- The new owners of his Idaho home plan to transform it into a healing space and have committed to consulting with victims' families.
- There is concern from the victims' families about the potential for the property to become a site of morbid interest.
Chad Daybell, a convicted murderer, was sentenced to death in June for the killings of his wife, Tammy Daybell, and Lori Vallow's children, Tylee Ryan and Joshua 'JJ' Vallow. Following his conviction, his Idaho home was sold, sparking various theories about its future use. The new owners, who purchased the property to prevent it from becoming a 'murder Airbnb,' expressed their commitment to transforming the site into a place of healing and community support for those affected by trauma and loss. The new owners plan to remove the house and outbuildings by early October, with the intention of consulting with the victims' families before finalizing their plans. They aim to create a positive environment that respects the victims and the community, acknowledging the tragic history associated with the property. Despite their intentions, Kay Woodcock, JJ's grandmother, criticized the new owners for not seeking input from the victims' families before announcing their plans. The property, where Tammy was murdered in 2019 and the children's bodies were discovered in 2020, was listed for sale at $350,000. The real estate listing highlighted the tragic events that occurred there, urging potential buyers to conduct thorough investigations. The new owners are aware of the public's fascination with true crime and hope to redirect that interest towards a more constructive purpose. As they move forward, the new owners are focused on ensuring that their plans align with the wishes of the victims' families and the local community, hoping to foster healing rather than glorifying the past tragedies.
