How in the hell do these people find each other? It's really scary!

[KillerCammy]

Its like an abusive relationship, you wouldnt date someone you know is a monster. It takes time, manipulators know how to find vulnerable people and exploit those vulnerabilities. They dont show you their real face until they are confident they have you in their control.

[starlite]

They all have one thing in common: crazy and evil; there's no other explanation

[sanster]

Audrey's testimony is critical in relating just who Lori is in this conspiracy. Her fear of Lori's threats was palpable.

[phoenixrising]

I just listened to Lori’s cousin taking about how Alex made her come check on “Stacy” the older sister who died… when they went to check on her, she was dead. She knew it was Alex. He also is suspected of killing Joe Ryan.. Lori was already pure evil when she met Chad…

[kimsmith]

If I heard a mother tell me her baby boy was going to have a short life. I would be screaming from the rafters until someone did something! How do all these women fall for this!

[glynn]

Why I believe Audrey 100 percent is because she was honest enough to admit she almost fell for their beliefs although you can tell she was embarrassed to admit it, and so I doubt she was lying about Loris death threats plus her emotions were totally authentic! I knew a crazy person like LV 10 years ago who threatened a child in that manner and no one believed me that she was sociopathic until another person finally heard her go into evil mode and threatened that kid, then they knew she was batcrap crazy!

[tmfsable]

If someone told me I was married to Jesus, I would laugh in thier face. Insane

[candiceparr]

Lori is the malignant narcissist leader. Chad, Alex, and the other women were flying monkeys.

[missycat]

Chad's physical look is soft and pliable. He looks totally disarming. No woman would be afraid of him by his looks. If anything he looks weak. And that's why he's so dangerous. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

[nellieknifton]

Chad with his book ‘One foot in the grave’ made me chuckle. Here in the UK it’s the name of a sit-com featuring Victor Meldrew, a dour old man who’s catch phrase is ‘I don’t believe it’. I hope both Lori and Chad spend the rest of their days, and hopefully there will be many, thinking of all those lives they have destroyed. Wicked people using faith to defend their positions.

[mattie]

Why isn't Melanie sitting in a jail cell for the attempted murder of her husband ?

[nishienish]

So many adults let those kids down what an absolute shame

[joannemurdock]

AFTER Lori and Chad met and got TOGETHER 5 people were dead within months, including Lori's two children!
This was all about money, greed, revenge, lust!
Justice for their VICTIMS🙏🙏🙏🙏

My then 18 year old brother was "taken in" by a cult not long after my step mom passed from cancer. It was extremely scary to see changes in him and the way he spoke was almost scripted, robot like. I am 15 years older than my brother and helped raise him, they had him turning against me telling him they were his only family. Several things happened over the span of 3 years but finally the cult leader had a falling out with his own children and it caused him to somewhat crumble. My brother was around the same age of his children and started to breakaway like they did...thank God! It was a terrifying time to see this happening and now well over 15 years later we can talk about how insane it all was. I'm blessed to have my little brother and so grateful of the man he has become.

[jennmemphis]

I hate these people. Especially her. Those kids had loving grandparents. They could have let the children live. Adults can believe whatever coo-coo mumbo jumbo crap they want but leave kids alone! 😡

[secondone]

Her husband after knowing each other 10 days! Run Ian

[jordanfromtheecity]

It makes me shudder to think that if the grandparents had just taken lorri word for it that the kids were safe and they didn't report them missing as quick as they did, the amount of more people those two could have got away with killing coz they were"zombies".

[CK-EDITS_edit]

Colby was spot on when he called him Peter Griffin! 😂😂

[cjmiller]

Lori seems to still be under the cult spell, thinking she is some great Goddess like Doughboy called her.
