Someone started their comment about Emma "Let It Go" Murray with "Holy funeral potatoes," and it will live in my head rent-free in perpetuity.

For those who didn't understand the last meme, it's an image that explains Emma's transformation into Cult [Step] Mom, Lori Vallow.
EDIT: I'm getting a lot of questions asking if the pic of Emma as a blonde is real. Yes, it's her most recent work pic: bit.ly/emma-work-pic
You can't unsee it. ππππ
H/t Janeese for the side-by-side pic

I created this pic to explain the meme: bit.ly/emma-meme. I'm also getting a lot of questions asking if the pic of Emma as a blonde is real. Yes, it's her most recent work pic: bit.ly/emma-work-pic
The next witness, Ashlyn Rynd, was the friend Tylee called when she was driving from AZ to ID because she didnβt want to be alone. π§‘
EDIT:
Ashlyn may never see this, but in the off chance she does, this is what I'd say to her:
Ashlyn, thank you for your courage in testifying for Tylee today. It touched me to get a little peek behind the curtain of Tylee's interaction with her bff. I've loved you since coming across your name in the Gilbert Police report. Thank you for being there for Tylee, especially on that long car ride to Idaho. I can't imagine how confused, scared, sad, angry, and lonely she must've felt. I'm assuming you were also one of the friends who stopped by to check on her after Charles was shot and her mom had taken her phone away. If so, thank you for that too. You have my deepest admiration and appreciation. π
I'm going live tonight @ 8pm EDT.
Trigger Warning: This topic will be very disturbing.
The flip-flops Lori bought after Charles was shot didn't fit her. Apparently LE didn't question why she was so desperate for new shoes.
I've had 3 videos in queue for the better part of the evening. If they publish in the middle of the night, it's because YouTube is being a πΈ.
On Saturday a verified local did an AMA (ask me anything) on Reddit but then appears to have deleted her account.
One of our marvelous mods, @Felicia-ft3uy (Felicia) grabbed screenshots before they went up in smoke. The local's handle was @Mundane_Insect7856. You can view it here: bit.ly/reddit-recoup.
As always, don't take every claim as fact. For example, I haven't been able to verify Emma lost her first teaching job, as she claimed. But I learned a few details I didn't know before:
β§ Joe Murray's siblings believe Chad's innocent except for one brother, and he doesn't speak to Joe because of it.
β§ Chad asked her husband's best friend for a raccoon trap and exaggerated why he needed it, when he was usually pretty quiet.
β§ Chad told her husband's best friend after Tammy died that he was moving to Hawaii and getting remarried.
β§ The community is shocked and hurting from what came out last week about the whole Daybell family being familiar with rating children dark.
β§ The FBI knocked on her MIL's door.
β§ Chad wasn't known in the neighborhood for being smart. Nice but weird.
β§ Chad stopped attending church leading up to his arrest.
β§ Emma still talks to Lori.
β§ Joe Murray works as a teacher's helper? That's new to me.
Hey gumshoes,
I'm down for the 10 count with my first Dx of Covid, so it may take me a little while to get back to the transcripts.
Transcript update:
β§ I've finished days 5-9. You can access all the links here: linktr.ee/amurderousheart .
β§ Day 10 (today) is still processing. It will probably be lower quality than other transcripts to date because 1) the AI can't distinguish between John Prior and Rocky Wixom, and we had lots of soft, whispery voices. I doubt we'll get much at all from Brenda Dye's testimony, but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.
β§ My hope is to get caught up this weekend, but, if day 5 is indicative of the quality of the transcripts from the rest of the week, it might not be worth processing days 1-3 because the sound quality was very low.
β§ I've already found insights by searching for things like 'rating' (to see all references to the ratings email), '$' to see references to financial details, 'Venmo' for obvious reasons, etc.
β§ If you've been an active member of the community and would like to help edit the Google Doc, it would be great to get help with cleaning up these transcriptions. You can leave an email in a comment or email me at amurderousheart@gmail.com.
