DAYBELL MURDERS: The Case Against Lori Vallow & Chad Daybell

Chad Daybell's Idaho home, the site where the bodies of Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow were discovered in June 2021, has been sold to a local nonprofit organization. The Fremont County property, which also saw the death of Chad's first wife, Tammy Daybell, in October 2019, was purchased by SJ Healing Crossroads Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to helping those affected by traumatic experiences.

Court records reviewed by Court TV confirmed the sale, which occurred after Chad Daybell and his second wife, Lori Vallow Daybell, were convicted of multiple charges in connection to the deaths. Chad was sentenced to death, while Lori received a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

Before the sale, ownership of the property had been transferred to Chad's defense attorney, John Prior, through a quitclaim deed, a move revealed during Chad’s trial by a witness. After Chad's conviction, the property was listed for sale in June and subsequently purchased by SJ Healing Crossroads Inc. for $350,000.

The nonprofit organization was founded by a local couple who chose to remain anonymous. Their primary concern was to prevent the property from being "exploited as a  macabre tourist attraction," as reported by KSL-TV. "We feel compassion for the families and the community, and we didn’t want to see it purchased by someone whose intentions were inappropriate," the couple shared. "There were rumors about how someone wanted to buy it and turn it into an… Airbnb and we just couldn’t let that happen."

In line with their mission, the couple is now raising funds to demolish the home and other structures on the property. A statement on the SJ Healing Crossroads website reads: "SJ Healing Crossroad’s provides community help and support for those affected by traumatic experience or loss. We recently purchased the property formerly owned by Chad Daybell in Rexburg, Idaho… The funds donated will be used to remove the house and outbuildings. This will be a start in changing the property into a positive place where such a tragedy occurred."

The fate of properties linked to tragic events often sparks public interest. In a similar move, the house where four University of Idaho students were murdered was demolished in December, with the suspect, Bryan Kohberger, expected to face trial next year. Likewise, a three-story building at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the site of the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history, was demolished in June.

Additionally, the Moselle property where Alex Murdaugh murdered his wife and youngest son has changed hands multiple times since his conviction. The recent sale of Chad Daybell's home and its impending demolition underscore a growing trend to transform these sites of sorrow into spaces that foster healing and community support.

SJ Healing Crossroads Inc. aims to turn the page on this chapter of Rexburg's history by creating a positive and supportive environment where the community can come together to heal from the trauma inflicted by such a tragic event.

The Idaho home once owned by convicted murderer Chad Daybell has hit the market, listed at $350,000. This seemingly ordinary property in Rexburg, ID, is infamous for being the site where the remains of Daybell's two stepchildren, Joshua "JJ" Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 17, were discovered buried in the backyard in June 2020.

Daybell, recently sentenced to death for his role in the murders, left behind this four-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch-style home, built in 1960. The home sits on just under 4 acres of land and features 1,644 square feet of living space. The property is now listed on Realtor.com, and its sale is expected to attract attention due to its notorious past.

The discovery of the children’s bodies in the backyard shocked the nation. Buried alongside the children were the Daybell family's deceased pets, a grim detail that has forever marked the property. This dark history is a significant hurdle for any potential buyer to consider.

According to property records, Daybell transferred ownership of the home to his attorney, John Prior, in 2021. This move was likely made to help defray Daybell's mounting legal costs. Now, the task of selling the property falls to Prior, who must find a buyer willing to overlook its gruesome history.

The interior of the home, as seen in available pictures, features a basic, mostly white paint scheme. The living room and kitchen show signs of wear typical of a home built in the 1960s. The kitchen includes a window over the sink and a small island, while the main living area has a tiled hearth with a TV placed in front of it, obscuring whether there's a working fireplace. There’s also space for an upright piano and two easy chairs, adding to its mid-century charm.

Despite its historical and emotional weight, the property offers significant potential. Buyers must decide whether to rehabilitate the existing structure or demolish it, a decision that echoes the fates of other homes tied to high-profile crimes.

The killings, carried out as part of a "doomsday" plot, have left a lasting impact on the community. While Daybell has been sentenced to death, the lengthy appeals process and the infrequency of executions in Idaho mean it could be years before his sentence is carried out. Meanwhile, the home where these horrific events unfolded remains a poignant reminder of the tragedy.

The listing itself lacks the usual flowery descriptions seen in real estate promotions, likely due to the property’s dark past.

In a move to protect the privacy and dignity of the victims' families, Judge Steven Boyce has permanently sealed nearly 100 exhibits from the high-profile Chad Daybell murder trial. The decision, announced after Daybell was sentenced to death for the murders of Tammy Daybell, Joshua “JJ” Vallow, and Tylee Ryan, comes in response to multiple requests for access to the evidence from authors and media members.

“Certain requests seek to obtain all of the exhibits in this case, with some expressly requesting the autopsy photos published to the jury,” Judge Boyce explained in his order. “The Court notes that at trial those photos were published to the jurors, the parties, the Court, and in some instances privately to the victims, upon their request. They were not, however, publicly disseminated.”

Judge Boyce stressed the importance of balancing the victims' rights with the public's right to information, particularly highlighting the impact on the families involved. He noted that several victim impact statements during the sentencing expressed deep distress over the behavior of individuals claiming to be media. These individuals, Boyce pointed out, have often sensationalized the tragedy, causing ongoing psychological trauma to the families.

“The Court was particularly moved by several victim impact statements at sentencing expressly criticizing individuals proclaiming to be ‘media’ who, in the course of this case, have disrupted the lives of the families of these victims,” Boyce wrote. “Some of those family members described in detail the psychological trauma they have unfairly been subjected to by the ‘media,’ simply because they had some familial relationship to the victims in this case.”

Boyce clarified that his reference to “media” does not include established and historically recognized reporting agencies but rather targets "true crime" bloggers and YouTubers who have exploited the case for sensational content. By sealing 97 exhibits, including autopsy photos and images of human remains found on Daybell’s property, Boyce aims to protect the families from further distress.

“The interests of the victims and their family members to be spared the ongoing trauma of such sensitive or gruesome material being disseminated is not outweighed by the right of public disclosure of this evidence,” Boyce wrote. “Victims Tylee Ryan, JJ Vallow, Tamara Douglas Daybell and their family members’ respect, dignity and privacy are best protected by the continued sealing of these exhibits.”

This decision underscores the court’s commitment to prioritizing the mental health and privacy of those directly affected by the tragic events, ensuring that they are not further victimized by public exposure to graphic evidence. As the legal proceedings surrounding Chad Daybell's case continue to unfold, the court's ruling reflects a broader concern about the ethical responsibilities of media coverage in high-profile criminal cases.
