FOX 13 Investigates: Do Chad Daybell’s books leave clues about missing Rexburg children?
January 31, 2020

Chris Bertram, a retired deputy chief of police with the Unified Police Department and current professor specializing in criminal profiling, said he believes FBI agents are scouring through dozens of Chad Daybell’s books to help solve this complicated case.
Bertram said he believes the books give investigators a unique opportunity to figure out Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow’s motive for refusing to cooperate with the investigations into their missing kids and deceased spouses.
“(Agents) can look into the psychology of people like this,” Bertram said. “Two books that I’m going to read first? His autobiography and his last publication.”
Chad Daybell’s autobiography was published in 2017.

Chad Daybell brands the novels as “fiction,” but he believes his stories are true.
“The most common question I receive is, ‘What parts of your books are based on what you’ve seen in vision, and what part did you make up?’” Chad Daybell wrote in his autobiography. “The short answer is that I don’t fictionalize any of the events portrayed. I’m really not that creative… My torn veil allows information to be downloaded into my brain from the other side. The scenes I am shown are real events that will happen.”
“That tells us something about his personality,” Bertram said. “He believes what he is hearing gives him direction in his life… We may see hidden messages in these writings.”
At the beginning of Chad Daybell’s autobiography is a dedication to his wife Tammy: “My one and only.”

“We may find out later that religion played nothing into this,” Bertram said. “That it was all motivated by money, maybe, or it was motivated by a relationship.”
“Are those the big three? Religion, love, and money?” FOX 13 reporter Adam Herbets asked.
“You know, I think those are definitely the ones you want to start with,” Bertram said.
Please consider tuning in on Friday night for a special 30-minute series detailing this case.
“FOX 13 Investigates: The Search for JJ and Tylee” airs on Friday night at 9:30pm.
