Daybell’s brother Matt Daybell released a statement to East Idaho News in January 2020 asking his brother to tell authorities where his stepchildren were.

Chad Daybell and His Brothers as Grave Diggers
The Deseret News profiled Daybell and his siblings in August 1992, commending them for their entrepreneurial skills. Evidently digging graves to earn money for college was a proud Daybell family tradition. At the time, Daybell was 24 years old and spoke about being a gravedigger before he headed to Brigham Young University. “I would consider digging graves my first real job,” he said. “I liked the exercise and flexible hours. It lets your body work while your mind rests from school.”
