YouTube Description
as posted by the channelST. ANTHONY -- Lori Daybell called her husband Chad from the Madison County Jail the morning investigators discovered the remains of Joshua "JJ" Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 17.
On Tuesday, during the preliminary hearing for Chad, Madison County Prosecutors played a recording of the call made on June 9, at 11:03 a.m. Lt. Jared Willmore of the Madison County Sheriff's Office oversees the jail and testified in court Lori placed the call that morning.
"Are you okay?" Lori says in the call. Chad responds by saying, "They are searching the property."
By the time the call between Chad and Lori happened, investigators with the Rexburg Police Department, Fremont County Sheriff's Office, and the FBI were searching the Daybell property in Salem for four hours. With a search warrant in hand, investigators focused on two areas of the property.
In the call, Chad tells Lori he loves her multiple times and for Lori to pray. He also tells Lori that her attorney Mark Means might be contacting her. Daybell tells Lori he is glad she called.
"So, we'll see what transpires," Chad says.
By the afternoon, detectives recovered the body of JJ wrapped in plastic and duct tape. The following day, the burnt and charged remains of Tylee were also unburied yards away on the property.
Within an hour of the phone call, Chad drove away from the property on North 1900 East. Law enforcement followed, stopped Chad, and placed him into custody. The phone call played in court Tuesday is the last known direct communication between Chad and Lori since his arrest.
Chad is charged with two felony counts of conspiracy to commit destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence, and two felony counts of destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence.
Lori is also charged with two felony counts of conspiracy to commit destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence. She is in jail in Madison County and is awaiting a preliminary hearing later this month.
Chad Daybell’s preliminary hearing continues Tuesday at 9 a.m. with John Prior, Daybell’s attorney, cross-examining Gibb. EastIdahoNews.com will provide complete coverage of the hearing.
