How did Chad and Lori Daybell know Tammy was being exhumed? And what's happened with Chad's books?

[@coldisle]

Nate, you continue to showcase your journalistic talent and integrity on a national stage. There are SO many people who claim to be journalists. They are not. You are, and I am always impressed by your professional curiosity and unique style of interviewing and presenting facts. Thank you.

Why would anyone want to read or pay for those books. Don't support him

[@kateashby3066]

“Live from my sofa” actually read his book on being a gravedigger, but in a weird voice and while mocking him. It was not only great entertainment and provided a much needed laugh for those of us traumatized by this trial, but Chad is a horrible writer. Extremely lazy. No descriptive speech, just words pointing to colorful meanings. Other than that, I have no clue how anyone read or bought these books.

[@tinavallejo3801]

You are brilliant Nate. Thank you for all your info. I have been watching you from Texas for several years now and I am part of court tv chat during the trial. I would love to get ahold of all his books that still exist and have a book burning party and make him watch. This is a very evil man. I have a bachelor of science degree major criminal justice. Chad is calculating and Alex killed himself, the coward he is and was, and he knew he was going to be going to jail for three murders because of the manipulation by Chad.

[@francineproulx2535]

Great reporting Nate. They deserve prison for life

So Prior can stop saying LE never informed the children. His own client knew and didn't tell them

[@KjSaidSo]

If it wasn't for that person dropping the dime ALEX may be alive (yes i still feel he offed himself) to stand trial as well SMH

[@tjkasgl]

Remember Chad and Lori gave Alex a blessing the week before telling him it was his turn to die

[@KjSaidSo]

@tjkasgl yep they told him what he needed to do. Smh Alex must have been really out of touch with reality to do all he did. I believe in God but there's no man that will tell me that God said to do those type of horrible things. We were told if we unalive someone we go to hell. How could he think he would power up to a superior being doing this stuff?? He must have had mental issues that they preyed on. Such a sin. He followed her like she was a goddess and took chads word for gold. Zulema is lucky if that tarp story was true she was definitely next to go. I wonder why he didn't follow through. Did I miss that,

[@iangallager4091]

Of course he had had a taste of prison before so the thought of being back for a lifetime probably horrified him so he could well have created a termination. Wish he had stayed to face the music really

⁉️ Serious question: Has there EVER been another trial in American history, or at least in recent memory, that has affected and involved more people, more money and resources, and/or caused more heartache than this one? It just suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks this morning how far and wide this never ending saga runs. 🤯 MIND-BLOWING!

[@cathyhelmuth823]

And still is impacting lives!

[@sondraveon1704]

You and me both it hit me this week also listening to the phone call between Chad, Lori and Jason how it was a downright shame that these two narcissists ever met. No empathy, truly bone chillingly evil people.

[@greenmanatee6462]

White privilege, the whole thing has been sickening

[@TRuru.]

Wow. Makes sense though. Good job Nate!

[@HippieChick60]

Yeah he used to work with them. These were his buds... And just like any bud would do, a heads up was given.

[@EllEss331]

I can't help but think if Chad & Lori had remained a couple for an extended length of time, she would have become so bored with him. You know how relationships are so exciting in the beginning that you overlook things that will really bug you down the road. He's such a big oaf of guy, I'm sure she'd be moving on or maybe he'd be her next victim.

[@sadiehughes6972]

Well said & agree

[@astrialindah2773]

💯 percent!

[@SteamPoweredSmurfette]

I agree with you. I also think that's why they kept amping it up. Their nonsense got so complicated that I really don't know how anyone could possibly remember it all and live by it. When I was listening to Zulema's testimony yesterday I told my husband that these idiots should have just gotten involved with DND (no disrespect intended for people who enjoy playing DND) since they keep coming up with new worlds and lives and powers and everything else that feels like some kind of mystical fantasy. I really think that any time Chad felt that Lori was getting bored he'd come up with some new bullshit to feed her ego and they just kept getting further and further into their delusional hole of being evil and stupid.

[@suekelley2109]

Wonder if she would have killed him before she got around to killing him?

[@rubyoro0]

Next victim, definitely. He knew too much. She wasn’t gonna be able to kick him out.

[@suebradley9251]

I wouldn't want one of his books

[@cinder7183]

A cemetery worker told him they were exhuming Tammy Daybell?

[@kateashby3066]

Yup. The cops have to supply a warrant which means the cemetery knew. And Chad used to be a gravedigger at the cemetery so he knew most of these ppl! So word naturally got back to him.

[@sharonm.t.2492]

​@@kateashby3066exactly, he used to be a gravedigger...

[@SteamPoweredSmurfette]

​@@sharonm.t.2492you'd think with all those years of experience he would have done a better job with those poor sweet innocent children. I was a little surprised after finding that out, I would have assumed he wouldn't have been so careless and straight up disrespectful to their little bodies.

[@persephone1583]

​@@SteamPoweredSmurfetteGiven the atrocious way Tylee and JJ were killed and the appallingly callous treatment of their bodies, it's no surprise that this disgusting oxygen-thief would bury them without any care or consideration. He and his "goddess" only wanted the kids benefits, not the kids, when that money ran out I bet the Daybell kids would have become very "dark" very quickly.

[@SteamPoweredSmurfette]

@@persephone1583 oh definitely without a doubt. I'm glad he did a terrible job because of how quick and easy it was for the police to find their bodies. I just also think it's wildly embarrassing for someone who had that much experience with digging graves and working for cemeteries couldn't even bury his victims. Chad is probably one of the most mediocre murderers I've ever seen. It's fascinating how someone can be so bad at so many things but somehow convince themselves and others that he's so special and important.

How did the worker(s) get in touch with Chad? Wasn’t he in Hawaii and no one knew where he and Lori were at that time?

[@kateashby3066]

They were calling trusted friends, just not sharing their location. So it’s also possible that it got to Chad through one of the friends, after the gossip mill started flowing? All my best guesses

They wouldn’t need to know where he was if they had his cell phone number. Obviously a trusted friend.

[@Pumpkin-vg1ur]

The fact that he asked not to have his name on Tammy's headstone says it all...not to mention that Springville where she was buried was meant to be destroyed by earthquakes. Of course he didn't want her buried where he and the kids were living.

[@iangallager4091]

You would think that if he was a person with genuine Christian values , which he obviously is not, he would step up in court and say words to the effect. 'I am just as much to blame for the deaths of the children and my own wife and accept that my fate should be whatever you decide ' But no, he has a man before him who tries to lessen his eventual penalty. Why are these people who commit these unspeakable acts given the choice not to step into the witness box and explain themselves ? They might choose to remain silent even if forced into the box but a guaranteed termination of their existence should be imposed if they do not explain themselves

[@KristinaEmerick]

You can also find them on audible

Hi Nate! Salutations to you and your sweet wife, from 🌵🪻🌵Central Texas! Let me tell you Nate, that I would be out of my mind, to purchase a book from that "person"! And I am sane of mind and of soul. By the way, the only reason why I'm using the noun "person", when referring to C, is for my comment to be amiable to KZbin's rules. Because let me tell you, that I have more than one, very well chosen qualifiers, for this "writer"...! Speaking of books, I think I might have a book of Julie Rowe, bought years and years ago,somewhere on one of my bookshelves and the day I put my hands on it, it's going bye-bye, forever! Nate, thank you for keeping me/us/the public, well informed (as much a possible) and for your very well-done job and also for your terrific personnality... ...it figures, cause you're an Aries! p.s. takes one to know one 😉😃😂

[@marysanders9461]

I was shopping for other things today on Amazon when I decided to check and see if they are still selling Chad's books. They are, as I found on earlier searches. This, time, though, I also found a series of books written by Tammy for 7-9 year olds, called Tiny Talks. Each one covers a different LDS topic. The more I read the closer to tears I became about how this wonderful woman was destroyed by a madman and his accomplices, insane with pride and lust. As a NeverMormon I can still understand how she radiated love every day of her life.

[@madsdee7803]

How would they know where to contact Chad since he was using a different phone and living in Hawaii, if it was just unintentional chit chat about "Hey man do you know why they're exhuming your wife?".
