Published By admin with Comments 0
Chad Daybell calmly talked to his adult daughter about handling finances and other family matters as he was detained on the day investigators found the remains of Lori Vallow’s two children buried in the backyard of his Idaho property.
“Yeah, I’m not coming back,” Mr Daybell told his daughter Emma in never-before-seen video footage that was played for the jury in his triple murder trial on Monday.
The “doomsday cult” author, 55, who is now on trial for the murders of his wife’s two children, Tylee Ryan, 16, and JJ Vallow, seven, as well as his former wife Tammy Daybell, was arrested at his home in Rexburg, Idaho on 9 June 2020.
Rexburg detective Eric Wheeler testified on Monday about taking Mr Daybell into custody after JJ’s body was found.
Prosecutors played video from the police cruiser that showed Mr Daybell in the back seat talking to his daughter Emma who was emotional as she approached the car and tearfully told her dad, “I love you so much.”
