Chapter 1: What led Lori Vallow to become a 'ticking time bomb'?
Could be. Well, around the same time that Alex was excommunicated, Lori's older sister Stacy was also going through a divorce in addition to a custody battle with her husband and a rapidly deteriorating mental state. And that mental state was incurred by growing up in what her husband called the psychological hornet's nest that was the Cox family.
Well, concerning Stacey Cox, because of Janice's constant fat shaming of her children, Stacey developed an eating disorder, and it declared after having her only child that all food was poison.
As a result of Stacey's delusion and the lifestyle that went with it, her daughter's teeth grew in without enamel because of a lack of calcium, and her husband would be given custody because of Stacey's instability and neglect. But as we'll see time and again, the Cox family does not take kindly to one of their own being crossed.
At one point during the breakup, Barry Cox showed up at Stacey's husband's place of work. He slammed him against a wall, screamed Mormon scripture into his face, and stuffed divorce papers down his shirt.
The whole Stacey saga only ended when Stacey fell into a coma and died in May of 1998 at the age of 31, after years of being in and out of the hospital because of her eating disorder and because of complications from type 1 diabetes.
Oh, type 1 diabetes, you... need food. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's a major part of it.
It is. Yeah, yeah. It's the main part. Yeah. Now, soon after Stacey's death, the government finally came for Barry Cox. After years of so-called paper terrorism, in which sovereign citizens like Barry clog up the courts with frivolous lawsuits and endless paperwork, Barry was finally sentenced to a year in prison for tax evasion and was ordered to pay a quarter million in back taxes.
I do not have this money.

Chapter 2: How did Chad Daybell's beliefs influence Lori?
She threw herself into Mormonism completely and got real weird with it real fast. During the early 2000s, Lori could be found dancing by herself in an empty room filled with mirrors while listening to religious music, which Lori said was her form of meditation and her way of getting closer to God. Now, that's a Laura Palmer scene right there if I ever fucking heard one.
Oh, yeah, her just like, Oh, Jesus got your hands on my face. Oh, Jesus got your finger on my pussy face.
It's too bad Instagram Live wasn't around yet. Do you think, question, TikTok saves the kids or furthers the kids? What do you think? Podcasting certainly didn't help. No, podcasting accelerated the whole thing.
Yeah, podcasting made it way worse. No, I think we're talking about a zero-sum thing here. I don't think TikTok helps or hurts. But the thing about TikTok, you can see that she's hot. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.
Periscope. But she's not hot. She's not that hot. She's not hot. I keep calling her so hot. Well, just because it's in Idaho and she's standing next to Chad Daybell.
Yeah, Chad Daybell. Yeah, anyone looks hot when you're standing next to an uncooked pancake.
A dollop of a man he is.
He's a dollop. Well, even stranger than the dancing was Lori's increasingly bizarre beliefs about the dead, such as her belief that her daughter, Tylee, was the reincarnation of Lori's recently deceased sister, Stacy.
Lori also began edging into the more esoteric side of Mormonism, Daybell territory, which she claimed that spirits from beyond the veil were giving her daily instructions on how to live every aspect of her life. Now, this really goes to show you, you never really know what the people you see on TV are thinking. You never do.
