told investigators he attacked his ex-wife after accusing her of cheating. The argument escalated when Teresa Garcia attempted to leave, prompting him to stab her repeatedly.

Despite his horrific actions, Garcia expressed remorse in court. “I loved her very much,” he told the judge. “She was the only one I loved. I did what I did, I am very sorry, but I loved her.”

An autopsy by the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed Teresa Garcia’s cause of death as multiple sharp force injuries, ruling it a homicide.

Could the latest twist in the Bryan Kohberger case be the break his defense has been waiting for, or is it just another red herring? DNA evidence from three different individuals was found under one of the victim’s fingernails, and Kohberger's legal team is scrambling to get it thrown out. Meanwhile, the judge is done with the secrecy and demanding more transparency from both sides.

Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins the discussion, breaking down what this new DNA evidence actually means (spoiler: it’s complicated), how juries might struggle to interpret it, and whether this is a game-changer or just a minor distraction. Plus, we unpack the defense’s latest strategy—introducing autism into the conversation. Is this an attempt to humanize Kohberger, or just a desperate bid to sway the jury? And more importantly, is anyone actually buying it?

A Texas man’s road rage arrest took a terrifying turn when investigators uncovered a plot straight out of a nightmare. Jose Israel Teran, a 21-year-old from San Antonio, was initially charged for shooting a truck driver on Interstate 35. But while he sat in jail, a second investigation emerged—one far darker than anyone expected.

We’ll also examine other shocking cases of attempted child trafficking and illegal organ sales, exploring whether Teran was acting alone or if this case is part of something even bigger. Could this be the tip of the iceberg?

Join us as we break down the horrifying details of the Jose Israel Teran case, what we know so far about his charges, and the wider implications of human trafficking and organ sales in the U.S. How common are these crimes? Who is behind them? And what happens next for Teran as he awaits trial? This is one case you won’t forget. Subscribe now and stay updated as the investigation continues.
