I don't know what's happened to little Joe but the evidence should be pointing to the parents and it's not. If little Joe had just wondered off in the middle of the night then the evidence should be there and I feel like he should have been found long before now. If had been killed in the house or even somewhere around the house then again evidence should be there.I really wish there were a truth serum.
MOO
Here is my concern. What if the parents really did do it? What if the prosecution goes to trial with too little of evidence to prove it and they are both aquitted? They could walk out of court, hold a public press conference for the whole world to see telling exactly what happened to little Joe and there would be nothing anyone could do to hold them accountable. NOTHING!!!Ugh, all this talk about the difficulty of prosecuting a no-body case and Joe's dad hasn't even recanted his confession that we know of. The only people claiming the confession was coerced are the grandparents, and they have a vested interest in pointing the finger at mom.
Mind you, I know it's difficult to go forward with murder charges when the body hasn't been found; I've followed at least one case where it blew up in the prosecutor's face. Then again, I also followed another case where the perp revealed the location of the body when he saw the DA ready to move forward. So who knows what the end result would be?
But... first, the dad would have to recant, then his attorney would have to file a successful motion to have the confession thrown out before any of this becomes an issue. And we still don't know what evidence LE currently is sitting on. Remember, the search warrant included knives, a pillow and a computer. We don't know the significance of those items. And there was surveillance video which LE hasn't commented on so far.
It seems to me that if Joe's dad is pointing the finger at his wife then she would reveal everything she knows in order to avoid murder charges herself. But again, we're not privvy to what's happening behind the scenes.
JMO but I do believe one or both of Joe's parents are culpable and Joe's dad is mentally capable enough of remembering where he put Joe's body. I also believe if Joe's mom witnessed his murder then she knows where his body is. So IMO they're both rolling the dice, hoping LE doesn't have enough evidence to convict either of them.
All MOO.

I feel like if drugs were a factor then there would be a history to back that up. I also find it difficult to imagine that so many involved family members, extended church family and the school would not have intervened long ago under such known circumstances. Meth addicts are especially bad at hiding their addiction. Children of meth addict parents show clear signs of trauma, neglect, malnurisment, withdrawal, behavioral issues etc... Joe and one older child in the home are school aged. Teachers and faculty are trained to spot these warning signs and obligated under law to report them.
The grandparents (on the fathers side) were not removed from the picture. They live in the home with the parents and grandchildren. It is Krystal Daniel's family that is estranged from the family. Though they have spoken out on numerous occasions I personally don't relly on their input because they are just too removed to truly speak in regards to the dynamics of the Daniels household. I have heard that Krystals childhood was a volatile situation in which abuse and addiction were involved. This could explain why that side of the family is estranged. The Aunt takes them to church on Sundays but I am not sure if she actually lives in the home or was just staying there on the night Joe disappeared due to the Grandparents being on the road for work (Grandfather is a truck driver)? It is very evident to me that there is a strong and highly involved family support system in place at least on the fathers side.

I know right??? The thing is they have not said there is a case of abusive history with little Joe or the other children. They have said that Krystal Daniel's had an abusive childhood and that she suffers from schizophrenia and bi polar depression. That concerns me. No mental disorders mentioned for the dad which makes me really wonder if he is covering for her?!?! The extended family on the fathers side is very involved with the family and helping raise the children. I really wonder if maybe such a close involvement could have been fueled by there own concerns for the children's well being? Maybe they did not trust her to take care of their grandchildren??? Its killing me inside that they haven't found his body yet. If they did this he cannot be far from the house. He just can't. There just was not enough time to go far period. They need to check wells on nearby properties where scents were picked up. If he owns a pipe laying company he would have the tools to open a well cap and reseal it. It would have to be someplace the father or mother would be familiar with.Look at Lucas Hernandez and the Hart family. All the CPS calls and signs and no one did a thing. Im losing all faith in outcry and social services. All with known circumstances and all allowed to murder :-(

The Dickson County Sheriffs Office is asking for 30 50 adult volunteers with emergency services backgrounds in Law Enforcement, Fire Fighting, EMT, or Military Services, to serve as team leaders for a large scale search for the body of Joe Clyde Daniels. All Team Leaders must be physically capable of leading a group of community volunteers through mixed terrain.

Those interested in serving as Team Leaders, meeting the mentioned qualifications, please meet at Freed Hardeman Dickson at The Renaissance Center, Room 105, Saturday, May 12th, 2018, at 3:00 p.m. for a briefing, on the upcoming search including professionals and community volunteers planned for Saturday, May 19, 2018.
The Dickson County Sheriffs Office has worked continually to search properties in and around Tennessee City, and to follow up on all leads received over the last few weeks. The support the Dickson County Sheriffs Office has received has been a testimony to the goodness of Dickson County residents, out-of-county volunteers, local and neighboring emergency service partners, churches, businesses, surrounding communities, and states. We hope local volunteers will be willing to help once again on Saturday, May 19th, as we plan the largest search to date for Baby Joe. Additional information will be released regarding community volunteers, without emergency services experience, for the planned May 19th, 2018, search.
