Violent details have been released in the murder of 5-year-old Joe Clyde Daniels.

Young Joe Clyde died at his residence along Garners Creek Road. Daniels told authorities he put the kindergartner's body in the truck of his car and "disposed" of his son's body in a remote, rural area. As of Monday morning, Joe Clyde's body still hasn't been found after authorities searched through the weekend.

Daniels called 911 to report his son missing.

Krystal Daniels trial delayed again for investigation, quarantine​

The Krystal Daniels trial has been pushed back another month so the recent death of a witness can be investigated and so the district attorney can quarantine.

During online meetings Tuesday, Dickson County Circuit Court Judge David Wolfe said the trial needed to be delayed – but he didn’t extend the start date much longer.

“I don’t want to create an issue for Mrs. Daniels and her defense. Neither do I want to extraordinarily delay this trial,” Wolfe said.

In recent weeks, a Humphreys County man who testified in the Joseph Daniels trial was found dead. The witness, Daniel McCormick, said he saw someone who looked like “a teenager” wearing a T-shirt with a skeleton on it the night of Joe Clyde Daniels disappearance near the Daniels’ residence.

Krystal Daniels’ attorney, Mike Flanagan, said he was “concerned” about the investigation and wanted to hear findings.

District Attorney Ray Crouch said during the Zoom meeting that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation probe into the death was nearly complete and the autopsy would be finished by March.

Crouch also said he had recently tested positive for COVID-19 and was in the quarantine stage with Krystal Daniels’ trial originally scheduled to start next week.

Wolfe set her trial date for March 16.

Lawmakers propose 'Joe Clyde Daniels Act:' harsher punishments for those who hide bodies

While his father, Joseph Daniels, has been convicted of his son's murder, the little boy's body has never been found.

Lawmakers propose 'Joe Clyde Daniels Act:' harsher punishments for those who hide bodies​

April will mark four years since Joe Clyde Daniels went missing from his Dickson County home.

While his father, Joseph Daniels, has been convicted of his son's murder, the little boy's body has never been found.

Now, lawmakers from Dickson County are working to make sure that works against Joseph Daniels, if he ever becomes eligible for parole.

"We all felt like we had a collective obligation to look for this child, to mourn for this child and then to seek justice," said Rep. Michael Curcio, R-Dickson.


Under Tennessee law, Joseph Daniels would make him eligible for parole after serving 51 years behind bars. But Curcio hopes that never happens.

"If there is a parole eligibility, it needs to be reserved for people who can someday be redeemed with a lot of work. I don’t think that’s what’s happening in this trial. And especially when you see someone who intentionally obstructs justice by hiding human remains or not revealing where human remains are," said Curcio.

So that's what the proposed Joe Clyde Daniels Act would do. If the applicant avoids telling law enforcement where a body can be found, that can be a justification for the Tennessee Board of Parole to deny release.

"You take that extra step of not allowing law enforcement to find those remains, then that’s going to become a parole consideration," he said.

While the bill is named in honor of Joe Clyde, lawmakers hope it will have an impact all across Tennessee.

"This is something we hope will send a message across the state," said Curcio.

All in favor say aye! I say aye! There are a few cases on here right now where they have the perp, they have blood, they have evidence they took the child maybe, but they won't tell where the child is... After arrest even...

Breasia was one like that but they have found her. There is another one that I think it was a female baby, his own, and he is charged but won't give up the baby's whereabouts. The name escapes me. And I don't think it is the only one.

Krystal Daniels pleads no contest before trial starts in son Joe Clyde disappearance

As jury selection was underway for her trial, Krystal Daniels entered a no-contest plea Wednesday to the four charges filed against her by the state.

Krystal Daniels pleads no contest before trial starts in son Joe Clyde disappearance
As jury selection was underway for her trial, Krystal Daniels entered a no-contest plea Wednesday to the four charges filed against her by the state.

Daniels, who will now serve 15 years in jail, faced the charges in connection to the 2018 disappearance of her 5-year-old son, Joe Clyde. Joseph Daniels – Krystal’s husband and the father of “Baby Joe” – was found guilty of murdering Joe Clyde last year and sentenced to life in prison.

The jury selection process had started in Stewart County when Krystal Daniels, with her attorneys on both sides, entered her plea before Dickson County Circuit Court Judge David Wolfe.

The no-contest plea means Krystal Daniels does not affirm her guilt though the judge finds her guilty on all counts.

Wolfe found her guilty on the following charges: Aggravated child abuse carrying a 15-year sentence; conspiracy to commit aggravated child abuse or neglect with a 12-year sentence; filing a false report that includes a four-year sentence; and tampering with evidence or fabricating evidence, a six-year sentence.

'Joe Clyde Daniels Act' would bring harsher punishments for hiding a body

It’s been nearly four years since Joe Clyde Daniels went missing from his Dickson County home.

'Joe Clyde Daniels Act' would bring harsher punishments for hiding a body​

It’s been nearly four years since Joe Clyde Daniels went missing from his Dickson County home.

Many people are still holding onto hope that his remains will be found.

State Rep. Michael Curcio of Dickson County wants to make sure Joe Clyde's father is never eligible for parole unless he tells investigators the location of his son's body.

Curcio is sponsoring the "Joe Clyde Daniels Act," which passed through a committee hearing on Wednesday.



Last summer, a jury found Joseph Daniels guilty of felony murder and second-degree murder in the death of his son, Joe Clyde. Daniels was sentenced to life in prison with eligibility for parole after 51 years.

Curcio said parole needs to be reserved for people who can someday be redeemed, with a lot of work. He doesn’t think that’s what’s happened in this case.

If enacted, the "Joe Clyde Daniels Act" says parole boards will take into consideration whether or not an inmate refused to reveal the location of remains.

"We believe this passes constitutional muster because parole is a privilege and not a right," said Curcio.

"It is something the parole board considers; it's not something that is guaranteed. So, we believe this is something we can do, as it’s unfortunate that young man's father refuses even to this day to give up the location of the body," Curcio said.

Just considers it? It's a great law but it would be great if it was NEVER do they get parole if they don't give up the location. And I think in most murder cases there should never be consideration for any parole anyhow.

I'm not dissing it though, it is a great step forward and more than they did have or most have.

They shouldn't get a chance. Make them live harsher in prison until they give up the information. Isolation for example. Most would be willing to give it up to get out of there.

Yep. There should be an added penalty for not giving up the location once they are found guilty at least for sure. If it is already LWOP then send them to a harsher prison, as you say give them solitary, etc. Heck these days tell them they cannot have a TV in their cell... Not saying all do but some do... Take away pizza night. No canteen money allowed put in your account.

Where is Baby Joe? 4 years later members of search team weigh in

It’s a case that rocked Dickson County and still has many in the community asking, Where is Baby Joe? The 5-year-old went missing 4 years ago April 4.

Where is Baby Joe? 4 years later members of search team weigh in​

It’s a case that rocked Dickson County and still has many in the community asking, Where is Baby Joe? The 5-year-old went missing 4 years ago on April 4th.

Since then, Joe Clyde Daniel’s father, Joseph Daniels, was found guilty of felony murder, among other charges, relating to his son’s death and was sentenced to 51 years behind bars. Baby Joe’s mother, Krystal, entered a no contest plea for her role and received a 15-year sentence.

Yet, questions remain about the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the little boy whose smile captured the community.

“A lot of areas have been covered, and yet here we still are, four years later, still looking for that piece of the puzzle that we so desperately need and want,” said David Rader the Director of EquuSearch Midwest.

To this day he still thinks about where the child could be. “I think he’s a little bit further than what we’re giving credit for,” Rader said. “I’m not going to get into specifics, but I think, I personally think he’s in the next county over.”


“I hope that Joseph and Krystal see this,” Sisco said, “And I hope in their heart, they can say, you know what? We’ve got our punishment. We’re here. We’re not going anywhere. Why don’t we just go ahead and, and put the information out there for law enforcement, EquuSearch, or any other search team or anybody to be able to find this baby and get closure?”

The Dickson County Sheriff’s Department is also holding out hope in finding Baby Joe.

Sheriff Tim Eads released this statement:

Today marks 4 years that Joe Clyde Daniels has been missing. Our department, along with the people in this county, will never forget “Baby Joe” and we still hope to one day bring him home, but until that day we will continue following any leads in hopes of bringing some closure to this tragedy.”

Authorities believe Joe Clyde Daniels' body is most likely in landfill, although case remains open

Will Joe Clyde Daniels' body ever be found? With both of his parents now behind bars — that is the one question yet to be answered.

Authorities believe Joe Clyde Daniels' body is most likely in landfill, although case remains open​

Will Joe Clyde Daniels' body ever be found?

With both of his parents now behind bars — that is the one question yet to be answered.

Authorities do believe there is one most likely location and it may be the reason why the little boy's remains are never found.


There are many theories, but those close to the case say the most likely location is a landfill.

The father went to a Dickson truck stop the night Joe Clyde disappeared. He could have put the small body in a dumpster, which was emptied before Joe Clyde was even reported missing.

To this day, it's not clear exactly which landfill the trash truck went to, and even with cadaver dogs, searching acres of debris for a small child's remains is almost an impossible task.

The sad reality is Joe Clyde's body may never be found.

The landfill may be the most likely possibility, but it's not the only one.

Authorities say the case will never completely close and they'll continue to track tips in hopes of someday finding Joe Clyde's remains.

Meanwhile, both Krystal and Joseph Daniels are asking for protective custody in state prison — worried about their safety because of their connection to the high-profile case involving their son.

Joseph Daniels asks for new trial after being convicted of son's murder

NewsChannel 5 obtained exclusive details on how and why Joseph Daniels and his attorney will argue the conviction should be thrown out.

Joseph Daniels asks for new trial after being convicted of son's murder​

New developments in the Joe Clyde Daniel's case.

NewsChannel 5 obtained exclusive details on how and why he and his attorney will argue the conviction should be thrown out.

It was 12 months ago that justice came for Joe Clyde Daniels when a jury delivered a verdict against his father.

"As to the charge of first degree murder, in the perpetration of a felony crime, how does the jury find," asked the judge.

Seven women and five men convicted Joseph Daniels.

"Guilty sir."

He is now serving 51 years in prison and will likely die behind bars.

But now, Daniels is fighting to have the conviction vacated arguing there was insufficient evidence.

It's a motion that will likely end up at the State Court of Appeals.

But first Daniels will ask the judge in Dickson County for a new trial.

"We had a lot of reversible errors in the trial. So he advised he wants to pursue an appeal," said defense attorney Jake Lockert.

So, what reversible errors?

First, the defense says the judge never should have allowed the jury to hear Daniel's confession.

"Why did I kill my son? Why did I kill my son," said Daniels in a video played for the jury during trial.

The defense will argue the confession was coerced, that Daniels had recanted and there was no evidence to support it.

Which leads to the second issue: Prosecutors had no blood, DNA or any physical evidence to even prove Joe Clyde was dead after he disappeared from his Dickson home in 2018.

The prosecution did, however, call the boy's older brother who testified he witnessed Joseph beat his brother and carry him away.

"The defendant started walking down the driveway? Yes. What had he done with Joe Clyde? He had him in his arms," testified the brother at trial.

In the motion for new trial, the defense is expected to call and again question the brother and other witnesses.

"Some of the witnesses may testify to something differently and that's what the defense is hoping," said NewsChannel 5 legal analyst Nick Leonardo.

The prosecution will argue that Joseph was rightfully convicted and it's unlikely the judge will grant the new trial.

In which case, the defense argument will be moved to the Court of Appeals.

I realize there is a reason for appeals but feel they have gone too far. He confessed. Too bad, I guess he shouldn't have. A jury found him guilty, it should stand. The second issue no DNA, etc., such is not needed to charge or convict is it? Hardly the only case like that and it comes to whether the jury feels there is enough and they did. Case closed imo.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

I believe he probably is guilty, but the prosecutions case was just awful. I was honestly surprised when he was convicted, based on the case presented by the prosecution only. They really had nothing. Most cases I agree that the appeals are out of hand and no reason for it. But this case... not that I think he needs to be a free man, but I kind of agree with the defense that there is a huge lack of evidence here.

I have to admit I didn't follow it and if that is the case, then maybe it is one case appeals are meant for. I react though to the fact he did confess but if they had no evidence maybe they did browbeat it out of him as they needed something to prosecute with...

Judge denies Joseph Daniels’ request for new trial

More than a year after being convicted of killing his five-year-old child, Joseph Daniels has requested a new trial.

Judge denies Joseph Daniels’ request for new trial​

More than a year after being convicted of killing his five-year-old child, Joseph Daniels has requested a new trial.

Daniels’ attorney filed a second amended motion earlier this month requesting a new trial based on several motions including, the evidence was not sufficient enough for finding him guilty, and the court was wrong to allow certain testimony and evidence.

Tuesday afternoon, 23rd Judicial District Judge David Wolfe denied that request, affirming the jury verdict.
