CONVICTED killer Lori Vallow has appeared in her first-ever sit-down interview.
Dubbed the “Doomsday Mom,” the Idaho mother insisted that she and her husband would be set free.

Dateline’s Keith Morrison spoke with Vallow during a sit-down interview where she maintained her innocence while currently standing trial for her ex-husband’s murder.
Vallow told the Dateline host that she’s had visions where she, and her current husband, Chad Daybell, were free.
“I will be exonerated. We will both be exonerated in the future,” she told Morrison.
“I have seen things in the future that Jesus showed me when I was in heaven. And we were not in jail and we were not in prison.”
Vallow appeared in the sit-down interview sporting dark brown curls, ditching the blonde look.
After meeting her current husband through their Mormon church, the pair fell into a path of heartless crime, killing Daybell’s then-wife, Tammy Daybell.
Both Vallow and Daybell have been convicted of killing Vallow’s two children, JJ and Tylee, in September 2019.
Authorities found the bodies buried in Daybell’s backyard in Idaho.
During the interview, Vallow’s only surviving son also spoke with Morrison about how the murders have changed his perspective on the world.
“I guess I was always a very positive, see the best in people kind of person. And then I watched someone that I knew my entire life do what she did. And it just changed the way I view people,” he said.
Ryan said it was hard to grasp the idea that his own mother could commit such heinous acts.
“I watched someone that I knew my entire life do what she did. And it just changed the way I view people,” he said.
“The way that my sister was treated was with hate, that’s not even human to do what they did to her [body], after.”
At her sentencing hearing, Ryan noticed that his mother was wearing a makeshift wedding ring — a hairband wrapped around her left ring finger.

He later slammed Vallow for living in a delusion.
Leading up to the murders, Vallow had told her longtime friend, Melanie Gibb, that her children had become “zombies.“
She explained that the term “zombie” refers to an individual whose mortal spirit has left their body and that their body is now taken over by a dark spirit.
Gibb said she had heard Vallow mention this term on several occasions.
Vallow plead not guilty to the charges accusing her of killing her ex-husband and plotting to kill the ex-husband of her niece.
