I appreciate your dedication to the case SO MUCH Ms. Smith! As an Idahoan I have realized just how lucky we are to have had such a wonderful prosecution and law enforcement team; thank you all from the bottom of my heart! 💜💙🦆
I love her explanation of the role of religion. Makes so much sense.
Chad and Lori used religion as a front for their wickedness. There's is nothing they did based on Christianity or LDS.
Agree! That made so much sense!!!
Agree! Excellent explanation!
This woman is brilliant. I’m so impressed with her and the entire team plus law enforcement. God bless them.
Nate you're adding so much insight to the case that I'm not seeing anywhere else. Thank you.
Every interview you do is fascinating. You ask interesting questions, you listen carefully to the answers, and then follow up. You were born for this, and I appreciate you so much! This interview was especially great!
Upmost respect to prosecutors who handle homicide and violent crime. Having to deal with the absolute worst that human beings can do is a huge burden to carry. Thank you to all of these brave souls who work to get justice.
Utmost respect
unless they are from Boston
The prosecutor, who, in conjunction with the corrupt police of Canton Massachusetts, certainly doesn't deserve any respect whatsoever.
It's prosecutors like him cause people to lose faith in the justice system, it's not too hard to tell that Karen Read is being railroaded (for a murder she clearly didn't commit) by the police and the judiciary of that town.
Honest people deserve respect, criminals don't, no matter what their job title is.
I agree. They take on the trauma to do what the rest of us won’t do. Same with first responders. They endanger their own lives to save other’s.
Mrs. Smith is incredible! What an outstanding intelligent prosecutor. Amazed that even though they clearly knocked their case out of the park, she still has a list of things she’d do better next time. That’s the sign of a true unstoppable force. Thank you for accepting this case!
Wow I'm so impressed by this interview. I'm so impressed how sincere and honest she was with her answers. Good job, guys.
I feel the same way! I loved the honesty!
I am just struck with the intelligence and integrity of the team who put this case together to allow justice to be served for these victims! I can never hear enough behind the scenes on these cases. It really gives me a lot of hope to see that for all the evil out there, there are plenty more good guys to see that the bad people are held accountable.
I just love Rachel's personality!!! Down to earth and so so smart!! I appreciate your work and thank you for all you did on this case.
Really good interview, thank you Rachel for willing to be interviewed.
Of all the post trial interviews, I think this one was my favorite. She was willing to give detailed answers on topics that others would not.
Agreed! This is my favorite interview thus far.
I have followed both Daybell cases from Alberta, Canada. It’s been an eye opener to me. This prosecution team was amazing! The hours, weeks, months, & even years of being mentally, emotionally, & physically drained taking on such horrific cases makes these lawyers worth their weight in gold!!!! Their team work, cooperation, investigation & dedication was above & beyond. Thank you for bringing justice for Tylee, JJ& Tammy. ❤
She was my favorite in Lori's trial. I love to hear her talk, and I love to hear her strategy. She's is awesome!!
We love and appreciate your professionalism NATE ❤😊
Listening to what Nate is going to do next is like Christmas.
Such a remarkable, intelligent, knowledgeable woman. Thank you for your dedication for justice for Tylee, JJ, and Tammy .
Thank you for these amazing interviews with jurors, prosecutors, detectives, etc., following the Vallow-Daybell trials.
It's been a long 4.5 years and now seeing how things worked during this investigation/trial is incredible to hear.
Nate, I think many would love to hear from Prosecutor Lindsay Blake. She did an interview recently, and no offense to Jason Lum, but you're a better interviewer!!!!!!
Thank you Nate!!! I have wanted so badly to hear from Rachel! She is yet another member of this amazing AMAZING team of people, some we will never be able to name as they were behind all the scenes, who gave these cases their all to the very end!
Another great interview! It is obvious that everyone involved in investigating and prosecuting the Daybells was committed, diligent and complimentary towards each other.
Hugs from 🇨🇦
Another great interview! I love hearing from everyone involved in the case. I’d like to hear in a year’s time from the children of Tammy Daybell again, just to see if views have changed at all. Thanks Nate and East Idaho News! Bravo!
Great, great interview, Nate. What a gem of a person she is! God bless you for inviting her on!!
Very valuable interview! I appreciate this one, I think the most so far! Thank you, Rachel Smith and East Idaho News!
Ever since the children were announced as missing, many of us have hung on every word published. With no knowledge of trial preparation, we had a lot of anxiety about whther justice would prevail. Thank you for giving your best. Much appreciated.
I could listen to her for hours. She's absolutely brilliant. Not only that, but you can tell she has a great big heart to go along with her intelligence. The entire team was outstanding! Super impressed by all of them.
Nate, the reason your interviews are so successful is your questions and your delivery. You hit it at just the right time and carry it through like a conversation. You are so good at what you do. This lady Rachel Smith is a genius, she is able to organize her thoughts to convey exactly what she wants to say or rather tell you while answering your questions. So impressed. So they, C&L, used religion only to get what they wanted, at the right time and it changed as their needs changed. Would be very interesting for her to give an opinion on does she believe Lori is delusional, removed from reality or is she just pulling a fast one.
Lori’s sister firmly believes that Lori will remain lost in her delusions! The psychologists who examined her believe that as well!
Oh I would love to hear her thoughts on that one. I have always thought Lori was full of it. Lori I'm sure believes in religion, the basic things that are taught but the stuff Chad was coming up with, light and dark , the ratings, zombies. No never. Lorie would hint around to Chad what she wanted then Chad would tell her exactly what he knew she wanted to hear. Lori knew it was a little game they played to justify their evil plots. Lori was the one who set the murders in motion. Chad could care less if someone was murdered just as long as he got sex.
Hi again from Chicago! Great interview! This prosecutor is amazing and was integral to the process!! THANX RACHEL!!
I want to know how Melanie niece, didn't get charged with anything? What in the world!! Plus all her videos of lying over and over! I want to see what she thinks to this day.
Me, too. She told both Ian and Melanie Gibb that "the plan failed." Melanie Gibb offered that evidence right away because I saw a court document Brandon filed. Melani Boudreaux did not show up for the hearing which was about custody. There would be no plan to kill Brandon if Melani didn't promise them a share of the money. I want to know what was the big deal about the steps to the upstairs room???? Maybe I missed it.
She may appear in Lori’s trial in Arizona. We shall see.
Rachel Smith is an excellent prosecutor and asset to any team. I was disappointed when she announced she would not participate on the trial part of Chad's case. She definitely put in the work and it was evident. Enjoyed this interview and appreciate all the work Nate puts into these interviews.
A great interview, she gave us the behind the scenes we wanted 😊 Bless this woman for the career path she chose, Speaking for the Voiceless ❤
Again I do this coming in with an open mind. Right off the bat, I noticed some telling clues. She is a beautiful person. She's selfless, kind and what humanity should be about. The compassion and empathy just pours from her. If I'm an attorney I want this person on my team! She's serious, yet calm. This is an attorney that knows what she's doing. We the people of the State of Idaho are blessed to have her on our side. A true victims advocate. This is a tough woman, and such a hard worker. I can see it in her eyes. Listen to this woman. He won the cases, yet she wants to do better. Such a very critical thinker. Something that they stress highly when getting a bachelor of science degree. This is such a smart, beautiful human being. I'm so proud as in Idaho citizen, for Rachel Smith to be part of our team.
Ms. Smith's thoughts on the religious side of these terrible crimes, was spot on. Religion and control go hand in hand.
Wow! Nate we are so fortunate to have you as as our go to journalist! The quality of your reporting is outstanding, we are fortunate to have you! Edit - but, why is it harder on the prosecution with the cameras there? I wanna know more about that!
This a great interview Nate! Rachel is an awesome prosecuter and it's so interesting to hear what she has to say, about the cases. 🙂👍👍⚖️😅
I love hearing all the different viewpoints and perspectives. Another great interview Nate!

Watching from Southern California.
When I was 12, my 20-year-old cousin was killed by a drunk driver.
It's nice to hear that she turned a devastating tragedy in to something good.
So very sorry for your loss.❤
@@tchili1Thank you.
He was a beautiful boy, inside and out. He would have been 60 in 4 days. That's crazy.
Now, he's forever frozen as a laughing, kind, young man who looked just like Troy Donahue.
Such a waste.
Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you very much Nate and Mrs Smith for a very informative discussion. Much respect to Mrs Smith for your knowledge and contribution to this case.

My younger aister was murdered at age 32 yrs. by the man who brainwashed her. Fortunately, he committed suicide pre-trial in prison. I fought for years to separate her from him to no avail.

Watching from Wyoming:). Excellent interview and she is so impressive. Thanks for talking with her.
Another amazing interview. Thank you Nate! 🇨🇦
I totally agree with her assessment that religion was a means to an end. The proof to me is that Chad and Lori were planning to move to Hawaii…so much for Rexburg being the church center and refuge.
Watching from Tennessee
