Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?

0.37 - 4.175 Keith Morrison

Tonight on Dateline. You've been known as the doomsday mom.

0

4.576 - 5.176 Lori Vallow Daybell

Good one, Keith.

0

5.277 - 6.939 Keith Morrison

Most hated mom in America.

0

6.959 - 9.302 Lori Vallow Daybell

I heard that. I thought we were going to be friends.

0

9.523 - 10.644 Keith Morrison

Well, yeah.

10.865 - 12.828 Lori Vallow Daybell

I'm friends with everybody. I love everybody.

13.686 - 19.609 Lester Holt

She's the notorious mother tangled in a dark web of murder. Lori Vallow Daybell.

20.11 - 24.172 Lori Vallow Daybell

It's mind-blowing. The media loves to take tragedies and turn them into crimes.

24.532 - 30.896 Keith Morrison

Children, spouses, God. So tell me what happened to Tylee and JJ. Did you kill them?

Chapter 2: Who is Lori Vallow Daybell and why is she infamous?

45.264 - 52.511 Keith Morrison

If she would ever tell anybody the truth, you'd think it would be you. That's what she said. She is calculated. You did not kill a soul.

0

52.711 - 61.899 Lori Vallow Daybell

Absolutely not. What proof and evidence is there? All these rumors. You've heard a lot of stuff, but what I tell you will be the truth.

0

62.523 - 84.729 Lester Holt

Will she reveal her secrets at last? An interview like you've never seen. I'm Lester Holt, and this is Dateline. Here's Keith Morrison with Lori Vallow Daybell, The Jailhouse Interview.

91.161 - 121.816 Keith Morrison

Now, as I look back at this scene, I cannot help but wonder... The one in orange, I need hardly tell you, was, perhaps still is, the most infamous woman in America. Lori Vallow. What was she thinking just here? What was her plan? That she had one would seem quite obvious soon enough. But not yet. Not here. As her jailers led her down a bland white hallway in Phoenix, Arizona's Jail for Women.

0

123.766 - 132.452 Keith Morrison

Hello, come on in. And yes, I felt a moral twinge. Hi. This would get her some attention. Apparently they have to stay on. They do? Go figure.

132.472 - 134.774 Lori Vallow Daybell

I talked with my hands, so it's going to be a little difficult.

135.895 - 136.435 Keith Morrison

Well, there you go.

136.475 - 137.236 Lori Vallow Daybell

We'll do the best we can.

137.576 - 164.906 Keith Morrison

But perhaps half a decade after the events that put her here, she would finally tell us why. See ya. Why her children are dead? And her ex-husband and her lover's wife? Why all that death and mayhem? But Lori Vallow, as I was about to discover, had her own unique way of dealing with nosy interrogators. You're the most hated mom in America, right?

Chapter 3: What led to the disappearance of Tylee and JJ?

2270.431 - 2274.635 Keith Morrison

And she may have heard, like, some sort of semi-pop and thought it was paintball.

0

2274.895 - 2275.336 Nate Eaton

Exactly.

0

2276.112 - 2283.614 Keith Morrison

So, plan A having failed, apparently it was time for plan B. Ten days later.

0

2283.634 - 2285.735 Tammy Daybell

911, where's your emergency?

0

2285.875 - 2291.957 News Reporter

We just found my mom. She's on the ground frozen. She's dead.

2292.497 - 2300.82 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

I'm Chad, the husband. She's clearly dead. I'm so sorry.

2302.048 - 2306.889 Keith Morrison

Chad and his son called to report that Tammy had died in her sleep.

2307.509 - 2310.77 Tammy Daybell

Okay, Chad, I'm going to get somebody up to you right now. Okay.

2311.37 - 2314.291 Keith Morrison

Later that morning, Chad notified Tammy's sister, Sam.
