Victims' grandfather reacts to Lori Daybell's prime time interview – East Idaho News
BOISE (KIVI) – “Lori is such a narcissist; she has no moral compass,” said Larry Woodcock. “She’s a user of people, she still is. She will never tell the truth.”
In a nationally televised interview from inside an Arizona jail where Lori Vallow Daybell is representing herself in another murder trial for the death of her fourth husband, Charles, the convicted murderer was grilled about her part in the deaths of her children Tylee and JJ and her husband’s first wife, among other things.
I asked JJ Vallow’s outspoken grandfather, Larry Woodcock, if he planned to watch the interview.
“The simple answer is ‘yes,’ I’m sure we will,” said Woodcock.
But Woodcock made it clear he wasn’t expecting to hear anything different from the woman he believes cannot tell the truth.
“‘I love my daughter, I love JJ,’ Daybell said, according to Woodcock. “No you didn’t. You might have liked him for a while, but in 2017 that all ended. She didn’t have the integrity or moral compass to even pick up the phone to call Kay and say, ‘Look, you come get JJ, would you take Tylee, too?’ In a heartbeat.”
EastIdahoNews.com’s Nate Eaton has been the media face of these two murder trials and was the one who flew to Hawaii and confronted Lori in a parking lot before she was ever arrested and asked where the children were. She didn’t say a thing. That was then, this is now.
“She has a lot to say in this interview, but whether or not we get any real answers, I don’t think we will,” Eaton said. “I think it’s going to be a lot of her just talking with her own agenda.”
I asked Eaton why he thought people are still fixated on Chad Daybell and Lori — a couple already convicted of multiple murders.
“Look at O.J. Simpson — people are still fascinated by that trial. Casey Anthony — those (cases) are decades old and they still find an interest in it. Maybe it’s something in 30 years we sit down and talk about it again.”
Larry and Kay Woodcock have heard and seen enough from Lori Vallow Daybell. Larry has a direct message for Daybell.
“Lori, get ready to spend the rest of your life in prison. I doubt seriously there will ever be an interview, and if the good Lord’s willing, I hope you don’t. I hope no one on Earth gets to see your sorry a** again.”

MISSOULA, Mont. — An Idaho Falls angler is back in the Idaho record books after landing a record-setting lake trout at Payette Lake.
Idaho Fish and Game said Dylan Smith caught and released a 43.25-inch lake trout on May 2, setting a new state catch-and-release record for the species. The fish surpassed the previous record of 42 inches.
The catch marks Smith’s second appearance in Idaho’s record books. He previously held the state catch-and-release lake trout record after landing a trophy fish in 2018 before that mark was later broken.
According to Fish and Game, Payette Lake has become one of Idaho’s premier lake trout fisheries thanks to years of management efforts aimed at improving both lake trout and kokanee populations.
Pride Month looks different this June along Boise’s Harrison Boulevard, where a long-standing tradition of hanging Pride flags on lamp posts has been put on hold after a new state law restricted which flags can be flown on government property.
For several years, Pride flags lined lamp posts along Harrison Boulevard in Boise’s North End neighborhood. But Idaho House Bill 561, signed by Gov. Brad Little in March, restricts which flags can be flown on government property, including the City of Boise’s Harrison lamp posts.
In response, a group of neighbors formed Pride North End and launched a distribution effort to help residents show support from their own front yards. The group has been making Pride flags and yard signs available to people who want to display them at home.
“I thought that I would…be a personal example of ‘yes, this is what I do.’ This is what I believe in,” said Edna Schochat, a North End resident.
Pride North End has already distributed more than 900-yard signs and 250 flags. The group’s original donation goal was around $2,000 to order 100 flags and 200 yard signs, but it has exceeded that GoFundMe goal, reaching $10,000 worth of donations.
The group plans to continue holding public flag and sign distributions through the end of the month.
“We cannot just say something without doing something that proves that we mean what we say,” Schochat said.
Pride North End said any leftover funds after materials are distributed will go to local LGBTQ+ nonprofits. A link to the group’s GoFundMe can be found here.
