| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to another additional Mormon stories podcast. I'm your host John |
| 0:03.8 | Delin. It is May 1st, 2023. And today we are in the midst of coverage on Mormon stories |
| 0:09.7 | podcast of a sobering, a sad, a tragic story. We are covering the Lori Vallo and Chad |
| 0:19.5 | Debel stories. And specifically right now in Boise, Idaho, there is a trial undergoing |
| 0:27.0 | with Lori Vallo. She's been charged with conspiracy to commit murder of her two children, |
| 0:33.7 | JJ and Tiley along with Tammy Debel, which is her, I guess her current husband's late wife. |
| 0:44.1 | She's also been charged with murder for JJ and Tiley. And then over in Arizona, their fraud |

| 2:04.9 | And you travel all the way from where? From San Antonio. Yeah. Thanks for making the trip. |
| 2:09.5 | Yeah. Happy to do it. So the trial is very popular. It's kind of a national news story. |
| 2:16.7 | But we're also dealing with the murder of children and of adults and very dark things. And so I'll |
