Lori Vallow Daybell believed she was on a divine mission—and that belief led to a chain of horrifying crimes. In this episode, we dive into the court-verified psychological profile of the so-called "Doomsday Mom," revealing exactly what psychiatrists diagnosed and how it shaped her behavior in and out of court.
You’ll hear how Lori Vallow was found competent to stand trial—despite suffering from delusional disorder with bizarre religious content—and how her personality traits, including narcissism and histrionics, played a role in the chilling decisions she made. We explore how Lori reframed murder as salvation, why she showed no remorse, and how her courtroom behavior left experts and the public stunned.
This deep dive goes beyond headlines to explain the psychology that allowed Lori Vallow to deny reality, justify murder, and continue claiming innocence—even after conviction. Whether you're following the trial, interested in forensic psychology, or want to understand how belief systems turn deadly, this is a case you won’t forget.
