Interview with Destin Thayne (Man mentioned by Chad Daybell in Data Dump

The data dump this week brought a lot of new names we've never heard before. One of those names was Destin Thayne. He was listed on a document written by Chad Daybell, and given a past probation. Lauren Matthias got a hold of Destin to learn how he was involved and how he knew Chad Daybell.

I think his intelligence minimally gets him by his own personal, goals, while lacking in admirable accomplishment.

Hidden True Crime

We think Destin's story is interesting for many reason. John and I think it shows that Chad was actively recruiting. We see a pattern of dividing spouses. Destin also confirms the pendulum story. Chad admits to finding the pendulum in a church building.

Do we know who “the friend” was that Chad brought with him? I can't help but wonder how many people and who they are that are still practicing his beliefs.

Hey Lauren did you find out the name of Chads friend who came too? Great interview Thanks for clearing that up and it definitely gives more insight into his recruitment method

Tad Auty

I understand- as frustrating it is is - do you know if he’s told LE ?

Katie Marlowe

Destin sounds like a truly thoughtful and good person. Thank you for sharing his experience with us. It does, in fact, sound like Chad was actively recruiting, albeit badly.

If I found a necklace in a church building, ESPECIALLY a church of which I was a member, I would have done what was necessary to find the rightful owner.

Hidden True Crime

That’s an important question. LE is aware. While the friend was more involved in Chad’s teachings than Destin ever was, Destin still does not believe they were involved in any deaths, and Destin doesn’t want to feel responsible for publicly connecting this person to the murders.

This guy seemed sincere. It’s so interesting to hear him describe it was a network marketing recruiting style. This aligns with Lori feeling out April and Melani trying to tell Jes. I’m sure if you seem interested they stay on ya.

Good lesson: don’t assume. Sounds like Destin saw clearly that he was talking to “Chad the neighbor” opposed to “James the Just”. 🙄

RobynB

Another interesting thing I learned; recruitment tool = false flattery/feeding the ego.

This person may not have been actively involved with the murders, but was obvs actively involved in recruiting. Do we know the timeframe of when this visit happened in relation to Tammy’s death etc, etc?

Tad Auty

Poor dude - sounds like he’s had way too many neighbours into MLM approach him- but I guess it saved him from getting tied up with this mob

I’m a bit of a weirdo, but I learned the pendulum method for finding out past lives at least a decade ago. The person who showed me was shown decades before. I think it’s originally from a past lives book. Interesting that Chad steals a necklace from church lost & found and steals a woo-woo pendulum party trick.

Melinda Ngawaka

He’s such a lovely man… so compassionate and sensible! Wow so Chad went around recruiting!

Robin M Putnam

By not being interested in Chads spiel, Destin saved his wife and him years of heartache and who knows what else.

Anissa Teree

I totally agree, using people to reach out to their personal friends or spheres of influence …repulsing for sure

Sue Komernicky

What a nice gentleman! His message is very important!!

Lynette Butler

Wow, What an important interview. You’re really showing how powerful it is to have people trust you to honor them and protect their dignity. What a tribute to your integrity.

Nora Ann

Did he come over by himself or did he bring someone with him? And he let his wife hear what he had to say? I wonder if Destin was used to having people talking to him about stuff like this?

Nora Ann

Just notice Chad had Julie Rowes husband as Lot in a past life. Found that interesting.
