Mel G always said Lori was the one always doing the talking. But when he's found by himself..he decides to answer questions. Not that he gave much away of course..he just stated that the court system will take care of everything and hope for the best. Whatever that means for you Chad!

If there's dead children in your backyard, there must be some evidence, as the police are looking. Therefore there will be a warrant. And the rules state you must read a person their rights the fifth amendment rights, before questioning them. You know like you have the right to remain silent? This is a big problem for the prosecution. Chad was not read his rights before being filmed.... No less it was brought into court. Big mistake!

[@My-22-Cents]

I understand what you’re saying. But I think, as a defence attorney, the way he was saying that, was to say that they didn’t respect Tammy and leave her to rest by digging her up when there was no need because her cause of death was natural as per the first report. I think that is the angle he is trying to work for the jury as part of Chads defence. If that makes sense. Of course to us all who know the case, completely insensitive, but he has to do his job I guess.

Imagine your father giving you this talk because he helped killed your mom and 2 children. This is insane.

[@spongebobsqueeze]

It is not insane for them. Their father talks to and sees god and god talks back. The LDS believe in visions from god , their father had visions. Their father did what he wanted. Their mother did what he wanted. She worked where ever he approved, she lived where ever he said. She spent her free time doing only what he approved of. That is according to church doctrine. Chad had the final word on everything. Tammy decided nothing. Chad gave them blessings, their mother did not. They were raised and lived that way their entire lives because that was what their church expects them to do. Chad could have murdered Tammy right in front of them and if he told them he had a vision and god told him to do it, because Tammy was a demon, they had no reason to disbelieve him.

If you followed Nate he stated in one of the lives that he had received a tip that they were in Hawaii and Lori was going to be served papers. So LE was already on them, it is in the documents released. Yes Nate has been fantastic and thankfully did not allow them to comfortably walk around in public without being asked “Where are your kids Lori”. Remember, he contacted LE asking them questions about the missing children and did interviews with them to share the facts. So LE already knew because of Kay’s call for a welfare check.

I wish the detective would’ve said yeah I’m sure Chad was curious but he didn’t ask why we were there.

[@truecrimenut6696]

Good point. I was screaming at my laptop for exact that reason. I don’t understand why he wouldn’t have mention that CD NEVER asked that question!

I want to hear the calls between Emma and Lori

[@vangielee1403]

So lori slept on the same bed where Tammy was murdered? Disgusting. very despicable duo

[@XjtBA]

Lori moved in to his house and slept in the same bed with Chad as Tammy?

[@angesoup]

No! Did she?!? That's heinous😡

[@desertsunset8025]

Gross

[@catlink8998]

I don't think Lori ever lived there. Chad moved out of the house after Tammy was killed. He told a neighbor he was staying at a friend's place in town. Then Chad & Lori were in Hawaii to be married. When they returned I'm 99% sure they stayed at Lori's place. Then back to Hawaii. Lori has been incarcerated or at the mental hospital since she returned to Idaho. Chad returned to Idaho and probably moved into the house since he wouldn't want to pay Lori's rent since he was trying to drum up money for her bail.

[@ladaha1]

Lori never lived at Tammy’s house

38:40 He didn't ASK what they were doing. 30 officers on my property, I'd ask what they were doing? I wouldn't get in my car and drive away. 😐

Exactly its because he knew why they were there

[@Our.Beautiful_Mess]

Exactly! If I didn't know what they were doing I would definitely be shouting what are you doing here? What are you looking for? Why are you digging up my yard? Etc etc etc

I don't think I'm willing to give any benefit of doubt for Chad's children anymore. No "brainwashing" or anything of that sort can explain to me how Emma can act so self-absorbed while there are children's bodies getting discovered a short walk away, and still continue to support their father after such a long time, so much evidence.

I’m only halfway through this and I feel like I’m going to vomit. The conversation between Chad and his daughter is so disgusting and ignorant to the whole situation! That could’ve been them and even their children! And maybe I could give a pass if they had come around over the years but the fact that three or four of them are testifying on Chad‘s behalf makes me sick to my stomach. Let’s talk about mortgages and how everyone’s going to be OK (using their mother’s life insurance money!) all while the children’s bodies (or what’s left of them) is being discovered/dug up at this exact moment! 😔

If Chad tries to say he did not know the children were buried in his back yard, why isnt he demanding to know what is going on. also it seems that there should be alot more money from Tamis life insurance left, unless he and Lori burned through it! Thanks Nate this is GREAT!!!! Robin from Spokane Wa

[@Gurl-5150]

I feel so terribly for Tammy Daybell. Her own children are going to lie to free Chad from the charges regarding their own mother. Despicable.

[@desertsunset8025]

I think they will most likely get caught up in their lies . More likely, they will omit that her father told her bodies of the children are in the backyard .

[@lesliemurphy830]

You are so good at your job Nate. Also, a great human being. Thank you.

[@HollyOmega]

Just my opinion... just the jail call and the squad car video would be enough for me for a guilty verdict. This is my opinion... even if I didn't know anything else about the case. I love my dad so much, but there is no way I would be so nonchalant about finding children's bodies in his yard! I probably would go to jail myself if that ever happened because I would lose my crap to find something like that out! Also, how is his daughter ok with Lori? I don't get it?!? My parents are only divorced, and I never liked their 1st partners after their divorce... let alone after a death... that just blows my mind.

[@stephanieallangarman5598]

The only way I can see this making sense is that they are all believers of that occult and they’re complicit.

[@OneBadAssMoMo]

They are digging up two kids bodies, and they are talking about her moving into the house!

[@redrose41000]

@tashaawesome6297 - I missed that. What does that mean? Looking for “IT” ?

[@TremontonNurseMJ]

I wonder if Emma would be upset if HER kids ended up brutally murdered like poor Tyler and JJ. Especially if Lori got jealous. Those cult members have no conscience.

[@lucar2293]

Emma's behavior is scary. It sounds like she was an active participant in the cult. The children should be kept under surveillance, I'm scared this cult will continue to operate in the background...

[@thetrick5037]

I always thought when Lori said" are they searching the house..... Again?" The " again " was to long a pause. She said" again" because she knew to search the house again would find nothing but when her said the yard outside they both knew what that meant. jmo. Good Job as always. ty for your reporting.

[@laurabell48]

I appreciate you and your crew Nate, thank you so much for your dedication

[@mariadavis8745]

The fact that Emma talks to Lori, in my opinion shows that she has accepted all that has happened. She’s probably been told that everything was God’s will. I use to say Daybell’s children were just not willing to accept that their dad did wrong and that’s why they were supporting him but now I think, from Emma’s interview, they know full well that he is heavily involved in this but supports his choices because of his indoctrination of them.

The complete LACK of concern about the body of Lori's 7 year old son being found (and then Tylee dismembered) and his HUGE concern about money and his affairs. OMG. WTH. This is good Jury content. She also mentions "The Spirit" - which gave me chills.... Lori will use Charles Amazon account to send Chad things in jail.

[@ReneS8373]

I find the personalities of this family really interesting. Such a flat affect and maybe even lack of empathy. IMO. I started to have a hard time feeling bad for Emma as the video continued. I was perplexed by the conversation.

[@stlmopoet]

At first I was nervous when I saw John Prior start to put all the blame on Lori and Alex at the beginning of the trial. Then I remembered the piles of evidence of Chad's guilt. And that was befor I saw his chat with Emma.
