Vallow’s son blames doomsday mom for murder of siblings in jail call
The high-profile trial of “doomsday cult mom” Lori Vallow continues in Boise, Idaho, where she is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, and grand theft over the deaths of her daughter Tylee Ryan, 16, and son Joshua “JJ” Vallow, seven.
Tylee and JJ were last seen alive in September 2019. Their bodies were found buried on the property of Ms Vallow’s new husband Chad Daybell in June 2020.
Ms Vallow, 49, is also charged with conspiracy to murder Mr Daybell’s first wife Tammy in October 2019.
She has pleaded not guilty in a dramatic case spanning multiple murders, unexplained deaths and cult beliefs.
This week, the jury heard Ms Vallow’s surviving child Colby Ryan angrily confront his mother about his siblings’ deaths in a jailhouse phone call, telling her: “You ripped my heart out!”
Testimony also explained how Ms Vallow and Mr Daybell were planning a new life together in Hawaii – without any children — and how she stoel Social Security payments intended for Tylee and JJ.
On Thursday, a friend recalled a visit to Ms Vallow in Rexburg, Idaho, including the last sighting of JJ and a chilling warning from Mr Daybell about Tammy’s death.
