I don't think it's in this video but in the police interrogation he mentioned that Kat's mother and her friend "wanted to see me fall apart" and then added that he even cried and when the detective asked why he was crying and why he fell apart he gave the cop an incredulous look and said something like, "Did you ever have your legs become paralyzed?' If he were normal, or if he even knew how normal people react, he would have known that would have been an excellent time to say, "Well, my parents were still missing, and I was very worried that something bad might have happened to them." Nope. Not good old Chazzle. He was concerned about his own well-being and of course he also had to worry about that GIGANTIC HOLE in his toe. He couldn't even PRETEND concern about his parents. I think the last person for whom I felt this much disgust was the contempt and disgust I felt for Casey Anthony.
Man after viewing the court case, it has been realized how careful and thorough this investigation came about. Scientists, medical examiner, and detectives did an excellent job in this investigation and bringing closure for the entire family known as the survivors.
The defense has no way to fend off all this damning evidence.If he had one ounce of humanity left he would have plead guilty to save his brother,friends and girlfriend this torturous trial
Doubtful this kid all of a sudden just went off the rails...people who closely interacted w/ him ( ie: parents, girlfriend) had to have picked up on SOMETHING, somewhere along the way, from time to time.
As this case goes further, I'm of the opinion the SKS round Chandler gifted to his brother Mitch while hospitalized was a subtle taunt "this is whats coming soon"! His remark "he's the one that flew the coop" (about his brother striking out on his own) may have a different meaning, more of resentment. No doubt Mitch would have been next.
Chandlers defense is that no one knows the whole story- well dude you’re on trial for murder with everyone’s attention, so now might be a good time to tell that story instead of sitting there doodling
There is no story. At least not one that would help him get a reduced sentence. His lawyers probably advised him to shut up and just hope he can appeal it which is not likely.
I am going to accept everything that's ever given to me the way that this Judge agrees for items to be moved into evidence "it is accepted". I absolutely love it ❤️💜
The judge had said earlier that the prosecution and defense had both already agreed that the evidence collected at the house was collected, stored, handled and evaluated properly. Both agreed that this was a fact not disputed by either party. I think the 'no objections' and 'it is accepted' is just keeping in proper form for the court reporter to put into the record.
I wish I had a mother like that..she seemed very doting and concerned about her boys. My parents kicked Me out of the house at 14 for bad school marks and this kid lives rent free at 24.
@@Delcielo9 I learnt the hard way with no tools to use and a need to be accepted was a dangerous world to grow up in but I survived.. Now I live by the rule "kids dont care how much you know but want to know how much you care."
@@Delcielo9 That’s how I was growing up! Couldn’t wait to get out of the house! Was Raised MENNONITE, and no one” could ask”, HOW HIGH, if were told to jump!! There was ALWAYS, “ STRINGS ATTACHED”, if we wanted to do something, we First had to do a bunch of work! When my Boys were born, I remember saying,” I’m Not raising my Children the way I was raised! I’m BREAKING THE CYCLE”!!!! I shudder to think, how my Boys would of turned out , had I been Strict with the way I was raised!!
For real! Why on earth would he not THROW THEM AWAY?!?!? Or hide them while he’s hiding body parts in various places?! He was so depraved and ruthless, but then he wraps the phones in TIN FOIL and hides them?!? 100% NOT the brightest light bulb confirmed.
I spotted Deputy Greg Leatherberry yesterday at the Chilli Bowl here in Tulsa, OK lol very cool guy in person...his son laughed when i told him that he looked familiar lol 🤣😆
“She sent me to my room.” “They fed me.” “I was grounded.” “She put me to bed.” Chandler has a strange verbiage pattern when relaying interactions with people in his life he deferred to, almost subordinate to. As a 23 yr old, even if living at home (especially if college and job), I don’t think I would be ok with “groundings” and sent to my room. While consequences should be implemented if houserules aren’t followed, physical control over another adult’s body/movements is extreme. I don’t think they felt the same power imbalance he did, so “Can you please just go away and give me time to calm down.” wouldn’t be considered “sent to my room”. “They fed me” comes off as infantile but also endearing…if he were 5 yrs old. It’s creepy. He seems to enjoy that position almost like a spoiled child will act out for attention. I don’t think he murdered them because of rage due to his Dad discovering his secrets and the threats of loss of $, free home and groceries, etc. I think he enjoyed feeling like coddled child, so precious everyone must protect him. Whatever pleasure he got from that dominant/submissive vibe obviously warped his mind so much that THIS was the only remedy. Jesus.
Also, weird things like saying they didn't have "sliders" up north meaning credit card machines. Plus 10 other examples I forget from earlier in the trial and police interview.
@Michele Mahon, That's just it, Chas is nothing but an infant in his way of thinking and speaking. He got away with so much lying he started at a very young age manipulating his parents with nothing but lies, and it never stopped. I wonder if mom had a complicated birth that his brain was damaged or was he just born a psychopath. I guess we will never know. But all of us with normal thinking know just because we don't have a job, wouldn't go to these lengths to try and cover it up by shooting and dismembering our parents. Also, a person who dismembers the bodies? Are on a whole different level of evil. So I say he was born this way.
He spoke the same way about his girlfriend. “She fed me, put me to bed”. He’s just a complete wackjob. I agree that his parents were not the control freaks he insinuated/stated they are.
He seems to have desperately needed their undivided love and attention, and been enjoying it, as previously suggested. A man child who was very happy to be one. The changes seem to have escalated after his brother, who lived independently, was suddenly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, which can be life threatening. I’m guessing that Bart and Krista were consumed with worry over Mitchell’s health, and Chandler felt overlooked - hence the sudden ‘injury’, which required a neck brace. The man suffered a mild blow to the head, but told everyone that he had suffered a brain aneurism, possible paralysis, and would possibly need a colostomy, (the most bizarre claim ever). I think he saw his parents’ devotion to him shifting, as they fretted over a genuinely sick Mitchell. This whole case could have come down to something as banal as sibling rivalry. It’s possible that Bart and Krista were finally losing patience with him because Mitch was critically ill, and he couldn’t take what he perceived to be rejection. He clearly wanted to appear to be very unwell, very shortly after Mitch was hospitalised. He was rightly no longer his parents’ prime concern. Boom. Crazy as a shithouse rat.
@@wessexwench6974 I can speak to the parent’s position when their other son was diagnosed with type 1, as my own daughter was diagnosed at age 6, with type 1 diabetes. She’s now 21, but I still worry daily, check in often and have become extremely involved and knowledgeable not only about her health in particular, but with new advancements, trial tests, different methods of treatment etc. So, I could definitely see how they would have been so consumed by his diagnosis as well as the initial first few months and years when you try to settle in to a new”normal”. He was used to being the baby, the center of attention that he just couldn’t comprehend how he could live his life as a functioning member of society without their safety net to catch if and when he screwed up again. I can just imagine the hatred he felt towards his brother, probably ENVYING the attention he was getting from having an incurable, chronic health condition that was certain to end his life prematurely, no matter the treatment. How disgusting of a human being do you have to be to feel jealousy of that?
I know it has to be disclosed when selling a house in California if there was ever a crime committed in it. I wonder if Wisconsin has the same law. If someone wanted to buy it for the location, I would hope that they would demolish the house, clear the land and completely rebuild! I could NEVER live in that house.
I'm finding it hard to get my head around the way the bodies were treated..Dismembered and then scattered, I just find it hard to imagine what would be going through your mind if you did this to your parents..over something that I'm sure they could of silver with one honest conversation. What a spoilt kid. R.i.p to the victims and blessings to the rest of their family (Chaz not included) and close friends. I do think (only going from the evidence I've heard) that the young man is guilty. I think he's got a lot of growing up to do mentally and emotionally. Love from the U.K. Xxx
There is a guy just like Chaz here about 20 or so miles from me who did the same crime in 2018. So sickening that someone could do this to their parents.
Aside from his dad learning the truth, also think about what he was planning with Kat....move to Florida with her in order to start a new life. But he couldn't possibly do that without money. So my guess is that he knew about the life insurance his parents have and want to collect the money right now. It is still extremely cold blooded. I hope prison will torment him until he rotted in there.
This video (plus the previous two videos) clearly shows that no matter how clever you think you are in cleaning up a crime scene or hiding evidence to cover up the crime you've committed you can't out-fox the police & all the resources they have at hand.
All he needed to do was just move out! Leave the state, hide far away where he does not see his parents he does not have to live with them. Why not just let them live their life they gave him a roof over his head, fed him and still trying to raise him. They don’t deserve any of this. So sad.
Exactly, we have one just like Chaz. NOTE: We have two; one is perfectly normal, totally self-sufficient contributing member of society while the other is just like Chaz. Parents have to do their part. Meaning, we "made" our son go to college and "forced" him to stay away and get a job and pay his own bills once he graduated from college. We live 1000+ miles away and he's disowned us once we stopped "helping" him with his phone bill and partial car payments. Those of us that are closest to my son are on notice that our son is capable of this kind of behavior.
@@davidmartin2442 poor you...we have been lucky with our 3..all have jobs, cars, homes all done by themselves, I'm a proud mum. My sister has 3 who are hard work...the world owes them.
This is the longest I've heard the defense talk. They're trying to create reasonable doubt but they're doing a horrible job. All the people testifying are all pretty well prepared. The defense doesn't have a leg to stand on whatsoever. Their opening statement was that chandler didn't kill his parents and that the jury would be able to see that throughout the trial buy so far in my opinion there is way more than enough to convict chandler halderson.i see absolutely no reasonable doubt.
I truly think that they are just trying to save face so they may continue to be hired in the future😂 they obviously know that they have a losing case, but they still need to do their jobs and fight for their client no matter what. Unfortunately for them, the state has has one of the strongest and most thoroughly constructed cases that I’ve ever seen & they have the impossible task of fighting it lol
@@CatalinaFOIA I suffered with you.. 😂 But he is an excellent witness indeed! He explains everything so calmly and thoroughly. Even things that don’t need explaining because they’re totally irrelevant to this case 😂
They always think they have covered all their tracks. Then he is on his LP searching for dead bodies found in the area where he dumped them. He will have a long time to think about this.
Wow he wrote “get well soon” on a bullet to his brother (which is evil n insane in itself) on the same ammo that he ended up “allegedly”😉 killing his parents with? He’s definitely one effed up dude😳
I thought the same thing. DIdn't know it was the same ammo at first, but just giving your bro a bullet with "Get well soon" written on it is morbid. It almost seems like a threat too!?
I’m shocked he didn’t try to feed his parents to the dogs. He was burning them in the fire place so who knows what else he did to dispose of the evidence
His parents were good people and very caring to him and his older brother. They seemed very supportive and trying to help him find his career path. It’s too bad he didn’t just be honest to his folks about his avalanche of lies. They probably would have been disappointed but would have worked things out because they ultimately just wanted the best for him but instead he chose the cowards way out and ended their lives. And then grotesquely and morbidly dismembered their bodies as though they had no value or worth as parents to him at all. All because he just wanted to remain lazy and not do anything to supporting himself and being an adult. Now he gets to be lazy in prison and be fed his three square meals each day and not have to be responsible in paying bills. What a waste. He really wasn’t too bright as a murderer thinking that he would get away with it. I guess he thought he was going to get an inheritance of his hard working parents’ money. So sad and disturbing. Such a senseless act of violence and murder.
burning their heads in the family fireplace was the worst part I think... that he was able to bring himself to sever their heads and then put them in the fire ... mind boggling cruelty
The lady who keeps not pronouncing the "L" in the word "Volvo"... literally saying "Vovo"... is driving me absolutely CRAZY! She sounds like a child! I can't take her seriously 😭
I'm not sure that the forensic scientist mentions it, but in crime scenes, they'll use luminol to find suspected areas of blood. They'll rule out the possibility of the reaction being anything other than blood by swabbing the most florescent area, then using phenolphthalein which turns pink in the presence of blood. If the sample is rich enough, they can even do a DNA test of that blood. Sure wish Forensic Files would come back to Netflix. I'm addicted to that show.
I appreciate your comment :) I remember learning that bleach also illuminates, and thinking my whole house would light up because I use a bleach solution when cleaning everything.
His mother had a stock of swiffer pads on the shelf, she no doubt also had swiffer mops. He had no need to borrow one, other than the fact he didn't want it coated in his parents earthly remains.
I was wondering why he would borrow one when I saw all the swifter products in the basement. He used so many items from the household though it seems strange to worry about that one thing, but I think you are absolutely right.
Psychopaths have ZERO remorse or empathy towards others, so it wouldn't have bothered him at all. The only reason he didn't sleep was bcuz he was busy attempting to cover all his tracks.
When there spirit starts to mess with him, he will never sleep again, until he confesses to someone everything he did, he will be haunted. Or maybe he has no consciousness.
Seems like he THOROUGHLY enjoyed having all his bills paid, physical needs met: roof over his head, food, etc... Seems he never accepted the fact that our GOOD parents are trying to help us LAUNCH into independence: as we find the rules we followed as youngsters are now feeling over controlling, that helps us view independence ( along with the required responsibilities ) to draw us out of the nest.
The only hope he would have had is the Alford Plea. I don't know why his counsel didn't advise this as there was literally NOT A SINGLE WITNESS in his favor and the physical and circumstantial evidence was overwhelmingly damning.
He has not graduated at 24 ,jobless living off parents, father sent him to his room when he broke the glass in the fire . I think he faked his fall to get attention after his brother was diagnosed with diabetes. The way he speaks is almost catatonic . His parents probably had a hard time with him prior to this heinous crime God rest their souls
I think the fire glass broke when he was burning his parents...he lied about it breaking with the dogs ball etc. He had bare feet and got glass in his toe...some other poster questioned whether he was naked when killing, burning, dismemberment them...plausible imo
His father did not send him to his room over the broken fireplace glass as he was already dead and dismembered when the glass was broken.Just another one of the lies Chandler told.
What did the "genius" think he was going to accomplish by killing his parents? They literally paid for 100%. Did he think Cat was gonna support his immature butt forever?
Around @42:25 that one defense attorney tried to change the question up after she initially asked "but you can't definitively tell us HOW any evidence got there?", After he says no that's incorrect, and she asks for an example, he gives the example of the blood splatter pattern. She then says, "but again, you can't tell us WHEN that was placed there?", ....yeah, I got your number lady! I would've loved it if he called her out on that little trick (such a defense attorney ..the liars. No wonder they can sit next to Chandler without projectile vomiting into his direction), would've been really cool if he said "no, I can't tell you when, but you specifically asked whether it was true we can't tell you HOW evidence got there, and sometimes...we CAN". Still, this is a very good witness and deputy. He is very observant and clearly very dedicated to this job, with much interest in it. He did awesome sitting up there having to explain all the boring bits but that which was necessary to lay the foundation against Chandler for what he's done. Fabulous!!!
We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty, because the prosecution misspelled "Volvo". Chazzle Dazzle, you are to leave this courtroom as a free man, case closed!
No way would the prosecutor offer Chandler a deal! They knew they had more than enough evidence…the defense team tried to get a deal….The Prosecutor refused knowing that they were going for Life without Parole….and they were right, they had all the evidence!!!
With Chandler attempting to burn human remains, I could imagine that it would be a very unpleasant to smell. How could his ex girlfriend not smell it while she was there for a number of days? I know that he opened windows and "cleaned up," but still.
His girlfriend was in on it, but the prosecution must have granted her immunity or something. They keep saying that she did nothing wrong, and there are multiple areas where the prosecution just brushed over her actions.
@@random19911004 I tend to agree with you that his girlfriend knew about it and may have assisted in some way. It is difficult to believe that she didn't notice anything whatsoever during her frequent visits and overnight stays in the days right after the murders occurred. Certainly there must have been lingering unusual odors, especially from the fireplace where he attempted to burn body parts.
So premeditated that he built a fort 1:01:38, imo that explains the organization of the plastic bins, it is a fort that he created to muffle the noise of the shots. The entire time that he spent in the basement _(supposedly wasn't allowed to go out and his family would not let him move According to Kat)_ when he made his parents believe that he had fallen and needed to be in a dark place, near the bathroom he was preparing the place where he would shoot them . Overwhelming evidence, a decent defense would have him pleading guilty of all charges asap. Imho... We'll never know how long ago he started planning to kill them.
You would think the forensic scientist would be a lot more comfortable testifying in court after 30+ years doing his job. It sounds like this is his second or third time being on the stand. 😣
He is a forensic scientist not a professional “court speaker”, people get nervous… The prosecutor pronounces words wrong all the time, I guess it happens.
How evil is this guy? He disposed of the remains at his girlfriend's family's property. He had the whole country and he took his dad's torso and left it there. Absolutely vile.
I was looking forward to the blood spatter analysis and am disappointed. Veeeeery vague. 1:12:30 I'd love to see a video where a BSA dissects these photos and explains exactly what every bit means.
Blood spatter has gone through a lot of criticism regarding its credibility/reliability within the past 5 or so years. It is likely that they decided to rely less heavily on it when there was so much more forensic evidence that has more accepted scientific credibility to prevent the Defense counsel from undermining the evidence and expert.
This guy is sick to do this to is mother and father is just sick. He is old enough if he did not want to see is parents. Did not have to kill them. Did they have life insurance if they did never tell your kids never. So sad they gave him life for him to turn around and take there life's. Hope he get the death penalty please give him the chair. Fry is butt. To the victims family I'm so sorry for your loss. This must really be hard on the family know it was there son who killed them. I'm sorry the devil got hold of him😈
Not sure if Wisconsin is a Death penalty state. Either way, I hope that he gets the maximum sentence for his horrible and disturbing behavior! Just so senseless in what he did to his parents.
Forensic scientist did not explain how cleaning blood with H2O would affect luminol. That is vital. Did the family wear shoes inside the house? The luminol in front of the fireplace could be from the Swiffer he said that he used.
The testimony of the forensic scientist was terrible. Thank god the state put the deputy on the stand before him. The jury would have been confused as heck if only the forensic scientist dude would have testified.
This case reminds me of another case I recently saw where a son bamboozled his parents into believing he was some sort of a religious leader and - in turn - he molested his and another man’s daughters along with this man, stating they would be their future wives. Although he didn’t kill his parents, he threatened to kill them if they didn’t follow his every order, including giving him all their money. Once they believed (or pretended to believe) his lies, they were fine, but once they decided they weren’t going to believe them, they were in serious trouble.
Each witness is called to testify on (sometimes small) parts of the case they have direct knowledge of. Evidentiary rules require it. Additionally the chain of custody has to be shown on each piece of evidence, and sometimes that makes for some rather dry testimony that can be rather frustrating to a jury I imagine. Each crime has what are referred to “elements” and all have to be proven. All evidence used to prove these elements must be admissible in court, therefore the necessity for all the testimony that can sometimes seem small or inconsequential. If the steps to authenticate and show chain of custody aren’t met it can be deemed inadmissible. Not admissible = not evidence. I hope this helps explain why some witnesses may seem right now to be insignificant. It all comes together in the end and the prosecution will lay it all out in closing.
This detective is an awesome witness and did an awesome job with his team on the scene investigation! That being said, Chandler disgusts me. How evil he is! I hope he realizes how ignorant he is. His lies caught up to him and he still thought he was smart enough to brutally murder his parents and get away with it. He is foul. Rest high Mr and Mrs Halderson. Gif bless Mitch, Cat and all that loved, lost and were affected by this gross piece of feces.
hm, in slide 20 which is a photo of the fireplace (where the adhesive labels in the bottom-left indicated visible staining) showing the luminol reaction, I so clearly see what looks like a handprint and I was shocked nothing was said about it 😨 it seems so clear to me. the moment that photo was shown it was unmistakable to me.
So the blood splatter on the safe suggests it was "placed there" at a 90° angle. I'm trying to visualize WHAT WAS AT A 90° ANGLE. Was it the gun or Bart? Was he bending over the safe when he was shot? Did Chandler force his dad to open the safe while training the rifle on him? Where did he kill Krista? From the luminol, it looks like they were both killed in the basement and carried upstairs to be dismembered by the fireplace where luminol revealed the presence of blood. One of the weapons of destruction (dismemberment) covered in blood was carried out to the garage and something sickle shaped dropped on the floor where luminol revealed the presence of blood. The matricide, patricide, dismemberment, incineration, and discarding of his parents' remains in woods and lakes is beyond terrifying. Then, perhaps most terrifying, he gives his brother a single bullet from the same stash of bullets used to kill his parents! HIS BROTHER IS IN DANGER! Chandler can never see the light of day and should receive Life WITHOUT Parole.
He definitely put tarps down and then called his father down first, shot him, then repeated this when his mother arrived later. Can you imagine his father walking into this tarp covered murder room and seeing his son there pointing the rifle at him?? Then his mom, who arrives down there and sees her dead husband on a tarp and realizes she's walked into her own murder at the hand of the baby whom she birthed??? That scene is the true nightmare.
The forebsic expert said he only sprayed sections. If they would've sprayed the entire floor, it would be glowing everywhere. He also said that hydrogen peroxide and bleach would've made it glow too. Thankfully they tested for blood after luminol. So guaranteed that basement would've lit right up if they laid a layer of luminol everywhere. Although if he used tarps as well, there wouldn't be too too much as you can wrap people up. I've been a hunter and butcher for many many years and know how to contain the spread of blood and fluids. He more than likely had the same foresight. Had to contain the mess. Especially with dismemberment.
I’m thinking that wheeled bin with the tarp came in handy to keep the blood from transferring. He took the blue Subaru that had a hatchback. If the seat folds down it would fit. Maybe even if it doesn’t fold down.
@@johnsherman6718 yes. There is testimony to this fact. They guy who gifted it was a friend he played shooting games with while the friend was stationed Germany. He came to meet Chandler when he came back to the states & there's a picture of them together in Chandler's front yard. It was during this visit that the friend gifted him the gun. Which was Chandler's "go to" weapon of choice in first person shooter games they had played together. His brother also testified to the facts surrounding his brother's love of European guns.
@@jacksmedullaoblongata7659 isn’t the SKS 7.62 either Chinese or Russian - not inherently European. Maybe he got in in Germany but it’s not a European gun
no offense to this other guy but I want like 6 more hours of deputy leatherberry 😅❤ he is that guy that writers interview for cop character research-the ones in our movies growing up (I’m a millennial) but that dont seem to ever actually exist
How come the prosecutors didn't use the bare feet footprints with the expert that spoke about fingerprints ⁉️ 1:09:26 "there were some Footwear impression of apparent Footwear impressions in blood in these this area. And you can see that in this photograph"
Don't understand how did a pathological liar turned murderer???He could've just admit 2it(l I ke a man)At most his father could've maybe disown him(maybe he could)make amends!lnstead of killing them!!!Something just doesn't
Why did this guy put luminol on just small portions of the basement floor between the storage bins? It seems like putting it all over the floor and on the storage bins would have shown More luminous evidence. This guy is VERY unclear, she is asking about blood patterns and he seems to just say, well this stain is complex. He is hemming and hawing! Then finally he says, well that can be a dripping pattern.
I dunno. It’s a suburb of Madison. A very liberal college town. I’m sure there are people who aren’t gun owners. Though granted I think even people who aren’t gun enthusiasts know what a cartridge case. But I guess better to be thorough
Did the defense ask the CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATOR if his job is to "take in the scene, not necessarily analyze the scene...does that make sense?" What is she smoking?! What is she saying? Do you walk into the scene with your eyes closed? Does that make sense? (Along with her nasally voice 🤓)
Well, that bin had wheels too. And a bloody tarp inside of it. Why not just wheel the body around, whole or not? He could even get it up and down stairs and keep all blood contained, without eve mr having to lift the full weight. Just pull it around, and up one step at a time.
@@loveforeignaccents you’re probably right. I happened to just move in early 2021, and between my 2 almost grown sons and I, I was thinking about how we managed to find ways to move very heavy things out of necessity. But I can’t think of anything weighing over 100 pounds that any one of us three managed to move without help from one or more of us. So it’s a mystery how he pulled this off without either spreading more blood during dismemberment or having at least a 2nd person to help.
Imagine how traumatized they were/are. 😔 They were in that house witnessing much of this, and animals are highly sensitive and intuitive in ways that we are not. Thankfully he didn't kill them too
@@shilohm6558 I remember CH saying in his interview/interrogation that he had to clean glass off one of the dogs because the dog was near the fireplace when the glass screen shattered ( allegedly "from the dog toy ball being thrown at it" ) That means that poor doggy was nearby witnessing it and had glass shatter on him 😥
@@Winter-Lake he was probably lying about that to garner sympathy from the police. I think he probably would’ve locked his dogs away during the dismemberment/burning so they wouldn’t disturb him. I don’t think we can believe anything he says.
How did the father end up in basement? Was he called down there by Chandler? Or voluntarily go down to him ? How did he transport the bodies from the house to the woods?? What car was used? Wouldn't there be a ton of blood? In car as well?
Well, he could drain blood after killing them then place. The dismemberment made it easier to transport parts and dump in different areas as well as getting rid off evidence..... Then he used tarp, garbage bags and duct tape to ensure he left as little as evidence as possible.....it's beyond sickening. I don't know how any normal human being could even consider this method on his own parents....
After killing his parents he dismembered both but realised he couldn’t fit /burn all body parts. He then bought tarp and figured out what day he could go to the farm and dispose of the rest, Chandler had put his parents remains in the freezer, to keep cold enough to transport with out dripping blood everywhere. Only his mothers feet have been found , everything else was thrown into a river or burnt of his Mum.
I don't think it's in this video but in the police interrogation he mentioned that Kat's mother and her friend "wanted to see me fall apart" and then added that he even cried and when the detective asked why he was crying and why he fell apart he gave the cop an incredulous look and said something like, "Did you ever have your legs become paralyzed?' If he were normal, or if he even knew how normal people react, he would have known that would have been an excellent time to say, "Well, my parents were still missing, and I was very worried that something bad might have happened to them." Nope. Not good old Chazzle. He was concerned about his own well-being and of course he also had to worry about that GIGANTIC HOLE in his toe. He couldn't even PRETEND concern about his parents. I think the last person for whom I felt this much disgust was the contempt and disgust I felt for Casey Anthony.

As this case goes further, I'm of the opinion the SKS round Chandler gifted to his brother Mitch while hospitalized was a subtle taunt "this is whats coming soon"! His remark "he's the one that flew the coop" (about his brother striking out on his own) may have a different meaning, more of resentment. No doubt Mitch would have been next.
@@nbk9372 that makes sense ! What about the bulletin that had “get well” written in sharpie on it ?
Chandlers defense is that no one knows the whole story- well dude you’re on trial for murder with everyone’s attention, so now might be a good time to tell that story instead of sitting there doodling
I read that he said that, thanks for bringing that up, now is the time coward boy, let's here the other side .
When did he think would be a good time to tell the whole story??? In an appeal that won't happen!?
There is no story. At least not one that would help him get a reduced sentence. His lawyers probably advised him to shut up and just hope he can appeal it which is not likely.
I love how the Judge says "they are received", and "it is received" 😆 He's so awesome 👌 😃

I feel so sad for his remaining family to have to come to terms with this gruesome crime. There is no excuse for what he did.
I am going to accept everything that's ever given to me the way that this Judge agrees for items to be moved into evidence "it is accepted".
I absolutely love it ❤️💜
The judge had said earlier that the prosecution and defense had both already agreed that the evidence collected at the house was collected, stored, handled and evaluated properly. Both agreed that this was a fact not disputed by either party. I think the 'no objections' and 'it is accepted' is just keeping in proper form for the court reporter to put into the record.
@@Ocrilat it is received 😃

I wish I had a mother like that..she seemed very doting and concerned about her boys. My parents kicked Me out of the house at 14 for bad school marks and this kid lives rent free at 24.

He spent all the effort to get rid of them but hid their phones in a shoe. Not the brightest light bulb in the box
But he wrapped them in tin foil..so that's a genius move right?
@@daddyboy3546 Still he is not very smart ;)
He's lazy, and, has an ego...thought he'd get away with this.
For real! Why on earth would he not THROW THEM AWAY?!?!? Or hide them while he’s hiding body parts in various places?! He was so depraved and ruthless, but then he wraps the phones in TIN FOIL and hides them?!? 100% NOT the brightest light bulb confirmed.
C’mon people, this is his first murder/dismemberment.. it takes time to learn the ropes.
I spotted Deputy Greg Leatherberry yesterday at the Chilli Bowl here in Tulsa, OK lol very cool guy in person...his son laughed when i told him that he looked familiar lol 🤣😆
Whoever invented Luminol is a genius.
Word!
“She sent me to my room.”
“They fed me.”
“I was grounded.”
“She put me to bed.”
Chandler has a strange verbiage pattern when relaying interactions with people in his life he deferred to, almost subordinate to. As a 23 yr old, even if living at home (especially if college and job), I don’t think I would be ok with “groundings” and sent to my room. While consequences should be implemented if houserules aren’t followed, physical control over another adult’s body/movements is extreme.
I don’t think they felt the same power imbalance he did, so “Can you please just go away and give me time to calm down.” wouldn’t be considered “sent to my room”. “They fed me” comes off as infantile but also endearing…if he were 5 yrs old. It’s creepy. He seems to enjoy that position almost like a spoiled child will act out for attention.
I don’t think he murdered them because of rage due to his Dad discovering his secrets and the threats of loss of $, free home and groceries, etc. I think he enjoyed feeling like coddled child, so precious everyone must protect him.
Whatever pleasure he got from that dominant/submissive vibe obviously warped his mind so much that THIS was the only remedy.
Jesus.
Also, weird things like saying they didn't have "sliders" up north meaning credit card machines. Plus 10 other examples I forget from earlier in the trial and police interview.
@Michele Mahon, That's just it, Chas is nothing but an infant in his way of thinking and speaking. He got away with so much lying he started at a very young age manipulating his parents with nothing but lies, and it never stopped. I wonder if mom had a complicated birth that his brain was damaged or was he just born a psychopath. I guess we will never know. But all of us with normal thinking know just because we don't have a job, wouldn't go to these lengths to try and cover it up by shooting and dismembering our parents. Also, a person who dismembers the bodies? Are on a whole different level of evil. So I say he was born this way.
He spoke the same way about his girlfriend. “She fed me, put me to bed”. He’s just a complete wackjob. I agree that his parents were not the control freaks he insinuated/stated they are.
He seems to have desperately needed their undivided love and attention, and been enjoying it, as previously suggested. A man child who was very happy to be one.
The changes seem to have escalated after his brother, who lived independently, was suddenly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, which can be life threatening. I’m guessing that Bart and Krista were consumed with worry over Mitchell’s health, and Chandler felt overlooked - hence the sudden ‘injury’, which required a neck brace. The man suffered a mild blow to the head, but told everyone that he had suffered a brain aneurism, possible paralysis, and would possibly need a colostomy, (the most bizarre claim ever).
I think he saw his parents’ devotion to him shifting, as they fretted over a genuinely sick Mitchell. This whole case could have come down to something as banal as sibling rivalry. It’s possible that Bart and Krista were finally losing patience with him because Mitch was critically ill, and he couldn’t take what he perceived to be rejection. He clearly wanted to appear to be very unwell, very shortly after Mitch was hospitalised. He was rightly no longer his parents’ prime concern. Boom. Crazy as a shithouse rat.
@@wessexwench6974 I can speak to the parent’s position when their other son was diagnosed with type 1, as my own daughter was diagnosed at age 6, with type 1 diabetes. She’s now 21, but I still worry daily, check in often and have become extremely involved and knowledgeable not only about her health in particular, but with new advancements, trial tests, different methods of treatment etc. So, I could definitely see how they would have been so consumed by his diagnosis as well as the initial first few months and years when you try to settle in to a new”normal”.
He was used to being the baby, the center of attention that he just couldn’t comprehend how he could live his life as a functioning member of society without their safety net to catch if and when he screwed up again. I can just imagine the hatred he felt towards his brother, probably ENVYING the attention he was getting from having an incurable, chronic health condition that was certain to end his life prematurely, no matter the treatment. How disgusting of a human being do you have to be to feel jealousy of that?
The house sold for $450k in September 2022. I cannot imagine buying that house and sleeping in it 😳
I know it has to be disclosed when selling a house in California if there was ever a crime committed in it. I wonder if Wisconsin has the same law. If someone wanted to buy it for the location, I would hope that they would demolish the house, clear the land and completely rebuild! I could NEVER live in that house.
@@oldrvrlol put a carpet down
That's a pretty nice house for 450k. I'd purchase it.
I'm finding it hard to get my head around the way the bodies were treated..Dismembered and then scattered, I just find it hard to imagine what would be going through your mind if you did this to your parents..over something that I'm sure they could of silver with one honest conversation.
What a spoilt kid.
R.i.p to the victims and blessings to the rest of their family (Chaz not included) and close friends.
I do think (only going from the evidence I've heard) that the young man is guilty. I think he's got a lot of growing up to do mentally and emotionally.
Love from the U.K. Xxx
There is a guy just like Chaz here about 20 or so miles from me who did the same crime in 2018. So sickening that someone could do this to their parents.
People rarely kill their parents over “nothing”
This guy was probably so scattered and worried, that even he couldnt tell ya. Real nut job
Aside from his dad learning the truth, also think about what he was planning with Kat....move to Florida with her in order to start a new life. But he couldn't possibly do that without money.
So my guess is that he knew about the life insurance his parents have and want to collect the money right now. It is still extremely cold blooded. I hope prison will torment him until he rotted in there.
@@piyoweb I do believe his Father found out about all his lies and how he had no job or money.
My heart hurts for Mitchell, Kat, and the rest of their family. Her best friends testimony and Kats was so sad.
This video (plus the previous two videos) clearly shows that no matter how clever you think you are in cleaning up a crime scene or hiding evidence to cover up the crime you've committed you can't out-fox the police & all the resources they have at hand.
So true. You're better off playing by the rules.
Also how loved his parents were by friends and family! They immediately knew it was off
All he needed to do was just move out! Leave the state, hide far away where he does not see his parents he does not have to live with them.
Why not just let them live their life they gave him a roof over his head, fed him and still trying to raise him. They don’t deserve any of this. So sad.
he didn't have any money to do any of that.
He wanted their money...simple as
Too lazy to pay his own bills.
Exactly, we have one just like Chaz. NOTE: We have two; one is perfectly normal, totally self-sufficient contributing member of society while the other is just like Chaz. Parents have to do their part. Meaning, we "made" our son go to college and "forced" him to stay away and get a job and pay his own bills once he graduated from college. We live 1000+ miles away and he's disowned us once we stopped "helping" him with his phone bill and partial car payments. Those of us that are closest to my son are on notice that our son is capable of this kind of behavior.

This is the longest I've heard the defense talk. They're trying to create reasonable doubt but they're doing a horrible job. All the people testifying are all pretty well prepared. The defense doesn't have a leg to stand on whatsoever. Their opening statement was that chandler didn't kill his parents and that the jury would be able to see that throughout the trial buy so far in my opinion there is way more than enough to convict chandler halderson.i see absolutely no reasonable doubt.
I truly think that they are just trying to save face so they may continue to be hired in the future😂 they obviously know that they have a losing case, but they still need to do their jobs and fight for their client no matter what. Unfortunately for them, the state has has one of the strongest and most thoroughly constructed cases that I’ve ever seen & they have the impossible task of fighting it lol
“Get well bullet”?!?!?! If someone did that to me I’d be really suspicious
I reckon he thought he was being really edgy and cool but it just comes off as weird and inappropriate
He was literally armed to the teeth, what a coward to use that kind of weapon, poor souls didn't have a chance
Deputy is an excellent forensic witness!
Yes, I agree; although he needed to take a big drink of water and never did so his testimony is horrific sounding in earbuds with high clarity 😬
@@CatalinaFOIA 😂😂😂
He was outstanding! Definitely a heck of a lot better than the forensic scientist.
@@CatalinaFOIA I suffered with you.. 😂 But he is an excellent witness indeed! He explains everything so calmly and thoroughly. Even things that don’t need explaining because they’re totally irrelevant to this case 😂
They always think they have covered all their tracks. Then he is on his LP searching for dead bodies found in the area where he dumped them. He will have a long time to think about this.
Wow he wrote “get well soon” on a bullet to his brother (which is evil n insane in itself) on the same ammo that he ended up “allegedly”😉 killing his parents with? He’s definitely one effed up dude😳
I thought the same thing. DIdn't know it was the same ammo at first, but just giving your bro a bullet with "Get well soon" written on it is morbid. It almost seems like a threat too!?
Was that bullet meant for his brother? That is messed up.
I thought the same thing, I also got the vibe that it was a threat to his brother in his own sick way
Deputy Leatherberry was such an incredible witness for the prosecution.
What would think if someone gave you a GET WELL BULLET”. Maybe it was a hint. OMG this guy has a sick and twisted mind
I think he is telling his brother that he is next with giving him the same type of bullet that he used on his parents!
Wow!! That basement “ lit up”, like a Christmas tree!!!
I’m shocked he didn’t try to feed his parents to the dogs. He was burning them in the fire place so who knows what else he did to dispose of the evidence
His parents were good people and very caring to him and his older brother. They seemed very supportive and trying to help him find his career path. It’s too bad he didn’t just be honest to his folks about his avalanche of lies. They probably would have been disappointed but would have worked things out because they ultimately just wanted the best for him but instead he chose the cowards way out and ended their lives. And then grotesquely and morbidly dismembered their bodies as though they had no value or worth as parents to him at all. All because he just wanted to remain lazy and not do anything to supporting himself and being an adult. Now he gets to be lazy in prison and be fed his three square meals each day and not have to be responsible in paying bills. What a waste. He really wasn’t too bright as a murderer thinking that he would get away with it. I guess he thought he was going to get an inheritance of his hard working parents’ money. So sad and disturbing. Such a senseless act of violence and murder.
I hope he gets to meet Bubba in prison. Ohhh how I hope.
burning their heads in the family fireplace was the worst part I think... that he was able to bring himself to sever their heads and then put them in the fire ... mind boggling cruelty
The lady who keeps not pronouncing the "L" in the word "Volvo"... literally saying "Vovo"... is driving me absolutely CRAZY! She sounds like a child! I can't take her seriously 😭
Halderson needs to talk to his very quiet defence about a deal. It all points to him. Loads of evidence
No deal! He killed his parents
I'm not sure that the forensic scientist mentions it, but in crime scenes, they'll use luminol to find suspected areas of blood. They'll rule out the possibility of the reaction being anything other than blood by swabbing the most florescent area, then using phenolphthalein which turns pink in the presence of blood. If the sample is rich enough, they can even do a DNA test of that blood.
Sure wish Forensic Files would come back to Netflix. I'm addicted to that show.
Thanks, Sherlock!!

His mother had a stock of swiffer pads on the shelf, she no doubt also had swiffer mops. He had no need to borrow one, other than the fact he didn't want it coated in his parents earthly remains.
I was wondering why he would borrow one when I saw all the swifter products in the basement. He used so many items from the household though it seems strange to worry about that one thing, but I think you are absolutely right.
Highly doubt he knew his mother had a Swifter. Doesn’t appear he did many chores around the house 🙄
Someone who commented on the interrogation video suggested he might have been trying to frame Cat for the murders.
I loved that old series ‘Forensic Files’. That’s the first time I had ever heard of luminol.

What is the defense doing? The questions just did nothing. No doubt what so ever.
He did this horrific crime against his parents 😞 how did he sleep knowing he did this to them
The ones who gave him life. I can't comprehend.
He didn’t sleep…for quite a few nights.
How he sleeps now..who knows
Psychopaths have ZERO remorse or empathy towards others, so it wouldn't have bothered him at all.
The only reason he didn't sleep was bcuz he was busy attempting to cover all his tracks.
When there spirit starts to mess with him, he will never sleep again, until he confesses to someone everything he did, he will be haunted. Or maybe he has no consciousness.
@@marksimmons3245 I agree. I’ve heard many a murderer say they see their victim standing at the end of their bed, etc.
Seems like he THOROUGHLY enjoyed having all his bills paid, physical needs met: roof over his head, food, etc... Seems he never accepted the fact that our GOOD parents are trying to help us LAUNCH into independence: as we find the rules we followed as youngsters are now feeling over controlling, that helps us view independence ( along with the required responsibilities ) to draw us out of the nest.
He put his parents heads in the fireplace! Come on. Lock him away and throw away the key. Don’t want him in my world
Absolute disgusting excuse of a human being!!!
He is crazy. All he had to do was play by the house rules. He reminds me of Grant Amato.
The only hope he would have had is the Alford Plea. I don't know why his counsel didn't advise this as there was literally NOT A SINGLE WITNESS in his favor and the physical and circumstantial evidence was overwhelmingly damning.
I sincerely doubt that Judge Hyland would have agreed to an Alford plea being put forward.
Why did they not do the illuminated in the bathroom??
He has not graduated at 24 ,jobless living off parents, father sent him to his room when he broke the glass in the fire . I think he faked his fall to get attention after his brother was diagnosed with diabetes. The way he speaks is almost catatonic . His parents probably had a hard time with him prior to this heinous crime God rest their souls
Yes very narcissistic and just evil
I think the fire glass broke when he was burning his parents...he lied about it breaking with the dogs ball etc. He had bare feet and got glass in his toe...some other poster questioned whether he was naked when killing, burning, dismemberment them...plausible imo
His father did not send him to his room over the broken fireplace glass as he was already dead and dismembered when the glass was broken.Just another one of the lies Chandler told.
He's a sociopath
What did the "genius" think he was going to accomplish by killing his parents? They literally paid for 100%. Did he think Cat was gonna support his immature butt forever?
Around @42:25 that one defense attorney tried to change the question up after she initially asked "but you can't definitively tell us HOW any evidence got there?", After he says no that's incorrect, and she asks for an example, he gives the example of the blood splatter pattern. She then says, "but again, you can't tell us WHEN that was placed there?", ....yeah, I got your number lady! I would've loved it if he called her out on that little trick (such a defense attorney ..the liars. No wonder they can sit next to Chandler without projectile vomiting into his direction), would've been really cool if he said "no, I can't tell you when, but you specifically asked whether it was true we can't tell you HOW evidence got there, and sometimes...we CAN". Still, this is a very good witness and deputy. He is very observant and clearly very dedicated to this job, with much interest in it. He did awesome sitting up there having to explain all the boring bits but that which was necessary to lay the foundation against Chandler for what he's done. Fabulous!!!
Does anyone else hear her saying "vo-vo" instead of Volvo-? Lol 😆
;-)))))))
Yup same...I thought she said vovo
@@natalyazav1842 - yea, that's what I'm hearing! We'd have to ask her about the correct spelling 😄 lol jk
We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty, because the prosecution misspelled "Volvo". Chazzle Dazzle, you are to leave this courtroom as a free man, case closed!
Since he shot them in the basement no one could probably hear...
They didn't offer him a plea deal !
No way would the prosecutor offer Chandler a deal! They knew they had more than enough evidence…the defense team tried to get a deal….The Prosecutor refused knowing that they were going for Life without Parole….and they were right, they had all the evidence!!!
Apparently, the defense attorney needs to take heed to his knowledge of the law!
With Chandler attempting to burn human remains, I could imagine that it would be a very unpleasant to smell. How could his ex girlfriend not smell it while she was there for a number of days? I know that he opened windows and "cleaned up," but still.
His girlfriend was in on it, but the prosecution must have granted her immunity or something. They keep saying that she did nothing wrong, and there are multiple areas where the prosecution just brushed over her actions.
@@random19911004 I tend to agree with you that his girlfriend knew about it and may have assisted in some way. It is difficult to believe that she didn't notice anything whatsoever during her frequent visits and overnight stays in the days right after the murders occurred. Certainly there must have been lingering unusual odors, especially from the fireplace where he attempted to burn body parts.
Noway, He hurt her as well. His whole life was fake, having her believe all his stories . Other people visited as well.
@@random19911004 not to mention if she was in on it he wouldn't be sneaking to the farm by himself.

So premeditated that he built a fort 1:01:38, imo
that explains the organization of the plastic bins, it is a fort that he created to muffle the noise of the shots.
The entire time that he spent in the basement _(supposedly wasn't allowed to go out and his family would not let him move According to Kat)_ when he made his parents believe that he had fallen and needed to be in a dark place, near the bathroom he was preparing the place where he would shoot them .
Overwhelming evidence, a decent defense would have him pleading guilty of all charges asap. Imho...
We'll never know how long ago he started planning to kill them.

You would think the forensic scientist would be a lot more comfortable testifying in court after 30+ years doing his job. It sounds like this is his second or third time being on the stand. 😣
He is a forensic scientist not a professional “court speaker”, people get nervous…
The prosecutor pronounces words wrong all the time, I guess it happens.
How evil is this guy? He disposed of the remains at his girlfriend's family's property. He had the whole country and he took his dad's torso and left it there. Absolutely vile.
I was looking forward to the blood spatter analysis and am disappointed. Veeeeery vague. 1:12:30
I'd love to see a video where a BSA dissects these photos and explains exactly what every bit means.
Blood spatter has gone through a lot of criticism regarding its credibility/reliability within the past 5 or so years. It is likely that they decided to rely less heavily on it when there was so much more forensic evidence that has more accepted scientific credibility to prevent the Defense counsel from undermining the evidence and expert.
Slide 11 @1:08 almost resembles the top half of a body. Does anyone else notice that?
Why would he give his brother the same casing(that he murdered)his parents with,shows no feelings at all

This guy is sick to do this to is mother and father is just sick. He is old enough if he did not want to see is parents. Did not have to kill them. Did they have life insurance if they did never tell your kids never. So sad they gave him life for him to turn around and take there life's. Hope he get the death penalty please give him the chair. Fry is butt. To the victims family I'm so sorry for your loss. This must really be hard on the family know it was there son who killed them. I'm sorry the devil got hold of him😈

BBE Good Question. Now I need to find out if she was involved or new what he did.
GF had nothing to do with it... already determined
Not sure if Wisconsin is a Death penalty state. Either way, I hope that he gets the maximum sentence for his horrible and disturbing behavior! Just so senseless in what he did to his parents.
Forensic scientist did not explain how cleaning blood with H2O would affect luminol. That is vital. Did the family wear shoes inside the house? The luminol in front of the fireplace could be from the Swiffer he said that he used.
Not trying to be pedantic but it's H202, hydrogen peroxide not H20, water.

@@SounderMom31 that's the truth. He was a terrible witness.

Concerning the Luminol guy’s testimony…Ya know, Shanann Watts kept a basement full of storage totes that was equally immaculate.🤔
lf he really wanted 2live his own life,move away(his parents diesn't)deserve this kind of ending!!!!!
This case reminds me of another case I recently saw where a son bamboozled his parents into believing he was some sort of a religious leader and - in turn - he molested his and another man’s daughters along with this man, stating they would be their future wives. Although he didn’t kill his parents, he threatened to kill them if they didn’t follow his every order, including giving him all their money. Once they believed (or pretended to believe) his lies, they were fine, but once they decided they weren’t going to believe them, they were in serious trouble.
??? What case ???
This is the worst forensic scientist I have ever heard at a trial just explaining a bullet casing and blood ..I could go on ..wow
I think he's doing a great job
Each witness is called to testify on (sometimes small) parts of the case they have direct knowledge of. Evidentiary rules require it. Additionally the chain of custody has to be shown on each piece of evidence, and sometimes that makes for some rather dry testimony that can be rather frustrating to a jury I imagine. Each crime has what are referred to “elements” and all have to be proven. All evidence used to prove these elements must be admissible in court, therefore the necessity for all the testimony that can sometimes seem small or inconsequential. If the steps to authenticate and show chain of custody aren’t met it can be deemed inadmissible. Not admissible = not evidence. I hope this helps explain why some witnesses may seem right now to be insignificant. It all comes together in the end and the prosecution will lay it all out in closing.
This detective is an awesome witness and did an awesome job with his team on the scene investigation! That being said, Chandler disgusts me. How evil he is! I hope he realizes how ignorant he is. His lies caught up to him and he still thought he was smart enough to brutally murder his parents and get away with it. He is foul. Rest high Mr and Mrs Halderson. Gif bless Mitch, Cat and all that loved, lost and were affected by this gross piece of feces.
hm, in slide 20 which is a photo of the fireplace (where the adhesive labels in the bottom-left indicated visible staining) showing the luminol reaction, I so clearly see what looks like a handprint and I was shocked nothing was said about it 😨 it seems so clear to me. the moment that photo was shown it was unmistakable to me.
Bet Dulce is hoping(the salmon he)brought wasn't placed at the same fridge with the remains???!!!!!!!!
So the blood splatter on the safe suggests it was "placed there" at a 90° angle. I'm trying to visualize WHAT WAS AT A 90° ANGLE. Was it the gun or Bart? Was he bending over the safe when he was shot? Did Chandler force his dad to open the safe while training the rifle on him? Where did he kill Krista? From the luminol, it looks like they were both killed in the basement and carried upstairs to be dismembered by the fireplace where luminol revealed the presence of blood. One of the weapons of destruction (dismemberment) covered in blood was carried out to the garage and something sickle shaped dropped on the floor where luminol revealed the presence of blood.
The matricide, patricide, dismemberment, incineration, and discarding of his parents' remains in woods and lakes is beyond terrifying. Then, perhaps most terrifying, he gives his brother a single bullet from the same stash of bullets used to kill his parents!
HIS BROTHER IS IN DANGER!
Chandler can never see the light of day and should receive Life WITHOUT Parole.

Is it me or does it seem like there should be more blood.
Lots more blood, 2 bodies
He definitely put tarps down and then called his father down first, shot him, then repeated this when his mother arrived later. Can you imagine his father walking into this tarp covered murder room and seeing his son there pointing the rifle at him?? Then his mom, who arrives down there and sees her dead husband on a tarp and realizes she's walked into her own murder at the hand of the baby whom she birthed??? That scene is the true nightmare.
@@jacksmedullaoblongata7659 Thats exacty how he done it .
The forebsic expert said he only sprayed sections. If they would've sprayed the entire floor, it would be glowing everywhere.
He also said that hydrogen peroxide and bleach would've made it glow too.
Thankfully they tested for blood after luminol. So guaranteed that basement would've lit right up if they laid a layer of luminol everywhere.
Although if he used tarps as well, there wouldn't be too too much as you can wrap people up.
I've been a hunter and butcher for many many years and know how to contain the spread of blood and fluids.
He more than likely had the same foresight. Had to contain the mess. Especially with dismemberment.
An ungrateful son would just move away n not visit or speck 2them!!!Not decide 2kill n dismember them!!!
Why did they not test the GF car with luminal?
Because they were incompetent
Which car did he take to go to the farm/swimming? That's the car that they should test
But they said the day he hid the Torso he was spotted in the Subaru but no blood found in it?! Doesn’t add up
Afraid they’d find something
I’m thinking that wheeled bin with the tarp came in handy to keep the blood from transferring. He took the blue Subaru that had a hatchback. If the seat folds down it would fit. Maybe even if it doesn’t fold down.
Defense has nothing, massive evidence
I wonder how did he convince his friend from the army to gift him the fire arm 🤦🏻
That's what I want to know too!
...never happened.
@@johnsherman6718 listen to the Prosecutor's opening statement. He clearly states that is how Chandler obtained the rifle in the first place.
@@johnsherman6718 yes. There is testimony to this fact. They guy who gifted it was a friend he played shooting games with while the friend was stationed Germany. He came to meet Chandler when he came back to the states & there's a picture of them together in Chandler's front yard. It was during this visit that the friend gifted him the gun. Which was Chandler's "go to" weapon of choice in first person shooter games they had played together. His brother also testified to the facts surrounding his brother's love of European guns.
@@jacksmedullaoblongata7659 isn’t the SKS 7.62 either Chinese or Russian - not inherently European. Maybe he got in in Germany but it’s not a European gun
I ask my self why,why,why...I don´t find an anwser
Really?😆
I bet Chandler's notepad would cost tons of money 💰
no offense to this other guy but I want like 6 more hours of deputy leatherberry 😅❤ he is that guy that writers interview for cop character research-the ones in our movies growing up (I’m a millennial) but that dont seem to ever actually exist
How come the prosecutors didn't use the bare feet footprints with the expert that spoke about fingerprints ⁉️
1:09:26 "there were some Footwear impression of apparent Footwear impressions in blood in these this area. And you can see that in this photograph"
Anything the prosecutors didn’t use belongs to the girlfriend , and yes u r absolutely right
Find it strange,that:Chandler would accept a rifle(fr a total stranger)???!!!
This judge is so nice! I’m not used to seeing that.
I think cat wasn't involved. His explanation of why he didn't use the luminal on it sure was sketchy....
yeah lol. its probable she was NOT involved but to those of us who want some kind of unexpected drama from the case, they arent helping.
@@Healcraft who is it hurting? We wouldn't always trusting the state at this point?? Keep licking the boots bud.
@@Grexslamfist sorry? I am one of those I said those of us. I meant the doubt they are casting on cat having nothing to hide/do with it is not helping
@@Chrissy8707. she didnt help him kill them but I think she knew more than said on the stand is all
Don't understand how did a pathological liar turned murderer???He could've just admit 2it(l I ke a man)At most his father could've maybe disown him(maybe he could)make amends!lnstead of killing them!!!Something just doesn't
Why did this guy put luminol on just small portions of the basement floor between the storage bins? It seems like putting it all over the floor and on the storage bins would have shown More luminous evidence. This guy is VERY unclear, she is asking about blood patterns and he seems to just say, well this stain is complex. He is hemming and hawing! Then finally he says, well that can be a dripping pattern.
This female prosecutor is a little ornery. She’s got some ‘tude! I like it!
Many people don’t understand north/south,etc descriptions
🙋🏼
That’s me.. totally not helpful
Holy h3ll, those are quite some bullets 😳
That girlwho was talking re forensic sounds very abrupt and sloppy with no respect
Explaining a cartridge case? This is Wisconsin! Semi-Rural Wisconsin at that. Those jurors know what a cartridge case is.
I dunno. It’s a suburb of Madison. A very liberal college town. I’m sure there are people who aren’t gun owners. Though granted I think even people who aren’t gun enthusiasts know what a cartridge case. But I guess better to be thorough
One would think that(this was done)by mafias or a hit man??!?!!!!!!!!!
They don’t dismember people or leave evidence behind 😂😂
1:22:35 I think he is working on his appeal at the moment
Did the defense ask the CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATOR if his job is to "take in the scene, not necessarily analyze the scene...does that make sense?"
What is she smoking?!
What is she saying? Do you walk into the scene with your eyes closed? Does that make sense? (Along with her nasally voice 🤓)
So No vehicle's Shown No traces of Blood!!!! Huh! How did he move part's of the Bodies?😭
The million dollar question
Frozen, in plastic bags today!
Well, that bin had wheels too. And a bloody tarp inside of it. Why not just wheel the body around, whole or not? He could even get it up and down stairs and keep all blood contained, without eve mr having to lift the full weight. Just pull it around, and up one step at a time.
@@loveforeignaccents you’re probably right. I happened to just move in early 2021, and between my 2 almost grown sons and I, I was thinking about how we managed to find ways to move very heavy things out of necessity. But I can’t think of anything weighing over 100 pounds that any one of us three managed to move without help from one or more of us.
So it’s a mystery how he pulled this off without either spreading more blood during dismemberment or having at least a 2nd person to help.
In the garbage cans from the garage. One was found at the scene of his father's body, filled with biological evidence.
Hope the dogs were OK someplace
Imagine how traumatized they were/are. 😔 They were in that house witnessing much of this, and animals are highly sensitive and intuitive in ways that we are not.
Thankfully he didn't kill them too
@@shilohm6558
I remember CH saying in his interview/interrogation that he had to clean glass off one of the dogs because the dog was near the fireplace when the glass screen shattered ( allegedly "from the dog toy ball being thrown at it" ) That means that poor doggy was nearby witnessing it and had glass shatter on him 😥
@@Winter-Lake he was probably lying about that to garner sympathy from the police. I think he probably would’ve locked his dogs away during the dismemberment/burning so they wouldn’t disturb him. I don’t think we can believe anything he says.
I just hope their new owner let's them watch New Girl. 😢
I hope chandler gets some karma in prison
Life in a metal box with concrete flooring and a stainless steel toilet and sick, seems like Karma to me.
If I was a juror I would be following asleep with overstated details..Cop get to the point!!
How did the father end up in basement? Was he called down there by Chandler? Or voluntarily go down to him ?
How did he transport the bodies from the house to the woods?? What car was used? Wouldn't there be a ton of blood? In car as well?
Well, he could drain blood after killing them then place. The dismemberment made it easier to transport parts and dump in different areas as well as getting rid off evidence.....
Then he used tarp, garbage bags and duct tape to ensure he left as little as evidence as possible.....it's beyond sickening. I don't know how any normal human being could even consider this method on his own parents....
Less blood transfer if he drained their blood in the tub.
After killing his parents he dismembered both but realised he couldn’t fit /burn all body parts.
He then bought tarp and figured out what day he could go to the farm and dispose of the rest, Chandler had put his parents remains in the freezer, to keep cold enough to transport with out dripping blood everywhere. Only his mothers feet have been found , everything else was thrown into a river or burnt of his Mum.
How many times was the dad shot? And mom?
Still doesn't answer the question as how the dad ended up in basement with him.
