Lori Vallow Daybell is fighting to overturn her Idaho murder convictions—but could a new trial put the death penalty back on the table? Hidden True Crime’s Lauren Matthias breaks down the Idaho Supreme Court appeal hearing, the justices’ tough questions, and the arguments surrounding the removal of Lori’s former attorney, Mark Means. At the center of the hearing: whether Lori’s constitutional rights were violated while she was deemed incompetent to proceed, and whether evidence involving Charles Vallow’s death and the attempted shooting of Brandon Boudreaux should have been admitted at trial. We examine the defense’s push to overturn her convictions in the deaths of JJ Vallow, Tylee Ryan, and Tammy Daybell, Idaho’s response, and what could happen next as the court considers her appeal.

Vallow's grandfather Larry Woodcock after Lori Vallow Daybell's bid to overturn her convictions for the murders of her children J.J. Vallow, Tylee Ryan, and her husband's ex-wife Tammy Daybell.

Lori Vallow Daybell says she deserves a new trial — arguing that her rights were violated when her original attorney was disqualified. The Idaho Supreme Court Justices are taking the appeal under advisement after hearing from Vallow's appellate attorneys at a hearing on Monday.

In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, Larry Woodcock reacts to Lori's latest legal move, shares his most precious memories with his grandson J.J. Vallow and describes his brother-in-law, Charles Vallow, who was shot by Lori's brother in 2019. She was found guilty of conspiracy to commit Charles' murder and conspiracy to murder her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux, who survived the attack.

Lori Vallow Daybell's husband, Chad Daybell, was also convicted in the murders of J.J. Vallow, Tylee Ryan, and his ex-wife, Tammy Daybell. He was sentenced to death.

Lori Vallow Daybell is serving multiple life sentences.

The footage from July 2025 shows her being cited for contraband in prison, including M&Ms, gum, and self-proclaimed “miracle” toothpaste that appeared after she prayed for it.

Vallow Daybell is serving time for murdering her two children, Tylee Ryan & JJ Vallow, whom she believed were “zombies,” as well the murder of her first husband Charles Vallow, her current husband’s first wife Tammy Daybell, and the attempter murder of her niece’s ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. 

Investigative reporter Anne Emerson is joined by Lauren and Dr. John Matthias from the Hidden True Crime podcast to analyze this bizarre video. Dr. Matthias lends his forensic psychology expertise to unravel what we’ve all been wondering since the beginning: does Lori Vallow Daybell actually believe the things that come out of her mouth? How did her psychological profile play a role in her horrific crimes… and how does her mental state affect her attorney’s ongoing fight to overturn her murder conviction?
