Great post. He (and all reporters) must be extremely careful. I mentioned how I found a story in the UK reporting that JJ had been decapitated (based apparently on the affidavit mentioning that Chad pulled out just after they discovered "the head" near the pond.

Thanks. The other thing I didn't point out about yesterday's NY Post article that @BeckyF linked is that it also says that JJ was found "with a white plastic bag also over his head". Not unlike the story you found, this is inference from incomplete details. We may find that it's correct, when more details are eventually released, but the APC doesn't say that the second layer of plastic is a bag, nor that it's only over his head. Small things, but they can snowball as they are referenced by other news outlets and potentially added to (as happened here).

I'm a big fan of NE, as are many others. I think his use of the term dismembered was misinterpreted, when he was only trying to be sensitive to the state Tylee was found in. People took it to possibly meaning something he did not mean. From there the story just went south with Nancy Grace.
 
So in this scenario, everyone was a "light" spirit, and Melani P was their daughter? Who were their two 5.1L male offsprings then?

I wonder if Chad is still assigning light/dark labels to the spirits he is meeting in jail these days.
Nathan Eaton, the jailhouse cook and the guy who greenlit the upcoming “Baby Shark” TV show: 7.5 dark. Everybody who posts that ACx did it alone: 5.0 L.

So good I had to repost! Allot of so called leaders are like this Jim Jones, Jim Baker, Hitler, Daybell lots of cult leaders! Great post!
 
This guy? From an article in 2015...

"[SM]'s lifelong friend, Chad Daybell of Provo-based Spring Creek Books, had been trying to persuade [SM] to write a book for several years. Daybell, the book's editor and publisher, feels like [SM]'s story is one that strikes close to home for a lot of people nowadays.

"To me, it's a true hero's journey where you have a hero who takes a tumble in life and fights his way back to where he wants to be," Daybell said. "[SM] didn't always have the life he wanted to have. I think he truly wanted to be a Hall of Famer and a Super Bowl champ, but he's happier where he is now. It's an inspiring view of how life can get you down but how you can also bounce back."

Scott Mitchell: Former U., NFL quarterback says 'The Biggest Loser' show saved his life

So Chad helped him with publishing his book, "Alive Again?"

I wonder how he feels about his life long friend...

First -- I'm sorry, I was really tired and cranky last night. I think what I was reacting to was a new "interpretation" by the author of the NY Post article that--in my mind--didn't amount to anything more than speculation based on the same information you and I have. You're right that the NY Post is an approved source and I apologize for the editorializing.

But to the bolded comments, respectfully, I think the date does matter. Can you provide a link to an MSM article talking about dismemberment from before Nate's interview, because I cannot find any mention of that in MSM prior to the morning of 6/23, which is when Nate's interview with Nancy Grace took place. I don't remember any such specific mention and I can't find it right now using Google.

ETA: my point here is that poor Nate made himself the source during that interview. I can find some unapproved sources (including us) talking about it before that morning, but I cannot find any MSM sources doing so.
It was my fault. The date on the source noted on The NY post article was actually linked to EIN and it was dated after the Nate interview. I think I must have remembered it being mentioned elsewhere. Anyway I sincerely apologize for stating false information. I always try to be accurate in what I post. :)
 
"Scott Mitchell discusses his relationship about Chad Daybell as the two grew up together and also wrote a book about Mitchell's life from Springville to the University of Utah, the NFL and his appearance on The Biggest Loser. Then one day Daybell just up and left during promoting the book."

From February 2020... an interesting point of view, from someone who knew Chad. I guess Chad up and left at the time, in order to move to Rexburg:

This is an interesting listen. Thanks for posting. Once again, Chad is perceived as the "nicest guy in the world".

Absolutely! I know you do! 100% :) And admittedly, I'm fixated on a very narrow point today.
 
Honestly, I think the children were drugged with something easily accessible to LVD. Since there have been no reports of illicit drug use in AC or LVD's history - it is highly doubtful that they would go looking for heroin (IMO). I think it is much more likely that she (or he) would use something very easy to get or they already had (ie: from the Maverick store). I think it is highly likely that LVD did have other Rx's for JJ - maybe even a sleep med that we are unaware of. It could be that she just picked up Nyquil or an OTC sleep medicine and mixed it in a drink or food for the kids.

I agree. Lots of things are possible but they will have wanted to do the easiest, most convenient thing that would draw the least attention. Hell, LV may have simply had Ambien (or similar) of her own.
 
I know I have said this before...so i rarely contribute to the Risperidone conversations anymore.... BUT this was just one prescription bottle sort of hanging around. We have seen NO other prescription information. AND Janis said that Lori stockpiled medications. So my guess is that she kept the necessary prescriptions for JJ in a better controlled way.
Bottom Line: I just do not see the Risperidone as being that important.

Agreed. Here's another thought along the same lines: not only do we not know about other prescription information for JJ, we also don't know what other prescriptions the various adults in this story had access to, either. In other words, did anybody have an Rx for Ambien or another hypnotic sleep aid?

I’m holding out hope LE is able to run expanded toxicology tests and get some results now that they have Tylee and JJ.:(

The big question, for me, is why do people follow someone into 'co-creating' a cult. It's not so much all the ways Jim Jones thought he was special, but how and why did all these other people believe he was special. So much and so special that they were willing to do anything he told them to do. Why didn't they refuse to drink the kool-aid, and gang up on him and his handful of enforcers, and fight for their lives and the lives of their friends and children, even if it meant dying in the process - since they were clearly going to die anyway?'

IMO that requires looking at the psychology/character traits/circumstances of the followers, and their relationship to the leader.

So, for eg, if Hitler had been born in England or the US, regardless of his narcissistic traits, IMO neither nation would have voted him in as their leader. They didn't need or want Hitler or his message or the Nazi party because they'd won WWI, they already had an empire, they were economically prosperous, they had a functioning democratic system. Whereas, the Germans had none of those things, but they wanted them badly, and they created a shared delusion with Hitler about how he, with their support, would deliver a glorious future for Germany, etc etc.

Also, most cult leaders have a powerful ability to speak to and stir up groups or crowds. That means displaying passion, confidence, repetition, and so forth. They understand how to stage and publish propaganda, which exists for the sole purpose of getting people worked up and supporting your cause in a dire 'us vs them' way. They have innate skills in brain washing techniques, and manipulating people in groups to give up their own money and power and walk willingly into the prison of the cult, and never to leave, even though the door is unlocked.

I'll go out on a limb, even though I may hate myself for it later.

I do not know CD, nor have I read any of his books or listened to his podcasts. I am not the originator of the observation that this "cult" had hypothetically recruited 7 people out of their goal of 144,000.

And 4 out of this 7 from what we can tell, were totally in the dark about the necessity of physically killing zombies.

Cutting to the chase without adding too much to the argument, I do not believe that these killings are "cult related", though I am not sure how many it really takes to make a cult.

From listening to people who were close to Chad, apparently none of them seen him as a person in the position of authority or leadership, regardless of whether they thought of themselves as a cult or not.
