(NBC) — “Dateline” is on Friday with an all-new two-hour episode and it is a “blockbuster” interview.
Correspondent Keith Morrison has the first-ever television interview with the convicted killer known as “Mommy Doomsday.” Lori Vallow is sentenced to life without parole for, among other crimes, the murders of her two children in Idaho. Vallow is now in an Arizona jail awaiting another murder trial.
Here is a preview of Morrison’s report:
KEITH MORRISON: You’re the most hated mom in America.
LORI VALLOW: I heard that.
KEITH MORRISON: Are you misunderstood?
LORI VALLOW: Absolutely.
We met Lori Vallow at a women’s jail in Maricopa County. You remember the case, right? Who can forget it?
LORI VALLOW: The media loves to take tragedies and turn them into crimes. I had a lot of tragedies in a row.
Perhaps she would finally tell us why. Why her children are dead? And her ex-husband? And her lover’s wife?
LORI VALLOW: Are you keeping track?
KEITH MORRISON: Oh yeah.
Were all those awful events launched by a bit of pure chance? Or something far more intentional?
KEITH MORRISON: I’m asking you a question, ‘Did you watch your children die?’
LORI VALLOW: That’s a very sad question.
She made the decision to meet me for an on-camera interview — because …
LORI VALLOW: You’ve heard a lot of stuff Keith, but what I tell you will be the truth.
Watch “Dateline: Lori Vallow Daybell, the Jailhouse Interview” Friday at 9 p.m. on NBC4.
