Dad beat autistic son Joe Clyde Daniels to death, hid his body in remote area: affidavit

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

According to an affidavit, Joe's father, Joseph Ray Daniels, confessed to police that he beat his non-verbal, autistic son to death at their Dickson home on April 4.

Daniels told police that he "struck his son...repeatedly in the body, upper torso, head, and face with closed-fist until his son was deceased," the affidavit says.

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.

I have not been able to watch this much but have caught a few minutes here and there. And while I know the case somewhat, I am no fresh on it. Was he drinking or something, why is he alleging black outs?

Per the defendants own words when interviewed by TBI Agent Joey Boyd, he stated that when gets mad he 'blacks out & can't remember'.

The portion of the interview that was published as evidence with the defendant was 2 1/2 hours long. For most of it, IMO, everything appeared as though the defendant wasn't guilty. However, I gave pause when he stated that after Joe Clyde peed on the floor & Alex told on him Joe Clyde laughed which angered the defendant. He then stated he spanked him & Joe Clyde took off out of the house & the defendnt caught him by the road & came back into the house. He was angry and beat him with a closed fist nd threw him on the coffee table.

After he returned to the home the defendant hid the lock for the door in the childrens toy box & moved the key.

I'm more confused than ever after hearing this part because no attorney addresses how Joe Clyde got out of the house after he peed on the floor. There's really pieces that aren't coming together. Hopefully, the circumstantial evidence becomes more understood before the state rests.

The court will continue until approximately 7pm (Central) this evening. to be continued

I haven't had much time but did see this part of the peeing on the floor, him running out of the house, etc. and the lock. I tuned in for a bit awhile ago. I think he is guilty. I realize that the evidence or if there ends up to be what jurors may feel enough evidence/or ia lack of evidence may be different but he admits to beating the boy on that particular night and to being angry. To me the logical conclusion is one conclusion. Could the boy have run off and someone snatched him? Of course it is a very slim possibility but i don't consider that reasonable doubt or likely.

And he blacks out when angry, man how many times have I/we heard that. To me it is so convenient, it lets the person off the hook of anything they did when that angry whether beat a child, a wife, murder someone, steal something, etc. Jmo.
 
the "blacks out when angry" excuse is what makes me think he did something to him. He's using it for an excuse for his bad behavior and not taking responsibility for it. I'm just not sure how involved the mom is.

Me too, it is a big part. I think they do it for several reasons, an excuse, plus it lets them answer but not lie exactly/sort of by stating no facts for the WORST part of the crime, and then they have a defense left open because they never "remembered" that part, etc. I think often they admit to only what they know LE or someone else already knows, like maybe the peeing or the beating because that could catch them in a lie.
 
The defendant has been hospitalized for extreme mental health issues. At the time of the TBI interview he was taking lithium, trazadone & risperdal. If you aren't familiar with these then it is my suggestion you take a moment to understand why these are important in this case. The defendant had not been sleeping when being interviewed and was in a 'heightened' frame of mind. As his meds start to decrease in his system the interview does take a different turn. He gets very emotional and agreeable to whats being stated in the interrogation however his speech pattern is very noticably different.

Now, I'm not giving him a pass, just stating my opinion after watching the proceedings today. He stated to TBI that Joe Clyde took off out of the house before he caught him by the road. If we are to believe that the door was secured by a lock then how was Joe Clyde able to get out? There has been no testimony, thus far, cooborating any evidence of Joe Clyde ever being in the trunk of the defendants red Impala. There is a lot of reasonable doubt thus far & we can agree to disagree on guilt however where's the evidence that supports this charge? Please help me understand why you feel he's guilty so I can see this from a different perspective.

I don't know enough about his mental state or drugs nor his history. I probably did not word it right but I am saying, you are right, the evidence may not be there and perhaps there is no proof and possibly maybe he did not even do it. I am just saying that a parent that beats a child and admits to it the very night this all went down is likely responsible. And then has black outs on that night. No parent that admits to beating a child is apt to be telling the full extent of how badly they treat or harm that child imo. In no way am I saying I know this as fact, it is simply my "leaning". Have they proved it? I don't know. I haven't seen enough of the case to say that.
 
Court is in recess until tomorrow morning @ 0800. TBI Agent Joey Boyd has been excused. The State has 2 more witnesses that will be providing testimony tomorrow then the defense expects 1-2 days for presentation of witnesses.

I, like many of you, take childrens cases to heart. Only one other child murder case did I feel so strongly about the defendants guilt was Bella Bond. The defendant's 'confession' in this case is questionable because nothing he stated had/has been proven factual. After more than 3 year years to prepare certainly the jury needs something to fill in that reasonable doubt so hopefully tomorrow we'll hear from the crime scene analysists, etc.

I do think he is BUT not to the legal criteria so i would not be able to vote guilty if on a jury at this point. I'm not sure what degree of guilty at all. I would need much, much more proof
 
I stand corrected, there are several more State witnesses scheduled to testify this afternoon. ;)

 
We are adjourned for the day. To recap, approximately 6 TBI specialized forensic analysts testified that nothing of value was found with the evidence collected. :(
 
What really happened to Joe Clyde? Will we ever know?

Forensic witnesses who said they found no evidence. “Confession” tapes that really prove nothing. And a child witness who has told several different stories. The only thing compelling, IMO, is the witness that talked about the locks and how baby Joe getting out on his own was unlikely. BUT...that doesn’t prove murder. Or WHO may have been involved.
