Idaho’s Lori Vallow Convicted in Death of Her Fourth Husband

Last month, we broke the news that a familiar name and face would be hitting primetime, national television.

We wish it were someone better--and for reasons more positive than this.

Convicted murdered Lori Vallow, who is guilty of murdering her children in Eastern Idaho and whose trial was held in Boise for over a month, was featured on Dateline on Friday night.

Unlike most specials, where Dateline will cover the crimes and talk to investigators or victims--this special is different. For the first time ever, Lori Vallow sat one on one in an interview where, she claimed she would 'tell the truth'.

Take a look at how much drama was taking place online when the interview was first announced by Dateline:

Viewers were not happy about Vallow's time on Dateline!

After two hours on NBC in primetime -- the consensus was clear. Despite teasing that Keith Morrison and Lori Vallow spent over an hour together, viewers were shown, primarily, re-runs of old Vallow coverage and very little of her interview.

All of this went on, leading up to the next 'big show' for Vallow-- a trial in Arizona for conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in Arizona. This time, it was surrounding the death of her fourth husband and she would be defending herself.

True crime junkies tuned in as Vallow often talked herself in circles and online compilations were made of how often the State of Arizona had to declare...'Objection!' mid-sentence.

The judge was insanely patient.

As of Tuesday, April 22nd, Vallow was found guilty by a jury--just shy of 24-hours after they went into deliberation.

Vallow argued that the death of Charles Vallow was caused by self-defense--claiming that Charles was attacking her children. Prosecutors proved otherwise, pointing out that she was in a new relationship with now convicted murderer Chad Daybell and was looking to 'cash out' on a life insurance policy.

In Idaho, Lori was sentenced to life without parole. Chad was sentenced to death.
