So do we know if the Daybell kids ever met Tylee and JJ?
But MG said that Chad's children visited Lori in her townhouse after Tammy's funeral and that Lori went to California with his family for thanksgiving.Doubt it. Seems like CD is very good at compartmentalizing his various "lives". I doubt that they even met their new Stepmother.
I don't know for sure, but she did said Ned Snyder ( or Nick Schneider) was a DARK SPIRIT--that CV had previously known--who possessed CV (who was a light spirit IIRC) which now made CV a zombie. I wonder if this could mean after TR--a dark spirit-- was killed, they believed she possessed JJ (light) and turned him into zombie. Sick, sick stuff, but as we learn more and more, anything is possible. Moo.I thought in part 1 she said she was going to get into the meanings of zombie and dark, and explain the difference. Did I imagine that?
I will play it back to check, if no one else remembers her saying that.
IIRC, apart from zombies there are also dark translated beings, like the two Rexburg detectives. There's only 50 of them worldwide.I thought in part 1 she said she was going to get into the meanings of zombie and dark, and explain the difference. Did I imagine that?

Yeah, it is very weird....that is the only time MG chokes up is when she talks about Lori sitting in her jail cell and not ever having what she truly wanted....not being able to “look pretty”.
No choking up about the two children who she believes are “no longer on this planet”...and the others who are no longer here.
And as tough as it is to watch Melanie’s interviews, I am very grateful and thankful that she’s speaking out. Her words and confirmations make it difficult for Chad and Lori to continue with their lies.
Sure, some people close to them will still believe the story about threatening people/custody. However, reasonable people will listen to Melanie and realize they’ve been played. All so that two people could be together.
(And even writing that last sentence makes me angry. Just get a divorce if you want to be with someone else. Sheesh.)
I'm starting to think that way.
What is the purpose of MG coming forward in these interviews?
It's not to enlighten us ( the public.)
MG and LE (I believe MG and LE working together) have a purpose here. Who better to try to influence the "group" than an insider herself who talks about how she loves them, who at one point believed the sames things they did. If Melanie has changed her mind, and they love and trust her, then maybe they should rethink their ideas. She is speaking to Lori and Chad, and to their supporters and others who still believe all the delusions. Here I am, she's saying, I've changed my beliefs and I'm ok, I'm truly living my faith now. I've seen the light. Maybe other insiders can decide tell to tell the truth too.
If she came out angry and criticizing and rejecting every aspect of what she previously believed, and trashing Lori and Chad, they wouldn't listen.
This may be a way for them (others supporters who haven't told the truth) to see how they can speak up and tell the truth.
IMO
I wish I could like that a 1000 times, this is how I see it too. I see these interviews more about appealing to the players then anything else. Trying to bring them to the light and the truth, to come clean and repent. Jmo I think the ultimate goal is to bring the truth out.I'm starting to think that way.

MG admits that police have been sympathetic, so it is very likely that she is still working with them. That's in contrast to the police giving MBP "a hard time". I'm not sure that Lori and Chad will respond to MG's plea. They have too much to lose. If MG is trying to convince "the others" to follow her example, who else could that be, besides MBP and ZP? How could their testimonies help in finding the missing kids? I hope that after this interview, at least some of Chad's friends realize that they've been duped by him in regard to the kids' safety.I'm starting to think that way.

Doubt it. Seems like CD is very good at compartmentalizing his various "lives". I doubt that they even met their new Stepmother.
According to the last interview Melanie Gibb gave, she says Lori had the kids over for cookies. Anyone know the exact time from the video?Doubt it. Seems like CD is very good at compartmentalizing his various "lives". I doubt that they even met their new Stepmother.
Lori also told MG that she passed her mental evaluation in January/February with flying colors. Maybe she was lying or maybe she was indeed able to win over everyone with her charm. It might help her in jail, too.Didn't MG say that Lori had them all over at her place for cookies after Tammy's funeral? And, according to Lori, they all fell in love with her?
See, they had to use a closet because nobody has a wardrobe any more.You inspired me to actually look this up, and I got some X-Files references, and a few promising Google Books, one of which may well be where CD cribbed the idea from and which describes a cave dwelling visible through a portal that appears in a closet in a room otherwise identical to a real one.
I'm torn between a sort of diaphanous wedding-cake chair with surrounded by blurry, school-disco quality light FX, and a kind of furry dollar sign that two can sit in while being pulled along. A (small) angelic host choir would be de rigour for either.
I think the key idea is likely a specialized space for those who are sufficiently high up the spiritual chain to be chosen for the profound tasks that await and the private but homely closet space reflects that spiritual seriousness. The air of faint ridiculousness that comes with it has to do with the impoverished imaginations that produced the need for it as a cover, IMO, for something far more earthbound.

I think it’d just lead to more questions and we’d still have two missing kids. JmoWouldnt it be great if Chad did one of these public interviews and claimed he really never believed any of it and it was all BS so that he could sell more books.
It might have been a lie. Clearly Lori and Chad have no qualms about lying. But do you think neighbors would have noticed a large gathering at the townhouse? All jmoThat makes sense. I'm trying to imagine all of them having cookies at Lori's... and washing them down with Koolaid, perhaps?
Probably another lie to MG, similar to the one about JJ at the airport with Kay.
Meanwhile, JJ and Tylee are nowhere to be found.
I've never heard mention of it. The kids were gone by sept 23 or 24, lori had only moved to Rexburg Aug 31 - sept 1. Not sure of exact dates so I put a span jmoSo do we know if the Daybell kids ever met Tylee and JJ?
