The Doomsday Mom

Today on CrimeTimeSnacks we are looking into the deeply disturbing case of Lori Vallow Daybell and Chad Daybell. What began with the disappearance of two children in Rexburg, Idaho, quickly unraveled into a complex web of extreme fringe beliefs, suspicious deaths, and a sudden flight to Hawaii. We will trace the timeline of how a religious fiction author and a mother of three crossed paths, forming a small apocalyptic group. From the initial police inquiries to the discovery of a tragic crime scene, we will explore the documented evidence of how doomsday ideologies and financial motives merged into a series of unthinkable acts.
