Summary
In this explosive episode of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels, we dive into the bizarre writings of convicted killer Chad Daybell, now being released from death row. With the help of AI technology, we hear Chad’s prison letters read in his own eerie cadence — giving listeners a chilling glimpse into how he wants the world to see him.
Daybell, sentenced to death for his role in the murders of his wife Tammy and Lori Vallow’s children Tylee and JJ, tries to reinvent himself in these letters as a misunderstood family man, a victim of the media, and even a spiritual guide. He reminisces about woodshop projects, music that “lifted” him, and his supposed gentle nature — all while ignoring the horrific crimes that put him behind bars.
The hosts pull no punches, mocking the self-importance and delusion that saturate every line. From “bookshelf” nostalgia to musical notes about Whitney Houston and K-Love radio, Chad’s attempt to rewrite history is both disturbing and absurd.
This segment is a must-watch for anyone following the Daybell/Vallow case. It shows how even after conviction, Chad is still trying to control the narrative — painting himself as a prophet rather than a predator. Listen as Tony and the team cut through the fiction to expose the dark reality hiding behind Chad’s carefully crafted words.
