Unemployed Son's Dependence and Deception

Chandler Halderson, the former University of Wisconsin student, relied heavily on his parents, Bart and Krista, for financial support. However, a lie about his academic status ultimately led to their tragic murders.

Charges and Convictions

Not Guilty Plea

In September 2021, Halderson pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, dismemberment, and hiding the bodies of his parents. The trial commenced in December 2022.

Vacated Convictions

In August 2023, the judge vacated two of Halderson's convictions due to a potential legal issue. The prosecution announced plans to retry him on those charges.
