VALLOW DAYBELL CASE

Daybell home purchased by nonprofit with plans to demolish it, create healing space

Sep 3, 2024, 6:19 AM

ST. ANTHONY, Idaho — The Idaho home once owned by Chad Daybell is under new ownership.

A couple in Idaho bought the home and started a nonprofit — SJ Healing Crossroads.

It’s a property at the center of the 2019 deaths of Tammy Daybell, 49, Tylee Ryan, 16, and JJ Vallow, 7.

The home, located in Fremont County, sits on 3.75 acres. Inside Tammy Daybell was killed in October 2019 and almost a year later, in June 2020, the children’s bodies were found buried in the backyard.

Tammy’s husband, Chad Daybell and his second wife, Lori Vallow Daybell have been convicted in their murders. A jury sentenced Chad Daybell to death in June and Vallow Daybell was handed a life sentence last year. Lori is currently being held in Arizona, awaiting a second trial for the death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow.

Daybell home put up for sale

In June, Chad’s attorney, John Prior, who gained ownership of the property, put it up for sale for $350,000.

That’s when a local couple, who want to remain anonymous for now, stepped in. They purchased the home and started a nonprofit —  SJ Healing Crossroads. The couple said they rushed to purchase the home because they were concerned it would become an Airbnb to be exploited as a macabre tourist attraction.
