In a compelling episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," guest Shavaun Scott, a seasoned psychotherapist and author, delves into the complex web of beliefs ensnaring Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow. The conversation illuminates the harrowing intersection of religious fervor and psychological delusion that characterized their actions, leading to the tragic death of two children and Daybell's ex-wife. Scott explores the possibility of Daybell's defense leveraging mental health claims, comparing these to Lori's diagnosed delusional disorder and personality issues. The discussion navigates the murky waters of religious belief versus delusion, highlighting the danger when extreme beliefs lead to real-world consequences. Scott and Brueski ponder the cultural and religious contexts that can normalize such beliefs, questioning when, if ever, society should draw the line. This episode not only scrutinizes the Daybell trial but also invites a broader reflection on the power of belief and its potential to turn deadly.
