3 Jun 2020 – Lt Ron Ball of RPD interviewed MG and her boyfriend DW in Pleasant Grove, Utah. They discussed in depth the weekend of “Sep 22 and 23 2019” they had stayed at LVD’s apartment in Rexburg. (Note the dates are a Sunday and Monday – error?) See entry for 22 Sep 2019 for further detail. (source pca)
3 Jun 2020 – Lt Ron Ball of RPD asked Special Agent Ricky Wright of FBI to analyse the frequency of AlC’s visits to CD’s property in Sep 2019. The response was 4 visits in Sep; 6th, 9th, 23rd and 25th. Visits on 6th and 25th were indoor, not in the backyard. (source pca)

4 Jun 2020 – An article containing a video interview of SF by Nate Eaton of East Idaho News is published. SF is an author of books about near death experiences published by CD’s company Spring Creek Book Co. starting in 2004. She ceased doing business with him in 2017 when he started publishing non-Mormon material she did not want to be associated with. He has refused to return her book rights. SF says he had never mentioned his own alleged near-death experiences to her in any of their conversations, which she finds odd because in her experience people usually want to share their experiences with others they know will be understanding. When SF heard that CD had re-married in Hawaii she was stunned, particularly to “a woman who didn’t know where her children were”. Other entries detailing her knowledge of CD are in this timeline against their relevant dates. (source EIN)

9 Jun 2020 – Tuesday - a search warrant was executed at CD’s Salem residence and property at 7:00am. With the assistance of a local FBI ERT (evidence response) team RPD located multiple sites of interest. Those sites corresponded with the cell phone data of AlC’s phone when he was at the property. One of those sites correlated to a location on the property CD had texted TD about.
06/29/2020 Probable Cause Affidavit of Detective Ron Ball
JJ’s remains are found : - WARNING GRAPHIC - The first site of interest was located on the north side of the pond near the north edge of the property. AlC’s phone pinged here twice on 23rd Sep 2019. A patch of ground of approx. 4 feet by 2.5 feet appeared to be disturbed and the weed growth on the disturbed ground was shorter than surrounding weed growth. Apparent sod etching was also noticed. The top layer of sod was removed by the ERT. Underneath the layer of sod were several large flat rocks. The rocks were removed revealing two pieces of flat paneling. Similar paneling was found in a barn located on the property (at some point). The paneling was removed and investigators exposed a round object covered in black plastic. A strong odor was then noticed. A small incision was made in the black plastic using a small sharp instrument and a layer of white plastic was observed. An incision was made in the white plastic exposing the crown of a head covered in light brown hair. The remaining dirt was methodically removed, exposing what appeared to be a body wrapped in black plastic, tightly wrapped around the body and secured with grey duct tape. Cheryl Anderson associate professor of anthropology at Boise State Uni was present on scene and advised the remains appeared to be human. Due to the depth and width of the ‘grave’ and the rocks and paneling found, it would be impossible for one person to have dug it, placed a body in it, placed the rocks and paneling in it and covered it back up in 17 minutes.
Tylee’s remains are found: - WARNING GRAPHIC – A second site of interest was located behind a red unattached out-building roughly in the center of the property near the fire pit. Next to the fire pit is an area used as a pet cemetery. AlC’s phone pinged here several times on 9th Sep 2019.
The ground in this area was probed with a steel pole and several areas of disturbed ground were located. Buried remains of a cat and a dog were found during a search of this ground. No raccoon remains were located. A backhoe was used to dig further layers of dirt. Bricks were then located at a depth of approx 1 foot. The soil was then examined and two bones were located. Based on their condition Cheryl Anderson was unable to determine whether the bones were human.
The dirt in this area was searched methodically and several other items of interest were found, including more bones, charred tissue and charred bones. These were determined by Cheryl Anderson to be human remains. Photos were provided to Sara Getz PhD, a forensic anthropologist and she was able to identify these remains as being non-adult human remains.
Chad Daybell is detained by police: CD was observed by officers to be continuously watching where officers were searching, while sitting in his vehicle in his front driveway and in his vehicle across the street at his daughter’s residence. Around the time that the crown of JJ’s head was discovered CD was observed leaving his daughter’s residence in a grey SUV. Lt Ron Ball and other officers pursued him in police vehicles, conducted a traffic stop and detained him. 06/10/2020 Probable Cause Affidavit of Detective Ron Ball

9 Jun 2020, 7:00am – execution of search warrant at CD’s property: RDH testified that CD’s son answered the door and he and another son let police into CD’s room where he was told they had a search warrant. CD sat in the kitchen area and spoke with his attorney in the kitchen area. He was allowed to remain on the property but would have to be accompanied by an officer, for officer safety reasons. He was also told he was free to leave the residence. CD went and sat in the driver’s seat of his vehicle, parked in the driveway off 1900E, facing west, approx. 10 feet from door of garage. CD was observed by RDH to be on the phone, continually and intently looking back over his right shoulder. He also got out and stood at the back of his vehicle at one point. When RDH stood in that spot he could see the north side of the property at the pond area. RDH was standing next to pond when the sod, rocks and panel were excavated, and he recognized the smell of decomposition. He guesses remains were found about 6-8 inches down - shallow. When JJ’s body was recovered at about 11am it was wrapped in black plastic covered in duct tape. It was placed into a bag in the coroner’s vehicle and taken to Madison Memorial Hospital morgue.
RDH assisted placing CD into custody at a traffic stop.
RDH assisted in digging up a dog and a cat in the pet cemetery. He later observed the dig after they had located “a mass of burnt flesh and charred bone”. Residence was secured for night.

9 Jun 2020 – FBI Agent SD testified as to how the search on CD’s property was coordinated, clandestine graves identified, excavations conducted and remains recovered.

Burial site 1 (next to pond) was approx 1.5ft deep. Site 2 (pet cemetery) approx 2ft deep – down to top of remains. He would want to wait for scanner data to be more precise. He confirmed he was wearing protective gloves when he brushed the soil away from the black plastic bag covering JJ’s remains. Source: CD’s Preliminary Hearing Aug 2020

Law enforcement was advised that it would still be wise to obtain a DNA verification and sufficient soft tissue exists which was not burnt. They are in the process of having said tests performed.

She had this personality that feels like Velcro. She just takes you in and she doesn’t let you go. They said that different earthquakes were gonna happen, different invasions. He said the 144k were going to move to Rexburg. Most people would end up in tents, but ‘we don’t like to camp so we’re not going to be in the tents’. It was like this secret mission.”
