Authorities were back on the scene Friday morning to search Joe Clyde Daniels' home and surrounding areas in Dickson, according to Nashville CBS affiliate WTVF.
...
TBI agents posted a guard overnight to secure the property before the search continued Friday morning with more than a dozen investigators.
...
According to reports, investigators deployed cadaver sniffing dogs on the scene and were digging in the area.
Tenn. authorities resume search where 5-year-old Joe Clyde Daniels disappeared

Neighbors told News4 Joe Clyde's grandparents still live at the home and said the search has been going on since about 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

Thursday's search included clearing brush on the land and at least two cadaver dogs.

On Friday, more than a dozen cars are back at the home and the newest addition on the property was a mini excavator. TBI said they are not saying if they’ve made any recoveries.
TBI Agents search continues at home of Joe Clyde Daniels as part of 'ongoing investigation'
 
Crews were on the scene on Garners Creek Road. They were not clearing brush like on Thursday. However, there was a mini excavator digging a location in the back woods.
...
So far TBI hasn't indicated if they’ve recovered anything on the property. They monitored the land overnight and Friday’s efforts include digging in the backwoods with a mini excavator.
...
TBI said they expect to be back on scene working alongside members of the Dickson County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday.

"We anticipate having Agents at that location again tomorrow in furtherance of the search warrant execution. As this is all part of an open and ongoing investigation, we don’t expect make to make any announcements regarding this search warrant execution," TBI said in an email on Friday.
Search continues for Joe Clyde Daniels
 
As of Saturday morning, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation special agents are back out at the home on Garners Creek Road in Dickson County. One big question is what led authorities back to this property, which has been searched before?
...
Joe Daniels tells me bad storms in the area a few weeks back took down some trees in his yard, so he and a cousin went out with chainsaws to remove the debris. It is his belief that someone saw them out moving things around on the property and reported it as suspicious activity.
...
Joe Daniels says he has no idea where to find Joe Clyde’s remains, but he doubts it is on property that has already been thoroughly searched. My understanding is that the search effort could continue until next week.

Thanks for the update! It looks like LE is onto something if they're continuing to search and collect evidence. Posting officers to keep the area secure IMO means they are searching with a purpose. From your link:

At this point, it’s unclear what they’ve found. They appear to have collected items for testing, but what, we don't know.
...
Now agents were off the past couple of days, but a patrol officer was posted to secure the area. Agents have been removing brush and digging holes on the property, located off Garner Creek Road.
...
I'm told agents may well plan to dig up the entire property there and could be on site through the week.
 
I haven't followed this case, but the paternal grandparents seem a bit "off" from just the 2 or 3 reports I saw/read the other day.

Grandmas Video Interview with reporter:

Reporter: what do you think they're looking for? (As LE is digging up their yard)

Grandma: I dont know. :confused:

<Really? No idea what they're looking for?!>

Article released later:
Grandpa would like to thank LE for clearing overgrown areas of his land. :confused:

<Thanks for landscaping my yard for free/on tax payers' dime! Was that really his takeaway from the search?!>


Are the grandparents just "simple-minded" folks or not great at interviews or what's the deal there?
 
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree..I have thought Joe Clyde is close for a long time now. Praying for LE to keep going with this latest search til they are sure he's not there.
Time for this sideshow to end. And for an end to the ridiculous game these "parents" are playing. Prayers for the LE and searchers, what a sad emotionally and physically draining task . MOO
Sorry for rant this child's vanishing is a horrible mess :(

I cannot find anything about this article. It appears to have been removed. I did find this one that says she sent a letter to the grandparents asking for a phone number so she could call them and tell them more about where she THINKS baby Joe's remains could be located!

Letter from Joe Clyde's mother says she has information on location of remains

Niner, the original article has disappeared, but Google still holds a cached copy from May 26, 2020. It reads as follows:

"Three additional charges have been added against the mother of a Dickson County child who has been missing for more than two years.

According to Dickson County’s jail administrator, Krystal Daniels faces charges for criminal responsibility, accessory after the fact and making false reports to officers. Daniels was already charged with aggravated child abuse in connection with the disappearance of her five-year-old son, Joe Clyde Daniels.

Joe Clyde, known to family and friends as “Baby Joe,” was reported missing in April 2018. Days after an AMBER Alert was issued, his father Joseph Ray Daniels was arrested on a charge of murder. Krystal Daniels’ arrest followed shortly after."

"The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation returned to the family’s home on May 21 and said they were looking for clues or evidence in “Baby Joe’s” disappearance. Excavators were brought out on Friday to dig holes and remove trees from the back part of the property.

The search of the family’s property resumed Tuesday.

Krystal Daniels is being held in the Dickson County jail on a $1-million bond. Joseph Daniels remains at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution."

If you mean the brother's statement about seeing "someone" stab Joe Clyde with a knife then I suspect those 5 terabytes of discovery includes information about it.

IIRC Joe Clyde's brother is two years older which would have made him 7 at the time of the disappearance. A lot of factors could have caused him to make his statement - including that he really did see someone stab Joe Clyde - and it's likely the TBI and FBI have conducted forensic interviews with him.

At face value I'm inclined to believe Joe Clyde wasn't stabbed that night since nothing has been released about blood evidence in the house other than Joseph's blood on the shovel. Results of the testing for mitochondrial DNA on the hair found on the shovel hasn't been released.

What caused the brother to make the statement is anyone's guess: was he threatened, manipulated, did he create a "memory" in order to block out the reality of something he witnessed? Have the authorities talked to him again now that he's 9?
Joe Clyde Daniels: 10 things we learned at preliminary hearing

To add:

Krystal's August 2019 letter to reporter Nick Beres made no mention of someone other than her and Joseph being in the house. Her letter appears to be in response to Joseph's July 2019 letter to his parents where he accused her of suffocating Joe Clyde and threatening him with a knife when he tried to intervene yet her only mention of it was saying it was one of the reasons she is divorcing him.

[Joseph's October 2018 letter to his parents accused her of being responsible for Joe Clyde's disappearance. He claimed Krystal had help from someone but said the person picked Joe Clyde up alongside the road. He also said he believed Joe Clyde was alive.]

Sorry for the lengthy response. As you can see :rolleyes: I too have tried to analyze the brother's statement to see if there is merit in it and in the end *none* of claims by anyone who was in that house subsequent to the original confessions by the parents make sense. No pattern arises, no dots connect. This is all my own opinion and subject to change in the future.

I agree with you on these points. I would like to add that it also could have been a case of if the brother witnessed what was said to occur by Joseph, (that Krystal suffocated Joe Clyde and threatened him with a knife) that the brother made the assumption that Krystal stabbed him. This statement is coming from a child that may or may not have witnessed this that night. In his mind if he did see a knife and then no more Joe Clyde with the explanation that he is missing. I could easily see how he could arrive at such an assumption. However, I do find it intriguing that every time there is even a tiny development in the case Krystal seems to draw attention buy firing off letters to her parent and/or Nick Beres (who has stated he will follow this case and bring updates until its conclusion).

Her letter to Nick Beres was also of interest to me due to the fact I felt she seemed to distance herself from Joe Clyde in a sense. To me she seemed to plead for everyone to look for “Baby Joe” or Joe Clyde Daniels and only referencing him as her son (please help my find my son Joe Clyde Daniels) one or two times. Of course, this is all MOO from the best of my recollection at the moment off the top of my sleepy head.
If I have broken any rules with my conjecture or statements please forgive me. I have followed this case in the news and read a good bit in both threads here. Nonetheless, this is the first time I have posted.
