BREAKING: The remains found in the town of Roxbury are identified as Krista Halderson. Her son Chandler Halderson will now face another first-degree homicide charge in her death. He’s already facing charges for the death of his father.

Savanna Tomei
@SavannaTomei

Additional charges are being recommended against Bart & Krista’s son. So he will likely be facing six total counts: -1st degree homicide (x2) -mutilating a corpse (x2) -hiding a corpse (x2)

@SavannaTomei

Other remains were found in the home. It sounds like it will be a lengthy process for investigators (in crime scene units, scientists) to determine whose they are.

@SavannaTomei

Still no word on a potential motive.

@SavannaTomei

As of right now, authorities do not have any other suspects or people of interest. However, they’re also not ruling out that possibility. If you know anything about the case that could help investigators, you can leave a tip: 608-284-6900

@SavannaTomei

Searches are continuing in the pond behind the Haldersons’ Windsor home. Property searches have been “exhaustive”

Savanna Tomei
@SavannaTomei

About 40 investigators are working on the case, and that’s not counting “peripheral” help from other employees

Savanna Tomei
@SavannaTomei

Sheriff Barrett couldn’t tell us when the Haldersons were killed, whether they were killed at the same time, etc.

Savanna Tomei
@SavannaTomei

Now a content warning, this is very gruesome, and very sad: Authorities say Halderson dismembered his parents. As they start the very long process of identifying those “additional” remains found in the home, these remains are likely other parts of Bart and Krista.

Three search warrants unsealed in Halderson couple’s homicide case (nbc15.com)
Three search warrants totaling 64 pages in the Halderson homicide case were unsealed late Tuesday.

[...]

Two search warrants requested information from the company that owns Cash App, a mobile payment service, and cell phone records.

[...]

... According to these search warrants, Chandler did not use traditional banking methods and used Venmo, another mobile payment service, to purchase a tarp and ice on July 1.

The tarp purchased was similar to the tarp found with Bart’s remains, according to a Dane County detective.

The warrant was issued for Cash App records because detectives said there may be more purchases made that are “likely associated with his parents’ disappearance, death, and disposal.”

The third warrant allowed detectives to get a DNA sample as well as photos of any injuries from Chandler.

... His next hearing is on Nov. 16. He is currently scheduled for a jury trial in January.

Nelson: [#ChandlerHalderson] told me that he wanted to report that his parents were missing ... He seemed quiet, what I would describe as maybe lethargic. It seemed like he was maybe tired as he was describing the fact that he hadn't seen his parents since the previous week.

Shunk: Chandler told me much of the same as what we've already heard. His parents had gone missing after reportedly going to their cabin. Chandler said he had helped them pack on the evening of July 1. #ChandlerHalderson

Something of note that will likely come up often in this trial: Shunk confirms a pane of glass is broken in the Halderson family fireplace. Brown also touched on this during the prosecution's opening statements. #ChandlerHalderson

Prosecutors claim Chandler Halderson killed parents after lies about college were exposed
MADISON, Wis. — Prosecutors in the Chandler Halderson trial claimed during opening statements Tuesday that the 23-year-old killed his parents after a web of lies about college and work were possibly exposed.

Dane Co. Assistant District Attorney William Brown said he will seek to prove that Chandler Halderson had consistently lied to his parents about getting a degree and work when they had pressed him about earning money and paying rent.

“The evidence in this case, you’ll find, is overwhelming,” Brown said. “Chandler Halderson killed his parents on July 1, 2021. He cut up their bodies with axes and saws and knives, and he didn’t even give them the dignity of having a funeral or even a final resting place in one piece or together.”
