REXBURG, Idaho — The search for Lori Vallow's children took the national spotlight in 2019, but it wasn't until months later that police discovered what they feared most, the bodies of 7-year-old JJ Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan on the property of Lori's newest husband Chad Daybell.
Before Lori met Chad she had a string of marriages "gone wrong." Perhaps the most notable was her fourth husband Charles Vallow. In this episode, Jen and Taylor take a closer look at Lori's escalating obsession with extreme religious views ultimately leading up to his death in the summer of 2019. Jen and Taylor review body cam footage before and after his death, the first of many mysterious deaths connected to Lori. She packs up her kids and moves them to rural Idaho to start a new life. That's where she meets Daybell.
