The Crazy Jailhouse Calls Between Chad Daybell & Lori Vallow

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

In a major development in the Chad Daybell murder trial, new evidence was presented in court featuring a bizarre phone conversation between Daybell and his wife, Lori Vallow. This evidence, revealed for the first time, adds to the disturbing narrative surrounding the deaths of Vallow's two children and Daybell's first wife.*
The phone call, recorded on June 8, 2020, from a jailhouse phone, was presented in court as a crucial piece of evidence. The call occurred a day before authorities discovered the remains of seven-year-old JJ Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan. At the time, Lori Vallow was accused of child abandonment.
The Phone Conversation
During the call, Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow spoke in a mixture of religious fervor and coded language. Vallow could be heard saying, "Before the second coming, the Lord had ordained for us to begin the millennial day within Zion while war and chaos reigned everywhere else." Daybell responded, mentioning that the new Jerusalem would grow "exponentially." He added, "They're doing all they can to destroy one of the key families, but they're not going to."
Mention of Alex Cox
The conversation took a more chilling turn when Daybell mentioned Vallow's deceased brother, Alex Cox. Despite Cox having been dead for six months, Daybell claimed to have been in contact with him, saying, "He did want me to say he misses you."
"Through our investigation, we learned that Alex Cox often went by Ray Lamar," Ray Hermosillo of the Rexburg Police testified.
Cryptic Project Discussions
The couple's discussion then veered towards a "project" or "blueprint," with Vallow questioning how to manage issues within it. "But there's other things in the project when I'm going back over it that I could have easily done or been inspired to do to avoid a lot of the issues that were gonna come up with that," she said.
Daybell responded with reassurance, "It's a marvelous plan."
"How do you know so?" Vallow asked.
"How do I know? It's been shown to me honey. You just are spectacular, and the Lord is going to use those talents. You're on earth on this time for that purpose," Daybell replied.
Defense Response
Daybell's defense attorney attempted to downplay the significance of the call, questioning the detective who listened to it. He pointed out that JJ, Tylee, and Tammy Daybell had all died before the call took place.
"So there wasn't - from your knowledge in this - some nefarious plan to kill or murder anyone, was it?" the attorney asked.
"It was in furtherance of the plan from our investigation," Hermosillo replied.
As the prosecution's case moves forward, they have called a total of 67 witnesses to the stand. Judge Steven Boyce suggested that the state could rest its case after calling another witness on May 16. Following this, the defense will have the opportunity to present their witnesses.
This latest evidence further complicates the defense's narrative and underscores the bizarre and disturbing elements of the case involving Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow.
