Doomsday prophet Chad Daybell's murder house where children's bodies were found buried in the backyard lists for $350k
The home of doomsday prophet Chad Daybell where the remains of two children he murdered were found has been put on the market.
Daybell, 55, was given the death sentence earlier this month for the murders of his first wife Tammy Daybell and his co-conspirator Lori Vallow's two children.
The remains of Joshua 'JJ' Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 16, were found on the property in Rexburg, Idaho, in June 2020 which has now hit the market for $350,000.
The four-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom stretches to 1,644 square feet of living space and sits on four acres of land.
Potential buyers will need to look past the grizzly history of the ranch-style home which was built in 1960 and is now owned by Daybell's attorney John Prior.

Images of the property show a white paint scheme in the living room and kitchen, which has a bench in the middle of it.
What appears to be the bedroom of a young boy and girl are also seen in photographs of the home. It is unclear if these are the bedroom's of the children.
The property listing, first reported by Realtor.com, includes the caveat: 'There is a very tragic situation with this home, please have your realtor investigate for you.'
Police said that they believed the bodies of the two children were buried by Daybell sometime between September of 2019 and June of 2020.
Aerial footage captured at the time shows investigators digging up soil around what appeared to be a well in the back yard.
The children both disappeared within days of one another in September of 2019 before their remains were discovered in the backyard of the property.
Seventeen days after JJ was last seen alive, Tammy Daybell then died suddenly in her sleep.

Though her death was believed to be due to natural causes, her corpse was exhumed and after an autopsy, it was determined that she was suffocated to death.
During his trial, Daybell was accused of crafting an alternate reality so that he could fulfill 'his desire for sex, money and power'.
Daybell, who was a self-published author and wrote doomsday-focused fiction based on Mormon readings, had been in a relationship with Lori Vallow.
The couple married in November 2019, just a few weeks after Tammy was killed and not long after he children disappeared.
The two were indicted in 2021 on charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and grand theft by deception in the kid's deaths.
Last year, Vallow was convicted and handed a string of multiple life sentences behind bars without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutors said that the couple had justified the killings by creating a detailed and apocalyptic belief system.
The killings had been part of an elaborate scheme to eliminate any obstacles to their relationship and obtain money from survivor benefits and life insurance.

Vallow claimed that she had been in communication with her dead children and blamed their deaths on 'accidents and suicide'.
She also told the sentencing court that she had been friends with Tammy who is also 'extremely busy in heaven' and said all three regularly visit her.
Vallow said: 'Jesus knows me and Jesus understands me. I mourn with all of you who mourn my children and Tammy'.
She claimed: 'Jesus Christ knows the truth of what happened here. Jesus Christ knows no one was murdered in this case.
'Accidental deaths happen, suicides happen, fatal side effects of medications happen.
'I have access to heaven and the spirit world. I have had many communications from people now living in heaven, including my children, my sisters, my aunts and my uncle and my grandparents.
'I've had many communications with Jesus Christ and our heavenly parents, and many angelic visitors.

Vallow claimed that she had been in communication with her dead children and blamed their deaths on 'accidents and suicide'
'Because of these communications I know for a fact that my children are happy and busy in the spirit world. I know my friend Tammy Daybell is also very happy and extremely busy.'
Defense attorney Jim Archibald argued during the trial there was no evidence tying Vallow to the killings.
Archibald said she was a loving, protective mother whose life took a sharp turn when she met Daybell and fell for his 'weird' apocalyptic religious claims.
Daybell told her they had been married in several previous lives and she was a 'sexual goddess' who was supposed to help him save the world by gathering 144,000 followers so Jesus could return, Archibald said.
Vallow's former friend Melanie Gibb testified that Vallow believed people in her life had been taken over by evil spirits and turned into 'zombies,' including JJ and Tylee.
The family and the case was featured on the popular Netflix TV documentary, 'Sins of our Mother.'
Netflix's series, which features her surviving child Colby Ryan, 26, reveals the details behind the killings, and Lori's beliefs that convinced her there was a 'dark spirit' inside her daughter, and the only way to 'free the spirit is to kill the body.'
