1
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:09.599
Tapes from the Dark Side contains descriptions of violence and sexuality.

2
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.679
Listener discretion is advised.

3
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:24.399
Before we jump into the conclusion of the trial, the verdict,

4
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:28.120
and the sentencing. I first want us to at least

5
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.719
try to get down to some causes and conditions. Is

6
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.560
there anything we've missed so far that might give us

7
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.079
some semblance of an explanation for why Chandler did what

8
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:45.200
he did. We know Chandler's life was a haphazardly constructed lie,

9
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.920
a house of cards. But why had he built this

10
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.119
house of cards? There are, of course, the obvious answers, reputation,

11
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.240
gaining and maintaining the respect of his family and friends,

12
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:02.240
and of course his partners. Many of the lies Chandler

13
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.719
told were to playcate Cat, the fake SpaceX job, the

14
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.000
fake insurance company job, the fake education, the fake volunteer

15
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.879
job as a scuba diver, and the fake head injury.

16
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.719
There was also Chandler's philandering, which led to him turning

17
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:25.159
on his location settings and Snapchat, which in part led

18
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.799
to him being caught. So we have reputation. Then there's

19
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.959
the issue of money. It's another obvious one. Chandler lied

20
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.120
about school and work, in part to steal from his parents.

21
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.599
He took money from them that was likely supposed to

22
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.799
be going to tuition, tuition that was never paid. Remember

23
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.000
that Chandler had an outstanding balance of money that he

24
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.280
owed Madison Area Technical College. And then there was the

25
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.120
tuition money that Chandler stole that was never owed the

26
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.719
college for the handful of semesters where he wasn't even

27
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:05.120
in rolled ATMATC. There was also one other big payday

28
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:09.719
we haven't really discussed, and that's Bart and Christa's life

29
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.879
insurance policy. We have reason to believe that Chandler at

30
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.639
least had some working knowledge that his parents had a

31
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.439
life insurance policy that would pay out one million dollars

32
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:26.240
in the event of their untimely deaths. So perhaps Chandler

33
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.240
thoughts killing his parents would be a way to earn

34
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.560
a quick half a million dollar pay day and a

35
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:37.319
free house. So that's the obvious. But I want to

36
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.599
propose a theory that hasn't been examined yet by anyone

37
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.800
else who has covered this case. I believe Chandler was

38
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.879
addicted to video games, specifically the game we discussed in

39
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.919
an earlier episode, Escape from Tarkoff. In an earlier episode,

40
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.800
I said that Smitty and Chaz met in Escape from

41
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.800
Time Tarkoff, which was actually a mistake. They met in

42
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.840
the game Arma III, which is similar to Tarkov. They're

43
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:11.280
both part of a genre known as hyper realistic military shooters.

44
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.800
The Escape from Tarkov game is where Smitty learned of

45
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.039
Chandler's affection for the SKS rifle. Remember that's the same

46
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.680
rifle Smitty gave to Chandler, the rifle Chandler used to

47
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.439
kill his parents. Okay, but let's back up for a second.

48
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.080
You might be someone who has little to no experience

49
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.360
playing video games, and even if you do have experience

50
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.280
playing games, you might be skeptical that a person could

51
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.479
become addicted to a video game. And I want to say,

52
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.800
I completely understand your doubt. I'd have hard time believing

53
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.479
it myself if I hadn't experienced it firsthand. I have

54
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:59.240
a very real addiction to sports video games, particularly online multiplayer.

55
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.680
I know it sounds silly, maybe even pathetic, and I

56
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.639
guess it kind of is. Let's say, for example, I

57
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.759
boot up my PS five right now, log into the

58
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.960
EA Sports servers. I could easily log the next twenty

59
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:19.360
hours straight playing some type of online competitive MLB or

60
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.199
NFL game, And I'm pretty confident that I could do

61
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.279
that for the next five to ten consecutive days, or

62
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:30.000
until my brain started to melt. There's nothing that I

63
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.600
can think of in my life that I'd like to

64
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:37.879
do for that many hours, except well, maybe drugs. Chandler

65
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.360
wasn't playing any kind of sports game that we know of,

66
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:46.000
but he was playing online multiplayer. And the same reason

67
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.120
that some people describe these games as boring or repetitive

68
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:54.720
is almost the exact reason why other people get addicted

69
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.519
to them. In online multiplayer games, the gameplay never ends.

70
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:06.040
Rewards in the form of rare items, supply, a constant

71
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:10.759
dopamine rush, and winning. Man, I think I've always been

72
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.600
addicted to winning in one form or another. Make no mistake,

73
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:19.600
these kinds of online massive multiplayer type games are not

74
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.720
your grandpa's video game. This is not Pong, this is

75
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:28.360
not Space Invaders, this is not Tetris, although Tetris is

76
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.600
pretty fun. These games are built from the ground up

77
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:36.000
specifically to keep you playing. They usually charge some type

78
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.120
of monthly subscription, although it should be noted Escape from

79
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.439
Tarkov does not have a monthly subscription, so one time fee,

80
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:51.600
but they also sell DLC, which is downloadable content expansion packs. Basically,

81
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.480
the longer they keep you playing and the more committed

82
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.199
to the game, the more money they make. I want

83
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:03.240
to compare Tarkov to another game, perhaps the most popular

84
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:07.079
online shooter in recent modern history, a game that if

85
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.759
you haven't played, you've at least heard of, Fortnite. Now.

86
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.920
I've actually never played Fortnite. In knowing my tendencies, I'd

87
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.680
prefer to keep it that way. On the surface, it

88
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.399
looks like quite a different game from the one Chandler

89
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:25.480
was playing. Escape from Tarkov is hyper realistic, and Fortnite,

90
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.360
which is also a first person shooter, has a more

91
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.680
cartoonish appearance, targeting a younger audience. But they have a

92
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:37.399
lot of crossover elements. They're both Battle Royale online PvP,

93
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.399
which means player versus player. They have similar looting mechanics,

94
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.439
time pressure, customizable loadouts, and each match is somewhat high stakes.

95
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.920
All this keeps the adrenaline rushing, keeps you wanting to

96
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:56.120
play just one more match. That just one more feeling

97
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:01.360
is part of what makes online games notorious for their addictiveness.

98
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:07.040
Examples of this potential addictiveness began popping up when Fortnite

99
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:11.839
peaked back in twenty seventeen twenty eighteen, and believe it

100
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:16.879
or not, Fortnite, a video game aimed at probably pre

101
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:22.600
teens or teenagers, began affecting grown professional men in the

102
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.240
United States in Major League Baseball, which I guess that

103
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.439
makes sense. It's a group of young men in their twenties,

104
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.360
another prime target for any type of online game. But

105
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:38.600
in twenty eighteen, the Philadelphia Phillies first baseman allegedly took

106
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.079
a baseball bat to a television in the Phillies clubhouse

107
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:48.319
because his teammates were playing Fortnite during the baseball games. Quote.

108
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.399
I see a couple players I don't want to say names.

109
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:54.959
They play video games during the game. We come and

110
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.040
lose too many games, and I feel like they weren't

111
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.680
worried about it. They weren't respecting their teammates coaches.

112
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.920
Also, during the twenty eighteen season, the Boston Red Sox

113
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:10.199
banned Fortnite from their clubhouse, which perhaps that did work

114
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.879
because they went on to win a World Series that year.

115
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.720
So now let's briefly discuss the addictiveness of Escape from Tarkov,

116
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.879
a game in a similar genre which averages half a

117
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.759
million active daily players. I found a few entries on

118
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.079
various Escape from Tarkov forums that I want to read

119
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.320
to you, but first I do want to acknowledge something.

120
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:38.320
There's a difference between a real bonafide addiction and perhaps

121
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:42.519
just overdoing it. There's that habit to indulge in something

122
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:46.399
and describe it as crack, like, oh, these are crack

123
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:52.159
cookies or crack lasagna. But in a true addiction, the

124
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.159
addict loses the power to say no. They want to stop,

125
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.000
but literally can't. This can show up as setting down

126
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.799
time limits or spending limits for themselves. Say I will

127
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:09.360
spend thirty minutes tonight and zero dollars playing XYZ video game,

128
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.159
and then four to six hours later and perhaps a

129
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:17.519
number of DLC content down the drain, you're wondering, how

130
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.320
the hell did this happen? Again, the mind does this

131
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.600
particular mental twist to convince the addict that they made

132
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:30.720
the decision to overindulge, which is the insidious part that's unmanageability.

133
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.279
Most true addicts, whether it's alcohol, drugs, video games, whatever

134
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:38.279
the behavior is, find they have to give it up

135
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:42.559
for good, because once they start, they truly cannot stop.

136
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.960
I could talk about addiction for quite a while, but

137
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.519
I won't bore you with that. We should move on

138
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.039
with the story. But I hope you can appreciate a

139
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.879
little bit better at the difference between a true addiction

140
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.879
and a small habit. The habit I can stop or

141
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.679
moderate if the behavior gets out of control. I might

142
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.759
be from time to time, but it doesn't take over

143
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:06.720
my life. Now here's an example of what I think

144
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:11.480
true addiction sounds like. To the Tarkoff forums.

145
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.960
No joke. I'm scared by the amount of time I've

146
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.039
been spending on this game. Lately, all my free time

147
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.000
is playing Tarkoff. I haven't even tried to play anything

148
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.720
else in six months. I just don't feel like it

149
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.200
seems like it would be boring, although if you think

150
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.159
about it, Tarkov is pretty boring and monotonous in its

151
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:32.080
gameplay basically most of the time. I'm frustrated with this game,

152
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:34.159
but I still want to spend all my free time

153
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.600
on it. It scares me. And when I've tried to

154
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:39.519
play something new, I haven't lasted for more than an hour.

155
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.759
So I've owned Tarkov for twenty three days now and

156
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:47.000
have clocked in two hundred hours. I might have a problem.

157
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.159
It's been a long long time since I played a

158
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:52.279
game this fun. Even with all the errors and all

159
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:55.559
things the game has going on, I can't stop playing.

160
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:57.399
Can anyone else relate?

161
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:02.120
I've done cocaine constantly, trying to kick the nicotine addiction

162
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:07.120
in nothing, I mean nothing has been disaddicting or worse

163
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.360
for my mental health. Does it ever get better? Does

164
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:14.480
the constant red and excitement ever fade?

165
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.759
I want to go back to my conversation with Andrew

166
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:22.679
Smith now, when I talked to Andrew Smitty about Chandler's

167
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:27.240
potential Tarkoff addiction, To my surprise, my little theory was

168
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.639
not shared by him. And being Chandler's best friend, someone

169
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.519
who knew him better than most, certainly better than me,

170
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:37.960
I do think it's important we take his perspective into account.

171
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.080
It's kind of like a friend of a friend's situation

172
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:41.399
and we just got really close.

173
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:46.759
Okay, gotcha? Did when did you guys start playing Tarkov together?

174
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.080
Was it just you go back and forth between the

175
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:50.200
two a lot.

176
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:54.320
Yeah, so I've got it like a genuine question for you.

177
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:57.080
Is there like a is there a real hang up

178
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.480
on Tarkoff? Or is there like is there something I'm

179
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:00.000
not picking up?

180
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.399
Well, okay, so here's my angle is.

181
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:12.080
We're gonna play Smitty's reaction to my theory that Chandler

182
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.600
was a video game addict right after a quick break.

183
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:19.919
This time, we're not going to play programmatic ads for

184
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.240
the first time on the show. I'm gonna do a

185
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.840
host red ad for an app called Moomo, just like

186
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:30.919
the sound the cow makes, moo moo. The reason I'm

187
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.080
comfortable promoting this app is because I use it myself.

188
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.279
If I have a couple extra dollars, I invest in

189
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:44.000
secure ETFs and until April first, Momo is offering all

190
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:48.600
new users up to fifteen free stocks. I took advantage

191
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.879
of this offer, and I can promise you that it works.

192
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.519
You'll also get eight point one apy on any cash

193
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.039
that you keep in the account, and if you use

194
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:02.039
my link or my promo code to sign up, I'll

195
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.240
get one hundred dollars. That's right. If you've never had

196
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:08.279
a Mumo account, you can sign up, get free stocks,

197
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:12.759
and support your favorite podcast. My invite code is eight

198
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.120
digits long, So I'm not going to read it out here.

199
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.240
I'm gonna put it in the show notes. I'm also

200
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.440
going to put the link in the show notes. So

201
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:21.759
what you want to do is download the app and

202
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:25.120
then click my link so that we both get rewarded.

203
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.440
Thank you guys so much. You help the show by

204
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.120
doing this, and now let's get back to the show.

205
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:43.399
Well, okay, so here's my angle is I'm just wondering,

206
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.039
I mean, like everybody else, right, like, why the fuck

207
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:46.519
you did it?

208
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:47.600
Right?

209
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:50.240
Just in fucking sense, like sure you are dead, Like

210
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.320
I have debt. I'm like, it's so much debt, and

211
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.200
I don't fucking go out murdering people. Like that's not

212
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.320
the fucking proper answer. God, damn it, you know what

213
00:13:58.399 --> 00:13:58.679
I mean?

214
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:03.480
Yeah, exactly, And well, actually I just learned this. I

215
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:06.919
thought maybe there was some kind of abusive thing, but

216
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.639
apparently people who kill their parents, Uh, what's it called paracide?

217
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.320
It's actually pretty rare that there's physical abuse going on.

218
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.200
It's like it happens, it's like ten percent of cases,

219
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:25.440
but usually it's about finances or control. The one thing

220
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:27.200
I came back to I might have sent it to

221
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:32.639
you was that his search history. In between hiding the bodies,

222
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:35.080
he was searching how to complete quests in.

223
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:40.080
Tarco like so fucking bizar. I'm just like, yeah, do

224
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:43.799
you go from oh, let's go do this shit? Hey?

225
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:44.879
How do I saw this question?

226
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:45.000
Right?

227
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:45.440
Quickly?

228
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:45.919
Bro?

229
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.240
You can't even do whatever you're trying to do right

230
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:49.039
now correctly?

231
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:49.639
Right?

232
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.799
So I don't know that that was like the one

233
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.919
thing that stood out to me. And I was reading

234
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.360
more about how some people say Tarkoff can be really

235
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:04.639
addictive as far as just compulsively playing it for like

236
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.759
twenty or thirty hours straight sometimes.

237
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.840
See, that's something I've never heard before. But then again,

238
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.360
I'm not a hardcore tarkaof player. I don't get into

239
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.080
games like that where it's Tarkov's a game where you're

240
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.039
supposed to go out, you kill people, you steal all

241
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.519
of their shit, you xpell, and then you drop all

242
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:25.000
of their shit off in your crib, and then you

243
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.960
go back and repeat it again. Just keep trying to

244
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:31.279
your best over and over again, killing people in vice versas.

245
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.799
That's all Tarkov is, right, right.

246
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.039
Like an extraction shooter or something.

247
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.879
So yeah, something other like that gotcha.

248
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:43.679
So you never got that vibe though. You never were like, man,

249
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:45.440
Chaz is addicted to this game.

250
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:50.240
You never got that No, Okay, we would play like

251
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.840
all sorts of shit. Well shit, I want to all

252
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:56.559
right now that I have like memories come in. Yeah,

253
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.320
I like sitting here thinking about it, like, yeah, I

254
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.360
did play the fuck out of Tarkov, but not super aggressively,

255
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:04.000
you know, like I still had a job, like I

256
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:06.320
have a son in well my ex wife, now you

257
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:06.799
know what I mean?

258
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:12.080
Right right, I gotcham So he might have been playing more.

259
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:17.639
But but even so, you never really got that suspicion

260
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.000
or nothing really made you think, right, I.

261
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.720
Didn't have that idea that he was just sitting here

262
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.080
fucking off all day playing video games. He seemed like

263
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.720
he was actually like had a genuine job.

264
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:32.440
Right right, So is that possible in retrospect though since

265
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:36.799
he didn't he wasn't in school and he wasn't working,

266
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:37.720
that he was just.

267
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:38.679
Playing video games?

268
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:40.039
Yeah? Probably.

269
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.120
Did you have any suspicions that he was on drugs

270
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:50.440
or besides just like smoking weed or drinking or I.

271
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:52.360
Don't know if I told you, but my friend had

272
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.399
a different friend of ours had told me that Chaz

273
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:00.080
had been potentially drugged with ketamine at one point.

274
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.600
Another college, and you did mention that, Yeah, tell me

275
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:06.799
about what you heard about that, just.

276
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:08.599
That it fucked him up. And I didn't talk to

277
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:10.039
him for like a couple of weeks, and then he

278
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.319
magically popped back up. I was like, oh, hey, how

279
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:16.799
you doing, buddy? Like so, I wonder if he was

280
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:20.359
doing okay and he was just dealing with human shit

281
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:22.880
the way normal humans deal with shit, to deal with shit.

282
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.799
And I wonder if when someone fucking drugged in with ketamine,

283
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:31.759
assuming that's not a fucking lie, you know what I mean, right, Like,

284
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.519
what the hell did that do to a psyche? Yeah,

285
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:36.599
that's the only reason why I fuck with mushrooms and

286
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.880
like weed, because at least the mushrooms will fucking help

287
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:41.079
my TBI a little bit.

288
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:43.720
Did he smoke a lot of weed that you know of?

289
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:45.920
I actually don't know.

290
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.799
Did you guys ever smoke together when you saw him?

291
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:50.400
Or no?

292
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:52.279
That was something I had planned to do with him

293
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:54.440
if he was actually innocent on all this shit.

294
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:58.240
Oh yeah, damn.

295
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.359
So, Like when it first went down, you probably had

296
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.359
that thought this can't be true for a while.

297
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:08.319
Or all right, I just kind of sat there. I

298
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.160
was just thinking, h and a sense of proven guilty,

299
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:13.680
trying to keep positive by on it. Please s fuck

300
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:15.559
with people all the time for no reason. This shit

301
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:17.160
could be another one of those, you know.

302
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.240
I believe that Chandler has proven to be such an

303
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:25.519
unreliable narrator that it's impossible for us to know whether

304
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:29.880
he was actually ever drugged with ketamine or like his fall,

305
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.119
is it just another fabrication? To put it simply, anything

306
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:36.960
that comes out of Chandler's mouth has to be assumed

307
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.319
to be a potential lie, and unless it's verified by

308
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:43.200
a third party, I think it's best to set it aside.

309
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:47.000
Is it possible that Chandler was drugged with ketamine and

310
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:51.000
that this somehow affected his mental state? Sure that is

311
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:54.160
a possibility, But is there any way to prove that

312
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:55.759
this is true currently?

313
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:56.279
No?

314
00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.960
So how do we take the rest of this conversation

315
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.559
with Smitty and his reaction to the idea that Chandler

316
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.559
could have possibly been addicted to video games? First, I

317
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:09.839
want to say the whole reason that we're giving so

318
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:13.160
much weight to the conversation is because I do respect

319
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.839
Smitty's opinion. I might still disagree with him, though, and

320
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:20.440
I'll explain why first. I think Smitty's judgment can be

321
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:23.680
a little bit off sometimes. I experienced this when he

322
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:27.039
told me he thinks Kat was somehow involved in the crime.

323
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.400
He didn't just tell me this, but he shared this

324
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.720
view in depth on another podcast he was on. Now,

325
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:36.480
it's not just my opinion that I think Smitty is

326
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:40.079
wrong about Kat, but it's just what the evidence shows.

327
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:43.000
We already reviewed that in depth, so I'm not going

328
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:45.759
to rehash at all, but I'll add if you're even

329
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:49.640
still a little bit skeptical. During the trial, the prosecution

330
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:54.240
screened doorbell camera footage from a neighbor that showed every

331
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:58.960
time Catherine Melender's car entered or left the neighborhood, and

332
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:02.720
this footage matt her statement to police to a te

333
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.079
she never snuck back into the Holderson neighborhood to help

334
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.960
Chandler murder his parents. She never transported them to any

335
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:13.319
of the dumb sites. We just know this to be fact.

336
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:17.000
One more note about Smitty. I took the decision to

337
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:20.880
air his words on the podcast pretty seriously, but it

338
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:24.319
seems to be an opinion he holds strongly as He's

339
00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:28.640
repeated it now multiple times, and so I think I

340
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.000
have to give people the right to be wrong, and

341
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.119
I have to admit maybe I don't know everything, maybe

342
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:39.200
there's something I'm missing. I think it's a borderline irresponsible

343
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:43.000
to have that opinion. But Smitty is an adult. He

344
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.000
is allowed to have his opinions, and it's clear he's

345
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.519
made his mind up that somehow Kat was involved. Still,

346
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:53.160
i'd ask you not to judge Smitty too harshly. Remember,

347
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.000
Chandler Holderson was his best friend. I imagine it might

348
00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:59.880
be hard for me to think rationally about this situation,

349
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.400
and I can't say for sure what I would do

350
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:06.720
or say if I was in his shoes. For Andrew

351
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.519
Smith's interview, I'm going to release that in full on Patreon.

352
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.720
There's not too much that we haven't covered yet, but

353
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:15.960
we did talk for a good part of an hour.

354
00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:19.359
If you're not interested in Patreon, it's not like you're

355
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.960
missing anything crucial to the story. Okay, So here's why

356
00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:27.640
I would like to propose that Chandler not only had

357
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:32.640
an obsession with first person military shooters, but an actual addiction. First,

358
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:37.039
let's count the number of times Chandler mentions gaming or

359
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.119
playing video games in his interviews with Police.

360
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:41.920
Would you do for editor in the day?

361
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:45.559
I kind of shipped the day play video games.

362
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.400
It was a little hard to hear, but Chandler said Friday,

363
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:50.799
he shipped the day away playing video games.

364
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:53.319
Wednesday back to Wednesday. Yes, I got all the glass

365
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:56.519
out of the dog's hair. I went back to doing

366
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.599
like a job search, kind of just sh my day

367
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:06.519
away is okay? Games YouTube? Maybe, so there we are. Thursday,

368
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:10.079
went to my computer, played a video game called Tarkoff

369
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:14.720
until midnight, well after midnight, maybe even kind of lose.

370
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:15.240
Track of time.

371
00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:20.440
So one night I gamed alone all night or all

372
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:24.400
day and night pretty much, and I just kind of game.

373
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:26.480
I couldn't tell you when I went to bed. I

374
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:29.839
think I might have even stayed up till two. Yeah,

375
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:32.960
it's just the same game, Escape from Tarkoff. I couldn't

376
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.880
get a hold of any of my friends to play with, unfortunately,

377
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:38.400
and I'm going to stick around for that late in

378
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:42.079
the night. Then it's Monday morning. Cat goes to work.

379
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:46.759
I go back and forth through some video games. Then

380
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:50.960
we're on Tuesday, Cats working up and I'm gaming.

381
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:54.839
And now for a piece of evidence that I've been

382
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:58.480
waiting to show you a series of Google searches made

383
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:03.440
by Chandler Holdersonly eighth, twenty twenty one on his phone.

384
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:06.960
Does it surprise you to learn Chandler didn't attempt to

385
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:10.640
use an anonymous browser. If it does, then you haven't

386
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:15.160
been paying attention. At nine twenty am, he watches a

387
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:19.759
YouTube video about escape from Tarkoff. Nine minutes later, at

388
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:24.400
nine to twenty nine am, he watches another video about

389
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:28.799
escape from Tarkoff. Fifteen minutes later, he makes a number

390
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:33.160
of Google searches, starting with a three word search body

391
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:38.119
found Wisconsin. Then he searches woman's body found in Wisconsin,

392
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:43.480
then Wisconsin dismembered body found. Then he clicks a couple

393
00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:48.240
links to a court case State versus Peterkopusa.

394
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:50.319
I'm gonna draw your attention to one of the searches

395
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:52.319
or one of the links, which is the State versus

396
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.079
Peter Capusa. Did you, in fact go and find what

397
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:57.599
that was that link that was clicked on?

398
00:23:57.880 --> 00:23:58.279
I did.

399
00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:01.599
It was the court key involving a man who was

400
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:07.240
accused of murdering and dismembering a female relative of his

401
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:12.240
and the way he dealt with the remains.

402
00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:17.000
Okay, This is legal decisions many pages long. However, I

403
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.000
would ask the witness, if it's okay with you, judge,

404
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:22.599
to read simply the first paragraphs, starting with the description

405
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:25.119
of the judge who wrote the decision.

406
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.559
Peter Capusa was convicted of first degree intentional homicide and

407
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.920
hiding a corpse with intent to conceal a crime. The

408
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.000
prosecutor presented evidence that Capusa killed his cousin, cut up

409
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:40.839
her body, and disposed of the parts in the Wisconsin River.

410
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.519
It appears that Chandler then takes a break from googling,

411
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.720
perhaps to play a little more Tarkov. A few hours later,

412
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.839
at twelve forty one pm, he searches something about an

413
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:02.480
item in Tarkov, and he searches the Tarkov Wikipedia, and

414
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:05.920
then a few hours later, a little after three pm,

415
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:11.960
he searches Bart and Christa. This evidence was discussed at

416
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:15.640
length in court, the part about his searching for his parents,

417
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:19.920
not the part about escape from Tarkov. Consider for a moment,

418
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:23.680
the state has really no reason to bring up that

419
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:27.480
Chandler possibly had a video game addiction. It does nothing

420
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:31.359
for their purpose of proving whether or not Chandler murdered

421
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:35.680
his parents. But on this podcast, we're interested in the why,

422
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:40.039
and I think these searches are very telling. Let's go

423
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:44.680
for a moment to that video that Chandler watched right

424
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:50.119
before he made the mistake of searching on an unanonymous browser,

425
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:54.400
before police knew his parents were dead. Body found Wisconsin.

426
00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:57.480
Hey, everybody, one pig here, and we did it. We

427
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:00.559
got Max's rep fence. But I'm going to do in

428
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:02.720
this video it's a twenty minute basetimer now becomes some

429
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:04.240
like one and a half hours.

430
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:04.440
Now.

431
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:06.799
Of course, you can go have the ability to ask

432
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:09.279
another SCAV to come with you. That is done by

433
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:11.680
pressing why why to open up.

434
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:18.160
The Max rep fence. Scavs base timers, emote menus. This

435
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:21.920
dude might as well have been speaking another language, because

436
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:25.480
I have no idea what he's talking about. I watched

437
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:30.319
numerous times all the YouTube videos that were in Chandler's

438
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.759
search history, and because I know almost nothing about the

439
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.680
game Escape from Tarkov, there was really nothing I gained

440
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.559
from this. Now there was someone who did have one

441
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:46.559
of these moments of realization, and that's another documentarian who

442
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:50.000
covered this case. And I've actually chattered with them. They

443
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:54.039
wanted to know what I gleaned from talking with Andrew Smith.

444
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:58.200
Now this person runs a YouTube channel called Veritas. Their

445
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:02.119
documentary on the Chandler Holeson's story is one of the

446
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:06.160
better ones I've watched. It's called The Escape from Tarkoff Murders.

447
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:09.599
I'm not sure that myself and Veritas share the same

448
00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:12.799
theory about the video game addiction, but we both believe

449
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:16.079
that this game played a crucial part in the murders.

450
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:20.599
And what Veritas realized is that in the video that

451
00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:24.319
Chandler was watching right before he decided to make those

452
00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:28.400
Google searches, the person in the video was playing with

453
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:32.240
a character who was using an SKAS rifle, the same

454
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:36.079
rifle Chandler had used to kill his parents, and Veritas

455
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:42.240
proposes that perhaps seeing the sks rifle triggered the memory

456
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:43.640
of killing his parents.

457
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:47.480
Immediately after watching that video, a video made by one Peg,

458
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:50.920
one of my great content creator friends from the Tarkoff community,

459
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:55.359
Chandler stopped playing video games, he stopped googling EFT tutorials,

460
00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:59.319
he stopped watching YouTube videos, and decided to google. Body

461
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:02.519
found was constant, along with the rest of the disturbing

462
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:05.279
grizzly searches we covered in the intro of this video.

463
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:09.279
But why what was it about this video that changed

464
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:12.200
Chandler's focus that morning. I have a hunch that when

465
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:14.960
he watched this video, the video where the character in

466
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.759
his favorite game was carrying his favorite gun, the SKS,

467
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:21.720
the same gun that weeks earlier he had been gifted

468
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:24.359
in real life by his best friend, the very same

469
00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:27.839
gun that just days earlier he used to kill both

470
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:31.240
of his parents. That now he couldn't take his mind

471
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:34.440
off of his situation anymore, and he let his paranoia

472
00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:35.599
get the best of him.

473
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:38.279
I want to run you through the rest of that day.

474
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:43.039
July eighth, twenty twenty one, That fateful day that Chandler

475
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:47.839
was making these non anonymous browser searches, turns out to

476
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:51.079
be the same day that Chandler has taken into custody.

477
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:55.440
In between playing video games and researching video games and

478
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:59.839
searching for news stories about his parents, Chandler was in

479
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:03.359
eternally panicking, and that's when he began going door to

480
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:08.200
door to his neighbors. He realized that they had doorbell footage,

481
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:11.920
and he was very nervous that perhaps they had caught

482
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.599
something on this doorbell footage.

483
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:15.440
Right.

484
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:19.400
My name is Chandler Holderson. I lived just down the road.

485
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:27.039
Oh yeah, thought of the police the fancy security system.

486
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.000
I was wondering if you were able to capture the

487
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:30.880
road or.

488
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:35.200
The police actually came in and downloaded everything they have.

489
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.359
But it's actually my sister's house over.

490
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:39.440
Yeah, so they.

491
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:42.920
Were here thanks for like nine o'clock last night and

492
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:44.960
downloaded all the videos she got.

493
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:47.960
So we're hoping that they didn't capture anything.

494
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:49.039
We don't know.

495
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:49.960
We don't know.

496
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:52.519
They just took a copy of everything, and I was

497
00:29:52.640 --> 00:30:00.440
so unhoping. Runs yeah, and it's ALHD And then I

498
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:01.599
think there's one.

499
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:05.519
Before with dark has a little bit of night vision.

500
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:09.200
Yeah, and there's one on the h this corner of.

501
00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:10.119
The garage too.

502
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:17.480
I thought that was quite those that direction. But I

503
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:20.920
want to revisit a part of an episode that I

504
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:23.400
promised we'd come back to. I like to think I

505
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.000
don't break my promises, and I'm not going to break

506
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:29.599
this one, because we're going to hear this conversation that

507
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:34.880
this neighbor secretly recorded. Remember this neighbor was a former cop,

508
00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:37.839
and when Chandler wanted to talk to him, he just

509
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:40.839
had a gut feeling that this should be something he

510
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:45.480
should record. You'll hear that conversation on the next episode

511
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:49.599
of Tapes from the Dark Side. I'm not going to

512
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:52.279
read any credits this week, just going to put a

I don't know whoever dreamed this up or decide to

527
00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:57.880
put this concept out, but they're a sick individual.
