“Doomsday Mom” Lori Vallow Daybell Predicts Future Exoneration in Bizarre Interview
In a recent tête-à-tête with NBC Dateline correspondent Keith Morrison, Lori Vallow Daybell, the infamous “doomsday mom” sentenced to life in prison for the 2018 murders of her two children, Joshua “JJ” Vallow and Tylee Ryan, has made waves with her audacious claims of future exoneration. In her first-ever onscreen interview, Vallow, now 51, expressed a firm belief that both she and her husband, Chad Daybell—currently on death row for the same crimes—will eventually clear their names, stating, “We will both be exonerated in the future.”
Vallow’s optimism is as unfounded as it is perplexing, considering the weight of evidence against her. The couple, who were entangled in a doomsday cult narrative, allegedly orchestrated a series of murders, including that of Chad’s first wife, Tammy Daybell. The chilling circumstances surrounding these events have kept the public riveted, with Vallow maintaining that she had nothing to do with the killings, despite overwhelming evidence suggesting otherwise, including testimonies that her deceased brother Alex Cox was allegedly involved under her direction.
But Vallow’s confidence doesn’t end there—she envisions a post-exoneration life that includes a spot on “Dancing With the Stars,” as if her impending freedom was a mere step away from a glittering Hollywood career. “After I get exonerated, maybe I’ll go on Dancing With the Stars,” she quipped, showcasing a surreal detachment from the gravity of her situation.
Her claims, however, are rooted in a belief system that straddles the bizarre and the theatrical. Vallow insists that Jesus has shown her visions of a future free from imprisonment, where she and Chad are unencumbered by the judicial system. This unshakeable faith has raised eyebrows, with critics questioning her grasp on reality.
As Vallow gears up for another trial concerning the murder of her late husband, Charles Vallow, set for later this month, she seems undeterred by the media’s portrayal of her. “We all know what the media does,” she lamented, suggesting that her narrative has been twisted and sensationalized. Yet, one has to wonder if the media merely reflects the chaos of her life rather than distorts it.
In a landscape where truth often feels stranger than fiction, Vallow’s story continues to captivate, prompting serious discussions about accountability, mental health, and the influence of cult-like beliefs on personal behavior. It appears that as long as the cameras are rolling, Vallow’s saga is far from over.
