Jurors Hear Chad Daybell’s Chilling 911 Call for Ex-Spouse
Published By admin with Comments 0
A month after prosecutors say Doomsday author Chad Daybell colluded with his paramour to kill her two children, he called 911 about another death—this one a little closer to home.
“I’m Chad the husband. She’s clearly dead,” Daybell is heard saying in an October 19, 2019, call to a Fremont County Sheriff’s Office dispatcher, according to EastIdahoNews. “She’s frozen.”
The startling 911 call, played in Ada County Court on Friday, began when one of Daybell’s sons called in a panic after he found his mother, Tammy Daybell, “stiff.” Daybell, a former gravedigger-turned-popular apocalyptic novelist for the Mormon audience, suddenly took the phone to declare his wife of nearly 30 years was deceased. He began to cry as he gave dispatchers his Idaho address.
When Officer Alyssa Greenhalgh arrived at the home, Daybell was “distraught” and crying as he led deputies to his bedroom—where he said he had moved Tammy on the bed. Greenhalgh said Daybell then told her that his wife had woken up coughing the night before and she eventually fell off the bed. The officer told jurors that Daybell also made a point to stress that Tammy hated to see doctors.
