THE CHILDREN OF ACCUSED CHILD MURDERER CHAD DAYBELL DEFEND THEIR FATHER IN AN ENCORE OF "48 HOURS: THE SECRETS OF CHAD DAYBELL'S BACKYARD"

Chad Daybell and his wife, Lori Vallow Daybell, have been charged with murdering her children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, then burying them on Daybell's property just outside of Rexburg, Idaho. In their first television interview together, Chad Daybell's children defend their dad in an encore of 48 HOURS: "The Secrets of Chad Daybell's Backyard," to be broadcast July 23 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streamed on Paramount +.

The disappearance of JJ and Tylee gripped the nation. First, police said the children disappeared in September 2019, shortly after the family moved to Rexburg, Idaho, from Arizona. Investigators say Tylee was last seen in Yellowstone National Park with her family on Sept. 8, 2019. Investigators say JJ vanished on Sept. 23, 2019. Throughout, Chad and Lori Vallow Daybell refused to talk with investigators or say where the children were. Then, in June 2020, the bodies of JJ and Tylee were found in shallow graves on Chad Daybell's property. The Daybells have pleaded not guilty to the murder charges.
