‘You Murdered My Siblings’: Lori Vallow's Son Breaks Down While Testifying About Siblings’ Deaths

Lori Vallow Daybell’s son, Colby Ryan, testified in his mother’s triple murder trial Tuesday. A jailhouse phonecall between Ryan and Daybell was played for jurors in which Ryan tells his mother “I thought I could trust you. I thought that you were a completely different person.” Daybell is accused of killing two of her children, Tylee Ryan and J.J. Vallow, along with her fifth husband’s late wife, Tammy Daybell.

[@mysticalmargaret6105]

Agreed! It has to be soul crushing. In a way, I understand Chad Daybell's kids, all of whom are clearly in deep denial, in spite of a mountain of evidence, both circumstantial and actual physical evidence. They can't seem to bring themselves to accept that not only is their father a brutal murderer of multiple victims, but that he asphyxiated their own mother Tammy. They all know that he was with their mother when she died, not Alex Cox. Instead, they've all chosen to lay the blame at Lori Daybell's feet.

There were cameras in the beginning of the case, pre trial hearings, but they were all focusing too much on Lori and her lawyers asked for them to be removed, they had a hearing about it with a media lawyer making arguments for cameras to continue to be allowed but judge ruled them out for the sake of preventing a biased jury, jury hadn’t been selected yet.

[@truthhurts2879]

Each state governs differently, and all circumstances are taken into account involving the benefits /disadvantages in the televisement of such cases based on varying factors such as the importance of the case not being jeopardised, the highly sensitive nature of the crime particularly involving violent murders of children, the effects a live camera can have on the witnesses giving testimony which has been proven to negatively effect crucial witnesses especially in those still struggling with mental distress as a direct result of the crimes committed added to that the relentless hounding of witnesses by the media that can only increase such distress not decrease it, and although frustrating, I think they made the right decision in providing audio only that strikes the appropriate balance between the right of the public to be informed and affording ALL the victims, both dead and alive some semblance of much deserved dignity that I fear televising would rob them of. I'm more than willing to sacrifice images if it provides even an iota of relief for the deeply grieving people, both witnesses AND those in the public gallery particularly the grandparents, at the epicenter of this abominable case.

[@ChristiansPrayingTogether]

Lori has ALWAYS been a narcissist and always will be. Anything she ever did for her kids was to make herself look good. There is no way she ever loved them, she's always loved herself first When she needed money, she had no problem killing them. This entire trial continues to feed her sick psycho narcissism. Chad Dumbbell didn't change her, he just let her monster out of the cage. She's a dangerous evil woman that needs to be jailed for life. I feel soooo sorry for Colby 😢😢😢😢 I'm glad he has a beautiful loving wife, but he will never get over this, no one could. I pray she gets jailed and Colby and his beautiful little family can have a peaceful life without this psycho.

[@LunaCidnie]

What’s this guys point (the cross examination lawyer) ? Two things can be true at once. You can protect your children from an abusive parent, and then murder those same children years later alongside a different parent. It doesn’t matter how great of a parent she was before she dated a cult leader and turned religious zealot, she still helped plot their deaths.

[@maureenhastings8834]

Oh, I guess his murdering mother was a peach since she encouraged him to do good things. I find this cross to be abusive to this man who will continue to suffer the results of her pure evil for the rest of his life

This defense attorney. I want to scream. This is ridiculous. Poor Colby. My heart goes out to him.

[@e.starling141]

It's amazing how every time Colby puts Lori on the spot and demands she answer him, she refuses every. single. time. Like when he says something like "Tell me how everything you've done was done in Jesus's name. Please tell me how your actions were for him." Unsurprising there was silence on her end. (And she wouldn't even have to incriminate herself, she could say it in general terms referring to her actions as a whole.) But she's incapable of that because deep down she knows what she did (and conspired to do) was evil. And only done for her and Chad's selfish desires. I mean it's awfully convenient that the spouses of each them who stood in their way of being together just happened to have both been "demons". Same with Lori's kids who stood in her way of freedom. She's not special or chosen, she's just a selfish and entitled monster who found someone who would feed her narcissist tendencies by naming her a goddess.

Why have the church of LDS been allowed to advertise throughout these hearings? Disgraceful and disgusting on LDS part, absolutely no conscious.

[@richardw3470]

Probably trying to show they are a religion of love and peace (now) not this whacked out bastardized thing Chad and Lori dreamed up while high. The defense atty, like here, questioned her sister and kept asking the typical Jesus, love, etc questions the Christian religions teach to show what Lori believed in and taught her kids when youngsters. So the LDS is advertising: "Call us and we'll teach you the true meaning of a religion with some odd beliefs - but no longer murderous like these two."

[@heatherbeach4696]

I cannot believe this defense attorney is trying to make LORI out to be a great mother because she did normal mom things for Colby!!! It isnt the point of what Lori was like years ago while raising Colby R... The point is that she has a hand in murdering 4 maybe 5 different people after she had a psychotic break a few years ago...

[@sundown777]

Prosecution should have asked Colby if his Mother allowed him and Tylee to spend time with Joe Ryan unsupervised and how often. Showing that after raking Joe through the mud, affecting him emotionally, financially and in many ways that can't be completely listed. Lori was confident to allow visits with Joe, both Colby and Tylee.

[@lynnegackstetter2779]

There was never any evidence that Joe Ryan mistreated either of his kids. This was made up by a vindictive woman. Period.

[@tashaturner4609]

The strength that Mr. Ryan has is insane!! I can’t begin to imagine the pain and confusion he feels....finding out his own mother murdered his 2 siblings and step father (well her brother killed Vallow)....the pain you hear in his voice as he begs his mother for answers! I don’t care if she was the world’s BEST mother before she met Chad-she still murdered her own two innocent children!! Kolbe even told his mother he would take the 2 kids in- if she felt she couldn’t care for them any longer! But she refused....and that makes me think it was about the money. The money Tylee got from her father and any life insurance that was on her and JJ. The lack of empathy and compassion from Lori is sickening!! Kolbe is doing a great job at being the voice for his siblings ❤️.

Colby calls it correctly: Blasphemy. And how does Lori respond? With a hideous laugh. She knows everything that happened. But she will not tell anyone.
