BEYOND THE VEIL: Colby Ryan's Jailhouse ...

Hidden True Crime | QCODE
About this episode

Lori Vallow Daybell will be sentenced on July 31st, 2023 and Lauren is traveling to attend. HTC will livestream the sentencing on their YouTube channel http://YouTube.com/HiddenTrueCrime so make sure to subscribe. Lauren attended each day of Lori's trial, and was there when she was convicted of murdering her two children.

While we prep for her sentencing, we've decided to share some never before recordings we made during Lori Vallow Daybell's trial, this one taking place three weeks into the trial, after her son Colby Ryan testified.

A forensic psychologist and journalist (who are husband and wife) explore the inner workings of Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell's minds, as well as the hidden motivations driving a series of inexplicable murders in 2019.

While Lauren attended Lori's trial and plans to attend her sentencing in July of 2023, the hosts continue interviewing and investigating what's Hidden, just as they have been for three years. You can get caught up by listening to our full 'Beyond the Veil" season.
