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

00:00 - 00:04 Keith Morrison

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

0

00:04 - 00:05 Lori Vallow Daybell

Good one, Keith.

0

00:05 - 00:06 Keith Morrison

Most hated mom in America.

0

00:06 - 00:09 Lori Vallow Daybell

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

0

00:00 - 00:00 Keith Morrison

Well, yeah.

00:00 - 00:00 Lori Vallow Daybell

I'm friends with everybody. I love everybody.

00:00 - 00:00 Lester Holt

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

00:00 - 00:00 Lori Vallow Daybell

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

00:00 - 00:00 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?

00:45 - 00:52 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

00:52 - 01:01 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

01:02 - 01:24 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.

01:31 - 02:01 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.

00:00 - 00:00 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.

00:00 - 00:00 Lori Vallow Daybell

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

00:00 - 00:00 Keith Morrison

Well, there you go.

00:00 - 00:00 Lori Vallow Daybell

We'll do the best we can.

00:00 - 00:00 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?

37:50 - 37:54 Keith Morrison

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

0

37:54 - 37:55 Nate Eaton

Exactly.

0

37:56 - 38:03 Keith Morrison

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

0

38:03 - 38:05 Tammy Daybell

911, where's your emergency?

0

00:00 - 00:00 News Reporter

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

00:00 - 00:00 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

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

00:00 - 00:00 Keith Morrison

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

00:00 - 00:00 Tammy Daybell

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

00:00 - 00:00 Keith Morrison

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