I feel for the Daybell ‘children,’ I really do. I’ve mentioned on Websleuths that I have been in their exact position, coming to terms with a family member’s guilt in a horrible crime. Denial is a powerful force and not to be underestimated. I feel for them.
But right now the Daybell ‘kids’ have a great deal of power to turn this investigation around. They are thinking adults, NOT children, as Tylee and JJ were, and they owe EVERYTHING to their beautiful mother’s memory by pushing Chad into telling the absolute and complete truth.
As for EM’s statement in the trailer that none of this would have happened if Lori Vallow hadn’t come into her father’s life? No. Just. No. CD was taking advantage of women for years with his ‘we were married in past probations’ shtick — this isn’t all on Lori. He was telling women and others in his circle for years that Tammy was going to die. MG, ZP, JR, ES, MP all knew about this ‘prophecy’ and they deserve to be held accountable for knowing and doing nothing to save this beautiful woman’s life. At the very least, they should be threatened with charges and have to present full and truthful testimony or be charged themselves.
The only true family leadership Chad can give his family now is to come completely clean with the horrific truth: that he is a murderer and killed their mother and Lori’s children. And Chad’s children deceiving themselves is a hindrance to revealing that complete truth and obtaining justice for all who have died. in every way.
