Inside convicted murderer Chad Daybell's former home

Seeing the house was fascinating because it highlighted how simple a life Chad was living. No wonder he fantasized about living in Hawaii w/no kids & his “goddess lover.” Chad was a childish simpleton who turned into a killer to escape his ordinary life. So sad for the innocent victims & all the suffering he caused.

[@marlysmithsonian5746]

Chad had enough to do and be away from there, on a desert island, or whatever he wanted. I cannot imagine, for the life of me, HOW this was ok in their minds. Chad was a lazy slug who lived off his wife. I cannot wrap my head around all of this.

[@Pennylee58]

All that land and one very claustrophobic house.

[@DeJaVuCa]

Keeping in mind that in the USA property is so expensive, one can afford a small yard/large house or More land/smaller place. But Regardless of the house bad things happened there. I could never live amongst such evil energies.

[@nikkie5912]

How small the home is keeps getting mentioned but this was the size homes built in that time period. Homes have gotten bigger in the United States over the last decades. My grandparents raised 6 kids in a house smaller than this one. Now I live in a house that is 3 times that size and there's only 3 of us.

[@farmerinthedells]

Absolutely.

[@Julesorjulz]

When I think of the kids, I can't help but think of Tylee in that interview video. She's just sitting in that chair, cracking her knuckles, waiting for the interviewer to be done talking to Lori. Seemingly like any other normal teenager. She had no idea what her near future would become. We keep her memory alive, but it's tragic to know that she's now just that. A memory. A young girl with so much future ahead of herself. She didn't even have the chance. Her mom ripped it from underneath her. If there's an afterlife, a heaven, I really hope it allows us to forgive the people who hurt us because that would be such a painful thing to know that your life ended at the hands of your own family. I hope those kids didn't even realize what was happening when it happened. 😢 My heart breaks for not only what they went through, but what could have been. Rest in heaven Tylee and JJ ❤

[@kaylasingleton2006]

What struck me the first time I actually saw Tylee & Lori interacting with each other in a video was how normal their mother-daughter relationship appeared & how seemingly close they were. Tylee clearly loved Lori & was loyal to her above anyone else. It was also clear to me that Tylee, being the oldest daughter, had taken on the role of being her mother's protector & friend. After seeing them together, I recognized my own relationship w my mom as a teenager, in Tylee & Lori's relationship. So, it is that much more unbelievable & devastating than Lori ended up killing Tylee. I can't imagine the betrayal & confusion Tylee must have felt not only immediately prior to her death, but also in the weeks/days leading up to it when Lori's loyalty was probably shifting from her children to Chad & her thinking was becoming increasingly irrational.

[@LadyScaper]

Nice seeing you 2 in reports together. 💕

[@Tiange678]

My thoughts? Beyond evil. Innocent lives were lost over lust and greed.

[@kimberlyrogers0804]

It is so spooky that Chad’s kids wanted to continue living there after the kids were found. I’d want to get as far away from there as possible. Even if there was irrefutable proof that Chad had nothing to do with the murders, I still wouldn’t have wanted to stay there.

[@Ab12120]

I think the lawyer eventually took it cuz Chad didn't have 2 cents in the bank and when your only asset is a home- land is always valuable.

[@kimberlyrogers0804]

@@Ab12120but Emma still lived there while her dad’s trial was going on. That means they lived there for several years knowing that the bodies were found in their yard.

[@frand9174]

That house was claustrophobic, enough to drive anyone living there crazy. Except for the one big window in front, and multiple small windows over the sink area in the kitchen, every room had small windows high up in the wall. So little natural light, so depressing. Glad it's gone.

[@barbaraanne2136]

Five children were raised in that house. They had bunk beds? One bathroom? Tammy had an education and worked hard as a librarian and mother. She was amazing. She deserved better. Rest in peace, Tammy. You are missed.

Having in mind that only Tammy was providing with a very low wage, that's all they could have afforded. Chad was making a ridiculous amount of money for a married man. Lazy brat.

[@chiricanita6697]

@@lilg2300it’s a ranch style home, many houses where build like that back in the day. Idaho gets covered in a lot of snow a large part of the year, so smaller windows helped a lot.

[@michelleb7399]

@@chiricanita6697Thanks for that perspective. I live in western Oregon, where we typically have mild winters. I have windows all over the house and love natural light and love to open the windows on nice days to have a cross-breeze through the house. I was looking at the outside of the Daybell house and was really off-put by the small windows. But your description helps me understand why that design may have been preferred when that house was built.

For someone who was supposed to be a successful author, Chad Daybell lived in a very small, plain-looking home.

[@dianavaldez3371]

He was truly a legend in his own mind.

[@Kelliebelle44]

His books weren’t well known. I actually bought one well over a decade ago at a used bookstore in Utah. I often keep stacks of books by my bed and sometimes the stacks tip over. Strangely Chad’s book is the only book that my dog ever peed on and I had to throw it away. (That happened years before he committed his crimes) My sweet doggie saved me from reading that trash although I am certain I would have seen through his garbage and thrown it out myself anyway. Good thing I only spent 50 cents on it. 😂

[@truthspeaker711]

And Emma and Garth knew nothing in that close proximity? Lies. Apples don't fall far from the Chad Daybell tree.

[@Kelliebelle44]

Lori never planned to live there and Chad didn’t expect her to. They were counting on Charles’ million dollar insurance policy as well as Tammy’s life insurance that was around $400k, I think. Chad would drag poor Tammy to that place where she didn’t want to move but he wouldn’t expect Lori to put up with it. He was horrible to Tammy even before he murdered her.

[@raincadeify]

I'm curious about why Daybell would go through the silliness of the church pick up/drop off? Why not just have Alex remove his sim at home, drive to the church and walk to the house? How is it that whoever planned these murders and attempted murders (Chad no doubt) was so inept, while the actual murder of Tammy and Alex so forensically clean? How is a death made to look like a heart attack? How is it that the person that figured that out also thought it a smart plan to send Alex out in broad daylight to take shots at people? Actually, that part seems similar to to killing Charles at Lori's house with 4 witnesses..

[@ShelleySorenson]

It could have been a nice place. The house is really cute. The view is absolutely beautiful. They could have been happy. I would have loved to have lived in that house and land. (Obviously, before it was such a tragic place) I would have made good memories there. I have heard Chad was jealous of his brother and their big house and 12 acres. But this was a nice place in a wonderful area. The lesson is to learn to be thankful for what you have. A lot of paint and a few decorations can make a place look very cheerful.

[@ShelleySorenson]

Also, be thankful for the people in your life. It sounds like Tammy was a wonderful person. My dad always said, "It is better to love the one you have than to have the one you think you love." In this case, it seemed more like lust.

[@harp.string1949]

I think retracing Alex's steps when he made that trip to Mexico for these unknown drugs he acquired a few days before he died. I think that trip is the key to his death. The man suddenly dies the day after Tammy's exhumation. Come on now. Coincidence? Yeh, sure. I somehow think he took something that hastened his death, something that didn't show up, or something that wasn't tested for and so forth. I still think suicide no matter what anyone thinks. 😮
