Joseph Duggar calls Kendra Duggar from jail

According to People, Joseph spoke with Kendra at 8:11 p.m. on March 20, after failing to get in contact with her the first two times he called his wife. “Did you hear that I’m out here with, um, did you hear where I’m at and everything?” Kendra asked Joseph on the call.Joseph then tells Kendra he does not think they should say where she is, and while she at first seems to dismiss that thought, she ultimately does not reveal her location. “They brought me to a good place to stay that’s very private,” Kendra said.

Joseph Duggar still in custody

She then turns her focus to Joseph, as children can be heard running around and playing in the background. “So you’re doing okay,” Kendra asked. Joseph tells her that he is “trying to keep [his] spirits up” and says “reading the Bible has really been helpful and calming to think about all the situations.”Joseph then gets a bit choked up before adding that reading the Bible has been “uplifting.” Kendra then offers to get him some reading material, but Joseph stops responding.It is unclear what happened at that moment, since the call was still being recorded and was paid for on Joseph’s end, but after two minutes without getting a response, Kendra hung up.Kendra is staying at this private residence after her own home was searched by both the Tontitown Police Department and the Arkansas Department of Human Services on March 19. She is set to appear in court on April 29.DISCLAIMER: If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, assault, or abuse, please seek immediate help.
