Cult Crimes

A group of people, typically religious or spiritual, who have committed acts of violence or murder. They may often be characterized by their extreme beliefs, charismatic leaders and a willingness to use violence to achieve their goals.

The genesis of the killing spree may have been triggered by the killing of Charles Vallow, Lori Vallow’s fourth husband. His death would have allowed Lori and Chad Daybell’s relationship to start.
