WWAR For June
Show Notes
As we enter summer, we have two new books to suggest.
Tracey reported on DOOMSDAY MOTHER by John Glatt (St. Martin's True Crime Press).
In The Doomsday Mother, bestselling true crime author John Glatt tells the twisted tale of Lori Vallow,
accused of having her two children murdered to start a new life with her new husband, doomsday
prepper Chad Daybell.
At first, the residents of Kauai Beach Resort took little notice of their new neighbors. The glamorous blonde
and her tall husband fit the image of the ritzy gated community. The couple seemed to keep to
themselves―until the police knocked on their door with a search warrant. Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell had
fled to Hawaii in the midst of being investigated for the disappearance of Lori’s children back in Idaho―Tylee
and JJ―who hadn’t been seen alive in five months.
For years, Lori Vallow had been devoted to her children and her Mormon faith. But when her path crossed
with Chad Daybell, a religious zealot who taught his followers how to prepare for the end-times, the
tumultuous relationship transformed her into someone unrecognizable. As authorities searched for Lori’s
children, they uncovered more suspicious deaths with links to both Lori and Chad, including the death of Lori’s
third and fourth husbands, her brother, and Chad’s wife. In June 2020, the gruesome remains of JJ and Tylee
were discovered on Chad’s property, and the newlyweds were arrested and charged with murder. And in a
shocking development, horrifying statements revealed that the couple’s fanatical beliefs had convinced them
the children had become zombies--a belief that may have led to their deaths.
Bestselling author and journalist John Glatt takes readers deeper into the devastating story of Lori Vallow and
Chad Daybell in an attempt to unravel the lethal relationship of this doomsday couple.
Ann reported on ROSSI'S GAMBLE by Paul Papa, one of the Dark and Stormy Family (STACGroup
LLC)
When Meyer Lansky makes you an offer, how can you refuse? Even if it's one you don't want.
The Highwaymen, a group of grifters and conmen, have come to town and it is up to Massimo "Max" Rossi,
the Sands Hotel and Casino's newest house detective to stop them before they hit. But finding a group that
specializes in hitting quick and getting out fast isn't as easy as it sounds. Even if Rossi does find the
Highwaymen and identify the leader, is he willing to help fill a hole in the desert?
Rossi is forced into a choice he doesn't want to make!
Drawn into a world of sex and drugs, where every move could be his last, Rossi must navigate his way out
before it's too late. He's got to find the head of the Highwaymen, then decide how to stop them without
sacrificing his morals and convictions. If he can't, there might just be two holes filled in the desert.
