Usually, you give the benefit of the doubt before taking action when it comes to someone you care about. Otherwise, the police would indeed receive far too many inquiries
She was all wrapped up I'm it herself. She only started cooperating with the police when she saw they weren't giving up and she needed to save her own butt
Melanie's testimony and phone call to the accused, was probably the most impressive circumstantial evidence given in the whole court case. What a harrowing court case.
Except if you listen to the recorded call it's obvious she was not part of knowing the wearabouts of JJ. When you hear what Lori and Chad say to her back it's even further proof she didn't know of criminal activity at all.
Yes and there are some of Daybells cult nuts are still out there Melanie best watch out after Recording that phone call wich may help to put these two evill devils away for a long time the FBI or LE needs to give her some protection before the trial she is going to be a great witness for the prosecution
I can’t blame her even though I admit I would like to. Lori didn’t show that she was going off off he deep end, at least not for a while. In my opinion Lori and Chad are sociopaths and narcissists
His whole conversation; disgusting. He starts saying, "My sister-in-law..." She's like "I don't know her..." Chad says, "Oh I know.." WHAT? I think they knew she was going to call.
It’s obvious that she is correcting herself and not talking about dark spirits etc. She is protecting herself from looking crazy herself. She was in deep.
Listen to her HOURS of TV interviews and it’s BEYOND DOUBT she is as much of a SOCIOPATH as they are, she’s just SMARTER and more articulate- TERRIFYING!
@@patriciafoster3347 You know this how, exactly? Most of us here see a big trash bag on the side of the highway and think *OMG a body!* Other non true crime watchers think trash bag. 😂 Melanie isn’t binging crime shows, and looking for ‘clues’ or side eyeing her friends. Cognitive dissonance would stop her from immediately suspecting her friends of mvrder.
@@pancakesatthedisco8088 yes, each extremely uncomfortable during the playing of the tape. I thought at one stage they were both going to get up and leave.
Yes, just listening to Melanie describe JJ having to sleep on mattress in the corner of Lori's bedroom is heartbreaking. It's so emotional and those poor children had no one they could trust...I can't imagine.🌹🌹
I have only just learned of this sinister case and am now here after listening to what is happening in court , two years on. The sheer wickedness of Lori and Chad's murderous plan in the guise of religion is truly sickening and evil. Seeing Kay and Larry sitting behind that creep Chad, totally dumbstruck hearing that awful recording, broke my heart. They were right all along, knowing that the children were in danger, especially little JJ. How they restrained themselves in not leaping across the seats and throttling him, is beyond me! For the record, Melanie was definitely next on their hit list. I only wish she had gone to the police sooner. Our gut feeling is never wrong. I hope with all my heart that all those murdered by this twisted pair get justice.
@@Tess-163 So true, the niece is really something else! Thankfully her first husband survived the attempt on his life. How on earth do this many murderous sicko's all find each other?
I thought you meant MELANI, Lori's niece earlier. Yes, you are right! She would have killed Melanie Gibbs for testifying or to prevent her testifying that JJ was not with her, then blamed her for JJ's disappearance. Wow! What a serial killer! She may have done the same to Kay.
I’ve listened to this call several times and it’s just now I caught Lori threatening Melanie’s life when she said you know a lot about the situation and you’re going to be held accountable. If I was Melanie I would have been terrified from that call up until the moment both Chad and Lori were behind bars.
@H A R strange to me that she supposedly knew nothing about the kids but her choice of words were "are you nervous" why would that be what she asked him?
I agree!! Also, Chad is describing Tammy being sick, I think Tammy figured out Chad was having an affair with Lori. And she was devastated! Tammy was a librarian at the school, raised 5 children and was disrespected by this jerk Chad. On another video , I learned that Chad would make fun of Tammy for no reason in front of the children, and they would also laugh at their mother. Infuriating that they are all defending their father!!
Chad and Lori told him that Tammy turned dark and than turned into a zombie. Shortly after she was dead. Melanie knew what that meant. She knew all of it.
She really does indeed ! I sure don't know if I would've been able to keep composed like her, if that condescending jerk was cross examining me in that off manner...🙄
I can't quite put my finger on the look Chad gives Melanie as she comes off the stand. It isn't disdain. It isn't contempt. It isn't hatred. It isn't anger. It looks like FEAR. He KNOWS he is screwed. I don't think the Woodcocks had heard this phone call prior to it being revealed in court. The expressions on their faces, the amazement listening to the phone call and the horror, the understanding that the man sitting in front of him was involved in killing their grandson. I would NOT have the self-control they exhibit. I would have jumped over that railing and smacked him into next month. I would have gone to jail for contempt for a few days but it would have been worth it. Unbelievable.
Very astute observation. You are right. At his core, Chad is a coward. And a bully. Suddenly, this mild mannered petite woman has immense power over him. He failed at his manipulation and persuasion with her. A woman of real moral character who recorded him and went to police with the evidence. It is fear. I feel so sad for the Woodcocks. This was Kay's little grandson and she raised him as a baby. She thought JJ was in good hands with Charles Vallow, who was a good man, solid guy, such a good father for both kids. Then this evil triad, decimates Charles, JJ, Tylee, Tammy... a trail of death. Such a huge waste of good lives. I don't know how Larry sits there behind Chad and holds back.
she got off completely cause of her testimony but i agree with you. alot of them should have been charged! its infuriating watching her. iv seen her interview with the police, nate eaton etc. she is loving every minute of the attention, smiling and having a great old time. the worst part imo is her actually preaching her religious bs. how dare she!!!
@You Mad Bro not once did I call him dumb. He is portraying himself that way as a tool. I recognize that. But his acting/rouse/plan comes across heavy with insincerity and therefore may not be as effective as he is intending. That is my impression and I don’t need for you to see things the same as I do with your own impression. To each their own.
@You Mad Bro I’ve worked 40 years with defence lawyers and know exactly what he was up to. If it had been a full trial before a jury he would have looked to them as a goose. This witness held her own and outshone him almost entirely throughout this long cross examination. The witness freely admitted that she had told the police a lie, had been used by her girlfriend, was very troubled by it and quickly corrected it by contacting the police. Any jury would believe all she said, a credible witness for the crown.
If you think she’s DIABOLICAL here you must watch her 2 hour TV interview! She’s a pure SOCIOPATH and should be in prison herself - she KNEW JJ was in incredible DANGER from their “delusions” of him as a ZOMBIE and she did NOTHING to SAVE that little Boy then LIED knowing they’d done something very Bad to him at the VERY LEAST!!
@forpetessake3532 I don't disagree. I've testified in court and just from a nerves perspective I was a hot mess....and it wasn't anyone I knew was job related. I couldn't hold it together. She knows much more than she let's on.
222radar priors improper use of mic is on purpose!! As long as hes been lawyer,& educated supposedly,you know he is smart enough to talk into it! He just wants & intends to aggravate ppl,make the judge have to tell him how to use it! Prior wants & tries to bully,control,manipulate everyone he can-just to aggravate,harrass! Like his client!!
These SOCIOPATHS used the name of Jesus Christ to suit their DEPRAVED beliefs to justify MURDERING two CHILDREN and various adults who GOT IN THEIR WAY!! This ZOMBIE CRAP was just a COVER for getting rid of two Children who had become INCONVENIENT!!
So you like rude, interruptive, belittling, people who intentionally misquote others in order to get serial killers off?! Wowza. I’m done with Utube today.
Towards the end of the phone conversation you can hear chad breathe out in aggregation then he gives his two cents. He just wanted Lori minus her kids, plus Charles life insurance money. Telling Melanie there are people after her. I'm glad chads ass is sitting in that chair.
And Lori was too blind to see it, it’s sad that ppl try to look for pleasure elsewhere and think the grass is greener. She coulda saved her marriage and been a great mother. Smh
Plus you can hear a pencil on paper, probably Chad telling Lori what to say. Lori is so annoying. Likes to over talk people and her voice is loud and sharp. I could not be around someone like that. I hope she chooses to go on the stand for her trial. Nuts all the way.
Lori is so remarkably self-centered. She completely justifies all of her behavior and if you disagree with her in any way, she’s offended, outraged and labels you an ‘enemy.’ And even if she kills her own children, she has an excuse and “don’t question her.” What a horrible human being.
This is very true but pay attention Melanie Gibb justifies her actions as well she plays dumb she plays ignorant she plays simple and then she's arrogant and smug on the stand
This is classic narcissist behaviour. They always externalise blame. Psychopaths also behave this way. Narcissists often do it instinctively, without realising it, whereas a psychopath is more likely to do it consciously and being aware exactly how they're manipulating others.
Melanie and Lori shared the EXACT SAME BELIEFS and Melanie KNEW the incredible Danger JJ was in from Lori’s statements to her that JJ was a ZOMBIE and “was in the way of the Mission” and she DID NOTHING TO PROTECT HIM!!
I think Melanie only recorded the call and seemed like she was questioning them to cover her own back, she knew what they had done to those kids and she knew the net was closing in. She just tried to save her own skin, awful people make me sick. I hope Chad and Lori burn in hell for what they have done
The call bewtween her and Lori is like two snakes in a pit. Really disturbing to hear them both being like that. What did Melanie gain from lettig them murder people?
Except if you listen to the recorded call it's obvious she was not part of knowing the wearabouts of JJ. When you hear what Lori and Chad say to her back it's even further proof she didn't know of criminal activity at all.
During the interview, they asked Melanie when was the last time she saw JJ and she said that it was late in the evening when she, Lori, Chad, and David were doing a podcast at Lori's home. JJ supposedly has been with Alex and he came in carrying JJ supposedly asleep. Melanie did not see JJ the next morning even though she stayed the night at Lori's house. Instead Lori said that she called Alex to come get JJ because he was climbing all over the cabinets and refrigerator. For one thing, wouldn't Melanie hear this ruckus if he was getting into so much that morning? I believe that when Melanie saw Alex carrying in a "sleeping" JJ that he was probably already dead and that they were waiting for Melanie to leave before they buried the body. They may have even planned for this to happen that way so Melanie would see JJ and think at that point he was okay. That would also help Chad, Lori, and Alex's timeline and alibi. What also bothers me is that neither Chad nor Lori have shown one ounce of grief that these children were found dead and especially the manner in which they were found.
Paul--I, too, immediately wondered about "asleep in Alex" arms. Lori's voice , hearing the Bible read that way and so much more. ....nobody years before had any bad vibes about Chad or Lori?
Paul Johnston I think he was either dead or drugged when Alex carried him in. They just wanted Melanie to see him. I bet after Melanie and David were asleep Alex came back and got JJ. I fact the cell pings show Alex at Chads farm during the night. Tylee was already dead and burned by then.
She knows a lot more! We will probably never find out how much more. She won’t be able to be charged for perjury cause she made a deal with them for her testimony!
I still believe both Melanie’s should spend some time in jail. Especially her niece, she needs to go away for song time and never see her children again. That’s for showing up with Alex after being trespassed. She was given immunity to testify at Lori’s trial and turned around and watched Brandon’s testimony so she couldn’t testify. Time for jail.
You know it finally dawned on me Lori was going to blame all of this on Melanie Gibb!! If Melanie said she had JJ than eventually Lori would say she had him and that Lori had no idea where JJ was.
@@StellaFl if this were true, lori would've signaled that out in the recorded conversation. She called her out on dating her boyfriend before her own divorce went through.....so no...she didn't know what was going on.
@@MariettaFarley Alex Cox's (Lori's bro) autopsy reads that he died of Bilateral Pulmonary Thromboemboli and Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disease. In simpler terms, heart failure and blood clots. Alex's death is the only death that isn't under suspicion or investigation, so far. I do wonder if karma and/or the stress of it all played a role in his sudden demise.
I don’t think, when they get arrested for capital murder with special circumstances, that there will be a trial. They’ll cop a plea to a lesser charge to take the death penalty off the table. There won’t be a trial.
She only came forward because she thought she might get implicated. If Lori and chad hadn’t told her to lie, she would still be silent. And she publicly went around before this court appearance telling everyone she went to the police, not that she waited 10-12 days, after lying, and not until she recorded that call did she call the police. There’s also the other call she made some rando from Facebook, 6 months before the kids bodies were found and she is very flippant about the kids being dead.
Chads attorney in the cross is rude and intimidating. He speaks so fast to put you off and trick you. She did so well. Especially when she told him to speak closer to the mic many times 😂
@@dollymadison2397 no she does not.. she's a conspirator and she's complicit believing that she also was a chosen one over other human lives you Jesus Christ of latter-day saints need to wake up there is no 144,000 chosen people. Get with reality these are evil evil evil people
My husband actually has a chad daybell toad chin 🤮 Thats why he grows a goatee & mustache. He’s quite attractive with facial hair though 🤣 I told him PLEASE never shave again 🤣
The defense attorney states he was distracted by voices he heard in the hall…then literally turns around and ask the witness if SHE has a Dx of hearing voices 😂😂😂😂
In the phone call with Melanie Gibb, Lori almost said “I just needed to use” but switched her words to “I just needed to talk to somebody...” what a piece of work
It's what all narcissists say as an apology. They never actually apologize for their wrongful actions. They transfer their guilt onto the person they've harmed.
She has an Autistic Son HERSELF and yet had ZERO relationship with JJ,, her “best friend’s” son, and ZERO EMPATHY for this little Boy because “he didn’t respond”?? And she clearly DETESTED Tylee - I pity HER OWN children!!
@@george5590 What a REPREHENSIBLE comment to make about a MURDERED CHILD whose short life was such a struggle with Autism and the Sick delusions of his mother towards him which he couldn’t possibly have known how to understand. And Tylee who was her brother’s PROTECTOR before she was murdered and disposed of in a HORRIFYING manner, leaving poor JJ alone and vulnerable. Absolutely Tragic NOT “annoying”!!!
To me, and I'm not an expert in this case, but she is the only one who actually pushed back on Lori. She is the only one (I've seen or heard) that actually confronts Lori and Chad's bull. That was ballsy. So yeah, she's covering her butt but still good on her.
Quinn, ABSOLUTE TRUTH!! She KNEW the DANGER little JJ was in from Lori telling her he was a ZOMBIE and “was in the way of the MISSION “ and she DID NOTHING to protect him! She’s DESPICABLE!
@Mango Roxx that's not true. There was a case one time, a while ago, where a man if I'm remembering correctly, raped and murdered his step daughter. She was very young if memory serves, and when the inmates found out what his charges were, they cornered him, beat him senseless, and then carved her name into his forehead. That way every time he looked at himself, he would remember her. Not every man or woman in jail/prison is a heartless, selfish piece of garbage.
That's funny u say that my brother was in there he said there one thing u don't do is hurt or murder a child they will take care of him Chad better be worried some of those inmates in there don't care
@@kristinatidwell6563 probably soot or ink from a pen. I have two tattoos on my left hand that we're done "prison style" which was basically burning a candle with cardboard or paper around it to collect the soot from the flame, and then the soot was put into water and mixed together.
@@nsxpetes Yeah, the fact that she DID lie about missing children seals it for me. She’s saving her ass. But I do believe what she is saying because of the CYA recording she made.
She knew what was going to happen I wish Melanie would get charged as well. They just need one piece of evidence to charge her with obstruction. Pls let this happen 🙏🏽
What l don't understand is why the Judge told Melanie that she needed to turn her body so he could see her face?? Why did he tell her to do this ? Can someone please explain this to me ?? I have never heard a judge tell a witness she needed to turn her face towards! The Judge.😮😮
@@justmissjamey I learned while following the Watts case, that even years after the case is "closed" new charges can be brought against people suspected of a crime. They can very very possibly be charged with murder at a later date. Remember; this is just the start of what's sure to be a very long and drawn out process.
He's horrible which is not surprising given his criminal past. John HasPriors will drive the jury up the wall with his bullying, moaning and his rudeness.
I totally agree with you. Lori is very manulative, she knows how to work people. The 1st time I saw and heard her talk I told myself,she is something else. She uses her looks and perky self to get her way. Also I believe that her family also swiftly
It’ll. Be interesting to see how Lori explains going from I want to give JJ to Kay to “I gave JJ to Kay”- to Kay wants to kidnap JJ. Hugh? That in itself makes no sense!!
Absolutely. I’ll never understand why she couldn’t just give him to her like she said, if she didn’t want to take care of him which she clearly didn’t 😓
I feel so badly for the Grandparents, Lori's son, and most of all for the kids that were murdered. When Lori says on the recording that JJ is safe and happy, I spit my coffee out thru my nose. What a crock of bull. I really hope we get to see this trial online , and I hope for Justice in the outcome.
I heard that saying someone is "safe and happy" is something that people of the LDS faith say when referring to someone who has passed and is in heaven. The whole case is just disgusting.
Is the grandfather the guy with the big string of beads around his neck? At the end of the short doc I just watched he had a bizarre simile & look in his eyes when Lori was leaving the courtroom (she was smiling too.) Is he also an LDS cult member?
@@cristineconnell7803 Glad someone else is voicing that fact. If LDS, Inc., wasn't such a weird religious cult, there wouldn't be all of these murderous offshoots like these weirdos and the FLDS polygamists, etc.
The all need to go to jail. Melanie may not of committed the crimes but she knew what was going on. She was at everyone of the castings. Come on now!!!
One of Chad's 'prophesies' at least will come true. In his own recorded words saying he was 'told' his life would be split into two halves.First half = freedom. Second half = prison.
Many will be surprised when he walks out unpunished. They can’t prove he’s done anything, no evidence, other than the kids were on his property buried. However, he wasn’t on his property then and they found Alex’s phone pings only being there. He is going to claim he knew nothing about it and get off with it. He’s going to turn on Lori before it’s over.
@@pamelamorris3148 He texted his soon to be deceased wife Tammy on that very same day and time frame - bragging that he had just shot and buried a Racoon.
@@pamelamorris3148 can't possibly get away with his evil wife's Lorie dead children on his property , and poor healthy Tammy suddenly dies , then bad dumbbell collects his wife's insurance, marries evil Lorie within weeks, honeymoons in Hawaii with the insurance claim, I mean u can't make this stuff up! It's all fact!
He won't be in prison long...they are aiming for a death penalty in his case and I for one hope he gets it. Why waste good money on keeping him in jail with free dental care, doctor's care, food and drink, entertainment and so on and so forth and all at our (the taxpayers) expense.
@Swervin’ In My Lane mental illness but mostly "full of the devil",& just works of the flesh! A lot of times the devil is blamed for stuff that was just pure rotten human!!
Ms. Gibb can remember Chad's phone number as well as certain details with conversations yet, she can't remember Lori's address, a home she often. I always felt that Melanie never been 100 percent truthful. This woman was close to Chad & Lori as well as brought people to there congregation meetings! I'm not buying the sweet innocent Melanie. Melanie felt she was next ( because of her knowledge) trust she sleeps well at nights knowing she won't be in prison with those two.
I’m watching this again in Oct ‘23. I was surprised at my reaction after relistening to Melanie G’s testimony. I was critical last yr, but now, I think she did a good job on the stand, and d held up better than I could have with suspicions she had!
I actually have far less sympathy for now then I do now. After hearing the other recorded call, the one not played in court, I just can’t with her. Though I used to really believe her.
It takes a psychotic criminal defense attorney like Prior to defend an equally depraved criminal like the toady Chad. Lori the Black Widow left a trail of dead bodies from Chandler/Gilbert Arizona to Freemont/Madison county Rexburg , Idaho to keep a task force of LEO's busy for the next 3 years. Just glad the judge kept the bond at million, Lori is a very dangerous POS that would without a doubt eliminated more people if she wasn't incarcerated. I'm fairly sure Gibbs knows how close she came to being dead, if they hadn't slapped the cuffs on the black widow. Eventually the toad is going to fold and spill all the beans once other serious charges are added to his current list. Idk, it just seems like she (Lori)may have done something along the same line before, she's a hell of a master manipulator.
-49:48 " I'm sorry judge I heard some voices in the corner" then asks Mrs. Gibb if she's been diagnosed with an auditory disorder. ( Sleezy guy is really playing games with witness)
I truly think Melanie Gibb literally dodged a bullet. I think she absolutely would have been the next on Lori & Chad's hit list. Melanie would then have been rated as "dark" based on that phone conversation & likely would've ended up dead. It was smart of her to make that recording. The tone of that call shifts real quick from Lori seeing Melanie as a confidante to thinking she's an accuser in cahoots with the police & I think it would have been the end of the line for Melanie in Lori's eyes. I'm sure Lori at that point would've said Melanie had been taken over by zombies

@@yourinnerlawyer4035 no you wouldn't
@@ccgb92 yes, I would have. I've been a witness on the stand before, I know what it's like.
‘I love you’ is a kiss of death from those people.
I really like this judge. He is fair and does not allow unnecessary bla bla in his courtroom.
Hang on Chaddy boy, let me finish your sentence..... ‘I just know my life had 2 segments. Before jail and after jail.’
Hey. He is a special prophet. Lololol
😂
LOL
you think there will be an after jail I doubt he'll last 6 months in there won't be no after jail for him
Lori was completely gaslighting Mel G. with her convoluted word salad.
H A R i dont agree, and how do you know this? If she had not come forward they may not have found the kids
@H A R I feel this too
@H A R strange to me that she supposedly knew nothing about the kids but her choice of words were "are you nervous" why would that be what she asked him?
@@JMac-27 i thought that was quite telling also.
Love Pet she didn’t come forward until she knew she was in over her head
I find it hard to believe Melanie didn’t know about the murders. Very hard!
I agree!! Also, Chad is describing Tammy being sick, I think Tammy figured out Chad was having an affair with Lori. And she was devastated! Tammy was a librarian at the school, raised 5 children and was disrespected by this jerk Chad. On another video , I learned that Chad would make fun of Tammy for no reason in front of the children, and they would also laugh at their mother. Infuriating that they are all defending their father!!
I absolutely agree. She knew. She was involved, then got scared when police started questioning and she wanted out.
@@Shaylala19937 How could she know and have this phone conversation? This theory is not plausible.
Common sense says she didn't because this conversation would have never tool place.
Chad and Lori told him that Tammy turned dark and than turned into a zombie. Shortly after she was dead. Melanie knew what that meant. She knew all of it.
She said nothing about being involved in casting. I don’t think she’s as innocent as she’d like to appear
She said she'd been involved in at least 10 castings in her police interview.
She definitely is NOT!!
Why would Lori care about Melanie’s welfare when she didn’t care about Tylee her own flesh and blood or JJ’s welfare.
At some future point Mel too would have for ,some crazy reason , eliminated.

That's funny.

hahaha to funny

when i tell you i gasped laughed 😂😂😂
After that call coming out I has to listen to this again, she knows more than she is saying.
what call?
She definitely knows more.
The cross examination was intimidating. Melanie Gibb handles it well. Hallelujah
She really does indeed ! I sure don't know if I would've been able to keep composed like her, if that condescending jerk was cross examining me in that off manner...🙄
Everytime Chad closes his eyes, I think he is trying to use his special powers to teleport out of there or influence someone. 😂
I thought the same! You know he thinks he’s controlling everyone😂. Sad really.
Yes, and don't forget the end of the world was supposed to be in july 29th ..wonder what the nutjobs think now...
😂
Pay attention to that.. usually means they don't want to hear or accept what they are hearing
Beam me outta here
Off topic, but is anyone else annoyed by Chad's lips?
😂😂😂 His entire face, especially his chin, annoys the hell out of me.. 😂😂
I’m annoyed at his mere existence, he shouldn’t even be allowed to breathe the same air as another human being after what he has done along with her.
Such a hottie!🤮🤠 She left a comfortable life and man who adored her for THIS? Yucks
J Palos ..scary!!!! you need to go to spec savers👓 you not seeing what we are, for sure!!! 👀
He looks like a character on The Simpsons. LOL
I can't quite put my finger on the look Chad gives Melanie as she comes off the stand. It isn't disdain. It isn't contempt. It isn't hatred. It isn't anger. It looks like FEAR. He KNOWS he is screwed. I don't think the Woodcocks had heard this phone call prior to it being revealed in court. The expressions on their faces, the amazement listening to the phone call and the horror, the understanding that the man sitting in front of him was involved in killing their grandson. I would NOT have the self-control they exhibit. I would have jumped over that railing and smacked him into next month. I would have gone to jail for contempt for a few days but it would have been worth it. Unbelievable.
Don’t mess with the grandparents. Common knowledge.
Very astute observation. You are right. At his core, Chad is a coward. And a bully. Suddenly, this mild mannered petite woman has immense power over him. He failed at his manipulation and persuasion with her. A woman of real moral character who recorded him and went to police with the evidence. It is fear. I feel so sad for the Woodcocks.
This was Kay's little grandson and she raised him as a baby. She thought JJ was in good hands with Charles Vallow, who was a good man, solid guy, such a good father for both kids. Then this evil triad, decimates Charles, JJ, Tylee, Tammy... a trail of death. Such a huge waste of good lives. I don't know how Larry sits there behind Chad and holds back.
Yes me tooo!!!!!!!
She needs to be charged as well. She knew very well what was going on and did nothing. She also enjoying the attention a little too much.
she got off completely cause of her testimony but i agree with you. alot of them should have been charged! its infuriating watching her. iv seen her interview with the police, nate eaton etc. she is loving every minute of the attention, smiling and having a great old time. the worst part imo is her actually preaching her religious bs. how dare she!!!
This “oh shucks, I apologize, I’m just dumb” act by the defence attorney is very see-through, patronizing and annoying.
I AGREE! It’s driving me nuts! It just makes him look like an idiot.
I love their back and forth condescending raillery😂😂
@You Mad Bro not once did I call him dumb. He is portraying himself that way as a tool. I recognize that. But his acting/rouse/plan comes across heavy with insincerity and therefore may not be as effective as he is intending. That is my impression and I don’t need for you to see things the same as I do with your own impression. To each their own.
@You Mad Bro interesting take. Maybe.
@You Mad Bro I’ve worked 40 years with defence lawyers and know exactly what he was up to. If it had been a full trial before a jury he would have looked to them as a goose. This witness held her own and outshone him almost entirely throughout this long cross examination. The witness freely admitted that she had told the police a lie, had been used by her girlfriend, was very troubled by it and quickly corrected it by contacting the police. Any jury would believe all she said, a credible witness for the crown.
That defense attorney is a huge jerk! I can't stand to look at or listen to him!
Agreed
Me either.
He's a piece of art alright
Patronising !!
This lady is a baller in court. The defense came off like a complete ass.
Gibb comes off as cold , snobby , overconfident and thinks she’s All THAT just like Lori. They seem to be two peas in a pod -
If you think she’s DIABOLICAL here you must watch her 2 hour TV interview! She’s a pure SOCIOPATH and should be in prison herself - she KNEW JJ was in incredible DANGER from their “delusions” of him as a ZOMBIE and she did NOTHING to SAVE that little Boy then LIED knowing they’d done something very Bad to him at the VERY LEAST!!
@forpetessake3532 I don't disagree. I've testified in court and just from a nerves perspective I was a hot mess....and it wasn't anyone I knew was job related. I couldn't hold it together. She knows much more than she let's on.
I agree. Why there’s so many haters over MG is beyond me.
I feel so bad for the grandparents.
Mr. Prior’s improper use of the microphone is just obnoxious.
222radar priors improper use of mic is on purpose!! As long as hes been lawyer,& educated supposedly,you know he is smart enough to talk into it! He just wants & intends to aggravate ppl,make the judge have to tell him how to use it! Prior wants & tries to bully,control,manipulate everyone he can-just to aggravate,harrass! Like his client!!
We can probably say Mr. Prior is obnoxious, period. Jury isn't going to like the guy
His improper use of oxygen is obnoxious lol
Ya he's a piece of work
5 min of fame & he can't handle it.
It seems Chad is enjoying this....adjusting the microphone, correcting attorney of Melanie's last name, and smiling, laughing. He's so pathetic.
Until his 'wife' rolls on him. He should have done his background research on her....
He's creepy!
Noticed he didn’t correct him when he kept referring to Lori as Lori Vallow and not Daybell. I wonder if there’s trouble in paradise🤔
@@ckayewynn25 Yes! Like he's doing a podcast and everyone's there for him...smh!
Reminds me of Jodi Arias.
The LORD DOESN'T PROMOTE MURDER. THE LORD PROMOTES LOVE!🙏
Are you sure about that? Clearly you've never read the Old Testament.
What's important is to follow the human laws.
These SOCIOPATHS used the name of Jesus Christ to suit their DEPRAVED beliefs to justify MURDERING two CHILDREN and various adults who GOT IN THEIR WAY!! This ZOMBIE CRAP was just a COVER for getting rid of two Children who had become INCONVENIENT!!
I know lots of people don’t like priors style. I think it’s great seeing Melanie face hard questions and not spoon fed.
So you like rude, interruptive, belittling, people who intentionally misquote others in order to get serial killers off?! Wowza. I’m done with Utube today.
@@BBB-rd2qi are those the only two choices?
Towards the end of the phone conversation you can hear chad breathe out in aggregation then he gives his two cents. He just wanted Lori minus her kids, plus Charles life insurance money. Telling Melanie there are people after her. I'm glad chads ass is sitting in that chair.
Oh how I wish I could have witnessed when Lori discovered she was NOT the beneficiary of the husband she had murdered.
And Lori was too blind to see it, it’s sad that ppl try to look for pleasure elsewhere and think the grass is greener. She coulda saved her marriage and been a great mother. Smh
I testify that Chad is a big ol' murderous dud.
Plus you can hear a pencil on paper, probably Chad telling Lori what to say. Lori is so annoying. Likes to over talk people and her voice is loud and sharp. I could not be around someone like that. I hope she chooses to go on the stand for her trial. Nuts all the way.
I'd say she's lucky to be alive.
I agree! After that phone call, she’s probably glad that she went into hiding. They would have killed her too.
Yes.
And her husband too
I agree
@@marianneday3068 wow she went into hiding?
Lori is so remarkably self-centered. She completely justifies all of her behavior and if you disagree with her in any way, she’s offended, outraged and labels you an ‘enemy.’ And even if she kills her own children, she has an excuse and “don’t question her.” What a horrible human being.
IKR she literally thinks she’s a “God” and can do no harm
This is very true but pay attention Melanie Gibb justifies her actions as well she plays dumb she plays ignorant she plays simple and then she's arrogant and smug on the stand
This is classic narcissist behaviour. They always externalise blame. Psychopaths also behave this way. Narcissists often do it instinctively, without realising it, whereas a psychopath is more likely to do it consciously and being aware exactly how they're manipulating others.
She pretty much as human shows how the US as a nation behaves in the world
Melanie and Lori shared the EXACT SAME BELIEFS and Melanie KNEW the incredible Danger JJ was in from Lori’s statements to her that JJ was a ZOMBIE and “was in the way of the Mission” and she DID NOTHING TO PROTECT HIM!!
I think Melanie only recorded the call and seemed like she was questioning them to cover her own back, she knew what they had done to those kids and she knew the net was closing in. She just tried to save her own skin, awful people make me sick. I hope Chad and Lori burn in hell for what they have done
Bingo. John P is going to rip her a new 1 in Chads Trial.
The call bewtween her and Lori is like two snakes in a pit. Really disturbing to hear them both being like that. What did Melanie gain from lettig them murder people?
@@anthill1510 I don’t think we can ever understand their actions as we are wired up right these people aren’t
Right beside THIS Piece of Work!!
Except if you listen to the recorded call it's obvious she was not part of knowing the wearabouts of JJ. When you hear what Lori and Chad say to her back it's even further proof she didn't know of criminal activity at all.
"2020 is a broad statement" Dude, I can't remember what I did last week let alone months ago! I'd be a terrible witness...
K.. Im glad im not the only 1... Watching this makes me feel like i should write down what i did everyday.. Its scary
Lol you too
I was also thinking, damn, I hope I never have to be a witness to anything LoL 😂 you really gotta have a great memory!
Wish I could remember what I did an hour ago
Yes, unless there was a doctor's or dentist's appoint on my calendar!!! LOL!
During the interview, they asked Melanie when was the last time she saw JJ and she said that it was late in the evening when she, Lori, Chad, and David were doing a podcast at Lori's home. JJ supposedly has been with Alex and he came in carrying JJ supposedly asleep. Melanie did not see JJ the next morning even though she stayed the night at Lori's house. Instead Lori said that she called Alex to come get JJ because he was climbing all over the cabinets and refrigerator. For one thing, wouldn't Melanie hear this ruckus if he was getting into so much that morning? I believe that when Melanie saw Alex carrying in a "sleeping" JJ that he was probably already dead and that they were waiting for Melanie to leave before they buried the body. They may have even planned for this to happen that way so Melanie would see JJ and think at that point he was okay. That would also help Chad, Lori, and Alex's timeline and alibi. What also bothers me is that neither Chad nor Lori have shown one ounce of grief that these children were found dead and especially the manner in which they were found.
Paul--I, too, immediately wondered about "asleep in Alex" arms. Lori's voice , hearing the Bible read that way and so much more. ....nobody years before had any bad vibes about Chad or Lori?
I haven't seen Gibb grieving for the children either......
Agree 100% 👌🏻🏴
That's what I been saying all along there faces show nothing it's like she never had any kids
Paul Johnston I think he was either dead or drugged when Alex carried him in. They just wanted Melanie to see him. I bet after Melanie and David were asleep Alex came back and got JJ. I fact the cell pings show Alex at Chads farm during the night. Tylee was already dead and burned by then.
I think she knows more than she admits.
Oh yeah she should be on trial to
oh she was in deep…😢
She knows a lot more! We will probably never find out how much more. She won’t be able to be charged for perjury cause she made a deal with them for her testimony!
I still believe both Melanie’s should spend some time in jail. Especially her niece, she needs to go away for song time and never see her children again. That’s for showing up with Alex after being trespassed. She was given immunity to testify at Lori’s trial and turned around and watched Brandon’s testimony so she couldn’t testify. Time for jail.
You know it finally dawned on me Lori was going to blame all of this on Melanie Gibb!! If Melanie said she had JJ than eventually Lori would say she had him and that Lori had no idea where JJ was.
Bingo! Why do you think she made the recording and now sings like a canary? Hint: It's NOT because it's the right thing to do ;)
@@StellaFl if this were true, lori would've signaled that out in the recorded conversation. She called her out on dating her boyfriend before her own divorce went through.....so no...she didn't know what was going on.
Sadly, this sounds about right. Melanie was being "played"
I thought the same thing.
Bingo! You hit the nail on the head.
She handled herself very well. She is very lucky to be alive after them eliminating every other threat to them.
Good point. Although it sounds to me like Alex died of COVID.
@@MariettaFarley Alex Cox's (Lori's bro) autopsy reads that he died of Bilateral Pulmonary Thromboemboli and Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disease. In simpler terms, heart failure and blood clots. Alex's death is the only death that isn't under suspicion or investigation, so far. I do wonder if karma and/or the stress of it all played a role in his sudden demise.
You called it. Lori says on that phone call, something like: "This is not you talking. Where is this darkness coming from" = "You're a zombie now."
Do you still feel stupid?
Why when she's just as involved? I.mo
She got her licks in by asking him to speak up closer to his mike. She handled herself very well 🤙🏼
Prior is a good defense attorney unfortunately. He is very tough and sharp. Chad’s trial will be interesting.
" You will be accountable for the knowledge you do have Mel".....says it all right there.
Jurors are going to detest the defense attorney.
I don’t think, when they get arrested for capital murder with special circumstances, that there will be a trial.
They’ll cop a plea to a lesser charge to take the death penalty off the table.
There won’t be a trial.
Pamie Miller ... excellent point! And as someone else said here, it takes a special kind of snake to defend a child killer.
Liberty Hussein if they want to stay alive they will! I think they will blame everything in the dead brother ...
1:06:56 defense calls Melanie “Mr Daybell”
All I keep thinking is Eddie Haskel, Prior is a manipulative snake.
Thank you for covering this disgusting mess
She only came forward because she thought she might get implicated. If Lori and chad hadn’t told her to lie, she would still be silent. And she publicly went around before this court appearance telling everyone she went to the police, not that she waited 10-12 days, after lying, and not until she recorded that call did she call the police. There’s also the other call she made some rando from Facebook, 6 months before the kids bodies were found and she is very flippant about the kids being dead.
Chads attorney in the cross is rude and intimidating. He speaks so fast to put you off and trick you. She did so well. Especially when she told him to speak closer to the mic many times 😂
Alex 'passed away' 5 days after that 20 minute phone call. Seems Alex had given Gibb a revealing hint of JJ's demise.
Oh my gosh! I didn't know that! SO MUCH demonic works going on here! Melanie stands confident in the Holy Spirit!
Convenient
Not to mention he died the day after Tammy's body was exhumed.
Alex talked to Melanie, Tammy was exhumed, Chad and Lori found out, then Alex dies suddenly! Too dayum convenient!
@@dollymadison2397 no she does not.. she's a conspirator and she's complicit believing that she also was a chosen one over other human lives you Jesus Christ of latter-day saints need to wake up there is no 144,000 chosen people. Get with reality these are evil evil evil people

This LDS Stepford Wife and her sly smirks is absolutely complicit in the deaths of Charles, Kylee and JJ!
And Tammy.
I agree!!!! ☝🏻
I have thought that from the beginning of her first appearance on the scene.
In the phone call with Melanie Gibb, Lori almost said “I just needed to use” but switched her words to “I just needed to talk to somebody...” what a piece of work
“I’m sorry that you feel that way” is how nice girls say “screw you!”
It's what all narcissists say as an apology. They never actually apologize for their wrongful actions. They transfer their guilt onto the person they've harmed.
Omg I’ve been with two. I’m so thankful I raised my son alone. So he’s twisted. But he’s not one. Thank you Jesus
Mel G is NOT a nice girl.
Guys say it too lol
Or "I'm just doing what the Lord instructed me to do"....
She has an Autistic Son HERSELF and yet had ZERO relationship with JJ,, her “best friend’s” son, and ZERO EMPATHY for this little Boy because “he didn’t respond”?? And she clearly DETESTED Tylee - I pity HER OWN children!!
some kids can be annoying, can't like them all.
@@george5590 What a REPREHENSIBLE comment to make about a MURDERED CHILD whose short life was such a struggle with Autism and the Sick delusions of his mother towards him which he couldn’t possibly have known how to understand. And Tylee who was her brother’s PROTECTOR before she was murdered and disposed of in a HORRIFYING manner, leaving poor JJ alone and vulnerable. Absolutely Tragic NOT “annoying”!!!
@@lindahoffman2692 my answer was why she didn't like her kids? yes it was terrible what hapend to them
To me, and I'm not an expert in this case, but she is the only one who actually pushed back on Lori. She is the only one (I've seen or heard) that actually confronts Lori and Chad's bull. That was ballsy. So yeah, she's covering her butt but still good on her.
Lori’s sister pushed back
The defense attorney and his nasty way will not make any friends with the future jury!
He slammed her. He made her look bad
EXPLORING WITH MUSCLE THE RUSSELL. He Tried to make her look bad, she did well! Even judge was getting piss with this slimball
He was so irritating and purposely played dumb with the mic to cause issues with her hearing him and to posture.
Dana Barciz you look just like that thing on the stand. The succubbbus is real
Hes good though thats what I hate
I can't imagine Lori or any other woman desiring to kiss those wormie lips. You can see Melanie lost a lot of weight due to the stress of all this.

I hope he goes to general population in prison. The guys dont like crimes involving kids . He will get dealt with!!!!
@Mango Roxx that's not true. There was a case one time, a while ago, where a man if I'm remembering correctly, raped and murdered his step daughter. She was very young if memory serves, and when the inmates found out what his charges were, they cornered him, beat him senseless, and then carved her name into his forehead. That way every time he looked at himself, he would remember her. Not every man or woman in jail/prison is a heartless, selfish piece of garbage.

Yep. This is just for the record and he's grandstanding like he's watched too many movies

I’m still not sure how she isn’t getting charged for lying/misleading authorities..
This judge is excellent. So calm, professional, knowledgeable and matter of fact in his tone and comments.
He isnt going to let this lawyer get away with any of his games
I’m so disappointed he’s no longer on the case. He was excellent.
Complete opposite of the mutt attorney for bozo. Ms. Gibb wanted so bad to go off on him but didn't want to be in contempt.
I dont hear the judge saying anything
What l don't understand is why the Judge told Melanie that she needed to turn her body so he could see her face?? Why did he tell her to do this ? Can someone please explain this to me ?? I have never heard a judge tell a witness she needed to turn her face towards! The Judge.😮😮

I don't respect lawyers who need to be condescending and who outright bully the witness. Wouldn't need to if he gad a good case. Pathetic.
He's horrible which is not surprising given his criminal past. John HasPriors will drive the jury up the wall with his bullying, moaning and his rudeness.
I totally agree with you. Lori is very manulative, she knows how to work people. The 1st time I saw and heard her talk I told myself,she is something else. She uses her looks and perky self to get her way. Also I believe that her family also swiftly
Melanie is manipulative too!
Also swiftly what?
It’ll. Be interesting to see how Lori explains going from I want to give JJ to Kay to “I gave JJ to Kay”- to Kay wants to kidnap JJ. Hugh? That in itself makes no sense!!
I think evil Lorie makes it up to suit the agenda at the time
It’s amazing the bs she gave ppl and they bought it 🤷🏼♀️🤦♀️
Absolutely. I’ll never understand why she couldn’t just give him to her like she said, if she didn’t want to take care of him which she clearly didn’t 😓
I feel so badly for the Grandparents, Lori's son, and most of all for the kids that were murdered. When Lori says on the recording that JJ is safe and happy, I spit my coffee out thru my nose. What a crock of bull. I really hope we get to see this trial online , and I hope for Justice in the outcome.
How to get Melanie's hackles raised: accuse her son!
I heard that saying someone is "safe and happy" is something that people of the LDS faith say when referring to someone who has passed and is in heaven. The whole case is just disgusting.
Is the grandfather the guy with the big string of beads around his neck?
At the end of the short doc I just watched he had a bizarre simile & look in his eyes when Lori was leaving the courtroom (she was smiling too.)
Is he also an LDS cult member?

The all need to go to jail. Melanie may not of committed the crimes but she knew what was going on. She was at everyone of the castings. Come on now!!!
One of Chad's 'prophesies' at least will come true. In his own recorded words saying he was 'told' his life would be split into two halves.First half = freedom. Second half = prison.
Many will be surprised when he walks out unpunished. They can’t prove he’s done anything, no evidence, other than the kids were on his property buried. However, he wasn’t on his property then and they found Alex’s phone pings only being there. He is going to claim he knew nothing about it and get off with it. He’s going to turn on Lori before it’s over.
@@pamelamorris3148 He texted his soon to be deceased wife Tammy on that very same day and time frame - bragging that he had just shot and buried a Racoon.
@@pamelamorris3148 can't possibly get away with his evil wife's Lorie dead children on his property , and poor healthy Tammy suddenly dies , then bad dumbbell collects his wife's insurance, marries evil Lorie within weeks, honeymoons in Hawaii with the insurance claim, I mean u can't make this stuff up! It's all fact!
He won't be in prison long...they are aiming for a death penalty in his case and I for one hope he gets it. Why waste good money on keeping him in jail with free dental care, doctor's care, food and drink, entertainment and so on and so forth and all at our (the taxpayers) expense.
@@norlavine which was buried right where they found the children!
Lori Vallow gets a blue ribbon for mental illness.
@Swervin’ In My Lane mental illness but mostly "full of the devil",& just works of the flesh! A lot of times the devil is blamed for stuff that was just pure rotten human!!
Just evil.
I have mental health issues BUT my children r alive n I know where they are n they in their 30 married with children Lori is evil 👿
No, she's NOT mentally ill, she's sly, conniving, heartless,cruel, greedy, narcissistic, cold, uncaring and plain EVIL 😢
Ms. Gibb can remember Chad's phone number as well as certain details with conversations yet, she can't remember Lori's address, a home she often. I always felt that Melanie never been 100 percent truthful. This woman was close to Chad & Lori as well as brought people to there congregation meetings! I'm not buying the sweet innocent Melanie. Melanie felt she was next ( because of her knowledge) trust she sleeps well at nights knowing she won't be in prison with those two.
I’m watching this again in Oct ‘23. I was surprised at my reaction after relistening to Melanie G’s testimony. I was critical last yr, but now, I think she did a good job on the stand, and d held up better than I could have with suspicions she had!
She didn't testimony for free. Her own as. was in line to be prosecuted next... She was Lori Vallow's bestie and contributed a lot to her crimes...
I think she is drugged. Her speech and her confused memory suggest it.
I actually have far less sympathy for now then I do now. After hearing the other recorded call, the one not played in court, I just can’t with her. Though I used to really believe her.
The defense attorney is so slimey.
He looks like a heart attack waiting to happen
It takes a psychotic criminal defense attorney like Prior to defend an equally depraved criminal like the toady Chad.
Lori the Black Widow left a trail of dead bodies from Chandler/Gilbert Arizona to Freemont/Madison county Rexburg , Idaho to keep a task force of LEO's busy for the next 3 years. Just glad the judge kept the bond at million, Lori is a very dangerous POS that would without a doubt eliminated more people if she wasn't incarcerated.
I'm fairly sure Gibbs knows how close she came to being dead, if they hadn't slapped the cuffs on the black widow. Eventually the toad is going to fold and spill all the beans once other serious charges are added to his current list. Idk, it just seems like she (Lori)may have done something along the same line before, she's a hell of a master manipulator.
He's a known sexual predator. Lots of creeps involved here.
-49:48 " I'm sorry judge I heard some voices in the corner" then asks Mrs. Gibb if she's been diagnosed with an auditory disorder. ( Sleezy guy is really playing games with witness)
I couldn't find the comment you mention. @49:48 it's the tape recording.
I truly think Melanie Gibb literally dodged a bullet. I think she absolutely would have been the next on Lori & Chad's hit list. Melanie would then have been rated as "dark" based on that phone conversation & likely would've ended up dead. It was smart of her to make that recording. The tone of that call shifts real quick from Lori seeing Melanie as a confidante to thinking she's an accuser in cahoots with the police & I think it would have been the end of the line for Melanie in Lori's eyes. I'm sure Lori at that point would've said Melanie had been taken over by zombies
“You will be accountable for the knowledge you have”. Is that some sort of threat.
