NEW DAYBELL TIMELINE (complete with texts in chronological order)
🕑 Added 2022-07-26 19:34:55 +0000 UTCCarrie Knapp is an amazing hidden gem who put together an excellent timeline. I asked if we could share it here, and we are so grateful she said yes! It is attached below in pdf form.
A bit about Carrie and her research:
"I joined Patreon so I could read the Chandler documents. Thank you so much for sharing those.
I am a paralegal and my job all day every day is to sort through document dumps and make sense of them. The best way I know to do this is to create a timeline. So I did that for this case starting with the date Lori and Chad met through the charges.
I'm attaching it here because I think it might be helpful as a reference for when we are discussing this case on YouTube. I know a lot of times when something comes up, I find myself trying to put into perspective things like when was the first mention of Hiplos or how soon before Tammy's death were wedding rings purchased or when did they seal themselves in the temple, etc.
I also want to say that prior to becoming a paralegal, I was a newspaper reporter covering courts and crime. And timelines were helpful in that respect because when the information is presented in chronological order, it tells a story. I feel like there are many stories that come out of this.
You asked on a YouTube live recently what rabbit holes we were going down. After reviewing all of this material, my rabbit hole is law enforcement. I feel like both the Gilbert and Chandler police really let Charles down.. I'll just say I hope those police agencies are doing some sort of internal review so this never happens again. I know we talk about that being the goal and the reason we are so invested in this case. - Carrie"
Let us know what catches your eye in her timeline. A fresh view is always so helpful, and It's been a resource we have been using. Thank you Carrie!

I just found Tammy's old Facebook page. It was eye opening to compare some of her posts with this time line. There's a couple happy go lucky photos of her and Chad on vacation together. All smiles and love. I compared the dates and at the same time as those photos he was conspiring with Lori to murder Charles. It's so sad :( I felt like I was seeing it all from Tammy's perspective

Fantastic job, Carrie! And thank you, Julie! The truth is in the details and you guys do an amazing job finding and deciphering them.

Thank you Carrie and also Julie! It is so helpful to have this written in chronological order! It is interesting the gaps of time as to when Alex leaves Lori’s condo: 10:44 p.m. – Alex is in Lori’s apartment until 11:15 p.m. o 11:44 p.m. – Alex is back in his apartment • September 9, 2019 • Alex is in Lori’s townhouse o 12 a.m. – Alex leaves his house and goes back to Lori’s o 12:44 a.m. – Alex is back inside his townhouse o 2:42 a.m. – Alex is in Lori’s townhouse until 3:37 a.m. o 4:37 a.m. – Alex is back inside his townhouse He lived in the same complex, not far from each other! So, I wonder where he was for an hour.

Wow, Carrie, this is impressive!

Thank you so much for this timeline! This is just so bizarre - the day after he meets-cute BadLori: Chad also searches Arizona obituaries

You don't have to tell me! If my head weren't up my keister I'd have no idea where it was!
Carrie Knapp
This is amazing!

Oops! Yes. Thank you. It’s hard keeping everyone straight.

WOW, lots of interesting details. July 2, 2019. Chad texts Adam and tells him that Lori claims she and Tammy are friends – “I think Tammy and her husband are some of the ringleaders. Just look at the emails he writes. They are all a bunch of crazies and have made a mockery of our gospel” Did you mean Charles texts Adam?

This is fantastic!! I've done some digging into what I call "the missing months" to try to nail down when Lori left for Hawaii. Here are some data points: It's been said in a couple of reliable places that Lori at first stayed with Alex, in early February. One source: “Upon learning she was living with her brother in San Tan Valley, Ariz., Charles ‘attempted service at the brother’s house but was unsuccessful,” despite the fact that twice the server noticed both Lori and her brother’s cars were in the driveway.” (Post Register, 1/14/20) 2/5/19: Per texts, Chad has told Zulema that her friend (boyfriend possibly) Jerry is blocking her gifts. Then this text exchange between Z and Lori: Lori to Z — 11:47 AM (Phone 2) That’s good but sad too I know! We will really have to stick together since we can’t have friends anymore Z to Lori — 12:18 PM (Phone 2) Right? I feel that my inner circle is getting smaller but I’m okay with that too 2/6/19: Lori visited Colby, Kelsee, and new baby Ryley in the hospital. (Interview with Colby) Lori called JJ’s school to ask if he’d been in class. (Post Register, 1/14/20) 2/7/19: Z to Lori — 8:01 AM (Phone 2) Thank you! I have to write another letter explaining my prior divorces. I just got to the temple. I’ll be here until about 10. I hope I can see you if you can come 2/8/19: Z to Lori — 8:51 AM (Phone 2) I just got to temple. I’ll be here until 10 AM. If you are able to come, look for me in the celestial room 2/11/19: Charles visits LIFE Academy to inform them of the Order of protection. Allegedly told school officials that he was taking JJ out of school and going out of state to keep him safe. (WTAF timeline) 2/16/19: PaP Event in Boise, ID / Chad is a speaker. Charles learns Lori planned to attend. “Charles learned Lori was going to Boise with a friend, he ‘made attempts to serve (her) at the airport, a hotel, and a public event.’ All attempts were unsuccessful, and Charles came to believe that Lori had changed her travel plans at the last minute.” (Post Register, 1/14/20) 2/20/19: Lori references flying "over to Oahu" in a text to Zulema. 2/22/19: Chad texts Zulema at 12:42 Mountain Time: “Lori came back this morning and is driving her son Colby to Reno through Las Vegas. She asked if you could clear a path for her today. She’s in northern Arizona right now.” 3/1 to 3/6/19: Charles requests dismissal of divorce / dismissal is granted. (Post Register, 1/14/20) 3/9/19: Alex accuses Charles of “taking JJ and trying to put Lori in jail.” (Charles’ email to Lori) 3/10/19: Charles emails Lori after 38 days of not hearing from her. He gives her a deadline of 3/11/19 to agree to: –Charles vacating the house by March 15th –Lori keeping the house starting March 16th –Charles getting the locks changed for Lori, and paying all bills –Both of them working out a schedule for JJ Late March 2019: Around this time, Charles moves to Texas with JJ. 4/2/19: Charles emails his lawyer, Taylor Larson: “I’m now in Houston in our new home. I say our because Lori is coming after she finishes packing in AZ.” 4/17-4/18/19: Charles texts Lori with positive messages: “You look marvelous,” and making plans to meet at the temple to do sealings. 5/31 to 6/1/19: PaP Event - Sandy, Utah, at Salt Lake Community College “David Warwick and Shawn Littlebear will be filling in for Chad Daybell, who had a Family Emergency.” 6/9/19: Casting Meeting at Zulema’s. Per interview with Christina A. - 3rd meeting for her. 1st time she’d met Alex. Alex said he wanted to kill Charles. Lori said she had crushed up 10 pills and put them in Charles’ “protein powder” / “shake stuff” 6/20/19: Lori (& Charles) move into 5531 S Four Peaks Pl Chandler, AZ (interview w/ Joe Pongratz) 6/29-6/30/19: Charles confronts Lori via text. He emails Tammy. He emails Chad.
