LIVE: Chad Daybell’s House Will Be Demolished

SALEM — Buildings on Chad Daybell’s Fremont County property — including his former home — will be demolished Friday morning.

SJ Healing Crossroads, a local nonprofit, took ownership of the 3.75-acre site at 202 North 1900 East earlier this month. Plans to demolish the property were immediately put into motion.

The demolition is being done by companies that have donated their time and equipment. These include Taylor Excavation, Tupper Excavating, Depatco, Anderson Earthworks, Double JJ Dirt Works, Tupco, POCONO Coast West and Chad Ball Construction.

Future plans for the property have not been disclosed.

Lori and Chad Daybell were found guilty in separate Idaho trials of murdering Lori’s two children — Joshua “JJ” Vallow and Tylee Ryan — and Chad’s first wife, Tammy Daybell. Lori was sentenced to life in prison, while a jury sentenced Chad to death.

The children were found buried behind his house, and Tammy was killed inside.

Chad’s daughter and her family have been living in the house since her father was arrested on murder charges. They moved out last month.

John Prior, Daybell’s attorney, became the owner of the property in 2021 after Daybell’s arrest. He sold the property to a nonprofit.

The house had four bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. It was almost 1,900 square feet.
