In November of 2023, I put out an open call to interview anyone who had any relation to the Halderson case. At first the lines were quiet. Then I made contact with a man who goes by the name "Wallace." He claimed to have been bunkmates with Chandler back in county jail. I verified this man's identity and, surely enough, his claim checks out. Here is our nearly two hour long conversation. Correspon...

On the night of Saturday, July 2, Cathryn Mellender arrived at the Halderson family home for a sleepover with her boyfriend, Chandler. Unbeknownst to Cat, she'd be sleeping just feet away from the dismembered bodies of Bart and Krista...hidden beneath her in a cooler on ice. Meanwhile, Chandler frantically tried to devise a plan to dispose of their remains. Episode images: https://imgbox.com/g/cAi...

Date : July 1, 2021 Location : The Halderson's basement Bart and Krista's lifeless bodies are sprawled across the cold cement floor. Various blood soaked tools are strewn about the room.

Chandler is bent over his father's half naked body, hacksaw in hand, as he begins the slow and methodica...

A jailhouse phone call. An interesting phenomena in its own right. The prison industrial complex in the USA generates an estimated 1.3 billions per year. In March of 2020, when the Dane County Jail stopped all in-person visitations due to the rapid spread of the Covid-19 virus they implemented a policy in which every inmate was allotted two 15-minute phone calls per day. No matter if it's free or...

Bart and Krista Halderson went missing in July of 2021. Their bodies were found dismembered, decapitated, and strewn throughout rural Wisconsin. The last person to see them alive was their son, Chandler, and he quickly became the lead suspect in a criminal case. But what could possibly lead a person to murder their own parents? This is "The Haldersons" presented by Tapes from the Darkside .
