Here's the part of the timeline that covers 2018, the year she claims Lori met Chad for the first time:
ID - ID - Joshua Vallow, 7, & Tylee Ryan, 17, Rexburg, Sept 2019 *MEDIA MAPS TIMELINE* NO DISCUSSION
I haven't compared the dates she gave yet, but my first impression was that MG was being completely truthful but may have recalled the wrong year for some events she gave. MG met Chad in summer of 2017 according to
her own book's forward that was written by Chad. I was a bit surprised to learn she didn't meet Lori until Oct 2018 and wonder if she meant 2017 for meeting Lori. Either way, her order of events fits with what we know-- that Chad met MG at a campout in UT first and that Chad later came to speak in Mesa, AZ at an event arranged by MG. She also confirms something we suspected from previous evidence-- that Chad stayed in Lori's house during an event held in Mesa. She also told us some new info-- that Chad told Lori upon their supposed first meeting that they (i.e. Lori & Chad) had been married multiple times in previous lives. The things she said match up with what we know and she is going to be a key witness IMHO.
One thing I am left wondering is if maybe Chad and Lori had met previously, but did not let on to MG that they knew each other before the time they "met" in front of MG. Perhaps Chad gave that line about being married to Lori in previous lives and Lori went along with it, so that MG would not think it strange that these two who had not met before had an obvious instant connection with one another. Because it's nearly impossible to hide when you "meet" someone you already know, this would have been a good cover story for their affair among the "spiritual" crowd they were in at the time. So if Chad and Lori acted too "familiar" with each other around certain people and it was questioned, they could just brush it off as- "Oh, we were married to each other in previous lives so that' s why we seem to know each other so well." I think this is possible because some friends/family members in this case have said they think Lori and Chad met as early as 2016 and we know Lori was obsessed with Chad's books since around 2015. I think it's possible they totally snowed MG and she is still trying to recover from the gaslighting number that was done on her.
MOO.
