DICKSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) – Sheriff Jeff Bledsoe says a letter sent to missing Joe Clyde Daniels’ grandparents last week was written by the boy’s father from jail.
The letter was sent to the missing boy’s grandparents last Wednesday and claimed Baby Joe is still alive. Joseph Daniels also indicated he had been talking to his wife, Krystal Daniels from jail.
Forensic scientists with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation analyzed the letter for DNA.
A copy of the letter has not been released.
Sheriff Bledsoe previously called the letter a hoax and said it would not change its investigation.
Investigators said Joseph Daniels admitted to killing his son after initially reporting the five-year-old had run off in April. He and his wife remained jail in connection to the case.
Baby Joe’s remains have not been found. Another search is planned for later this fall.
