45.2. Tammy
The human compulsion to make our victims perfect
What a week for court nerds! On top of a mountain of deadlines, I found myself keeping tabs on three different court proceedings all at once — the opening days of the Trump hush money trial, the Supreme Court deliberations of Grants Pass v. Johnson and, of course, the Chad Daybell trial.
The Daybell trial won my attention for obvious reasons. And this week — finally! — we gained long-awaited insight about the inner workings of the Daybell household.
For years, I’ve thought the brick Daybell house contained essential information about not just Chad Daybell, but his children and his late wife, Tammy. My interest in the family is manyfold, and spanned every aspect of this case. I wanted to know more about the conversations Chad had with Tammy and his family when they relocated from Springville, Utah to Rexburg, Idaho at the direction of “The Voice” in his head.
