As Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow face indictments related to the deaths of Chad's wife, Tammy; Lori's husband, Charles; Lori's brother, Alex; Lori's children, JJ and Tylee, many LDS church members have taken issue with the suggestion that Mormon beliefs played any role in these deaths.

In the first of our two-part series, Lauren and John Matthias, co-hosts of Hidden: A True Crime podcast, and Mindy Caldwell join John in exploring the Mormon influences on Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow.
