Summary
Did Lori Vallow Daybell really believe her ex-husband was possessed by a zombie named Ned, or was it all just part of a twisted scheme to cash in and move on?
In this episode, Tony Brueski and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis dig into the chilling courtroom strategies, eyebrow-raising insurance money moves, and the complete absence of character witnesses for the woman accused of orchestrating a deadly plot. They unpack Lori's eerie calm after Charles Vallow’s death, her swift attempt to claim life insurance, and how a smiling widow made enchiladas while allegedly plotting murder. With no one stepping up to defend her character and bizarre religious delusions creeping into testimony, the case raises big questions: was this about belief, greed, or something even darker?
And seriously, how does someone go from “my enchiladas are a family favorite” to “my brother might have killed my husband because a demon named Ned told us to”?
Should every state allow the insanity defense—or would that be giving people like Lori an easy out?
