Lori Vallow’s son Colby calls out her bizarre wedding ring & blasts cult mom for ‘causing more pain’ in new murder trial

CHILD killer Lori Vallow’s estranged son has watched in horror and disgust as his murdering mom showed up to her latest trial hearing wearing a makeshift wedding ring.

Vallow, 51, is standing trial for her ex-husband Charles Vallow’s murder after she was found guilty of killing her children Tylee, 16, and JJ, seven.

Her son Colby Ryan, who she had with another late ex-husband, Joseph Ryan, gave his horrified reactions as she represented herself in the hearing.

Vallow descended into a life of heartless crime after she met Chad Daybell – a grave digger, doomsday book author, and, eventually, alleged cult leader.

The two met through their Mormon church, and Daybell murdered his then-wife, Tammy Daybell before they got married.

Now, a criminal court will decide whether Vallow instructed her brother, Alex Cox, to murder her ex-husband, Charles, in July 2019.

Vallow and Daybell have both been sentenced to life in prison for the September 2019 killings of JJ and Tylee, and Daybell was handed the death sentence for murdering his wife.

Though their corpses were found mercilessly buried on Daybell’s property in Idaho, he desperately tried to point the blame at Vallow at every step of his trial.

After witnessing Daybell’s sentencing, Colby was shocked to see Vallow going to great lengths to apparently express her love for her latest husband.

She tied a hair band on her left ring finger, which appeared to be a makeshift wedding ring.

Colby blasted his mother for the bizarre ring and said her love for Daybell is proof she’s living in her own delusion.

“Why would you want to stay married and keep the last name of someone who has literally thrown you under the bus,” Colby said in a YouTube video.

“He has no care for you in the world. And she’s trying to show loyalty.

“It makes me sick.”

As the hearing played on, Colby blasted his mom for “causing more pain and drama” than necessary with her bizarre testimony.

She claimed that there was “no evidence” of a conspiracy to murder her ex-husband, but Colby said this is all part of her “alternate reality.”

“We are living in a alternate reality where she is the victim, and this is going to be the tone for the rest of the time,” he said.

“She’s going to constantly make herself seem like a victim.”

Vallow made the erroneous request to see extradition records from when she was sent from Arizona to Idaho in 2023, but the judge immediately shut her down and said it was an irrelevant request.

She went on to complain about not getting orders and replies sent to her in prison.

“If you’re gonna play the part then you’re gonna have to show up and be a lawyer,” Colby said.

“He is not playing with her. he is not taking it easy.”

Vallow ended the hearing by stating that she wanted the trial to go smoothly and without delays.

Colby also has an emotional interview with his mom, where he confronts her about murdering his siblings.
