The Doomsday Mother

For years, Lori Vallow had lived a life of devotion to her children and her Mormon faith. But when her path crossed with Chad Daybell, a religious zealot who taught his followers how to prepare for the end-times, she transformed into someone completely unrecognisable. 


At first, the residents of Kauai Beach Resort took little notice of their new neighbours, a glamorous blonde and her tall husband fitted the image of the ritzy, gated community. Then one day police came knocking with a search warrant. The couple had fled to Hawaii while being investigated for the disappearance of Lori’s son and daughter.


As the authorities searched for the missing boy and girl, they unearthed more suspicious deaths before the gruesome discovery of the children’s remains on Chad’s property. In a horrifying statement, the couple’s fanatical beliefs had convinced them they had become zombies.


Bestselling author and journalist John Glatt unravels the lethal relationship of this Doomsday couple in the gripping true story that shook America to its core.
