Resurfaced 'Wheel of Fortune' Clip Shows Child Killer's Appearance on Show

Fans of the long-running game show Wheel of Fortune were left horrified when an episode featuring Lori Vallow, the notorious cult figure convicted of murdering her children, resurfaced online. Vallow is currently serving time for the murders of her children, Tylee Ryan, 16 and Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 7. Vallow was also convicted for her involvement in the conspiracy to murder her husband’s first wife, Tammy Daybell.

The footage of Vallow on Wheel of Fortune, which dates back to 2004, is a far cry from the notorious cult mom we’ve known her as. Sporting a pink shirt and blond hair, Vallow was introduced by Pat Sajak as Lori Ryan, a stylist from Austin, Texas. During her appearance on the show, Vallow spoke fondly of her life in Austin, describing it as “a happening place.” 

When asked about her family, Vallow mentioned her former husband, Joseph Ryan, who was Tylee's father and the adoptive father of her oldest son, Colby Ryan, who is now the only surviving child from the clan. Vallow also introduced their two children, Colby, who was seven at the time, and Tylee, who was one.

'We like to play all kinds of sports on our three acres,” Vallow continued.

Vallow, who ended up winning $17,500 on the show, is currently facing additional chrges in Arizona, where she is accused of plotting to murder her husband Charles Vallow and her niece’s ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. The case, which has chronicled child murder and cult worship, sent shockwaves through the nation.
