I believe Chad’s stolen pendulum was the sole determinant of the ratings designated Light and Dark. And since they were attributed to persons who were difficult/obstacles (Dark) or helpful in some way (Light), the others in the cult just accepted them. Which is totally ridiculous.

Thank you for this update. This is sobering. I have to believe Karma is coming for her or I would lose all faith in our justice system. It is going to take awhile though as this case works through the courts. The positive: She is now a pariah in the community. I hope they will not only confine...

Do you think anyone will call on Julie Rowe to testify? I do not mean to bait or hijack the thread. I personally think JR testifying would be a train wreck.

There is an interview on HTC during which a former acquaintance of the Daybells suggests Chad revealed to his family that his ‘fiction’ books were actually based on his *true* prophetic visions. I don’t know the rules about posting those interviews. I don’t suggest this is a healthy response...

In the jails and prisons I am familiar with, neither men nor women are allowed to wear any jewelry.

I just cannot even with calling children ‘dark’ and ‘light’ based on their early childhood behavior. By this scale, I may have one of each — a son who was ‘light’ and a daughter who was ‘dark’. This lovely spirited girl challenged the heck out of me from the day she was born. She could out-argue...

Juries are a bit of a black box. It is obvious to us exactly why Prior is making this big of a deal about whether the weapon was a paintball gun or rifle. Many (most? All?) of us are convinced this incident was an attempt on Tammy’s life. But many of us have seen juries interpret testimony in...

I had the same concern re the judge being swayed by the comments of the family during the arraignment. It was very emotional. Prior to the victim statements, the judge had just begun to discuss the facts in support of a lower bond. It might *seem* as if he was predisposed to give her a lower...

I was wondering about this. The GoFund me for the family was over target as of last night. I’m sure financial support will help the family with their bills but is never going to make them whole again after this tragedy. I can’t even imagine. MC’s arraignment was heart-breaking. I’ve never seen...

Thank you BetteDavisEyes for covering this story for us. I am a former Michigander and am well familiar with this area, but I wouldn’t have seen this news at all where I live now. I really hope this doesn’t go to trial, for the family of the children and all of those affected. Likely however...

Denial is tough and runs so deep with close family members and friends, especially in a case like murder. I had a close relative who committed a violent rape and murder against a beautiful and sweet young woman. Even though I followed enough true crime to know better and abhorred the crime, my...

I also really like Lindsey Blake as a prosecutor. She is such a rockstar — intelligent with her specifically directed questions to get to the heart of the important testimony. Also she is way more even keel in terms of her voice than Prior — she objects and while annoyance seemed to creep into...

I would put money on the fact that Chad did dispose of Tammy’s Fitbit. I’m sure he hadn’t a clue himself about how the technology actually worked — he wouldn’t know what was stored and what was not stored. But no question Lori would have counseled him to dispose of it.

Coroners in rural counties are often elected positions. They often have no medical or investigative training. In our medium-sized county — which includes a state capital — for years the coroner’s primary business was auto-repair. Which BTW he was awesome at that. But bring forward a death that...

Prayers for Tammy. Grrr. IMO Chad has gaslit his daughter Emma, who is going to say ‘my Mom was slowing down before her death.’ These witnesses who were friends of Tammy’s are awesome witnesses and clearly cared for her and respected her more than her own family. Again all IMO and from my...

I hate doing this, but I don’t have a quotable article. I will look! Apparently she was offered ‘leniency’ for her testimony about where the live rounds came from and rejected that offer.

Wow. Today’s testimony of the professional armorer is compelling and damning. HGR’s actions on set are so completely substandard. I have been watching the trial so far but not much of the pretrial publicity and I don’t know NM law, so please forgive my ignorance. My question is honest: is HGR...

Yay! to the sentencing decision. KA will never walk free. The $10,000 fine is also glad news. I don’t know the exact details of of encumbering prisoner funds in Texas prisons, but in other states, the inmate is allowed certain monetary deposits to their account every month that is free and...

I haven’t read every single post in this thread so please forgive me for any repetition. My feeling is that while KA was super jealous of Mo as a (past and possibly current/future) love interest and intimate partner to CS, she was also beyond envious of Mo’s amazing success as a competitive...

I believe BK is full of hubris. IMO he applied to the internship with the Pullman police department believing he was bringing his incredible insight and knowledge to share with ‘rural’ LE and when planning his crime, he seriously underestimated the resources and intelligence of investigators...
