      Correct. I didn't care for that statement. The onus needs to be put on the proper people, the murderers. This case is firstly about people being murdered, which is why the perpetrators have been charged with murder ( with Lori already found guilty of murder ) Trust me, when the children's bodies were found no one in LE was speaking about how they passed on.

      Making that call was brave. And she has cooperated ever since.

    My thoughts about Prior trying to defend Chad by saying Chad didn't know the children were in the backyard that Alex, Lori and Melanie you're the only ones who knew. Here's the problem with Chad not knowing where the kids were..
    Tammy was still alive and I know Garth was living in his parents house..
    Tylee , in my opinion it would be impossible for Alex to go into Chads back yard and start a fire in the pit, cut Tylee up (sorry everyone it bugs me too) and try to burn her alone in the backyard without anyone knowing it or seeing it..Then take her remains and bury them in the pet sematary , without any help and Chad , Tammy and Garth not knowing Alex was in the yard.
    Same thing for JJ, only that time Tammy was in Utah and Chad sent Tammy a text that he had to kill a raccoon and buried it in the pet cemetery..
    That right there is evidence that Chad was digging in his backyard also the detective stated they never found a raccoon in the pet sematary.
    The neighbor across the street reported bonfires happening several times lately..
    Alex couldn't have pulled all of that off all by himself..

      @laurenmay2098 4 місяці тому

      I think he was already using the so call vibration. You keep saying that into the world and it might happen. This is like what they were doing to cause accidents with Charles and Tammy. When they pray, their prayers were to forces to cause an accident. I forgot the name they used at trial. It is something that is new age healing or contrary. Some use stones in the body for healing, they massage the body because of the power of their hands. Others don’t even touch the body. Energy, that is the name they are using. Energy for good or energy for good. All new age and this teaching penetrated churches since the 80s, but strongly in the 90s. Maybe in the USA longer. I study some branch from the Protestant side, there is biblical base, but if you really study the Bible, you will see the interpretation is not right with most of the new testament teachings of Jesus. The majority of the Book of Mormon are quite far from the New Testament. Jesus would not tell Joseph smith to write book’s contradictions to his sacrifice on the cross. There is nothing we can do to inherit the kingdom of heaven. There is nothing in the New Testament about being married in heaven or new earth. Jesus said we will not marry or be given to marry in heaven. I rather believe what Jesus said, not what Joseph Smith said Jesus told him. It is sad, because some of us don’t think Mormonism is true Christianity. But that is not up to me, I completely understand even the atheists. I understand why they can’t be a believer, because I can’t be a non believer. It is not in me.

I’m not surprised by Chad’s behavior. He exhibits alot of the same behavior my ex had. So charming but so evil. As a researcher, there seems to be a lot of people in the funeral industry that exhibits that same behavior. So charming to strangers but so dangerous to their loved ones. They’re so convincing and creative. Also, they seem to like music or writing also. It’s the hobby where you can really see the other side of these people. They love the praise of other people and are oh so convincing. In a perfect world, these evil people would suffer for the suffering they cause others but the truth is that they don’t care.

    No, Melanie did not plot with Lori to kill JJ with Chad knowing nothing. There are two irrefutable facts:
    1. Chad told Tammy that he shot a raccoon on his property and buried it in the pet cemetery. That was where Alex and Chad buried little JJ. Why would he tell Tammy that? Because if the neighbors heard a shot, and if Tammy saw that freshly dug up spot, he had created a story to explain it. So we know Chad was involved with JJ's death AND burial.
    2. Melanie Gibbs was in the house when Alex carried JJ from the car upstairs apparently sleeping. JJ had been drugged or was already dead. Melanie saw them carry him up and said so later in testimony. She was not involved.
    3. Melanie lied about JJ to cover for Lori, because Lori asked her to. Melanie thought it had something to do with Kay Woodcock wanting JJ and Lori keeping him away from her. When Melanie realized the implications of the lie, she told the police on her own volition that she had lied. So she had nothing to do with that and did the right thing.
    The 3 culprits were Lori, Chad, and Alex. After they had no further use for Alex, he was disposed of too, under the guise of a heart attack. Alex was murdered too. I have no doubt that once Chad outlived his purpose, Lori would dispose of him too. At the heart of this evil, is Lori. She is the mastermind behind every death. She got Alex to kill Joe Ryan, then Charles Vallow, then pulled in Chad to kill Tylee and JJ, then persuaded Chad to kill his wife for the insurance money. Then they killed off Alex.
    There was a first attempt on Tammy's life when Alex tried to shoot her but failed.
    There was a shooting attempt on Brandon Boudreaux's life when he was divorcing Melanie Boudreaux, Lori's niece.
    If Brandon had died, Melanie would have killed off her 'zombie dark children' next. Melanie was 100% under Lori's influence, no one else. Lori started killing long before she met Chad.
    Lori took the money from Tylee and JJ's disability payments, veteran's benefits, and collected on insurance money. She manipulated the men around her to do her bidding. She found fellow sociopaths in both Alex and Chad, but she was the mastermind.

    This may be long. I think it was planned for JJ to be killed in the days AFTER Gibb’s visit. I don’t think Vallow was stupid enough to kill JJ with two witnesses in the house. I do think Daybell had prepared the gravesite ahead of time. I think JJ had a rough night and had a meltdown which resulted in him being injured or killed in attempts to subdue him. I think Warwick was awakened by the noise from Vallow’s room. I think Gibb & Warwick essentially “pulled the covers over their heads and went back to sleep” so they didn’t have to face the reality of what they might have thought was going on in Vallow’s room. I think Vallow locked the door and was waiting for Alex to come get JJ to take him to Daybell’s to be buried. Remember Daybell was a sexton. JJ’s grave had boards and rocks on top, creating a kind of improvised vault. Alex could not have done that in 17 minutes without someone having prepared the gravesite ahead of time (recall that large tree roots were cut to make room for the body).
    I think Ms. Blake’s manner of handling Agent Hart’s testimony was actually more effective. The jurors could read the text and then Agent Hart shared his impressions. So, in this instance, I think Prior didn’t help himself by objecting to the texts being read. Thank goodness !!

    • @laurenmay2098

      Lori and Chad wanted everyone with blood on their hands so they would keep quiet. Imho that night they tried to cast out the zombie from JJ. They bound his hands, feet and mouth. But they killed him. Then they buried the poor kid. Of course I wasn’t there, but it is my humble opinion. David didn’t have a nightmare, he witnessed or all of them witnessed the killing of JJ. The story of going looking for land to buy it, it is not true. They were looking to buried a body.

First a zombie, then dead. Next thing Tylee is deemed a zombie and goes missing. Not a trace of her or her belongings in "her" bedroom.

She knows more than she is saying and needs to speak up if she cares about justice.
      She and David, her husband, was there on the last night JJ was seen. They are probably married so they won't have to testify against each other.

    I think this group was just feeding off of each other. All Lori had to do was ask "is this person dark?" and Chad gave her the answer she obviously wanted. They were both completely in sync in their mutual goals removing obstacles to having "too many children." I think these goals/all the murders were Loris ideas based on her pattern with exes. She tried to kill Joe Ryan for years before she met Chad. She was always incredibly manipulative and excelled at turning people against each other and isolating Tylee. She didn't want Tylee around but wanted her money. Both Chad and Lori wanted to believe they were the most special people on earth. Both are on the severe end of the narcissist/ASPD spectrum, which is why they thought they were "soul mates."
    I also cant help but think that these alternative names they were giving people were a way to hide the identity of who they were planning on killing next, because they thought they were so smart and could never get caught because nothing directly linked them to the murders with the use of Alex and his subsequent death, which I am certain was also planned, because like Tylee, he was a witness as the main suspect. They really thought there was no way they could be charged with anything, with dead kids in Chads yard while he writes a book about their whole stupid affair. His lack of intelligence is truly something to behold.
