Mrs. Texas contender number 13 Lori Ryan is the blonde woman addressing questions while seated in front of a platform. 

“I’m a ticking time bomb,” Ryan jokes. “Being a good mom, a good wife, and a good worker is very important to me, and being all those things together is not simple. 

That was her name at the moment, but neither it nor her marriage would endure. She had already had five marriages before the pageant took place. 

After her marriage to Charles Vallow, she became known as Lori Vallow, and in September 2019 when her two younger children went missing, she became well-known.  

When Vallow resisted providing law officials with information about her children’s whereabouts, the story soon spread across the country. Lori had vanished by the time the cops became concerned about her and proceeded to question her more. 

A new true crime docuseries called “Sins of Our Mother” will debut on Netflix in 2022. Through interviews with her mother Janis, her son Colby, Colby’s wife, Lori’s ex-sister-in-law, and others, it explores the narrative of Lori Vallow and her family.  

Once you are aware of the full narrative that enthralled true crime communities on the internet, it is stunning to watch family videos and images of Lori and her children, grinning and happy.  

Viewers may find it difficult to believe none of the story points in this series were concocted in a writer’s room after watching it.  

Watch “Sins of Our Mother” the next time you need a fix if you appreciate real crime programming like the “Serial” (2014-) podcast or “The Tinder Swindler” (2022), which debuted on Netflix earlier this year.  

The story of J.J. and Tylee is told online in the most coherent, condensed, and sympathetic way possible since the story broke back in late 2019.
