Lori Vallow Daybell, who killed her own kids, breaks silence in 1st interview
Lori Vallow Daybell, who was convicted of the gruesome killings of her two youngest children and her husband’s former wife, said she believes she’ll be “exonerated” in her first on-screen interview.
Vallow Daybell, also known as the “Doomsday Mom,” was handed the maximum sentence possible in July 2023, more than three years after the bodies of her son, Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 7, and daughter Tylee Ryan, 16, were discovered by authorities in Vallow Daybell’s husband’s backyard in rural eastern Idaho.
Almost two years after she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, Vallow Daybell sat down with NBC Dateline correspondent Keith Morrison to discuss her plans for the future.
She also spoke about her husband Chad Daybell, who was convicted in a separate trial for the murders of his first wife Tammy Daybell and his second wife’s two youngest children and sentenced to death.
“We will both be exonerated in the future,” Vallow Daybell said of her and Chad in the episode, titled Lori Vallow Daybell: The Jailhouse Interview. “The same way I will be exonerated.”
When Morrison asked Vallow Daybell to expand on why she believes she will be exonerated, she said, “I have seen things in the future that Jesus showed me when I was in heaven and we were not in jail. We were not in prison.”
“After I get exonerated, maybe I’ll go on Dancing With the Stars,” she continued, “and you can come.”
“You’re the most hated mom in America,” Morrison told Vallow Daybell, who denies any wrongdoing in all three 2019 deaths.
“I heard that, and we all know what the media does and they exaggerate everything and they make stuff up and they twist things around so…” Vallow Daybell replied. “I don’t know how it became what it is today. It’s amazing to me and I don’t really know.”
When Vallow Daybell was asked if she felt misunderstood, she said, “absolutely.”
“How do you know a person if you never talk to them in five years? How do you know anything about them? How do you know anything about their life? About how it really is?” she said, referencing the number of years she’s been in prison.
When Morrison asked Vallow Daybell if she had been there when her children died, she said, “What place was that? Do you have any idea?”
“Well, I’m the only one that knows. Do you know? You’re pretending like you know,” she added.
Morrison said he was asking her a question and repeated, “Did you watch your children die?”
“That’s a really sad question,” Vallow Daybell said. “I was not there.”
Morrison told NBC that Vallow Daybell winked at the camera as she was led from her cell in handcuffs and with shackles on her ankles.
“That should have given us a clue what she was gonna be like,” Morrison said.
Prosecutors say Vallow Daybell and her husband justified the killings of the two children and Tammy Daybell by creating an apocalyptic belief system where people could be possessed by evil spirits and turned into “zombies,” and the only way to save a possessed person’s soul was for the possessed body to die.
Of course, people can be possessed by evil spirits, it happens a lot. Pedophiles are often possessed by evil spirits. People who kill other people because "God told them to", are possessed by evil spirits. But killing them is not the Biblical method of treating them. It's Satan's method of turning fools into murderers. See story immediately below.
After being given three life sentences, Vallow Daybell also faces two other cases in Arizona — one on a charge of conspiring with her brother to kill her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and one of conspiring to kill her niece’s ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. Charles Vallow was shot and killed in 2019, but her niece’s ex survived an attempt later that year.
It’s alleged that Vallow Daybell’s religious beliefs and Charles’ US$1-million life insurance policy motivated the killing.
On Tuesday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Justin Beresky said one pool camera will be allowed to provide a livestream to media outlets with a possible one- to two-minute delay for Vallow Daybell’s Arizona trial, according to news outlet KSL.
Vallow Daybell, who is representing herself in the trial with legal advisors, expressed concerns over having a livestream from the courtroom.
“We want to make sure the cameras aren’t going to be zooming in at any level to our notes or the things that are going to be on our table,” she said. “What has happened before is they just have the camera on my face the entire trial. I think when the judge is speaking, the judge needs to be on the camera. When the state is speaking, they need to be on camera.”
Vallow Daybell is due in court on March 18 for a pre-trial conference and jury selection for the trial is scheduled to begin on March 31.

As if proof of my accusations in the above story, here is another example of Satanic possession
Mental health patient admits strangling 75-year-old NL woman; also accused of raping victim
Elias M. has confessed to strangling a 75-year-old woman called Yvonne in the forest ’t Wasven in the woman’s living area of Halsteren. The 32-year-old suspect was a client at the local mental health institution Westerlijk Noord-Brabant. He explained during the court hearing in Breda that he heard voices in his head during the incident on October 10, 2023.
The victim was walking in the forest when M. suddenly attacked her. He claimed that he was there because he was hoping that he would not see another person there: “I thought that people wanted to harm me because God said that to me. I realized that a devil was coming into my body.” He explained that he also thought the victim was going to harm him.
Sure, a 75 y/o woman!
Yvonne’s body was found under a heap of leaves. The suspect’s semen was also found during a DNA investigation. He said in court that he does not remember how this happened. The Public Prosecution Service (OM) also suspects M. of raping the victim.
“I am completely devastated and distraught from this,” said the suspect. He said that he still struggles with voices in his head. Specialists think that M. cannot be held fully accountable. They did not determine that he was completely psychotic.
According to the OM, nobody in the mental health institution noticed any signs of psychosis.
Of course not! He admitted to knowing that a demon was entering his body while he was in the woods with the woman. Psychosis wouldn't show up until then. Psychosis can be a symptom of demonic possession.
Demonic possession is well documented in the Bible and in other historical texts. There is no reason to believe that it suddenly disappeared before modern day, although Satan would like you to believe that.
M.’s lawyer wants the specialists to question his client again, considering the new statements made by the suspect.
The court decided to postpone the case so that it can give a "fair and balanced judgment.” It is still unclear when the hearing will be.
