REXBURG, Idaho — New police recordings explain what happened in the weeks following the death of Tammy Daybell. In the recording, a dispatcher reveals that the Daybell family refused an autopsy for Tammy when she first died.
Idaho authorities have linked Daybell’s death with the case of the two missing children from Idaho, 7-year old Joshua JJ Vallow and 17-year old Tylee Ryan.
They disappeared in September from Rexburg, just a few weeks before Tammy suddenly died in her Salem, Idaho home.
A dispatch call released to Fox 13 from the Fremont County Attorney’s Office details a 17 minute phone conversation between a detective from Gilbert, Arizona and a dispatcher with Fremont County. There is no date or time stamped on the call.
The detective calls dispatch to request information for the death of Tamara Daybell.
“Oh, yeah,” the dispatcher says, with a tone of recognition upon hearing Daybell’s name. “I was the one that actually took that call.”
He tells the dispatcher he’s asking for the police report.
“So why is someone from Arizona wanting to know?” the dispatcher asks. “That’s crazy.”
“Yeah, isn’t it funny how everything ties together?,” the detective answers. “We just have some cases down here, that… that got our attention with Miss Daybell.”
The cases the detective is talking about could include the early October shooting
