It’s difficult to stand up to a gaslighting narcissist. Summer did a remarkable job. Just heartbreaking.

Here is what I find very odd about Lori's coldness. Normally when a loved child dies, regardless of the circumstances, parents grieve terribly....even if they have assurance that the child is in heaven. The grief for a dead child lasts a lifetime. OK, if Lori truly believes she was releasing her kids from demon possession, and truly believes they are in a better place, and truly loves them, would she not still grieve for them? Does she not miss them? Why does she have zero emotion for her dead children? Evidently she believes she will see them again, but so do most parents whose children die. That does not stop the grief. Believing she saved her kids from some horrible earthly fate should not keep her from grieving their loss. Lori has NEVER shown an ounce of sorrow over the loss of her kids. How does she expect anyone to believe she loved them in the absence of any grief? If I was on the jury that would be a HUGE red flag. Her lack of grief shows she does not believe her own lies. She wanted those kids dead and it wasn't because she was concerned for them, It was because they stood in the way of HER happiness, and her lack of grief proves it. It didn't bother her one bit to have them killed, and it still doesn't. PURE EVIL.

Victims that I think are often overlooked are Charles Vallow's sons. They lost their father, and they were related to Tylee and JJ for all those years before Lori met Chad and ran off. I hope that the trial is publicized and that they get justice in Arizona.

It's satisfying that Lori was made to hear the words Summer said, twice.

Summer’s voice is the pure example of heartbreak and deception. I feel so bad for her.

This courageous Lady has totally redeemed herself , since that interview with her Mother before the kids were found. She is confronting Lori, like the rest of us , wish we could .

Summer cries and wails like a grieving mother, while Lori stays icy cold. No love, no pain, no remorse, no heartbreak, nothing. But she does repeat the same few sentences in every phone call - "no one knows what I am going through, I did everything for those children, I took care of them, no one knows what happened, everyone is judging me." It is all me, me, ME. It is, it was and it always will be only about Lori, the goddess. Her children were a part of her perfect mom image, but the moment she wanted freedom and her maniac cult guru provided her with an excuse, she got her vile brother to murder them and dispose of them in a most bestial way. "No one knows what she is going through?" She is going through NOTHING. Malignant narcissists CANNOT LOVE and tgey do not feel remorse. It is a medical fact of psychopathology. They only use those around them. Lori Vallow is not going through anything, except the rage that she got caught and that her toxic fantasy of fuc*ing around Hawaii with Chad and pretending she is an "exalted goddess" is over. Both Chad and she should face the death penalty. No other sentence, including life without parole, is enough. (And I was always against the death sentence.)

OMG…her apparent heartbreak had me crying. She is sobbing uncontrollably in this call and it’s just unfathomable to even try to imagine the depth of pain Lori has caused to all that has lost a loved one in this terror.

My hat goes off and my heart goes out to Summer! She told Lori how EVERYONE feels about this case, every point that we don't understand, and every question that we've wanted answered. She somehow managed to find those words even though she was in so much pain from learning the truth about her sister. Thank you Summer!! ❤❤❤

If her children were what she “loved more than anything in the world” then I don’t even want to know what she would do to those she hates the most in the world.

I lost a 12 yr old niece to a murder. I was angry but yet sad. Lori is absolutely sickening her coldness. It's OK with her to murder her children. I pray prison Justice is served as I pray for prison Justice for my niece. Life without isn't good enough for these evil people‼️ I feel for summer and the families 💔 😢 THESE CULTS ARE DISGUSTING ‼️

I realize it took a lot of bravery for Summer to stand up to her sister, Lori....God bless you Summer..hope you read this and I believe you did the right thing. JUSTICE FOR JJ, TYLEE, CHARLES, TAMMY, AND JOE RYAN.

Man lori and chads bullshit will have a terrible ripple effect for generations. I still cant belive they took the death penalty off the table smh

Summer should question whether Lori protected the kids from Joe Ryan or helped Lori keep the kids from Joe Ryan. The social worker was convinced Lori was prepping the kids with an abuse narrative and made that part of her official observation.

It's very cathartic to hear Lori getting screamed at, I've yelled most of the things Summer said to Lori in that call into the ether while learning about this case. But it's still so heartbreaking, I feel for the people in her family who've loved and supported her only to find out who she is and what she's capable of. No one would assume that their loved one is as cruel and heartless as Lori has revealed herself to be.

It’s hard to believe how anyone can be so cold blooded. I honestly think the jury has heard enough about this psychopath.

Summer’s testimony and her recorded feelings strike my empathy. I know how it feels to pour your emotions out to a robot who you trust. I’m sorry, to all of the people who trusted Lori, Alex, or Chad.

It seems Summer is one of a few sane people in this family. Wow! She was able to make statements and ask questions of Lori in the midst of a emotionally charged call with great clarity.

What gets me is how soon after moving to Rexburg that the kids were killed, especially Tylee. She had only been there barely over a week. Lori and Chad definitely did NOT want her there. Then JJ was only a few weeks later. They didn’t stand a chance.

Titles slightly misleading. Summers testimony starts at 17min in

This is gut wrenching. Summer's anger & devastation and sadness is right up in your face. Bless her. That's real pain , and it's very obvious. And yet after all the time that's past, Lori vallow shows zero remorse. 🤬 Shes the epitome of evil.

Everyone thinking The Cox were on her side, Summer has just redeemed herself.

Oh my heart💔... her pain was palpable when she was crying and wailing to her sister about what she did...😣 I pray she finds comfort in ways that are possible and some semblance of peace one day...

Sad, but this case should have the death penalty. I don’t think the public should have to pay to keep her in prison for the rest of her life. She has already done so much damage to so many families. I especially feel for Chad’s 5 kids. Not sure they would want to keep the Daybell name.

Wow. This woman is a piece of work. She deserves to be put in a box forever and left there. She's a psychopath and fooled people all her life. She's pure evil. Poor little Lorie, what she's been through? Arrested development acting like a teenager.

Dude???? Her sister went off! I felt every bit . Good for her. What a total evil mfer fr fr

Her emotions are palpable. What a horrible situation.

Nate!!! AFTER Lori said she got married months after the kids died she added " I didn't want to be alone". So. . she got married bc Tylee was at BYU Idaho and JJ was with Kate and Larry, leaving Lori ALLLLL ALONE?!?!?!! WHY did she say that to Summer if she didn't know the kids were gone?! That should come back to bite her, too, IMO 👍

That was pure emotion from her sister. We see who got the heart

I am absolutely fed up of Lori getting her own way this is painful to hear Summer you are so so brave

It’s like the poor sister was talking to a block of ice…heartbreaking 😢

Of all the testimonials we have heard to date, nothing prepared me for Summer's call with Lori. Her testimony hit me the hardest!

Judge Boyce should not have banned cameras in the Courtroom. There should be a LAW that permits to be transparent in the Courtroom to the Public....jmo

Nate, just watched your LIVE from tonight. Thank you so much for these daily wrap-ups. I've been following this case since the 911 call of Zulema's son about Alex. (I live in Gilbert AZ.) Thank you for your honest reporting with no hype.

I have followed this since day one, I cry for Tylee and JJ. I have a place in my heart for them. I remember all the exact emotions from the time they were missing, found, and the emotions now. It’s hard for me to understand how, even a sister, could continuous stress how much she loves the person who did this. Lori Daybell was not “deceived”- she is pure evil. I believe she’s been manipulative, and had a dark side her entire life! This is not about “callings” or religion, this is not about scriptures! This is about wanting to go live a free life, with a load of money in her hands! The exact same is with Chad! Alex has always been evil as well! They knew exactly what they were doing and never thought they’d get caught!!! HOW DARE LORI SPEAK THE NAME OF GOD!!!

Summer's testimony starts at 17:10

I wonder what the Mormon church has to say about all this evil

Summer: absolutely hysterical on the phone Lori: I’m sorry you feel that way 😕

I can't imagine the trauma that Summer is going through after her siblings murdered her niece, nephew, and brother in law. My heart breaks for her, I hope that one day she is able to find peace, healing, and happiness.

Omg I remember this lady & her mom on 48 Hours defending Lori. Lori has broken so many people, Lori's talking about HERSELF & what she's withstood during her sister's tears

So heart breaking to hear this phone call. It is obvious that Lori is off the deep end.

I think Lori and Alex have killed before.. in fact, I think they've done a lot of bad things and got away with it... that's why they thought they could get away with killing 4 people... they've done it before... Lori is a sociopath... no doubt... her poor sister is just now finding out....its so sad...

You mentioned Lori’s mention of being married ‘months later’ after the children were killed. Did anyone notice on her phone call to her oldest son, she really got heated about having to take care of the children ‘all by myself’. I think that’s significant. She had lost her cool when she said it.

“Do you think I want to be alone?” Says the murderess who had her husband killed. Like the kid who kills his parents and complains that he’s an orphan. Narcissistic sociopath.

The screaming at Lori sounded like music to my ears.

Omg she can’t even catch her breath with her agony… this is so tragic… I pray with all of my soul she can find peace in life again and same for the grandparents…. 🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏

Absolutely crushing. I feel so sorry for Summer~she did a great job in that call & on the stand. OMG it's heartbreaking.

We are complete strangers in tears...yet her cold-blooded sister is as a stone..as ice...Lord have mercy on us!😢 Evil walks amongst us.

18:40 Summer's testimony starts.

This is so heartbreaking and I can’t stop crying listening to this. The pain this family must feel. And Lori’s calm demeanor has me so frustrated.

It's so funny how Lori has always said "you know me"! She told her son that and she's telling everybody that! Her sister is dying and she is still so calm! Because she has no conscience she's a psychopath everybody's just finding that out during this trial! I feel so sorry for her family and the woodcocks also

The fact that Lori didn't tell Summer that Alex died confirms for me that she killed him too.

So heart breaking… Lori and Leticia are so the same … all they are about are themselves. They are so obsessed with themselves .

The defense is trying to to up the professional. What makes me angry is that we all know they're guilty, it's completely obvious but still they try to make the expert witness's look unreliable. There are innocent people in prison like Steven Avery but yet Casey Anthony walks free. Something is very broken in the system.

Seeing footage of her sister before all of this came to light, I wasn't sure the sister had it in her to yell at Lori, but kudos. And... Lori... FU.

I heard "I was trying to go on with life" and "do you think I was supposed to be alone"....THEM 2 STATEMENTS PROVE SHE KNEW THEY WERE DEAD.

Why is the most important interview so short. She also didn't want to answer. Maybe if he pushed harder she would have said more.

Very difficult to hear the audio of the phone call when Lori speaks to her sister

Lori, " Nobody knows what I've been through," she is a psychopath. There's just no way around it

Charles son's need to be recognized for being such great young men. We think of you often boys, so never fear, you will get justice.

" I don't know what to say but I'm willing to listen if you have something to say"! What a perfect opening. (I know nothing, you know everything) Summer has the perfect questions but shes questioning a liar who needs to lie because shes guilty. (PS)"Do you want me (Lori) to be alone? From me: You choose Live Alone OR Live with the man that buried my children in his back yard?

I feel so sad for Summer....It was heartbreaking to listen to her crying...

The family all expressed they would’ve taken the kids. Lori would’ve gladly given up them kids but miss thang was NOT about to give up the monthly checks that came along with them kids

I would hope Summer had an opportunity to comment on her sister’s honesty and treatment of a few good men, such as the late Joseph Ryan, Tylee’s father, and the late Charles Vallow, J.J.’s father. Hmm. Tammi Daybell died weeks before Lori eloped with Chad Daybell. And Alex died the day after Tammi’s body was exhumed? Both of Colby’s stepfathers are deceased, and he has no stepmother. You get my curiosity? The Chad Daybell family is not touched by an angel. More like just touched.

Summer takes the stand at 17:10 if you want to skip to her testimony

So the whole defense will rely on persuading the jury that Chad was a Svengallie and controlled Lori's every action. Right?

After the kids went missing didn't anyone have the where to all to call social services it's ridiculous

Is nobody gonna talk about …. Why isn’t prosecutors bringing up loris response to summer, when Summer tells her for like the third time you were dancing on the beach and Lori says that was months later….. how did Lori “know that was months later” .. ooopsie Lori!!!! 😡

JJ, Tylee, Tammy, Charles Vallow, Mr Ryan and even Alex Cox. Say the names. Let that sink in. Lori and Chad rot in hell.

The prosecutor sounds exactly the same as the judge 😂😂😂😂 wth? This is so weird! Its like an echo

Heartbreaking testimony for Summer..💔

Why do psychopaths even want to have children?

I think it underestimated the sheer fury its sister was capable of despite its attempt to deflect, gaslight as it usually does. Although not religious I found Summer's response to its 'why don't you ask God?' particularly powerful and I think it threw it off balance. It tried the same sh*t with its son but with a better result.

6 siblings, 3 dead, 1 in jail…something is wrong with this family

Oh my goodness! I’m a communications engineer with experience similar to the guy talking about cell networks. I ate that part up as if it were a “prime filet steak and lobster dinner”!!! Good job, whoever you are!!

Its interesting that lori's comeback from the"we would have taken them" statement always is "thats what you say.." I take that to mean lori believes her family say that,but noone would have really done it,and therefore to be rid of them without tipping people off about her real intentions she would have to off them in secret.she didnt think she would be caught

Summer Shiftlet testifies for Prosecution at 17:10

FYI I’ve just found SEVERAL other news outlets streaming this trial w NO REVERB! Nate it’s your sound !

This poor woman breaks my heart i can’t imagine this is all gut wrenching I pray 🙏 peace to Summer her sister is a manipulative psychopath all her family asks for the truth and she can’t say anything guilty can we just get to a verdict

Audio with Summer’s on stand begin at 17:00

Her pain as she talks and just begs for an answer to ease the pain ugh my heart...

Summer is sworn in and testifies after: 17:10 you’re welcome.

This convinced me. Summer pouring her heart out to Lori, and Lori’s reaction...anyone that has a close sister, must have felt the gut-wrenching emotions of Not being able to get through to some one you have known forever.

I would like to hear what Lori's parents have to say now especially about how they treated Charles since this started with him and then the children and Tammy seems they should have listened to Adam

Lori talks to God.. doesn’t Summer get it? What is Summer’s problem? Lori has a mission. The kids are safe. And HAPPY.

This testimony and phone call is so difficult to listen to. What Chad, Lori and Alex did will echo every single day in this family’s lives until their dying day. You cannot rid yourself of what happened. My prayers and love ❤️ go out to the family and friends who are living with what has happened. 💜🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

Perfect redirect!

I believe In Lori's mind, it was 'months ago' because she already accpted her kids were gone, and turned demons/Zombies. long before they were actually killed. She already lost them in her mind. She said goodbye and "set their spirits free" to heaven. She's saying to herself that she saved them and She's a hero. Her delusions are strong.

Summer and Adam are victims

As for obtaining text message logs, there is an easy enough solution to this problem! Call NSA, and make them give up that information. As a taxpayer, I insist that NSA do the right thing and hand over the text logs. It is disgusting with all the data they keep and then when some of it is needed they do not offer it up. Two children, a husband, and a wife were killed here in Idaho. The least NSA could do is hand over the logs that are probably sitting in Bluffdale as I type this. There is always a work around to finding a solution to a problem. This one is easy enough to solve. If NSA is unwilling to do the right thing and hand over the text logs then do we need to still have some of our tax dollars go to this alphabet agency?

They’re going to try and blame Alex for everything! And of course, he’s not here to tell the story! I pray the jury sees straight through her defense attorney’s!

It's true what Summer said if the children's bodies hadn't been found, and Lori wasn't in jail, Lori still would't have made contact with her family. If it wasn't for Kay, those poor children would not have been reported missing, and ultimately found.

I don’t care what she says there is no excuse for killing or having your kids killed,I have a special needs child and I couldn’t bear to be apart from him or my other child, if she was struggling it sounds like she had family that would have helped ,no excuse

This is so tragic so much loss & no one would ever believe that their sibling would be capable of murder. If only people would have listened to Charles, he was begging for help what did the LDS do FA that’s the $1 million dollar question. bishop do sweet F.A . I hope his sons can hold everyone accountable that aided & abetted them the Felony Melanie’s along with Zulema were major players in this cult . I didn’t realise how close Joe Ryan’s death was, imo the first insurance policy collected by the Cult . Why wasn’t Tylee his only child who he fought to see his only benefactor .? How many people had to be murdered. Brandon B is lucky to be alive, Charles had spoken to him about the cult .

I just have to say - Summer is my new Hero! Summer and Colby

Why do the attorneys have such creepy voices???

This woman is guilty, I don't care that pigs farmer Chad dayhell brain washed her or killed those innocent children or her idiot brother did it. This woman lori hands bloody as their hands. Its heart breaking phone record. Her sister is full of emotions and anger,while she talks like a cold heart killer.its all about her again and what she went through. Too bad death penalty is off the table for her.

Heartbreaking

Lori’s “Lolly time forever” email? Her sister that passed away at 6 weeks old that went by Lolly? Everything is bizarre
