The Welcome to 10-minute murder, where today's story is proof that the apocalypse seems to be a great excuse for the worst decisions.

Meet Lori Valo, former beauty queen, devoted mom,

and someone who really took the phrase,

The End is Near, a little too seriously.

Lori had a pretty standard hobby, collecting husbands.

But things took a sharp left turn when she met Chad Daybell,

a guy who looked at the book of

Revelation and thought, what if I made this weirder? Chad fancied himself a prophet, not the fun

kind with a crystal ball, but the kind that claimed to have seen the end of the world and a vision.

And he also claimed to have been married to Lori in several past lives. Kind of like a Hallmark movie, right?

Together, they weren't just preparing for Doomsday.

They were also gathering followers, making wild spiritual claims,

and turning the people around them into collateral damage.

This is a story where missing kids, exhumed bodies, and a lot of unexplained deaths start

piling up faster than Lori's divorce papers.

And it all happens under the warm glow of a woman who claims she could talk to angels,

though not necessarily the ones you'd want to meet.

Strap in because by the time we're done, you'll wonder if the end of the world

isn't such a bad option after all. This is 10-minute murder.

In 1973, Lori Cox was born to Mormon parents in San Bernardino County, California.

She got married for the first time at 19 years old, but swiftly divorced her new husband,

marrying another man three years later.
