The three-parter, which features Lori's surviving son, Colby, reveals how the 49-year-old appeared to be the perfect mother before meeting religious preacher Chad Daybell, whom she went on to marry following the suspicious death of Chad's wife, Tammy.
After JJ's grandmother expressed her concern to the police after not seeing him for two weeks, Lori told the authorities that he was staying with family in Arizona. She then fled her home and managed to evade the police for three months with the help of her brother.
The authorities carried out a search of a storage locker owned by Lori, in which they found the children's clothing, bikes, and photographs.
