Life insurance increase, quick burial and other 'weird' things Chad Daybell's friends noticed | East Idaho News
“My dear wife Tammy passed away in her sleep early Saturday, October 19. When I awoke at around 6 a.m.,
it was clear she had been gone for several hours,” he wrote. “It came as a shock. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t been awakened somehow, but all indications are that her spirit simply slipped away during the night. Her face looked serene, with her eyes closed and a slight smile. It was devastating to discover her that way, but I’m so grateful that her death was peaceful.”......
...Five days after the post was emailed to AVOW subscribers, Chad married Lori Vallow on a Hawaii beach.
Court documents show he received $430,000 in life insurance money after Tammy died. Multiple sources say the funds came from several policies and
Chad made “significant” increases to at least one policy before Tammy passed away.
....“We were talking about how his family is doing and he told me his dad remarried,” she says. “I thought it was a joke because he kind of laughed about it afterward. I laughed and he said
, ‘No, I’m serious. My dad went to Hawaii on a business trip and met a widow and they just got married.'”
The friend wasn’t sure how to respond and sensed the Daybell children were not happy their father had remarried so quickly.
“I’ll never forget he said, ‘
My dad’s not a bad guy – he’s just done some bad things,'” she says. “I remember calling my mom that night and telling her how weird it was that
Chad’s wife hadn’t even been in the ground a month and he’s already married again.”
