Lori Vallow's niece testifies | Chad Daybell murder trial

For the first time, the niece of Lori Vallow testified. Melani Pawlowski took the stand in the Chad Daybell trial, telling the court what Daybell and Vallow allegedly taught regarding extreme religious beliefs.
Last year, Melani was disqualified from testifying in her aunt’s trial due to listening to her ex-husband’s (Brandon Boudreaux) testimony.
Lori Vallow was found guilty in May 2023 of six charges, including the murders of Joshua "JJ" Vallow and Tylee Ryan, both of whom were her children. On July 31, Vallow was sentenced to life in prison without parole by an Idaho judge.

Why is not this woman charged with conspiracy to commit her husband’s murder?

[@colleenuchiyama4916]

She apparently made a sweetheart of a deal with police and/or feds. Or maybe they deprogrammed her and then gave her immunity. I agree. She and the other Melanie should be in prison.

Can you imagine thinking that Jesus Christ needed ‘help’ for a second coming? The audacity is astounding.

[@DianaBraley]

Exactly. This person has delusions of grandeur. And not only that but he committed murder or went along with a murder to bring about his delusions of a promised land where Chad Daybell is the chosen one who will slay demons. If he is not right in this world, what makes him think he'd be righteous in the next? My bible teaches me that adultery while married to your spouse is a sin. And having hateful and bitter thoughts towards others is also not righteous, nor coveting other peoples spouses or houses or things. So Chad is a charlatan.

[@tracywilson5777]

Funny how her kids were dark but, non of his own kids were Dark ! 🙄

[@monicascott2354]

It's probably because they were all legal adults. They were more apt to believe Chad than Tylee/JJ would, and Chad also flat out said, "She (Tylee) didn't like me." Before anybody even knew she was dead, mind you.

[@colleenuchiyama4916]

Because he raised them in a cult-like way. Garth was his “difficult “ child, and I believe it’s because Garth was close to Tammy and was able to think critically, especially regarding his dad’s idiotic “prophecies “. I also firmly believe that chud hated Tammy because she was the main breadwinner, as well as the one running his crap publishing house. Even though he easily could have shared some of the financial burden, he was too damn lazy and liked being able to screw around. And so his resentment of her abilities turned into hate. Because he’s a lazy POS.

[@colleenuchiyama4916]

It’s my belief that their lives are lacking something profound. Apparently having children and nurturing them and helping them grow into adulthood was not enough. IMO, they felt invisible, and even their religion didn’t fulfill them. In waddles chud, who sees them for the gullible, pitiful people they are. He sees some easy marks who will do his bidding, and all he has to do is tell them how important they are to his cult. One will be the goddess, one the protector, and one will control the weather. And because of this, they will commit the most heinous crimes without shame.

Last year surrounding Lori's trial there was speculation that while Alex laid in the trunk of Tylee's jeep shooting at Brandon it was a strong possibility that Mel B. was in the driver's seat. One reason for this is that the jeep pulled out quickly after the gun was fired, too quickly for Alex to climb over the interior seats and get into driving position. Another is that she was one of a handful of people who knew where Brandon lived.

Watch the bodycam from when the police had to arrest her because she wasn’t going to leave without her “dark” children. Had she been able to get them they would’ve met with the same fate as JJ and Tylee. She KNEW what happens to “dark” people and did NOTHING to stop any of it.
