Details about Lori Vallow Daybell's extramarital relationship with Chad Daybell are shared on Day 4 of the Doomsday Cult Mom Murder Trial.

Gibb shared chilling insights into Chad and Lori\u2019s belief system, one in which people signed contracts in the \u201cpre-mortal world\u201d with the devil that turned them into \u201cdark spirits\u201d or \u201czombies.\u201d \n\nChandler (Arizona) Police Det. Nathan Duncan began walking the jury through the investigation of Charles Vallow\u2019s shooting death by Lori\u2019s brother, Alex Cox. Duncan said injuries to Charles\u2019 body contradicted Alex Cox\u2019s claim that Cox shot Charles twice in the chest in self-defense.
