Chandler Halderson believed he could deceive his way out of being a suspect in the murders of his parents. However as investigators asked increasingly pointed questions, his lies became increasingly more absurd. What sense can we make out of absurdity?

Reviewing the case of Chandler Halderson, watching his police interrogation regarding his missing parents, and discussing covert narcissism.

Does Lucy Letby have a "split personality"? If so, what is she splitting off and why? I discuss BPD and its 4 archetypes as identified by Dr. Christine Lawson.

The primary purpose of this video is to undermine any high-paid defense experts who try to make the case that touch DNA resulting as "unknown" clears any suspects.
