“Lori Vallow was known to friends and family as a devoted mother of three, a loving wife, and a woman of God,” the Netflix synopsis reads. “But over the past three years, something went very wrong: Now Lori is in jail, waiting to stand trial for conspiracy to commit murder and first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of her fourth husband, her fifth husband’s wife, and her two youngest children.”

The synopsis leads to one question that the documentary hopes to answer. 

“For the first time, Lori’s surviving son Colby steps forward to provide exclusive insight into his family’s backstory as well as their present-tense narrative as Lori faces justice. At the heart of this three-part series is a single burning question: how did a seemingly normal woman become the most notorious mother in America?”

The series delves into the Church of the Firstborn religious group that Chad and Lori followed. However, it also details what happened before Lori met Chad. 

The three-episode documentary hits Netflix on Sept. 14, 2022.
