Doomsday Author Compared Himself to ‘Harry Potter’ in Bizarre Love Messages to Lori Vallow
About three months before Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell allegedly murdered Vallow’s two children and jetted off to Hawaii to get married, the Doomsday author sent an odd love note to his paramour.
“I’m a grown-up version of Harry Potter, who has to live with the Dudleys in his little space under the stairs,” Daybell wrote in a July 26, 2019, text message. “Every few weeks I get to escape and have these amazing adventures with my Goddess lover, but then I have to return to my life under the stars feeling trapped.”
The message came several days after Vallow’s former husband, Charles, was fatally shot by her brother. In the aftermath, Vallow learned that she had not been named the beneficiary of her late husband's life insurance—a realization the mother called a “spear thru my heart.”
