She was a devoted mother. A beauty queen. A woman who posted family vacations and birthday celebrations on social media. And then, somewhere along the way, she became something else entirely.

Lori Vallow Daybell convinced herself — and those around her — that her own children were possessed by dark spirits. Zombies who needed to be eliminated. What followed was a calculated campaign of murder that claimed the lives of 7-year-old JJ Vallow, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and Tammy Daybell — all while Lori collected her children's Social Security benefits and honeymooned in Hawaii.

This is the story of faith weaponized. Of maternal instinct turned inside out. Of a belief system so twisted that murder became mercy.

And in 2026, Lori is still fighting her conviction — still insisting nobody was murdered.

Intent doesn't lie. People do.
