    Lori Vallow's Niece Called Her 'Mom,' and Farwell's Twin Texted THIS

    In the full episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke dig into Melani Pawlowski, the niece who was calling Lori Vallow "Mom" as a grown woman with four kids. We cover the firesides Brandon Boudreaux says he wasn't welcome at, the recorded Rexburg calls where Lori called Melani and her new husband "powerful warriors on our team," and the custody fight after Lori's arrest. Shavaun then turns to William Farwell, the twin of former Stoughton detective Matthew Farwell. Sandra Birchmore texted William that she was 15 the first time Matthew slept with her, and William, a cop seeing her himself, did nothing. He later testified against his twin with immunity. Melani has never been charged in the shooting at Brandon and denies any part in it. Matthew Farwell has pleaded not guilty.

    The DeFeo Murders and the Amityville Horror, Part 3 - Lutz Took His Own Stepson to Court

    Three children went into the house at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville in December 1975, thirteen months after the DeFeo murders. They were five, seven, and ten. Twenty-eight days later the family left. Then their stepfather, George Lutz, and their mother put them into a book, a movie, and fifty years of other people's story. The book's cover said A True Story. Their own lawyer told a reporter they had made it up over wine. A federal judge said the book was largely fiction. Investigators found no snowfall for the hoof prints and no police records for the calls. The next owners found original hardware on a door supposedly torn from its hinges. George trademarked the words Amityville Horror and in 2003 sued his own stepson over the name. Christopher Quaratino said George had exaggerated the incidents to profit. His brother Daniel said George hit them. Their sister Missy was five when they moved in. She has never spoken publicly.

    Sandra Birchmore Told Farwell's Twin She Was 15, and He Wrote THIS

    In the Matthew Farwell trial, his twin brother William took the stand with immunity and walked through his own years with Sandra Birchmore. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me on what his choices say about him. William, a Stoughton cop, started an affair with Sandra in 2018, when she was in her early 20s. When she told him she was 15 the first time Matthew slept with her, he says he didn't believe her. In January 2021, with Sandra pregnant, he texted that it was "a horrible idea" and he "can't and won't be in the middle of it." Months after she died, he joked about Matthew wiping his phones. He resigned from Stoughton police during the internal investigation. Prosecutors say Matthew strangled Sandra and staged a suicide, and he has pleaded not guilty.

    Unmasking Gypsy Rose | The Complete Story — From a Diagnosis to a Body on a Birthday

    Start with a wheelchair in Chackbay, Louisiana. End with a body on a birthday. Between them: twenty-three years of fabricated illness, a negative muscle biopsy that changed nothing, a doctor's chart note that was never reported, a murder planned four different ways, a sentence of ten years for the planner and life without parole for the man who carried it out, a decade in prison that drew two men through an HBO documentary, a release that launched a media career, and a death on a thirty-fourth birthday with drug paraphernalia at the scene. This three-part series tells the complete Gypsy Rose Blanchard story across three parts. Part one covers the fraud. Part two covers the murder and prison. Part three covers the release and everything that followed. Every person who entered Gypsy Rose's story left it changed. This is all of it.

    Lori Vallow's Niece Went to Custody Court Saying THIS About Lori

    Lori Vallow's niece Melani Boudreaux was in a Mesa courtroom a week after Lori's February 2020 arrest, asking for her kids back while JJ and Tylee were still missing. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke join me on the custody fight and what her lawyer argued about her aunt. Brandon Boudreaux had filed a memo attributed to Melani's new husband about her being told Brandon needed to die. By November 2020, she was on track to share decisions about the kids again. JJ and Tylee were found that June, and Lori and Chad Daybell were later convicted of their murders. Melani testified for the State at Chad's trial. We ask what it takes to admit you were fooled, and whether anyone owes her a second chance. Melani has never been charged in the shooting at Brandon and denies any part in it.

    The Six Words Sandra Birchmore Sent Farwell at 9:13

    Matthew Farwell’s defense opened its side of the trial on October 28th with a weekend from 2017. Joseph Harris, a vice president at Massasoit Community College, supervised Sandra Birchmore when she worked there as a peer tutor, and he filed a report after she told him she’d tried to take her own life. On the stand, he said he has no specific memory of that conversation. Under cross-examination, he agreed it wasn’t an emergency, he called neither campus police nor 911, and he has no training to evaluate anyone. Farwell’s lawyers say Sandra was stressed and worried about her pregnancy on February 1st, 2021, and the government’s forensic expert agreed she didn’t examine Sandra’s Apple Watch until October 2026. I lay out both sides of the 29 minutes Farwell spent in her building. Closing arguments are expected the first week of November, and his lawyers told the judge it’s his decision whether he takes the stand.

    Lori Vallow's Niece Got Married With THIS Man as Her Witness

    Melani Boudreaux went from a mom of four in Gilbert, Arizona, to living next door to Lori Vallow in Rexburg, Idaho, married to a man she'd met weeks earlier. That new husband secretly recorded her calls for police, and Lori called the pair "powerful warriors on our team." Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke join me on what brainwashing actually means when a mother believes people might be zombies. Melani testified that when Chad Daybell's warning about Brandon tracking her car turned out true, it "validated a lot of the things he was saying." A memo attributed to her husband says she feared JJ and Tylee "needed to die." She still had her uncle Alex stand at her wedding, by her own account. Melani has never been charged in the shooting at Brandon and denies any part in it. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    Lori Vallow's Niece Was a Mom of Four Still Calling Lori THIS

    Lori Vallow's niece Melani Boudreaux had what her husband Brandon calls the perfect life, and within a year of getting close to her aunt's religious circle, she'd asked him for a divorce. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke join me on how that slide starts. Melani's mother got sick when she was a toddler and died when Melani was nine, and Lori made the call. Melani testified she started sending her questions to Chad Daybell through Lori after hearing he could see light and dark in people. Brandon testified he was told he wasn't welcome at the firesides his wife attended. We look at whether her church's belief that God speaks to people directly made her easier to reach, and what the first warning signs look like from the inside. Melani has never been charged in the shooting at Brandon and denies any part in it. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
