The TBI is looking at new evidence in the case of the murder of 5-year-old Joe Clyde Daniels in 2018.

Authorities confirmed Joseph Daniel’s blood was identified on a shovel. There was also a hair on the shovel.

Crouch would not say where specifically the shovel was discovered.

The TBI sent the hair to a private laboratory for mitochondrial DNA testing. The TBI does not conduct this type testing.

Joseph Daniels, Joe Clyde’s father, was arrested and charged with first degree murder shortly after the April 4, 2018 disappearance of the 5-year-old.

Court documents revealed that Joseph Daniels beat his 5-year-old son to death.

Krystal Daniels, Joe Clyde’s mother, was charged with one count of aggravated child neglect or endangerment, according to the TBI. Investigators claim that Krystal Daniels did not report the abuse and homicide of her son despite having multiple opportunities to do so. She also allegedly knew that her husband had disposed of his body.

The trial for Joseph Daniels is expected to be reset for August 2020.

The body of Joe Clyde has not been discovered.
