Until the Daybell kids start talking, we won’t know the details of Chad’s lies. But IMO, any of Chad’s kids who were exposed to his PAP activities would be aware of Lori from the podcasts Chad occasionally joined, at the very least. It was also shared that one of Chad’s sons told a neighbor that Chad met Lori in Hawaii and just married her. I suspect Chad is trying to have them believe that he didn’t plan on meeting her in Hawaii, rather, it was a coincidence, perhaps even guided by spirit Tammy. This fits in with other sources that quote Chad as saying that he was reconnecting with her. Other info in the MSM exposes these points as lies, but the kids might not be seeing, or might not be able to believe those points yet.
