SALEM, Idaho-- A neighbor who lives across the street from Chad Daybell is describing what he saw in the months after two children went missing. The remains of those children were discovered on Daybell's property.
Family members confirmed the remains recovered by Rexburg Police and the FBI belong to Joshua JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan. JJ would have recently turned 8 years old, and Tylee was 17.
Both disappeared at different times from Rexburg, Idaho last September.
Matthew Price said he's lived across the street from Chad Daybell, the entire time Chad and his family have lived in Idaho. He's been following the investigation into the missing children, and the suspicions that centered on his neighbor.
"We've been very concerned the whole time for JJ and Tylee," Matthew said.
He watched out his windows and from his yard as law enforcement spent two days digging in Chad's yard, and searching the property.
Matthew recognized the area where investigators brought in a backhoe to dig a deep hole, where it appears they recovered the children's remains.
Now that he thinks back, he is remembering some incidents that stand out in that exact spot.
"We noticed they were having a few bonfires that were kind of out of the ordinary," he explained. "They had a big bonfire last fall, and they had two or three big bonfires this spring."
