In one of the most heartbreaking twists Days of Our Lives has delivered in years, spoilers confirm a devastating truth that has left fans

reeling and Salem shaken: the skeleton discovered beneath the old DiMera crypt belongs to Abigail Deveraux-DiMera. For Chad, the

revelation is earth-shattering—far more painful than anything he had braced himself for—and now the beloved character faces a grief so overwhelming it threatens to destroy everything he has built since Abigail’s death.

 

 

What was initially believed to be another grim DiMera secret buried in the family’s dark history has instead become Chad’s personal nightmare. Salem authorities initially examined the remains with caution, believing the body could belong to one of the countless enemies the DiMera family had made over the years. But after the DNA results came back, the horrifying truth emerged: Abigail never made it out of the mansion that night.

 

 

Chad’s Collapse: A Heartbreak Reopened

Chad had worked tirelessly for years to move forward—raising his children, honoring Abigail’s memory, and trying to uncover the truth behind her tragic end. But this discovery has shattered any sense of closure he thought he had. The moment the police delivered the final confirmation, something inside Chad broke. Witnesses describe him as pale, unsteady, and unable to speak, as if the world had been torn out from under him.

The painful reality: Abigail’s killer didn’t just take her life—they hid her remains only steps away from the DiMera family’s most sacred ground. The betrayal and cruelty of it have left Chad spiraling, desperate for answers he may not be emotionally strong enough to face.

The Investigation Reopens — Secrets Rise From the Dead

With Abigail’s body discovered in such a disturbing location, detectives wasted no time reopening the case. Rafe, determined to uncover the truth, believes the culprit must be someone with intimate knowledge of the mansion’s tunnels, surveillance blind spots, and the DiMera crypt itself.

Early reports suggest that the burial site was chosen precisely because no one would dare disturb it. The killer clearly understood the DiMera legacy—and expected the truth to stay hidden forever.

But now that Abigail has been found, the list of suspects is growing again. Whispers have already begun spreading through Salem:

Was this someone inside the DiMera family?

Did an old enemy return under the radar?

Or is the real killer someone no one has ever suspected?

The discovery of Abigail’s remains throws all previous theories into chaos.

Chad’s Desperation Turns to Fury

Chad’s sorrow is quickly turning into a fierce determination to bring justice to Abigail once and for all. But this time, it’s different. This time, Chad is not holding back.

Insiders say he’s ready to confront anyone—DiMera or not—who had motive, opportunity, or even the slightest connection to the tunnels beneath the mansion. He’s already demanding answers from Tony and EJ, both of whom seem shaken but strangely guarded. Stefan, for his part, appears defensive, raising even more suspicions.

There’s a chilling moment coming, sources say, where Chad will storm into the mansion and accuse someone close to the family of hiding the truth. The confrontation will change relationships forever.

Jennifer’s Breakdown — A Mother’s Worst Nightmare

Jennifer, still recovering from her own grief, completely unravels when she hears the news. She had always believed that Abigail’s final moments were peaceful—that she died quickly, in fear but not in torment. But discovering that her daughter was buried like a disposable secret in a cold stone crypt sends Jennifer into a state of emotional shock.

She collapses in Jack’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably, and demands justice—no matter what it costs or who gets exposed.

The DiMeras Panic — Who’s Hiding What?

The DiMera household is shaken. EJ immediately orders more security around the mansion, which only fuels suspicions that he knows more than he’s admitting. Tony and Anna appear disturbed, as though pieces of an old memory are finally making sense. Even Kristen looks rattled—uncharacteristically so.

Sources say this storyline will expose multiple DiMera cover-ups, some stretching back years. The skeleton may be Abigail’s, but many viewers suspect that the secret surrounding her death involves more than one pair of guilty hands.

Chad’s Final Vow

In the closing moments of the upcoming episodes, Chad reportedly makes a chilling vow at the site where Abigail’s remains were discovered:
“I will find who did this. And I will make them pay.”

With rage, grief, and determination burning inside him, Chad is about to lead one of the darkest, most emotional investigations Salem has ever seen.

And when the truth comes out, no one—especially within the DiMera dynasty—will be left unscathed.
