In a special bonus episode host, Sarah Treleaven and legal analyst Beth Karas discuss the latest developments in the Lori Vallow case and the recent determination that Lori is now component to stand trial.
Sarah sits down with Adam and Zac Cox, Lori and Alex’s brother and nephew. They tell us about the Lori and Alex they knew, and why the two siblings were so drawn to the end times ideas that may have led to murder.
While the media has remained fixated on Chad and Lori’s crazy zombie beliefs, prosecutors have been quietly building a different case—one that revolves around more earthly than spiritual concerns.
As Lori and Chad are charged with murder, prosecutors share their theory that they had help from a third person: Lori’s big brother, Alex Cox.
Chad became a small-time doomsday prophet in his rural Idaho town. When he and Lori meet at a prepper conference, the stage is set for an end times romance.
