I will never believe Alex cox died naturally. There’s just too much there.

[@Pditts]

100%. He either did himself in legit, or at the recommendation of Chad and Lori. Or they snuck something into his food etc via Zulema or themselves

[@loveforeignaccents]

Me either.

[@MKUltra42]

He went to Mexico for drugs before he died. I think that trip has something to do with his death.

[@My-22-Cents]

Or Joe Ryan. And that was long before Chad was on the picture. Also, knowing what we know now, I’m suss on Lori’s sister, Stacey’s death too. Lori was evil before he came along IMO

[@dianealarcon8304]

Whatever he took, he could have flushed down the toilet b4 he was found.

[@sherriedoyle4196]

Problem being, Arizona officials did not have knowledge of the full scope of the investigation . plus the children had not been located when Alex died. At the time of Alexs death, it was still a very big puzzle involving different states and different jurisdictions. Lori and Chad get a free pass on Alex demise. Although i believe Zulema knows more than she is saying.

[@lorileary4432]

MANY people think that Lori had something to do with Alex's death !

[@arrivagabry]

@@sherriedoyle4196 Zulema is the key of Alex's death, she knows more then what she said. I think he took his own life, convinced by Chad and Lori, hence the blessing, his job was faithfully done, he can go in peace according to Chad.

[@akat32928]

When I first heard about Chad and Lori thinking they were the chosen ones by Christ to pick the 144,000, it made my heart sick. I read the Bible. Alot. False Prophet screamed in my ears. Beware, they are wolves in sheeps clothing. Like a Lion, they roam about seeking whom they can devour. I think there could have been a lot more dead people had they not been stopped. Thank you, Kay.

[@kateashby3066]

@@rachaelcrisler6084​​⁠Mormonism and Scientology are based on the same exact thing that Chad was doing. One charismatic (not sure how Chad pulled this off but that’s besides the point) narcissist bamboozles a bunch of vulnerable and gullible people and then they sell this “gift” of knowledge to everyone around them and share that this man is special and knows stuff (prophet). And before you know it a new religion is born. The only thing that stopped Chad is that he is a murderer. Otherwise they would have had their cult growing more and more by the day. Any religion that requires the worship of a human is a cult. And yet that defines all western religions. So, to answer your question, how can people believe this stuff… EASILY.

Oh I didn’t even catch that! I just assumed he was blowing smoke because he didn’t wanna give out his number! I forgot about the more obvious answer… burner phones! I find it interesting that they recorded the call 🤔

[@momwithaplan1287]

Yaassss! This for me is HUGE! It truly blows my mind. This alone is why I can’t believe that his 5 children are still standing by him. Forget ALL the other evidence in this case that proves he is 100% guilty. But this three minute phone call is astounding all by itself. It’s such a heartbreaking moment in time, but I am always laughing my butt off, listening to his total BS. It’s astounding. Each time the employees, say I’m so sorry for your loss. Chad, the doofus he is, says, “uh, umm, thanks”. Like WTH?!?! You can feel the hatred omitting from his evil lying backside. (Cough cough) for his “uncle”. And wanting the absolute bottom of bottom pricing, for his “loving, precious Uncle” That was taken far far too soon.🙃 I just want to throw up!🤢 Oh wait… and Alex was MURDERED! But none of us give a crap. I’m actually happy about it. But it’s needed for the record. That’s all. 🔥🤣

[@finallylearnthow]

@@momwithaplan1287 his children are loyal to their father and are no where near ready to face the truth. How could you face leaning that your own father has had his hands involved in so many murders including your mothers.

He's beyond creepy and I question what he got up to during his grave yard days and his dealings with the deceased bodies.

[@gigisielaff]

@@momwithaplan1287 Same! How? Also, I find it interesting that only Lori’s kids were zombies… while Chad’s were never on his zombie radar. He never believed a word he preached or pushed. He was in it for power and money. He had no interest in Lori’s kids, and he lied, fabricated and manipulated to ensure they would be eliminated. It’s interesting how insane Lori is and how committed she continues to be to the cult whilst chad has so easily shed his tin foil hat and his teachings.

8:45 CDT Remember, Alex Cox died the day after Tammy was exhumed. 😮

[@sarahfaircloth5475]

Very suspicious! I believe he did something to end his life.

[@trishkearney]

Highly suspicious. Two dead husbands, his wife, two of her children, then the fixer dies. The body count piles up. Oh, and the attempt on her niece's husband's life. Sex, lies, videotapes, money, doomsday... the truth is stranger than fiction. And to top it all off, his main occupation was a grave digger.

[@rosemarylarsen4700]

Yep, they knew they were going to find out she was murdered and was afraid Alex would talk.

[@milujoTV]

I totally forgot about that, thanks for pointing that out! That's a way too big coincidence to be not planned. There are ways to let people die of "natural causes"

Nate do you ever listen to yourself recounting this story and think... "I sound like a lunatic!" I think this all the time as I try to tell my husband what is going on. I can barely do it with a straight face as he is an intelligent, logical man and this is crazy talk! LOL

[@monicasanders810]

The more I watch Chad during the trial and hear him speak in the recordings I don’t understand what Lori saw in Chad and why she was so infatuated by him. 😕

[@staciez]

He’s such a dud!

[@marlenemeyer9841]

My opinion: Lori was infatuated with being SPECIAL. She believed Chad was special because he prophesied, was respected in the “end times” movement, wrote books, gave talks, etc. As soon as Chad called Lori a Goddess she was totally hooked! Both Chad and Lori were bored in their marriages because they lived ordinary lives with spouses who knew they were mere mortals. We cannot under estimate the incredible desire some people have to be “special”, “chosen” and important. They may even kill for it. 😢 This case is SO CRAZY!

[@deebell8727]

He was gullible. Lori had experience with men. She used him to kill her children so she could be free and possibly get insurance money. I don't feel sorry for him one bit. He could have just left his wife. I really believe she would have dumped him soon after anyway and move on to another man.

[@tobiwalker7145]

He's a cold, clammy wet blanket. She would have insured him and moved on...

[@jjillrob]

They both used each other for money sex and power in their creepy evil world. Neither is innocent.

[@barbarabarbaraf494]

[@thebeaverfamily1418]

I want to know how Alex died too. I know it wasn't natural. Look at for instance when Tammy died. They had no reason to suspect suspicion until everything else happened. I so wish we could know more of Alex, I Believe he was given that blessing because Chad and Lori were already planning on killing him. He knew too much but she probably wanted him to get that blessing so that in some twisted way she felt like she was giving him a last gift before killing him. If he optionally ended his own life he never would have told his wife before he died that he thought they were making him their fall guy. That doesn't sound like words of a man who is planning or wanting to die. Guarantee you Chad had to of killed him. Why cremate him so fast otherwise? If we had that evidence it would literally be everything to this case. And I don't care what people say I don't think Alex did all the dirty work to Tammy and the kids. I think he just knew Alot of what happened and who did what so he was an accomplice by default.

[@XjtBA]

I think Zulema may have killed Alex. Just weird that he died too.

[@saltandpepper986]

Remember…. The text messages are TERRIBLE. The Melanie phone call shows Chad’s hand a fair amount as well.

[@My-22-Cents]

I think Prior is doing a good job. People hate in him and I think it’s because of who he’s representing, so they go after his voice and blah blah blah. But imo he’s doing well. I think the prosecution changed their game a bit today and did better, but I fear because Lori’s case was a rather… easy win (she never wanted or worked on a defender) maybe they thought this one would be similar. It’s hard for all of us who have been following the case to look at this as a juror with little or no previous knowledge, but it’s certainly not a slam dunk for the state on all charges IMO.

[@SweetKarina123]

I agree! Prior is doing a good job poking holes and confusing the jury. I have followed this case from the beginning and I was a little confused while x examination

He's really giving the state a run for their money and I think they got complacent after Lori's trial and think they can just put on a carbon copy of her trial and right now they are making it look like it was all her and Alex. At this point it would be hard for the jury to see how Chad fits in. There's a long way to go through but the state should be nervous about what Prior is going to do with Gibb, Warwick and Zulema. They were right in the thick of it and got immunity. Prior is going to shred them all. They were weak witnesses already and he's going to use that.

[@Pditts]

I sure which that when Prior crossed X about Tammy’s exhumation, I wish the witness would’ve said we didn’t know what was in her system or what she was taking because the family didn’t want an autopsy. Just because it was in her cupboard, doesn’t mean she was taking all these meds. :(. He got hammered by Prior today.

[@SweetKarina123]

I wish the prosecution would have objected and said this detective is not a Dr, and can’t testify beyond his training. Prior sure uses that a lot in his objections. prosecution missed that chance..

[@OscarFrosty]

@@SheezaPI I agree. Prosecution has missed many chances. Prior constantly testifies and asks leading questions over and over and they don't say anything.

They need to put some enthusiasm in because Prior is doing exactly what he set out to do - cause doubt and confusion. He is doing both successfully *so far.

[@Weezieweeks]

Love your Courtroom Insider, Nate. The trial might not have the drama that Lori’s did, but this one has a lot more going on from prosecution and defendants and your coverage really gives a person a lot to think about. I did not think we would hear so much new stuff and can’t wait to see what is to come!

[@catasrophieGrrl]

Det Duncan is still gunning for Chad it sounds like! He sounded very much like he's still investigating Chad being prosecuted in Charles' murder as well!! I was surprised by that. 'There's no statute of limitations on murder.' - Detective Duncan.

[@msaijay1153]

And he said it so casually!

[@camillemayers103]

It's normal procedure in a murder case. You hear of Detectives keeping a file for 20 years. They wait for technology to catch up and give them the opportunity to get that evidence (if they truly believe that they have the right subject).

Thank You Nate Eaton .

They kept that recorded call from the funeral home because there was no accurate report of death by a John Daybal 😅😂😅🤣😅 Good funeral home business! This is not their first rodeo! 👉💨

[@kateashby3066]

I mean the fact that they record those calls tells us that some weird stuff goes on!

Thanks for explaining stake. I was wondering what that was. When Chad started tearing up a couple of times during Alex's patriarchal blessing, I almost vomited. It was so fake. And knowing what "powers" it was really meant to bestow on Alex made me even more nauseous.

[@Monique-gq6ne]

Watching from germany. Thank you Nate!

[@user-mn447]

I’m 100% sure Alex was poisoned. It can look like a heart condition. (Too many true crime shows 🤣🤣) He is definitely a victim of the Chad and Lori show.

Hi nate. I have an interesting screen shot of chads dark/light scale spredsheet. Joe Ryan is listed as BOUND he was the first suspicious death connected to Lori. Tylee got a SS benefits that Lori was using before and after Tylees death. I AM SURE he was the first.

Wow! What a day! Thanks, Nate!

Chad probably found the email from Charles and erased it. Or got rid of Tammy’s phone so she wouldn’t see it. I am wondering if Tammy’s phone was extracted by the police???

Just wanted to say thank you to Nate for doing these for those of us who can’t be in court. I know it costs him time with his family and I appreciate his hard work doing this. Hi from Australia. I’m never here early enough to get a question answered or a hello but I do appreciate all Nate does xx

[@janisd2298]

Goodness, this is soooo complicated. We who have been following this case from the beginning, find it complicated. This has got to be difficult for the jury to absorb.

Lindsay Blake is brilliant. The team are on to the Prior dirty tricks. Prior has worked hard on his defence. I’m sure he won’t keep up this pace though. Not sure how he is going to wiggle his way through Chad’s texts

Nate what is wrong with Chad's children I mean you hear there's a dead body in your yard and you don't say to your dad Dad what TF is there a dead body dawn in our yard? The whole thing was so weird I feel like maybe they're slow and I'm not saying that to be mean they don't think right.

[@marlenemeyer9841]

I think Emma really believed (at first) that the police were just finding animal bones and thinking they found human remains.

[@loveforeignaccents]

@@marlenemeyer9841 No, I thought she knew it was human bodies.

[@milujoTV]

​@@marlenemeyer9841 I don't think the police would make such a big investigation if they found just animal bones. Every normal thinking person would freak out if there was such a giant investigation with FBI and Police in the yard of their father. Nobody would talk about that like talking about the next trip to the grocery store.

[@Lollipop_Lexi]

There was plenty of evidence in her chat with Chad that she’s bought into the cult. She talks to Lori, he referred to the Amazon account being in the name of “James and Elena” and he neither felt the need to explain nor did she ask who they were, and she said the spirit had been talking to her telling her she was going to move. She’s in on the whole thing and probably thinks her mother needed to die because she was a zombie.

Love these!!! I watch/listen daily, but by 2- life gets busy as kids get home from school.
