378 - Zombies, White Camps, and Murder: The Story of Lori Vallow
A big, crazy story full of zombie-talk, End Times prophecies, attempts to kill people with magic, and so much more. This week, we lay out a story largely set right here in Idaho about murderous mother, Lori Vallow, and the strange little doomsday cult she became a part of with Chad Daybell.

Show Notes
I know - this episode is a long one! I tried to cut as much as I could that didn't feel relevant to tell this tale. I really did! There's just so much juicy stuff. So many strange, STRANGE details. Lori evolved, over the course of her adult life, from a manipulative person who was also very religious, into a murderous, manipulative person who became, essentially, the co-leader of a cult when she met her fifth and final husband, Chad Daybell. Chad had, over many years as an LDS author, created a fictional, apocalyptic world that he then later said was actually a real world based on his many prophetic visions of the future. Visions he was able to have thanks largely to two near death experiences. In Chad's vision of the world, there are lightworkers and zombies - angels and demons - continually battling for supremacy as we accelerate quickly into the End Times. And he and Lori were to gather 144,000 of God's most faithful and lead them into battle. And along the way, spells must be cast, zombies must be slayed, and, well, it's all just so insane. Hope you find this episode's subject matter as captivating as I did!
