Hi, everybody. It's Ashley Banfield. Welcome to Drop Dead Serious bonus episode. I told you I do these

0:13.9

crazy bonus episodes. And I've got one on Lori Vallow Daybell. I like to say this is Lori Vallow Daybell week. I actually don't like to say it,

0:24.6

but I will say it. And the reason I said that is because she walked into court today and she

0:31.3

really looked as though this was her show. Folks, I think in Lori Vallow Daybellbill's mind, this is her show.
