BEYOND THE VEIL: The Secrets of Lori Vallow Daybell, PART 1

Lori Vallow Daybell has been convicted of murdering her two children, but right before her trial began in April, Hidden hosts John and Lauren Matthias sat down to ask the question many have been wondering: Did Lori change before she commited her crimes, or is this who Lori Vallow has always been? This is PART 1 of a TWO PART Episode exploring Lori Vallow Daybell's mind.

A forensic psychologist and journalist (who are husband and wife) explore the inner workings of Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell's minds, as well as the hidden motivations driving a series of inexplicable murders in 2019.

While Lauren attended Lori's trial and plans to attend her sentencing in July of 2023, the hosts continue interviewing and investigating what's Hidden, just as they have been for three years. You can get caught up by listening to our full 'Beyond the Veil" season.
