Lori Vallow Daybell speaks on finding her kids dead ahead of Arizona sentencing

The “Doomsday Mom” gave a final interview to True Crime Arizona’s Briana Whitney where she discussed the moments when she found her kids, JJ and Tylee, dead.

www.azfamily.com

So, this is a new story, LVD came home to find JJ dead, Tylee had killed him, then committed suicide.

Of course, if this happened, you would call your brother and Chad Daybell to bury them both in CD's "Pet Cemetery".

You would understand this if you got on the ship. The good ship lollipop. Dot com.

I don't think she believes any of the nonsense she spews, but what is alarming to me is that I think she thinks she sounds convincing. Delusional. Disordered.

Such a gross reinvention of religion, that somehow she is a demigod helping darks cross over into the light, like she's not a murderer but a savior. She must to think her sing song voice has the power to entrance, that she can intone any stupid thing she can make up and her audience will absorb it like a secret gospel.

She may have gotten bored with suburban housewifery and has decided it's more lively to take this flight of fantasy. I have no patience for it. Her children are dead. So many are dead. Because of a headgame of thrones she's playing out in real life. With real victims.

She is the dark one.

With all respect due to Morrison and Eaton, Briana Whitney is MASTERFUL at interviewing Lori.

I wouldn't expect Lori to respond best to a beautiful, younger woman, but now I wonder if Lori is responding BECAUSE Briana is beautiful. This is not to diminish Briana's professionalism as I hold her interviewing skills in esteem, but I'm trying to see this from Lori's point of view. I think Lori respects beauty.

(And maybe just female beauty because.... Chad.)

Arrived in Phoenix tonight just in time for Lori Vallow Daybell’s sentencing. Despite the devastation Lori caused, I’m grateful for the incredible people I’ve met over the past 6 years. Gerry Vallow will be giving one of the victim impact statements Friday. May justice be served.

The relationships that have formed and the camaraderie surrounding the coverage is not something I recall happening on any other case. Amazing, really.

Lauren is truly an amazing woman besides being a very credible investigative journalist.
It is heartwarming and encouraging seeing how evil has a way of making love and goodness even stronger.

FINALLY a "no holds barred" interviewer yet the outcome was the same, delusions from Lori who makes it up as she goes along.

 

[MerlinFalcon]

I don’t blame the interviewers for anything. They are dealing with a nutcase and she can’t be cracked.

I hope my comment didn't come off as blaming! That is the opposite of what I meant, for any of the interviewers.

I didn't take it that way at all.

In the past I've criticized all 3 journalists for giving LD a platform to spew her deluded lies and compared their interviews with her as getting stuck in an endless loop.

That said considering we're dealing with LD again it was good to finally see a journalist who didn't fold and move on to the next question and stayed with the ridiculous and impossible scenario of Tylee having committed suicide etc.
I wouldn't have put it past LD if she cut the video when Brianna's determination to get an answer/explanation didn't stop.

IMO

12 PM sentencing.

Since this was the last chance for an interview, this time Brianna didn't hold back and asked all the right questions, especially about the children's murders. It took Lori by surprise as she was ready to fill the time with everything else. She thinks she can befriend women the way she collected her cult followers. It's interesting how she threw Alex under the bus to protect Chad. Lori is relatively predictable with her defensive talk. We know who she will blame and when she will invoke a divine plan with her final victory.

Hear ! Hear!
The one thing I don't agree with Brianna about is this is LD's last interview.
Her last interview before her scheduled sentencing hearing today, yes,but far from her last interview.
She has appeals in the works and I'm sure more motions to file and when she needs to hear herself talk again there will be a reporter waiting in the wings.
IMO

Maybe Brianna meant it was her last chance to speak with Lori since she's a local reporter in Arizona and Lori will be in Idaho soon. Brianna's beat is in Arizona so she's unlikely to continue covering the case that concludes today in regards to Arizona.

But. then again, Lori talked about meeting Brianna in the afterlife when Brianna would be able to admit Lori is right, so perhaps this wasn't the last interview.

Justin is live outside the court.

 

[indicolite22]

Nate Eaton mentioned on Courtroom Insider yesterday that Lori got in trouble with the jail for asking him to bring M&Ms to his interview (no idea if this was the actual reason). She got her tablet taken away but has it back now. Yesterday she sent Nate a letter. He didn't discuss its contents and hasn't replied to it yet.

LD will also tell Brianna that Jesus said he wants to be the moderator.

"But. then again, Lori talked about meeting Brianna in the afterlife"

LOL!
