Where was he? Kay called the police, asked them to do a welfare check. Lori, I'm Lieutenant Ball, Police Department. How are you? This is a big mess. I just talked to the guy on the phone. So JJ would be where? And where was his sister, Tylee? Her car's out there, too, in the back. It's blue. And why the day after did their mother, Lori, disappear into thin air? That's when we got involved. Dateline NBC. We started an investigation.
And what we found, it has to be heard to be believed. She had told me that Charles was already dead and that there was a demon living inside of him. Did you think she was just... I thought she'd lost her mind. This story is about a woman and people around her dropping like flies. Either they're the most unlucky family in the world or it's all around Lori.
Four deaths, two missing children, one fringe religious group. She said to me, "You know, Melanie, if Chaz is Satan, he's a good one." And I thought, "That is... that's unusual." This story takes us to lazy beaches in Kauai, the desert in Arizona, a frostbitten pet cemetery, and to a small church group with wild and dangerous beliefs. The basis seemed to be preparing for the end.
They believed that they were part of the 144,000... Ordained to go to heaven. Exactly. That they were a part of that and they were here to gather the other members to join them. And Lori's family, they were in danger. And she said that it was made known to her by the Lord that her family would not make it because of the tribulations that were going to come. Crazy. Yeah.
End of world stuff will make people behave differently. That's true. Fair. Hang on. It's going to be a wild ride. You're on behalf of Mrs. Daybell. She enters a not guilty plea to both charges. From the people who brought you The Thing About Pam, I'm Keith Morrison, and this is Dateline NBC's newest podcast, Mommy Doomsday. My siblings are gone. Charles is gone. Alex is gone.
