Killer Lori Vallow, 'doomsday mom,' says Jesus spoke to her in spiritual vision, showed her prison release

Vallow also took aim at the media in the "Dateline" interview, saying, "They exaggerate everything, and they make stuff up, and they twist things around."

Vallow added that she is "absolutely" misunderstood.

The so-called cult mom will stand trial in Arizona for allegedly conspiring to kill her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and her niece's ex-husband after a judge recently denied her motion to dismiss the case.

After J.J. and Tylee were reported missing in September 2019 and Tammy Daybell died a month later, in October 2019, Vallow and Daybell married in Hawaii in November of that same year. They proceeded to steal J.J. and Tylee's Social Security benefits after their disappearances.

When asked whether she was at the site of her children's murders, Vallow told "Dateline" in her interview, "I was not there."

Vallow's oldest son and only surviving child, Colby Ryan, is also featured in the "Dateline" episode.

"I guess I always was, like, a positive, see-the-best-in-people kind of person, and then I watched someone I knew my entire life do what she did, and it just changed the way I view people," Colby told "Dateline" when asked how his mother's crimes have affected him. "The way that my sister was treated was with hate. That's not even human to do what they did to her after."

During her sentencing, Vallow spoke publicly for the first time since her arrest in 2020 and appeared to be in denial, saying at the time that she knew her children were "happy and busy in the spirit world."

"I have had many communications with Jesus Christ, savior of this world, and our heavenly parents. I have had many angelic visitors come and communicated with me and even manifested themselves to me because of these communications," Vallow told an Idaho courtroom during her sentencing hearing.

"I know for a fact that my children are happy and busy in the spirit world. Because of my communications with my friend, Tammy Daybell, I know that she is also very happy and extremely busy."

POLICE SERVE SUBPOENA TO 'CULT MOM' SITTING POOLSIDE IN HAWAII:

In her statement to the court, Vallow added she "died in the hospital" while she was in labor with her daughter, Tylee. Doctors revived her, at which point she began seeing spirits.

The so-called "cult mom" was extradited to Arizona in November 2023, about four months after she was sentenced to life without parole in Idaho.
