foreign state of Idaho plaintiff versus Lori Noreen Balo AKA Lori Noreen davell defendant count one conspiracy to commit
00:00:16
first degree murder first degree murder count three conspiracy to commit first-degree murder or first-degree
00:00:23
murder count five conspiracy to commit first degree murder the crimes are unimaginable Lori
00:00:31
valadebell stood trial for the murder of her own children sixteen-year-old Tyler
00:00:36
and seven-year-old JJ she was also accused of killing Tammy dabell the wife of her current husband Chad the judge in
00:00:44
the case did not allow cameras in the Idaho courtroom during testimony but we have audio and transcripts of the
00:00:51
proceedings here was prosecutor Lindsey Blake money power move to get what she wanted
00:01:06
and if it was a person it didn't matter who Lori was a beauty contestant anybody you
00:01:13
spoke to who knew Lori back then said that she was like the mother of the year the problem really seems to have started
00:01:22
when Lori started following Chad daybell Chad was a podcaster and author of Doomsday novels then in late 2019 Lori's
00:01:35
two children mysteriously disappeared meantime Lori and Chad are on the beach in Hawaii having the time of their lives
00:01:44
they get married and they wouldn't talk to police at all and they wouldn't tell anybody where the
00:01:50
kids were even after Lori was arrested she still refused to say anything about where the kids were how come you're not
00:01:58
telling anybody where your kids are people looked all over the country for these kids months after Vanishing Into
00:02:06
Thin Air the remains of J.J valo and Tyler Ryan were found buried here and Chad day Bell's backyard what we have
00:02:14
gathered was that Chad had this belief that some people who were on this Earth weren't really the people they were
00:02:22
supposed to be they were zombies and the only way to release their Spirits was to
00:02:29
kill the bodies and if that's not disturbing enough Lori started referring to her children as zombies
00:02:38
she had this grading system where she could read people's auras and they were either dark or light and she had
00:02:45
described Tyler as having a dark spirit I feel like she's kind of a monster but defense attorney Jim Archibald claimed
00:02:55
there was no way for Laurie to have committed the crimes Lori valo was in her own apartment in Rexburg Idaho when
00:03:03
JJ mallow and Tyler Ryan died and Lori was in Hawaii when Tammy davil died I've thought a lot about why this story hit
00:03:15
such a chord with a wide variety of people and I think it's because these kids and then when you throw in the cult
00:03:24
aspect of this we've certainly seen movies with all of this but I'm not sure we've ever seen
00:03:31
anything like this in real life in true crime in regards to count one of the amended indictment
00:03:40
I meant to guilty count three guilty account for guilty count five guilty count seven guilty
00:03:51
foreign [Music] laughs [Music] can you tell me where your kids are did you do something to your children where
00:04:35
are your children welcome back Lori where are your kids anything you want to say Lori Lori
00:04:41
beginning in 2019 Lori vallo daybell spent months denying her missing children were in danger
00:04:49
many including her sister summer Shiflett believed her at the time something's not adding up here
00:04:56
where are they where is JJ and Tyler it's a great question we would love to know the answer to that we don't know
00:05:03
but we know we are very confident that Lori would never harm her children ever but during four weeks of testimony the
00:05:15
prosecution chipped away at the facade of the former Beauty contestant until it exposed Lori valoda Bell for the person
00:05:22
it claimed she really was prosecutors have painted a picture of somebody who was ruthless
00:05:32
Morgan Lowe is an investigative reporter and CBS News consultant somebody who would do anything to get what she wants
00:05:42
according to the prosecution Lori was a master Puppeteer pulling the strings in a heinous murder plot that left three
00:05:51
innocent people dead her 16 year old daughter Tyler Ryan her seven-year-old son JJ valo and Tammy daybell Chad
00:05:59
dabel's wife of almost 30 years it didn't matter what obstacle she had to remove
00:06:06
to get what she wanted 48 Hours has been following the Twisted Saga of the so-called cult mom and her
00:06:14
paramour Chad daybell since the story broke in 2019 months before the remains of her two children were discovered in
00:06:22
Shallow grapes in Chad dabel's backyard when we started it was almost inconceivable to friends like April
00:06:29
Raymond that she would harm her children she did everything for JJ everything for Tyler they were
00:06:38
the center of her world and so I'm not sure what hijacked that priority April met Lori in 2015 in
00:06:49
Hawaii at the time Lori was married to businessman Charles vallo the couple were raising two children Tyler Lori's
00:06:57
teenage daughter from her former marriage and their adopted son JJ who was diagnosed with autism JJ was very
00:07:05
difficult to take care of so I really admired how patient she was with him and how much care she took of
00:07:14
him his big sister was just as devoted to him says Tyler's best friend Vice I loved being around JJ and Tyler
00:07:25
was really protective over JJ and she was kind of like another Mama to him are you taking a video of my child your
00:07:34
child my child I just kind of loved how she would just play with him and just always have like
00:07:41
a really good time with him and I really love JJ he's the sweetest Soul I've ever met
00:07:47
but around 2017 friends say Lori's relationships with her kids began to shift about the time she started reading the
00:07:57
books of Chad daybell I've recently released my autobiography dabel was a former Gravedigger turned
00:08:05
doomsday novelist and podcaster from Rexburg Idaho he tapped into this prepper element out
00:08:14
there people who wanted to prepare for Armageddon Laurie met Chad for the first time in
00:08:20
2018 at a conference in St George Utah the first time Chad met Laurie he told her that they had been married in a past
00:08:31
life he said he was James and she was Elena and that they had lived this biblical life in the past and instead of
00:08:40
scaring her off that seems to have attracted her even though Lori was still married to
00:08:47
Charles valo and Chad was married to the mother of his five children Tammy dabell
00:08:51
Lori's friend Melanie Gibb testified the two soon began an affair did Lori ever tell you directly that she
00:08:59
and Chad would meet at hotels or motels yes did Lori ever indicate to you whether or not she and Chad were engaged
00:09:06
in an affair she would just share that they were intimate Witnesses testified that Lori took on
00:09:13
Chad's extreme religious beliefs says Morgan Lowe Lori believed that she was chosen to
00:09:21
lead the 144 000 after the Apocalypse to lead the survivors of the human race to an
00:09:30
eternal life while the rest of society burned she also believed she had been appointed
00:09:36
another more ominous role says April part of her mission on Earth was to eliminate the darkness the Demonic the
00:09:46
evil April says one of those evil spirits according to Lori was her then husband Charles valo the way she had
00:09:55
explained it to me about Charles was that Charles was already dead and that there was a demon living inside
00:10:01
of him for the first time we heard at trial that Lori held what she called casting
00:10:07
ceremonies it involved getting into a circle with other like-minded followers and casting out dark Spirits from people
00:10:17
getting rid of demons Laurie's friend zulema pastenas attended several of these castings there are certain spirits
00:10:25
that can only be cast out by prayer and fasting here she is on the stand talking
00:10:32
about one of the Demons Laurie claimed was living inside Charles that Spirit or Demon's name
00:10:42
I believe they called him Ned Ned Schneider to be precise why don't you come over here in January
00:10:51
of 2019 Charles was so spooked by Lori's ramblings about the demon named Ned he called police
00:10:59
what did she say yesterday she said you're not Charles I don't know who you are what you did with Charles their
00:11:04
conversation was recorded on the officer's body cam okay so what makes her a danger to herself and to others
00:11:11
threatened they murder me kill me threatened to murder you yes in the winter of 2019 Charles changed the
00:11:19
beneficiary of his 1 million dollar life insurance policy from Lori to his sister
00:11:24
Kay Woodcock JJ's biological grandmother after almost 13 years of marriage Charles filed for divorce
00:11:36
Charles valo had good reason to be scared thank you [Music] on the morning of July 11 2019 Charles
00:12:01
valo went to the Chandler Arizona home of his estranged wife Lori valo to pick up JJ and take him to school
00:12:09
he goes into the house Lori and Tyler and JJ are there and so is Alex Cox Alex Cox Lori's brother at trial Lori's
00:12:21
friend zulemma pastennis who would later marry Alex testified that Chad had assigned him a mission ordained by God
00:12:28
Chad had told him that he was going to be a warrior a Defender and the sole purpose for him coming to this Earth was
00:12:37
so that he could be Lori's protector and Defender did Alex believe this absolutely
00:12:45
shortly after Charles entered Laurie's home that summer morning in 2019 Alex Cox the defender shot him dead 9-1-1
00:12:54
where is your emergency at 8 36 a.m Alex calmly called 9-1-1 I can't tell he said I need to report a
00:13:06
shooting I shot my brother-in-law in self-defense he's not moving the police arrived and shot this video
00:13:19
of Alex on the curb outside the home Alex told them Charles and Laurie got into a fight so you both so you get an
00:13:27
argument what is it over Falls over Mrs my sister's uh getting physical with her
00:13:32
so my niece came out Alex told them he got between Charles and Laurie and shot Charles in the chest when Charles
00:13:38
charged at him at some point Lori Tyler and JJ got into the car and left Lori takes JJ to school and she comes back
00:13:48
later with Tyler police body cam caught the moment Tyler's face was blurred because she was
00:13:56
a minor how long have you lived here like three weeks oh geez yeah okay that's why the neighborhood gotcha like
00:14:03
Hi Neighbor sorry what was striking about the footage that we saw was that there's no remorse there's no
00:14:12
oh my gosh my husband's dead Lori Alex and Tyler were questioned at the police headquarters all told similar stories of
00:14:21
self-defense and were sent home three days later Chad and Lori were exchanging steamy texts here's FBI agent
00:14:31
Doug Hart reading one on the stand I need so badly to just gently kiss you for hours it would likely lead to other
00:14:38
activities likely or luckily it would luckily lead to nakedness but prosecutors say the lovers were in
00:14:47
for a big surprise they were about to find out that Charles had changed the beneficiary of that one million dollar
00:14:54
life insurance policy here's Detective Nathan Duncan reading Lori's text to Chad after she found out
00:15:00
I just got the letter from the insurance company saying that I am not the beneficiary
00:15:05
it's a spear through my heart this is one of the strongest points that prosecutors have made is that Lori was
00:15:14
motivated by money she wanted Charles's money according to prosecutors Lori started
00:15:23
drawing the Social Security death benefits JJ received from his father Charles vallo
00:15:29
she moved with her two kids to Rexburg Idaho not far from where Chad dabell lived with his wife Tammy Lori's brother
00:15:37
Alex Cox her designated Defender moved into the same complex he was there to take care of the
00:15:45
problems prosecutors alleged Laurie's first problem was her 16 year old daughter Tyler Ryan
00:15:53
according to zilema Lori told her that a demon named Hillary had taken over tylie's body now if somebody is
00:16:02
possessed by a demon are those people dangerous they're considered to be darkened to
00:16:08
bring only bad things to happen yeah so yes would be dangerous these are the last known pictures of Tyler Ryan on
00:16:18
September 8 2019 she was with Lori JJ and Alex at Yellowstone National Park the 16 year old was never seen again
00:16:28
Tyler was JJ's protector once she was gone JJ had nobody he had nobody to protect
00:16:38
him or watch out for him just two weeks later JJ Velo went missing this photo of JJ wearing red
00:16:47
pajamas was taken on September 22nd 2019. it is the last known photo of him Melanie Gibb who was staying at Lori's
00:16:57
house that evening says she saw Alex take JJ upstairs she believes to Lori's room but the little boy was nowhere to
00:17:05
be seen the next morning is that when she told you JJ was a zombie yes Melanie Gibb told prosecutors Alex Cox
00:17:15
believed JJ was a zombie as well he said he 100 believed it according to their religious teachings
00:17:24
a zombie had to be killed the body had to die and the body count was climbing according to prosecutors Lori and Chad
00:17:34
had identified another evil spirit in the way what we learned from witness after witness is that Chad told some
00:17:43
people that his wife was not going to be around much longer and that he was going
00:17:48
to have a life before Tammy and a life after Tammy [Music] [Music] foreign the week after JJ was last seen and two
00:18:12
months before the world would learn that the children were missing Lori was planning her fifth wedding
00:18:19
at trial prosecutors called an FBI specialist to the stand did you learn whether or not there was ever a
00:18:27
successful purchase of wedding rings there were on October 2nd 2019. there was just one problem Chad was
00:18:35
still married to Tammy dabell but that was about to change Garth dabel is one of five day Bell children
00:18:45
if I was asleep and I heard a thumb and heard my dad yell Garth Garth come quick
00:18:55
Garth found his mother 49 year old Tammy dabell lying half on the bed half on the
00:19:02
floor and just ran over and picked her up and put her back on the bed I had said to my dad I said I think she's
00:19:12
dead [Music] the corridor initially determined Tammy died of natural causes and the family
00:19:20
declined an autopsy [Music] Chad's neighbor Alice Gilbert testified that a week later he had already moved
00:19:29
on we asked him how he was doing and he said actually I'm doing really good and that he'd met the woman he was going
00:19:40
to marry did you find did it surprise you that he seemed to be doing so well yes we were shocked
00:19:49
Alex and her husband Todd Gilbert met Lori shortly after they came to the house and his arm was
00:19:58
around her and she was giggling and laughing and they look like teenagers Alice says the conversation turned to
00:20:08
Children then Chad said and she recently just lost a daughter so I told her oh I'm sorry and she said
00:20:17
thank you this is significant because at that time Lori is still telling her sister and
00:20:24
everybody else that the kids were okay this is like a slip up an early slip up an admission against interest here
00:20:35
it did not seem to worry Chad and Lori on their big day 17 days after Tammy dabell's death there was Lori dancing on
00:20:45
the beach in Hawaii as her new husband strummed his ukulele exchanging those Reigns according to investigators the
00:20:54
cost of the wedding trip was courtesy of the groom's dead wives life insurance little do they know that the clock is
00:21:03
now ticking soon after the newlyweds returned to Idaho the Rexburg police came knocking
00:21:10
on Lori's door Looking for JJ his grandmother Kay Woodcock had asked authorities to do a
00:21:17
welfare check the conversation was recorded on the officer's body cam here's Laurie talking about JJ he's with
00:21:25
one of my friends in Arizona who's the friend he's with my friend Chad called that friend Melanie Gibb who
00:21:33
testified he asked her not to pick up the phone when the police called later she says Lori asked her to lie and tell
00:21:40
the police that JJ was staying with her in Arizona and I felt in a very weird and
00:21:48
uncomfortable position and I really did not know what to do at first Melanie Gibb wasn't forthcoming
00:21:56
to the police but 12 days later she made a call to Lori and Chad and secretly recorded it
00:22:03
it is JJ's safe he is safe and happy Chad said they couldn't tell her where JJ was for her
00:22:12
own security [Music] Melody handed that secret recording to authorities and investigators launched a
00:22:22
nationwide search but not just for JJ they would soon learn that his big sister Tyler was also missing a search
00:22:31
for two children from Idaho listen up you may know something the children mysteriously disappeared
00:22:37
it was huge news especially to Laurie's new stepchildren when did you know that she had two kids
00:22:45
I first heard of her children when a detective came to my work and asked me about them I had never heard of them
00:22:52
before that point so even after your father Weds Lori you didn't know that there were two kids in the picture at
00:22:59
that point I did not as the hunt for the children intensified Lori and Chad again headed to Hawaii but
00:23:08
the honeymoon was over here Kawaii authorities caught up with Lori by the pool she would be arrested on
00:23:18
child abandonment charges and extradited to Idaho [Music] please be seated Chad the loyal Husband by her side
00:23:31
but now Chad himself was Under Suspicion with the children missing that's when the police took a closer look at the
00:23:39
death of Tammy [Music] her body had been exhumed on December 11 2019. the Utah State medical examiner
00:23:49
immediately saw bruising on her body and he determined that Tammy died of asphyxiation
00:23:58
the medical examiner testified that that bruising was consistent with somebody being restrained
00:24:05
meaning she was held down and suffocated Alex's wife zulema pasteles says that when she heard about Tammy she started
00:24:17
pressing Alex for Answers by then she says Lori and Chad had cut Alex off here she is on the stand talking about when
00:24:25
she asked Alex what was happening what did he say he was very quiet and unresponsive and then he said I think
00:24:34
I'm being their Fall Guy I said Fall Guy for what what is it that that you have done what what have you
00:24:43
done that you would be the Fall Guy for and then he said either I am a man of God or I am not
00:24:54
here's the prosecutor addressing that mysterious statement what exactly Alex meant by this or what
00:25:02
he knew we may never know because Alex Cox died the next day on December 12th of 2019.
00:25:11
and a truth is Stranger Than Fiction plot twist the man Lori and Chad designated her Defender her brother Alex
00:25:18
Cox suddenly dropped dead an autopsy determined of natural causes that was a jaw-dropping moment right before his
00:25:28
death it does look like Alex was second guessing what he had done and why Chad and Lori had asked him to do what he did
00:25:40
they say dead men don't talk but this one did Alex Cox's cell phone harbored a tale of Horrors waiting to be discovered
00:25:50
in Chad dabel's backyard and it would give prosecutors the evidence they had been waiting for
00:26:12
[Music] on June 9 2020 law enforcement descended on Chad Abel's backyard according to the
00:26:21
prosecution Alex Cox's cell phone data placed him here for two hours the day after Tyler Ryan was last seen
00:26:29
authorities later discovered her remains in this same spot it was an area the dabel family once
00:26:38
used as a pet cemetery it now contained Tyler's badly burned remains she had been dismembered detective Ray hermosio
00:26:48
took the stand and described finding what was left of Tyler there was a partial human skull underneath
00:26:57
the melted bucket Alex's cell phone led them to another section of the yard about 50 yards away under a shade tree
00:27:05
investigators started digging they removed a layer of rocks beneath the Rocks they found wooden planks below
00:27:13
that a layer of black plastic one of the crime scene investigators cut a hole in
00:27:21
the top of this plastic and beneath the black plastic was some white plastic like plastic bag and they cut through
00:27:30
that and that's when we were able to see what appeared to be brown human hair sticking out from the white plastic
00:27:39
it was JJ he was still dressed in his red pajamas and covered head to toe in duct tape
00:27:48
several layers of duct tape from his chin to his forehead area his arms were duct taped with several
00:27:57
layers of duct tape his feet were also duct taped and bound forensic pathologist Garth Warren
00:28:05
testified how JJ had died I determined the cause of death to be asphyxia my plastic bag over the head and duct
00:28:16
tape covering the mouth it's unimaginable what his last minutes of Life were like
00:28:26
experts couldn't determine Tyler's cause of death because of the condition of her
00:28:31
remains but prosecutors alleged the way in which both children were killed aligned with Chad and Laurie's teachings
00:28:39
about demons and zombies the Lemma testifies that if they're trying to cast a demon or a zombie out of somebody
00:28:49
there's two minutes after the casting where another demon can enter that person and the only way to prevent that
00:28:57
is to burn the person or bind them Tyler was burned JJ was bound despite all the talk of zombies and
00:29:08
demons prosecutors argued that Lori's true motive to murder her kids was much more mundane Kylie had already lost her
00:29:16
father and she received Social Security benefits because of that Tyler had money
00:29:22
Lori wanted it Tyler's gone JJ also was entitled to Social Security benefits the defendant didn't want to have to
00:29:31
take care of JJ anymore she wanted the money JJ's gone while the prosecution's case was mostly circumstantial DNA
00:29:39
matching Tyler's profile was found on a shovel and pickaxe in a garage on the Debo property a forensic specialist
00:29:47
testified they also found a finger and palm print belonging to Alex Cox on one of the black plastic bags that covered
00:29:55
JJ investigators also found one strand of hair that was stuck in the tape that was
00:30:05
around the bag DNA showed that that hair belonged to Lori valo that's significant because that's really
00:30:15
the only physical evidence they have that ties Lori to JJ at the time of his death some of
00:30:24
the most powerful testimony and the prosecution's case came from Lori's own family they played an emotional
00:30:31
jailhouse phone call between Lori and her only surviving child son Kobe Ryan you ripped my heart out and you ripped
00:30:40
out everyone's heart then Laurie's sister summer schifflett took the stand she told prosecutors that
00:30:47
she believed Lori when she told her the children were safe did that change yes why
00:30:56
I felt line too and my trust in my sister was broken prosecutors played a jailhouse phone
00:31:03
call between summer and Lori after the children's bodies were found [Music] this phone call is painful to listen to
00:31:18
summer is screaming at Lori [Music] that's what I thought Lord [Music] I don't know you
00:31:45
toward the end of its case the prosecution put on Lori's former friend Audrey baratero
00:31:53
she delivered some of the most damning testimony of the trial she threatened to kill me okay
00:31:59
did she say how yes she said that she would cut me huh something about that she wasn't in the
00:32:12
mental place to do that whether she would get herself in that place to be able to do it
00:32:17
but that she didn't want to have to because it'd be so messy so much blood I think that the bleach and something
00:32:26
about trash bags and that she would marry me worse would ever find me Audrey baratero's testimony is critical
00:32:38
because this is a first-hand description of Lori being ruthless with the threat to kill her this is the first time
00:32:48
anyone in Lori's group of friends really described her as being capable of killing
00:32:58
on cross the defense aggressively tried to discredit baratero's testimony so you
00:33:04
now want the jury to believe that even though you previously testified under oath and nothing of this sort was talked
00:33:13
about that you come here today and say you're so scared that's why you didn't previously testify about it objection
00:33:21
you're on our argumentative it's overruled what was your question you want the jury
00:33:26
to believe that you did just didn't make this last crap up I did not make it up after 60 Witnesses and four weeks of
00:33:39
testimony the prosecution rested its case the defense declined to call any Witnesses
00:33:47
your honor after consultation with my client we don't believe the state has proven its
00:33:54
case so the defense rests each side would get a last chance to persuade the jury
00:34:02
in closing arguments on May 11 2023 defense attorney Jim Archibald stood before the jury and argued for his
00:34:29
client's innocence who is Lori Ballo what happened where did it happen when did it happen
00:34:39
why did it happen that's what you've been asked to figure out Archibald painted a picture of Lori as a
00:34:50
devoted mother someone not capable of murder he pointed to this early testimony from Lori's sister summer
00:34:57
schifflett I think Lori was a loving mother and Tyler adored her mother are you ever concerned about the safety
00:35:09
of Tyler around Lori no would you ever imagine your sister wanting to kill her kids
00:35:19
no he also directed The Jury to this testimony from Lori's son Kobe Ryan you said my mom has spent her whole life
00:35:32
protecting us kids yes after she met Chad day Bell she changed I don't remember but yes you never once
00:35:41
thought your mom would hurt someone is that fair to say yes Archibald argued that there is no
00:35:49
evidence tying Lori to the murders of tiley or JJ and he said that hair stuck on the duct tape used to wrap JJ's body
00:35:57
means nothing Lori was Raising JJ JJ was living at Laurie's house the defense can
