    Doomsday Daybell’s, Two Self-Proclaimed Prophets, One Lie

    Chad Daybell is publishing “uncensored” letters from death row, recasting himself as a misunderstood, faithful father who loved Tammy and was framed by the media. Lori Daybell is doubling down from prison with a different kind of sermon, claiming she’s exactly where “her God” wants her to be, ministering to women behind bars. Neither convicted killer confronts the evidence, things like how they were carrying on in an affair while conspiring to murder. Tammy Daybell was dead and within weeks, Chad and Lori were in Hawaii getting married. Lori’s children, Tylee and JJ, were found buried in Chad’s backyard. Lori even tried to float an obscene story that Tylee killed JJ and then died by suicide, something contradicted by investigators and basic timelines. This review dissects their ritualized rhetoric of “light/dark,” “zombies,” and “purification”. We’ll consider the psychology that made murder thinkable, and the post-conviction word-fight they have going to control the narrative. Who was really in charge and would any of this have happened if these convicted killers hadn’t met. Why did they pursue “more light and knowledge,” and more spiritual access than the rest of us mortals are privileged to? How power, dominion, control became the fuse on their downfall. #LoriVallow #ChadDaybell #TyleeRyan #JJVallow #TammyDaybell #CharlesVallow #BrandonBoudreaux #AlexCox #DaybellCase #ProfilingEvil Order She Knew No Fear on Get Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult on Amazon or get a personalized copy through You can find our videos on YouTube.

    Chad Daybell’s Haunted Sales Pitch. Letter #7 from Death Row | Profiling Evil

    When a man convicted of murdering his wife and his lover’s two children begins writing ghost stories from his prison cell, you’d think the world might respond with silence. But Chad Daybell , the Idaho gravedigger, self-styled prophet, and now, Death Row inmate, has found a new platform. Through a website managed by his daughter, he’s publishing “Letters from Chad,” little episodes designed to sound like spiritual memoirs, part haunting, part homily, part book plug. Letter #7 is a sprawling tale of cemetery ghosts, mischievous spirits, tingling electrical shocks, and a conveniently timed command from “Grandpa Keith” to start writing novels. At first glance, it reads like a campfire story with a Sunday School veneer. But dig deeper, and you see the true agenda: Daybell is trying to rehabilitate his image by weaving together religion, folklore, and self-promotion into one manipulative narrative. This analysis will pull apart Letter #7 not only for what it says but, more importantly, for what it does. It’s this killer’s strategy of rebranding, denial, and offense against the victims whose families must now watch their killer turn his crimes into a ghost-hunting memoir. #TyleeRyan, #JJVallow, #TammyDaybell, #CharlesVallow, #BrandonBoudreaux, #ChadDaybell, #LoriDaybell, #ColbyRyan, #AlexCox, #Daybell #Doomsday #CultsAmongUs, #LettersFromChad, #DeathRowLetters, #DaybellLetters, #OneFootInTheGrave, #TrueCrime, #CriminalBehavior, #OffenderPsychology, #Gaslighting, #Narcissism #Cult, #ProfilingEvil, #Cults, #CrimeAndCult, #Victim, #Crime #Criminal #DeathRow #Justice #Convict ======================================= 20% Off on www.Newspapers.com/profilingevil  Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolves Order Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

    Colby Ryan Speaks about Daybell Letters, Cults & Family Betrayal | Profiling Evil

    Colby Ryan has carried a burden most of us can’t imagine. He lost his siblings, Tylee and JJ, to murder, and watched the justice system hold his mother, Lori Vallow Daybell, and her new husband, Chad Daybell, accountable. His stepfather, Charles Vallow, was also murdered, and the ripple of violence extended into the life of Brandon Boudreaux. In this powerful conversation, Colby opens up about Chad Daybell’s letters from Death Row, Lori’s manipulative rhetoric, and the dangerous leadership patterns of “doomsday” belief systems. We also explore the deep cost of family enmeshment in cult-like dynamics and the ways storytelling is being used to rebrand convicted killers as martyrs. #ChadDaybell #LoriDaybell #ColbyRyan #TyleeRyan #JJVallow #TammyDaybell #CharlesVallow #BrandonBoudreaux #DaybellCase #Rexburg #ChandlerAZ #TrueCrime #Cults #Justice ======================================= 20% Off on www.Newspapers.com/profilingevil  Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolves Order Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

    Chad Daybell Letter #6. The Second Death and How a Wave Became a Vision | Profiling Evil

    Chad Daybell’s Letter #6 is all about image repair and another near death experience. He walks us from a normal newsroom job into his 2nd NDE, a dramatic near-death experience at La Jolla Cove that ultimately lands squarely in a cemetery sexton role that fits his afterlife branding like a glove. Let’s decode the storytelling tricks of how an ocean wave becomes a divine assignment… how a “grandpa appearing in robes” turns into authority, and how the cemetery isn’t just a job but a stage for spiritual visitations and claims. We’ll talk manipulation, psychology, and why these matter. Then I’ll show you how these letters are setting up what’s coming next. #ChadDaybell #TammyDaybell #LoriVallow #DaybellLetters #NearDeathExperience #Idaho #Rexburg #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #BehavioralAnalysis #ReligiousManipulation #CemeterySexton #NDE #CultDynamics #ChadDaybell #TammyDaybell #TyleeRyan #JJVallow #CharlesVallow #AlexCox #LoriVallow #MelanieGibb #ZulemaPastenes #KeyWitnesses #DaybellLetters #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #ReligiousManipulation #BehavioralAnalysis #CemeterySexton #CultDynamics ======================================= 20% Off on www.Newspapers.com/profilingevil  Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolves Get Notified on "Garden's of Evil" https://play.cdnstream1.com/s/bonneville/cult-files/cult-files-gardens-of-ev-184013 Order Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

    Chad Daybell Letter #5, His Near-Death Experiences Playbook

    Letter #5 is Chad Daybell seizing the microphone. He promises a “foundation of facts,” blames the State for twisting his beliefs, accuses his own attorney of missing cross-examination opportunities, and then pivots to four claimed near-death experiences as the key to making “2019 finally make sense.” Let’s expose the psychological choreography: externalizing blame, elevating theology to evidentiary status, laundering credibility with vivid sensory detail, and using serial “teases” to control the reveal. This isn’t contrition, it’s an engagement strategy and a public defense dressed in spiritual testimony, offensive to victims and destabilizing to the public record. And, it’s still a cliff-hanger for truth. #ChadDaybell #LoriVallow #TammyDaybell #TyleeRyan #JJVallow #CharlesVallow #AlexCox #BrandonBoudreaux #MelanieGibb #ZulemaPastenes #IanPawlowski #KayWoodcock #ColbyRyan #RobWood #LindseyBlake #JohnPrior #JudgeBoyce #RexburgPolice #FremontCounty #IdahoCourt #FBI #NicholasBallance #VanessaMielke #CultCrimes #TrueCrime #DeathRow #Appeals #ProfilingEvil #JusticeForTammy #JusticeForTylee #JusticeForJJ ======================================= 20% Off on www.Newspapers.com/profilingevil  Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolves Order Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

    Chad Daybell Letter #4, Excommunicated or Anointed? | Profiling Evil

    Letter #4 isn’t a confession—it’s a stage play and Chad Daybell reaches for the biggest levers of moral authority in Latter-day Saint culture—mission stories, lifelong service, and the language of persecution. Don’t be confused though, it’s all done to sell his spiritual rebrand from Death Row. Let’s expose the psychological choreography behind it: origin story as moral title, social proof disguised as gratitude, excommunication reframed as victimhood, and grandiose claims of “increased priesthood power.” This is the missionary glow of a self-proclaimed prophet and convicted killer. Pay close attention to how his grievance and the martyr’s arc all seem perfectly engineered to recenter Chad and bury the forensic reality. It’s manipulative. It’s offensive to the victims and their families. And we’re going to show you exactly how he’s doing it. #ChadDaybell #LoriVallow #TammyDaybell #TyleeRyan #JJVallow #CharlesVallow #AlexCox #BrandonBoudreaux #MelanieGibb #KayWoodcock #ColbyRyan #RexburgPolice #FremontCounty #IdahoCourt #FBI #NicholasBallance #VanessaMielke #CultCrimes #TrueCrime #DeathRow #ProfilingEvil #CrimeCon #JusticeForTammy #JusticeForTylee #JusticeForJJ ======================================= 20% Off on www.Newspapers.com/profilingevil  Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolves Order Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

    Chad Daybell Letter #3, When Nostalgia Collides with Forensics | Profiling Evil

    Chad Daybell’s Letter #3 paints a cozy picture of rural Idaho—Salem farms, Indian Runner ducks, family business wins, and a string of fainting spells that conveniently suggest a “natural” decline. But when you put that Hallmark reel next to the forensic record of Tammy Daybell’s death and the convictions tied to this case, the manipulation snaps into focus. We’re going to tear this letter apart line by line and expose Chad Daybell’s psychological playbook. He weaponizes specificity to fake credibility, spiritualizes illness to rationalize, and uses omission as a control tactic. And let’s call it what it is, these letters insult the victims, wound their families all over again, and reek of manipulation. This isn’t remorse. It’s a calculated rebrand from Death Row. #ChadDaybell #LoriVallow #TammyDaybell #TyleeRyan #JJVallow #CharlesVallow #AlexCox #BrandonBoudreaux #RexburgPolice #FremontCounty #IdahoCourt #FBI #NicholasBallance #VanessaMielke #TrueCrime #CultCrimes #DeathRow #ProfilingEvil #JusticeForTammy #JusticeForTylee #JusticeForJJ #MurderTrial #Appeals #Courtroom ======================================= 20% Off on www.Newspapers.com/profilingevil  Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolves Order Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.
