COURTROOM INSIDER | Sheriff Ball and Chief Dep. Kaaiakamanu break their silence

[@Widespread-Panic]

This really made me realize what the people who investigated this case had to go through for *years*. I've got mad respect for the emotional strength that had to have been required just to go to work every day while being confronted with this kind of evil. And they're still going. Amazing folks who do this kind of thing.

[@steveb4662]

I was coming down here to post exactly the same thing. We can watch horror movies from dawn to dusk, but whatever is seen in those is absolutely NOTHING compared to what these people have to go through when a case like this happens. I can't even imagine it. Both the sheriff and the deputy said they would never forget this, and I can believe that. Mad respect is right!

[@delphiasheppard1062]

I've watched this since night you were in Hawaii and this is so sad

[@delphiasheppard1062]

How people can be so evil

[@melodieshimon]

A lot of work was put into this case . Thank you all for your service .

[@linneawhitaker1750]

Nate, your interviews, every one that I have watched on this particular Daybell case, are excellent. Nate asks the most searching, intelligent, questions, and waits patiently, while the person responds. I just love watching them, I do believe your whole team deserves an award for reporting, like a Pulitzer.

[@william_mac]

I totally agree with your comment. However you do not address the subject of the killings. How do please stop this? I'm not sure we can.

[@cyntheathremblat158]

Yes definitely a national news award!!!!

[@william_mac]

@@cyntheathremblat158 I'm quite sure Nate is nationality known for the interviews he does. I bet he would give up that award if the killing would just stop. Unfortunately, there's always the next LDS split. I'm just so glad I live in western Idaho.

[@angelapyle7301]

Yes‼️been following him from day one!Nate is the best journalist of all time ❤

[@cyntheathremblat158]

@@william_mac You are absolutely right. Nate covered this to the very bitter end with not the we results we were hoping for. You are correct, lives are always worth more than awards and I'm sure Nate feels the same way. Thank you for pointing that out I really appreciate it.

[@GaliSinatra]

Much respect for these two guys and all of the officials who solved this case. I hope they heal as well.

[@lindatannock]

I think its wonderful that someone is buying Chad's house and turning it into a community space/garden. It's the best possible outcome for it, and hopefully a tribute to JJ, Tylee and Tammy. Thank you for all these great interviews. Nate, your questions are always so well thought out and the interviews are so interesting. Your hard work is so appreciated 💖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Americans are so lovely with doing such beautiful and respectful things in cases like this. That's a wonderful gesture.

[@4Him4Ever]

Nate, I don’t know what awards journalists can earn, but in my view you should be first in line. Thorough, professional but also so humanly compassionate. I nominate you!

[@AmeliaInMonTana]

Such a great interview Nate. Thank you Sheriff and Detective as well as all who took part for all the hard work and dedication you did to bring justice.

If the police had done their job properly after the first murder there wouldn't have been any more victims simply because they were too incompetent

[@marthamorris9596]

These interviews you are doing are SO HELPFUL to all of us who followed this case from the start! We are all still processing together. I'm deeply impressed with these good men.

[@catmeow333]

Wonderful interview Nate. Watching from CT. My dad was a cop, you let people see the humanity and crushing cases they deal with daily. The public has no idea.

[@Aussietari]

Please Nate, You need to Write a Book on this Tragic case, with all these Wonderful Law Officers involved, as their insights are so much a part of this investigation.🙏🏼😌

He should collaborate with Lauren. That would be awesome.

Oh you beat he’s going write a good one!! Right NATE? 🎉

[@greenman6141]

I agree. To learn more about the work that these people did, the effort they had to put in, would be not just interesting, it would be important - for them to have their work memorialized.

[@maryreynolds5310]

I think he mentioned something about doing just that in time.

[@lindatannock]

Yeah definitely! I'd love a book 👏🏻

[@dreamweaver9811]

as a Canadian I am unaware of any "Pulitzer Prize" type awards for independent journalists, but if there is such a thing, You deserve it. Your exceptional devotion to Tylee, JJ, Tammy and Charles has never taken a back seat to other more flamboyant characters that would get you more clicks and views, I think you sitting on the Julie Row interview until recently speaks to your integrity and conscious awareness of the loss and pain that an entire community is experiencing. Thank You for all that you do.

[@tanyaglazier7596]

Amazing interview, as always. I will never forget this sad and crazy case as long as I live. Looking forward to Lori's next trial in Arizona. I hope she gets exactly what she deserves.

How many Mormons you got there in Mississippi? Think about it. I know what you got there. I know about the creatures that lurk. I don't think you have the Mormons though.

[@hollybeee]

I am so impressed with the local law enforcement. They are so honorable and hard working. I hope they get rest and healing. Their communities are truly blessed to have them serving there. Thank you for this interview.

[@brichter6630]

So so much respect for these two men, and gratitude for their dedication to justice! Thank you for doing this interview. These two, with the hundreds of others who sacrificed so much for these victims, are just incredible human beings! Nate, fantastic job as always!

This was my favorite interview. A different perspective. All deeply involved, this case has found way into their souls permanently. Thank you to all involved & thank you Nate

[@william_mac]

If they're smart, they separate themselves, they get counseling or therapy. This will never end with the Mormon church and their beliefs.

[@JaniceLeenhouts]

Thank you for doing this interview and for posting it on your east Idaho news site. Those of us who followed one or both of the trials are interested in keeping up with any new or previously unreported details of this horrific crime.

[@steveb4662]

Thanks for this Nate! I am always so glad to see a "Courtroom Insider" email come in. Your interviews put most of the "mainstream" media to shame. Cheers!

[@Kammitoes]

Lovely to see you again Nate, and so pleased you are still revisiting loose ends on the Lori and Chad horror. If I lived to be a thousand I would never understand how Lori could be a knowing part of the deaths of her children. I just don't understand how anyone could do that.....and that she and Chad are self-professed christians! Words fail me. Thank you as always ❤from🇦🇺

[@Etc36284]

Great interview! It was so interesting listening to Sheriff Ball and Chief Deputy Kaaiakamanu discuss in detail as they uncovered the truth in this terrible case. I’m so thankful for their relentless pursuit of the children and discovering what really happened to Tammy(and I believe Charles will formally,finally get the justice he deserves soon, tho everyone realizes now he was murdered)-truly LEOs ,State, East Idaho News have been the voice for the voiceless and it all started with Larry and Kay persistence & perseverance born out of love for the children. Hearing the Sheriff and the Chief Deputy describe having to listen to Lori & Chad’s phone calls, I had to smile a little. I remembered how hearing any portion of the calls during trial made most of us disgusted. And they had to do it day after day!! Hats off to yall and much respect and gratitude for you & your work
