Vaisia Itaaehau: She was a fan of his writing. Sometime in 2018, Lori met Chad Daybell, developing what friends say seemed like a cult-like devotion to him. And the only way to release their spirits to heaven was to kill the bodies. Morgan Loew: Chad had this belief that some people who were on this earth weren't really the people they were supposed to be. According to one witness, Chad talked about dark spirits and zombies. He believed he could talk to dead people and see into the future. Some say, over the years, Chad's religious beliefs became extreme.
He and his wife Tammy were raising five children.
Chad and Tammy Daybellĭaybell was married. Morgan Loew | Investigative reporter and CBS News consultant: He tapped into this "prepper" element out there, people who wanted to prepare for Armageddon. He wrote religious tales about the destruction of the world. Daybell was a professional gravedigger-tuned-novelist and podcaster from Rexburg, Idaho. … and she was kind of like another mama to him.īut around 2017, friends say Lori's relationships with her kids began to shift - sometime after she started reading the books of Chad Daybell. Vaisia Itaaehau: I loved being around JJ and Tylee.
JJ had autism and Lori seemed the ideal mother for him, says Raymond.Īpril Raymond: JJ was very difficult to take care of … So … I really admired how patient she was with him and how much care she took of him.īut it was Tylee's bond with JJ that Tylee's close friend Vaisia Itaaehau will always remember. At the time, Lori was married to businessman Charles Vallow and they were raising the two children – Tylee, Lori's teenage daughter from a former marriage, and their adopted son JJ, the grandson of Charles's sister Kay Woodcock. Īpril Raymond met Lori in 2015 in Hawaii. And so, I'm not sure what hijacked that priority. Tylee Ryan, JJ Vallow and Lori Vallow.Īpril Raymond: She did everything for JJ, everything for Tylee. The Lori Vallow the world has come to know - the "doomsday mom" who refused to say where her children were, the woman now accused with Chad Daybell of murdering her own two kids - is nothing like the doting mother April Raymond once considered a dear friend. None of this would've happened if Lori Vallow had never come into my family's life.
