Vallow burst into laughter calling her friend 'naive'
Vallow insisted there was not any such thing going on as the confrontation broke. But she as per Barattiero burst into laughter calling her "naive" and then threatened to kill her. “As soon as I turned to go upstairs, she started laughing – as if you were laughing at someone,” Barattiero testified in the court.
“She said you’re so naive and too trusting. You’re like a little child. You think the world is all unicorns and rainbows. You go around helping people and serving them. Well, I’ve got news for you. Not everyone is a good person and not everyone can be so kind," the outlet mentioned. “Then she threatened to kill me. She said she would cut me up and wasn’t in the mental place to do it but would get herself in a place to do it.”
'There would be blood and bleach'
She then went ahead allegedly detailing how she would commit the crime and kill her friend. “There would be blood and bleach and something about trash bags. She would bury me in a place nobody would ever find me.”
Barattiero also detailed how they first met in 2018 during a religious conference along with Daybell, Vallow’s friend Melanie Gibb and Cox’s future wife Zulema Pastenes and became "good friends." But in early 2019, she began talking about "zombies" and "possession."
Horrific details leading to death of her children
The jurors in the murder trial have been hearing the testimony and witness statements for four weeks at the courthouse during which chilling details of how her children JJ and Tylee besides her husbands' first wife Tammy Daybell were killed. Previously, a DNA expert revealed Lori Vallow's hair was found on the duct tape that was used to wrap his son Joshua JJ Vallow.
Horrific details of how JJ was suffocated to death restrained by duct tape and Tylee's remains being torched before being eaten by an animal were also revealed. Recently, a medical examiner also testified that Tammy may also have been restrained before her death. Chad Daybell who is also charged in connection with the deaths and Vallow Daybell are both accused of being members of a doomsday cult and holding the belief that the end of the world was near.
