Homicide survivors are often hypervigilant and over-predictive of further harm. This is unhealthy and (for most of the country) unnecessary.

Megan Conner has known her older cousin, Lori Vallow Daybell, all her life. They grew up within their tightly-knit, extended family in the context of the Mormon faith. Megan eloquently explains the roots of the triple murders which her cousin was found guilty of. This included the murder of Meegan's niece and nephew, Tylee Ryan, and Joshua "JJ" Jaxon Vallow at the hands of her cousin ("filicide"). The third conviction was for the homicide of Lori's last husband's wife, Tammy. Lori was sentenced to three consecutive life terms. (Lori faces two additional counts of conspiracy to commit murder related to the death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and conspiring to kill her niece’s ex-husband Brandon Boudreaux.)Lori's children went missing in 2019 which set off a national manhunt for their whereabouts. Lori was nick-named "Doomsday Mom" in the popular press due to her religious beliefs solidified in the Netflix documentary series "Sins of Our Mother."Today Megan speaks out in the hope that people will look upon the tragedy in her family as a cautionary tale. She urges others to speak the truth, heed warning signs and get outside help earlier rather than later.
The wind was never at the back of Delicia Niami. She started life in a tough area of East L.A. by a devoted single mom when she (and her brother) were kidnapped by her estranged father and whisked off to Baghdad. She was only four.

It took years for Delicia to find her footing and she bravely shares her journey with us.
