BOISE, IDAHO: On the sixth day of the murder trial of the 'doomsday cult' mother Lori Vallow, the court heard a chilling prison call that revealed her surviving son accusing her of killing his siblings to which she responded Jesus Christ was on her side. Following the death of Joshua 'JJ' Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 16, Vallow was arrested and held in prison where she had a disturbing phone conversation with her son Colby Ryan, 27.

In the jailhouse call, Ryan was heard telling Vallow "You murdered my siblings." He also sought answers from her after his sibling's bodies were discovered in shallow graves found at her fifth husband Chad Daybell's property. When the 49-year-old woman was accused of "blasphemy," she laughed hysterically. "Tell me that, that Jesus Christ is on your side right now," Ryan insisted to which she responded, "I can tell you that," reported Daily Mail.

'I have prayed for you in my worst moments'

The gut-wrenching call left the courtroom in shock as Vallow is currently on trial over the brutal killings of her two children and Daybell's ex-wife, Tammy. Before the bodies of the children were discovered in 2020, her surviving son urged her to disclose the location of the children who were missing. 

The 7-year-old JJ was found buried in his pajamas, kept inside a black plastic bag after he was wrapped in duct tape. The remains of 16-year-old Tylee found were burned to the extent that an autopsy could not be carried out.

"I have prayed for you in my worst moments. I have prayed for my siblings who you swore to me were okay. I thought I could trust you. I thought that you were a completely different person," Ryan told Vallow in the call.

'My phone's been texted by my little sister who's not even alive'

In the call, Ryan who sound distressed said, "You lied to me, specifically to me, more times than I can count. To know that they are gone and you knew, and my phone's been texted by my little sister who's not even alive, my little brother, who's the sweetest little kid ever. For what purpose?".

"You weren't there, you don't know what happened," said Vallow who then talked about the police and said, "They think they know what happened. They think they know who's responsible." She then told her son, "I love you and always will. One day you will see and one day you will understand."
