BOISE - Ever since the Daybell case broke over four years ago, Keith Morrison has had one question: was Chad Daybell leading Lori Vallow along or was it the other way around?
The “Dateline NBC” correspondent hopes he will learn the answer as Chad Daybell’s trial begins this month in Ada County.
“The real puzzle for me has always been who was driving the bus. Was it Chad and his way out there ideas he published and she decided was the most wonderful thing she’d ever heard as he told her she was a goddess so she bought into it and went along with what she wanted? Or was she manipulating him? I don’t know,” Morrison tells EastIdahoNews.com.
The veteran journalist has been following the case closely since December 2019 and says few other stories he’s covered in his career “could ever loom larger” in his memory than this one.
“There are a few that come close, but this is a pretty extraordinary tale,” he explains.
Chad Daybell is charged with multiple crimes, including conspiracy to commit murder and first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty. Lori Vallow Daybell was found guilty of similar charges last year and is serving three life sentences without the possibility of parole. The charges are in relation to the deaths of 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan - two of Lori’s kids - and Chad’s first wife, Tammy Daybell.
“Dateline” has produced multiple programs and the ‘Mommy Doomsday’ podcast over the years as the Daybell case has unfolded. Morrison was in Hawaii before Chad and Lori were arrested and has witnessed the shocking twists and turns including the discovery of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan buried on Daybell’s property and the fact Tammy Daybell died of asphyxiation.
“Chad had just been so circumspect the whole time. I doubt very much that he will testify. Why would he? I’m sure he won’t but boy, would I love to see that,” Morrison says. “He laid out so much of his odd philosophy in the things he wrote about and the physical evidence in this case is so overpowering and so disturbing that I’m going to be very interested in what his defense could possibly be.”
Morrison is convinced Chad and Lori are “true believers” in the theology they espouse and is fascinated by the dynamic in the couple’s relationship.
“As we looked into her background, you could see she would habitually develop incredible enthusiasm for a new person in her life. The early parts of those relationships were intense and then later they would all fall apart in rancor,” Morrison explains. “Chad had been laconic for a long time with his wife that to have that sudden intensity inserted into his life had to have changed him. I can see him feeling like he was carried along helplessly on the power of her magnetism and the fact she seemed to be in love with him. He became putty in her hands. That’s what makes you wonder - who really was behind this?”

❤Keith Morrison. He has the most incredible voice.
My son has a distinctive voice. People wanted him to do voiceovers but he never did.
The best in the business....he could read a McDonalds menu and make it sound interesting
He truly does.
He makes the worst crimes listen-able.
Came here to say the same 😅❤
Keith Morrison is a treasure to journalism. Nate is amazing too!
Keith Morrison, when I was 13 and he was tall handsome and we loved him. He was the Canadian Dick Clark at CJOH in Ottawa and you are so right he was likeable right away and like our Nate you just trusted and liked him and his voice was like Lorne Greens ......so glad he and Nate work so well together and is following these horrific trials.
Keith Morrison & Nate Eaton my two favorite journalists in the business...Keith's breakdown of Lori Vallow & Chad Daybell spot on!!
David Muir too.
Lori loves to put on a show for the cameras. Chad does what he does best... sits there like a bump on a log. I can't stand him.
Throwing it all on cult mom. If he is quiet enough maybe people will accept that explanation. Not me and not you.
I can't stand him coz he had 4 people murdered to eff a pretty blonde.
She thinks she's in a beauty pageant still! 😂
Do we know who killed the kids…Chad or Alex? At least one of them is gone for good,….and now the other one will also be sent to hell….
Ohhhh Lori was always Lori…she changed with him. I think he convinced her that her kids “had to go”. She’s just ditzy…he’s evil and thus she became evil too.
I wonder if CHAD is rating all the potential jurors on the light and dark scale. 🤔
😂😂😂
That’s a rather creepy, disturbing thought.
Making a list as the day goes by!
Chad looks like he is wondering whats for lunch
I wondered that too 😅😅.
Lori's demeanor immediately after Charles Vallow's murder tells you everything you need to know. She is casual and joking with the police and takes JJ to a drive in before school. No emotion about Charles whatsoever. Her cousin Meagan sums lori up in her interviews. Complete narcissist.
& her parents fueled the narcissism, that’s probably why there not going to any court proceedings l…there ashamed
I think both of them are to blame. Each of them had their own issues and then together they become a bigger monster.
I Agree!!
folie à deux
I think Nate is such an extraordinary interviewer. He never interrupts the guest…amazing! And Keith Morrison! An Icon…brilliant…no bravado…just the facts and the story.
Chad was telling people that Tammy was going to die young before he met Lori. He was already planning to get rid of her and replace her with someone else. On the other hand, Lori might have had Joe Ryan killed by her brother. They are too bad people with a veneer of religiosity who got together to justify the evil that was already present in both of them.
Lori had alot of deaths (murders) around her before she met Chad. He’s definitely weird but I do think Lori manipulated alot of what happened same as she did to Alex. She is definitely psycho 😳
I agree. He strikes me as a Kevin Franke type, a follower in this situation, in my humble opinion. Nothing wrong with following in many situations, but not this extreme lifestyle based on Visions of Glory.
Exactly..and she'd plan their deaths to be a income..life insurance..so her saying it was about light/dark crap..no..it was about money
Nate Eaton and Keith Morrison....what could be better? A true crime/ courtroom junkies dream come true!!!
Chad and Lori both manipulated each other. Each one had their own agenda, and caught up in these weird philosophies/prophecies, which mixed together created these two murderous evil monsters.
#Justice4Tammy
Yes, they were a folie a deux.
Two of the best here. Epic voices.
Nate ~ I am so proud of you and the way that you have covered this story. I do not live in Idaho, nor do I have any ties to the area. Many years ago I stumbled on you spreading holiday cheer. The video's are heartwarming. I became a fan of your stories. The Daybell story is a whole different type of story than how I came to know your work. You have had a storied career and an interview with Keith Morrison must surely be one of the highlights. Thank you for all you do.
They fed off each other
Definitely! Apart they may have never hurt anyone, but together they were a very deadly combination
Back in 2007, Lori masterminded a failed attempt by her brother Alex Cox to kidnap and murder exhusband #3 Joe Ryan (Tylee's dad). Alex was not able to fully incapacitate Joe with the taser, and Joe escaped and Alex went to jail for a year.
The french phrase, folie à deux, is perfect for these two. Crazy together.
I would absolutely LOVE to read a book by Keith Morrison!
Me too‼️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻‼️
Especially if he narrated the audiobook!
Keith...write a book about human nature. No one could tackle that subject like you.
Excellent suggestion 👍
The public interest is there, it’s just that choosing the jury is boring to watch.
No cameras in Loris trial thus more showing for hers
Let us not forget that Chad’s crimes are not worse than Lori’s because he is facing the death penalty and she did not. Lori merely escaped that fate on a technicality because she refused to waive her right to a speedy trial. Chad waived his.
Chad's charges actually are slightly worse than Lori's charges because Lori was only charged with conspiracy to murder Chad's wife Tammy but Chad was charged with conspiracy to murder Tammy PLUS Tammy's murder. Chad was present during Tammy's murder and the evidence suggests he may have been a hands-on participant in Tammy's murder but Lori was careful to be thousands of miles away during Tammy's murder.
That’s not the reason he only got death penalty and not Lori!!!
Hers was revoked due to evidence not turned over too close to trial and judge didn’t want more delays so took death away to get to trial!
@@Juke582 um, that would be the technicality I referred to. Had she not opted for a speedy trial her attorneys could have taken longer to view the evidence.
I don’t think their narcissism would allow them to just plead guilty.
Chad will never admit to his children that he murdered their mother. He will play this out to the end.
They can't prove it was him either. Maybe he let Alex in to do it. Maybe he will say he was sleeping and maybe Alex broke in. I really will be surprised if they can prove 1st degree murder. Should have just charged with conspiracy bc he obviously knew about the kids buried in the yard. Otherwise I am really worried he might get off
@@CarlottaTrouble Her autopsy report showed signs she had been physically restrained at the time of death......Chad has placed himslf beside her at the time of death, he stated many times he was "sleping" beside her all night. Pretty damning evidence imo.
@@CarlottaTroublego get help.
Denial is not okay.
@@63Clocks I hope so
@@63Clocks We shall see. 1st degree requires proof of premeditation right? Can they prove it WASN'T ALEX or it WAS PLANNED? BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT 🧐
Keith Morrison is one of the best storytellers of true crime, I listen to Datelines podcasts every day and he has such a soothing voice. Thanks Nate for interviewing him. ❤
Chad may be quiet..But he was with Tammy when she died..Not sure of Alex's input but regardless Chad was there...AND the children were BURIED on his property...NOT sure how Chads kids can still remain in that house...CRAZY
Psychopaths are typically charming and magnetic. Looking at you Lori Vallow
Keith being a Canadian would remember his coverage of two horrific 🇨🇦 storylines. Colonel Russell Williams and Paul Benardo / Karla Homolka aka Barbie & Ken murderers.
I want to know what Chad said to his defence team to explain the bodies buried in his garden. They would be very foolish to think that Chad was unaware, so am keen to know what his defence is.
I see it going one of two ways:
1) He didn't know that Alex had snuck into his backyard and buried the bodies (the same way Alex snuck into his house and smothered Tammy without waking Chad who was sleeping in bed next to her), or
2) Scary Alex showed up with the bodies and forced Chad to let him bury the bodies, maybe threatened to kill Chad, and Chad was too frightened to refuse or to call the cops.
Chad on the phone with Lori as the police searched the yard. He knew exactly what they'd find.
Chad Daybell is one person we’ll never have to worry about hearing Keith say, “He lit up the room!”
@@uncgirl bahaha omg too true
Two amazing journalists right here. Thank you guys xx
Keith is The Best!
Love Keith! Thank you Nate for bringing to us this evening.
I would love to meet Keith Morrison, but if he showed up at my door, I'd immediately text family and friends to see that they were OK.😉
Chad was a player, it was Melanie before Lori. Having lori worship him was too good an opportunity for Chad to pass up. So he orchestrated this whole deal to have her. He's one dirty devious fantasist.
Whenever I used to see Keith I was reminded of Bill Hader doing an impression of him on SNL and it made me smile. Now I can't get the video out of my head when he was a broken man after Matthew Perry's death.
I LOVE Keith Morrison! So glad you had him on here! He's an icon!
Keith Morrison is a National Treasure!! I love him! He does amazing work! And that voice!!!! Thoughts and prayers to you and the rest of Mathew's family and friends, the world mourns with you!
Two great men here! Love you Keith and your voice as you tell a story, you reel us in every time! As always Nate, thank you for all you’ve done to bring these events to us.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’d listen to Keith read a menu
Love Keith Morrison ❤❤❤
What a lovely, gentle respectful man. Great interview! ❤
Thank you, Keith, for the Vonnegut quote. ;) ❤
Sending you and your family peace, love, and healing energy, Keith. 🙏😇💫 We love Matthew and will continue to honor his beautiful memory❣️
Chad determined who was dark and light and zombied. He was the bus driver imo.
I just love Keith Morrison as a journalist,in my opinion ,he is brilliant .I’m 80 years old so I remember them all !😊❤
Keith , you are the Rock Star 👏👏🙌❤️❤️❤️
I so wish Keith would narrate audio books. Truly my favorite voice on the planet
Justice has been served with Lori. And we have heard the case details. So interest is going to be less because some of our questions have already been answered. Before Lori’s trial we had soooo many questions.
Wasn't Lori sent to AZ. for a 2nd trail there?
Yes
Agree, I wonder what new details will come out now though.
I think there is a lot of interest just nobody wants to watch jury selection. I will watch the trial when it comes.
A true believer in what? Killing children? Collecting insurance money? Give us all a break!
I think Keith Morrison would have a lot of Good to say in a book.
Nate you truly bring the best. Your friendship with Mr.Morrison is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing. You are as good and kind as he is. The voice is all that differs. What a pleasure for you to share this with us. Rest when you can, take good care and thank you for all you do for us.
I could listen to keith the silver fox all day
He wrote the books before he met her.
But writing his religious garbage and actually enacting it are two very different things
@jessice293 not really. Many have taken their religious beliefs to extremes. Jim Jones and David Koresh, to name a few. Ruby Franke, too. All religions are cults.
@@jessice293he got caught with Lori.
Who's know what's he's done that he hasn't gotten caught.
Nate is a excellent interviewer 😍🤩
Both are evil! What one didn’t think of the other one did!!Both are guilty as sin ! Period
I'm gung-ho to go with this trial!!@ The difference is that he didn't kill his own children.
No but he had a hand in killing her kids... He was the one rating them light to dark. Chad's hands are not clean.
No. He just killed his own wife.
YET. I wonder if they were next.
I have thought about this many times as well.
Only if Chad would make money off of them dying, same as how Chad or Lori made money off of the other people they killed. Too much work otherwise.
People close to Lori have died. Death penalty.?
She can never get the death penalty.
@@Ausgar-yc1yl She’s up for trial in Arizona for Charles & faces the death penalty there I believe.
There was some delay in getting documents to Lori’s attorney, so the state had to take the death penalty off the table.
@@sionnach3104 NO, she does NOT face the death penalty in Arizona, and she is NOT up for murder in Arizona, she is charged with conspiracy to commit murder, and that is not eligible for the death penalty.
@@Ausgar-yc1yl Thanks for clarifying. It was mooted after the last trial but I just looked & you’re 100% right. 🙏
So sad a mother could do this to her children.
*I think Chad is far more psychotic, narcissistic and manipulative than he has been credited.* I think we will discover Chad was the mastermind, even though the defense will blame everything on Lori and Alex, and present Chad as the victim.
I agree he's going to try throwing her under the bus.
Chad gave blessings to Lori all the time giving her guidance.
Yes....
Lori believed since she was little that she was special perhaps a Goddess
I think Chad saw that mental weakness in her and used it to his advantage to spin his evil ways. They became to peas in pod.
And hence the downward spiral into darkness, brainwashing, mystery and murder. They committed the ultimate betrayal of murder against their loved ones in the name of their religion.
Hands down!! He's sickening!!
🤣😳😂
I love when the older is mentoring and encouraging the younger.
Chad can’t put the death of his wife on anyone BUT HIMSELF.
And kids being 'dark' and in his yard is 100% him.
This was awesome! Thank you Nate, sending ❤from Oklahoma
Keith Morrison is a Treasure, to People Worldwide.😌
Thank You from 🇦🇺Australia Nate for this wonderful interview.
I would read a book written by Keith.. 😅
Me too! But I’d prefer the audio if he narrated! Great voice.
I think jury selection is boring for most people. Once the jury is seated, many more people will tune in
I think more will tune in for the trial it's just he's so creepy
Keith Morrison is being modest and humble to say he doesn't have a story to tell. Wow...his wall of pictures begs to differ.
I would read keith Morrison's book! He is an incredible journalist and I love his contributions to Dateline.
I remember when Keith Morrison was on our Canadian TV channel reporting the nightly news. He has avery distinct voice with a tone of compassion
Yayyyyyy Keith
It all boils down to *"The Storm"*
🤢
@@colette343
I agree..
🤢
Lori led Chad by the STORM….
My Sense is they were two peas in a pod! However, Lori did have a dead husband , was motivated of Status quo: long before she met Chad!
I would read a biography on Keith Morrison any day.
He was step dad of Matthew Perry of Friends.
He's step dad of Matthew Perry of Friends.
I appreciate how Nate let's his speak without talking over them. Very good reporter. It's a shame we don't have anyone like him in the so called mainstream media.
Great interview ❤
I think people are giving Chad too much credit. He's a weird doofus. A dime piece came along and he followed her. If it was his plan his children would be dead too. Lori was in control.
I very much agree with you!
Really interesting insights Nate and Keith
I always liked watching Keith Morrison on Dateline, he is a very good journalist and has a great voice for that kind of show! From AKRON, OHIO 😊😊
I love this man, his voice, his presence and I believe he is such a good person. Keep going Keith, write the book, millions would read❤️
Doubt he was offered a plea deal with evidence.
Crazy how when he describes Lori Vallow he’s pretty much describing a sociopath
Yet none of his prophecies have come to natural fruition
Keith and Nat 👍
Lori tried to have jo Ryan killed long b4 she met Chad. Them meeting was a match made in hell.
Kids take it to whole other level, especially with how brutal they were to the kids.
I could listen to Nate and Keith for hours. Thank you both very much
Great video Nate!
Great sharing. Two wonderful wise respectful men. No drama, loved it.
Murder in Hollywood Hills! Got it! Will be listening to it next! 👋🏼 Keith 🦚
The 2 best journalists in the business. From Weirton West Virginia ❤
Chads lawyer says Chad wants to tell his story so I think he will testify
I really enjoyed this episode. I can tell, you both admire each other. I love it.
Nate! You’re the best!
Lori was driving the bus ... but he is just as much guilty because he did it. ... and he conspired to do it.
Im here to say to a fellow Laguna Beacher im so sorry Keith for you snd your families loss (. Matthew Perry )God Bless you all. Cherie🌺
Yes, Keith I am so sorry for your loss. I loved Matthew Perry, my favorite friend!!! ❤❤❤
I would read a book Keith would write. I much rather listen to his beautiful story telling.
❤ Keith and Nate excellent video thank you for all your hard work. Thank you Always Donna Barnes ❤
I would read it, Keith. Especially if you do the audible for it too.
I am sure that there are many folk who could get swept along on a wave of euphoria when they hook up with a new love-interest, but how on earth does that lead to actually being able to kill someone, and burying children who have been murdered in horrific fashion.. it is beyond comprehension.
great interview, I really appreciate both of your perspectives!
thanks for this Nate. I just love Keith Morrison, I could listen to him all day!
We're not glued to the TV yet kuz it's jury selection! It's boring! First day of Chad Daybell's trial there will be so many eyes on this!! We've waited so long! So, hurry up and pick a great jury!! ❤. PS. I no longer support the death penalty. It's Barbaric!
Why is it barbaric?
I also would definitely read a book written by Keith & especially would love to hear him narrate it as well as any audible books. I appreciate his capability to return to his career despite his grief. Its his enormous tribute to his son as well as his professional ness. And I might add, I love this collaboration with Nate.
Keith and Nate?!? Heck yes!!!
