  • Lori Vallow & Chad Daybell (Deaths of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan)
    Jun 29 2021

    In September 2019, 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Family members had heard nothing from them for months, but the children’s parents never reported the minors missing. Law enforcement visited the home of JJ and Tylee’s mother, Lori Vallow, that November to perform a welfare check on the children. Authorities later located Vallow and her husband, Chad Daybell, in Hawaii, where police finally arrested Vallow in February 2020 — months before investigators found JJ and Tylee’s remains on Daybell’s property. Are Vallow and Daybell responsible for the children’s deaths? Did they have anything to do with the mysterious deaths of Daybell’s first wife, Tammy, and Vallow’s estranged husband, Charles? Stay with us as we remember the victims, JJ and Tylee, and discuss what we know so far about Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell.

  • Earth's Secret Symphony
    May 25 2021

    Frequency is everywhere — all things in our universe are constantly in motion, vibrating. Even the Earth hums at its own frequency. Knowing about frequency is fascinating, but also important for our well-being. It could impact our physical, mental, and emotional health. Some scientists think that frequency can explain life’s greatest mysteries, the reality or non-reality of ghosts and aliens — even the human consciousness. There are so many enigmas surrounding frequency. Join us as we explore the frequencies that make up Earth’s secret symphony.
