1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.360
A'stz just have a quick bit of
bookkeeping before we start the episode today.
2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:09.640
One note is that if you wait
till the end of the episodes in this
3
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:15.960
season, we've been featuring some bonus
footage from the jailhouse phone calls between Chandler
4
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:21.280
and Kat, and today's clip is
particularly relevant, so stick around to catch
5
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.920
that if you have a chance.
I know this season's episode releases have been
6
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.399
a little bit sporadic, but I
promise that I'm getting them out to you
7
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.679
as quickly as I'm finished editing them. I just don't want the quality to
8
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:39.359
suffer because I'm rushing, and I
can say with fairly high confidence that the
9
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:44.759
episode after this one will be out
much quicker than this one was. Another
10
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:48.719
note is you may have heard in
our past episodes that our Patreon membership was
11
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:53.960
three dollars. I've been going back
and editing that it's currently at five dollars
12
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.479
as of May twenty twenty four.
Just wanted to update you on that in
13
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:02.960
case you were confused upon visiting our
Patreon site. We have been keeping up
14
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.680
with our monthly Night Terrors on Patreon. We currently have seven of those,
15
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:12.439
which are independent bonus episodes, and
we will have an eighth one coming around
16
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:17.000
the first of next month. We'll
play a quick ad and then we'll get
17
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.760
right into the episode. If you
want to skip the ads, you can
18
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:29.359
always go to patreon dot com slash
tapes from the dark Side. Tapes from
19
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:37.200
the Dark Side contains descriptions of violence
and sexuality. Listener discretion is advised.
20
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.760
Now at this point in the investigation, the police are out there with this
21
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:52.640
woman. They're out on the farm
and she says he walked out over there.
22
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.680
And you'll hear from the detective,
Detective Brett Baverstock, who is out
23
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.680
there, and he'll tell you that
his eyes kind of shifted up and he
24
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:06.680
saw vultures. And I promise the
photos are only going to go this far
25
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.479
for right now. But the police
walked about twenty yards into the woods and
26
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:19.960
then that pile of debris under dozens
of sticks, bushes in dirt, they
27
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:25.719
found Bart Holderson. Now, when
I say they found Bart Halderson, I
28
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:40.479
need to explain that I think everyone
has a bit of a fascination with the
29
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:49.080
dark Side. I myself willways loved
the Dark Side as well. I think
30
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:58.280
it's something that everyone secretly longs form
models there was just something that wasn't natural
31
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.439
under the sticks. Did you go
check it out? Yeah? I got
32
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:23.159
as close as I had tone.
On July eighth, twenty twenty one,
33
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:29.199
the same day that police were interviewing
Chandler, they also made contact with a
34
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.840
woman named Crescent Lesai. For the
remainder of this episode, we will refer
35
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.360
to her as Cress. Cress reported
that sometime in the last week she recalled
36
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:44.879
seeing vultures circling around the woods on
her property, and she considered this strange.
37
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.400
Officers drove out to Cottage Grove,
where she lives, about a twenty
38
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.599
five minute drive south of Chandler's house, due eastside the city of Madison.
39
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:59.319
When officers arrived, they talked with
Cress and her girlfriend, Dulce Melinder.
40
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.439
Remember that Dulce as Kat's mother,
and then the police began searching the property.
41
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:09.280
Out passed the house, Chris has
a pool. It's a little hike,
42
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:14.120
so she and Dulce usually used the
riding lawnmower to drive out there in
43
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.959
the summer when they want to take
a dip, and it's just past the
44
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:24.600
pool near clearing that leads to a
tree line that police made a shocking Discovery
45
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.879
May. Shortly before noon on July
eighth, Detective Liz Allen came to my
46
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:33.000
office. She said she had just
had a phone call with the mother of
47
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:39.160
Catherine Mellender, who was the girlfriend
of Chandler Holderson, and during that phone
48
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:44.160
call, shed intended to do initially
just a phone interview which just kind of
49
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.160
get some background information, but some
things on that phone call alerted her to
50
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:53.319
believe that we needed to follow up
with a in person interview. And was
51
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:58.480
that with Dulce. That was with
Dulce, correct, and just briefly,
52
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.920
if you could describe Dulce's kind of
a emotional state during some of that interview.
53
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.279
Well, we got to the location
where we agreed to interview her,
54
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:11.360
which is she was in the middle
of some classes, just trying to improve
55
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.839
her education, and we sat in
a side little conference room, and she
56
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:23.600
was emotionally distraught. She kind of
had this look of fear and panic in
57
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:30.079
her eyes. Based upon our interviews
with them, we determined we needed to
58
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.120
get out to that farm right away
and search it. I carefully reviewed the
59
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:41.000
entirety of Dulce Melender's testimony and Ken
confirmed that she was actually never asked any
60
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:46.000
questions about this initial interview, and
it's not covered anywhere else that I could
61
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.160
find, but I did find this
clip of her talking a little bit about
62
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:59.720
Cres's farm. You were looking here
guys right, Yes, but is your
63
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.319
said yes, yes, as a
farm, it's kind of in a rural
64
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.399
area. Game. Yes, so
it's Cross's Farms your image. Yes,
65
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:17.240
Yes, we got engaged in May. Yes, and Crest lives in the
66
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:27.079
farm her, Yes, you go
off. I live part time there.
67
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:36.560
Yes, it's like a paradise.
It's peaceful, it's green, and it's
68
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:49.879
flowers that you don't see. It's
just it's just beautiful. It's probably thirty
69
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:54.759
to forty acres. A lot of
it is wooded. The house sits in
70
00:06:54.759 --> 00:07:00.720
a wooded area. There's a paved
driveway that goes up from the road and
71
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.879
it kind of turns off to where
the house is, and then if you
72
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.040
kept going straight on that, it
would turn into a gravel and then up
73
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:11.759
into the grass area would be where
like the back shed was in the pool
74
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.120
and the raspberries. And then while
I was on the way, I contacted
75
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.959
Barry Ermin from the Dane County Medical
Examiner's Office and asked him to respond with
76
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:26.560
his cadaver dog to help us do
the search. I got there and nobody
77
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.000
was there. I had expected Chris
and duel Say to meet me to beat
78
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.639
me there. I went to the
house, knocked on the door, and
79
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.240
nobody answered. And I got worried
that they went up and started searching on
80
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:44.199
their own. So I went up
there. I went up into the grass
81
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:48.040
area like you can see you have
a photo of the farm there, so
82
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:53.839
I could see whether or not anybody
was back by there. And you know,
83
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:59.000
I noticed, you know, during
my contact with Chris, you did
84
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.600
talk that she had recently seen vultures
circling over the property. And I'm going
85
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.759
to Jack, does hearsay, sure, sustained. Did you yourself at some
86
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.480
point see some birds over the woods? Yes? And what were those birds?
87
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.759
Turkey vultures? And did that raise
red flags to you? Oh?
88
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:22.000
Yeah? Why? You know,
most birds really don't have a sense of
89
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.480
smell, except for turkey vultures.
Turkey vultures. Actually, you know,
90
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.039
when the body, when a body, or an animal or a creature dies,
91
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:37.840
it starts going through some changes.
The microorganisms on there start producing different
92
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.919
gases and it emanates an odor.
Turkey vultures can smell that, and when
93
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.480
they do, they'll start circling the
area to locate where it's coming from.
94
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.159
Did you find Crests and Dulce as
you walked back there? Eventually I walked
95
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.799
up there. I didn't see them, and then Dulce or Crest came out
96
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.399
of the back sliding patio door and
met me. I asked her if she
97
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:03.080
could show me again where she had
seen Chandler back by the woods, and
98
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:09.120
we walked back up to the the
area of the shed and she showed me.
99
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.240
When you say she showed you,
did she point physically? Yes,
100
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.039
she did what we were saying here, Okay, she pointed, okay,
101
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.960
physically put her hand up and pointed. I would say that the witness just
102
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:30.919
pointed to toward the woodline, approximately
a foot below that barn, where the
103
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:37.240
barn is at that point. What
did you do? Well? My partners
104
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:41.440
hadn't arrived yet, so I asked
for Crest to go back and wait in
105
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.559
the house, and I told it
my partners would be here soon and we'd
106
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.360
start doing our search. As you
got over toward let's say that junk pile
107
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.559
before the grass gets longer there,
did you see any signs. That's a
108
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.240
card been over there? Yes,
what did you see? Well, Detective
109
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.679
Blank pointed it out first. He
pointed over and he said, well,
110
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.919
looks cars driven through the tall grass
over here. Yeah, it does.
111
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.360
So we went over there and we
saw there were two tracks of the taller
112
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.919
grass. The grass is probably about, you know, waist high. They
113
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:18.360
went back probably about to an area
where there were some white wooden boxes at
114
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.720
old bee hives that were just kind
of stored along the tree line. And
115
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.600
that's before you entered the woods.
Correct, that's before I entered the woods.
116
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:33.480
Eighty seven. What are we looking
at there? So the picture doesn't
117
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:39.399
show it as much, but there's
again you can see the vegetation in the
118
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.360
ground there, but it was very
directional as far as this area to see,
119
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:50.039
like this log, the vegetation had
been trampled down, so it's hard
120
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.919
to tell from this picture. But
there's actually a downward slope here. You
121
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.480
know, if the trees weren't here, it would be a good little sledging
122
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.639
hill for little kids. But there's
like a downward slope that goes down into
123
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:07.200
you can see like a little brush
pile down there. Okay, eighty eight
124
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.600
what are we looking at? There
more of the trample grass that goes to
125
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:16.960
this log that goes across, and
then you can see they get the green
126
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:22.360
moss on the log, but there's
areas where the green moss had been scraped
127
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:28.320
off, as if something had scraped
it off. Did you notice anything ultimately
128
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.039
beyond that log at this point,
Yeah, the pile of sticks on the
129
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:41.440
other side of the log, and
there was just something that wasn't natural under
130
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.559
the sticks. Did you go check
it out? Yeah? I got as
131
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:52.600
close as I had to eighty nine
the photo, just moving a little bit
132
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:58.039
closer, yep, and again you
see the scrapes on the log there,
133
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:03.480
just under the moss, and then
you can see the pile of sticks there,
134
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.399
and there's something underneath it. I
couldn't quite tell what it was right
135
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.679
away, so I stepped over the
log and got a little bit of a
136
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:20.240
closer look. And what did you
find? I didn't know what it was
137
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:26.879
at first. You mean by that, It's just it took me a while
138
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:35.320
to process what I was seeing,
you know. Then it was became obvious
139
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.759
that I was looking at a human
Torso, okay, so we're gonna move
140
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:46.440
a little bit closer to photograph ninety
and again we're starting to maybe be able
141
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.600
to see that what you saw that
day, Yes, under those sticks.
142
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.240
Okay, going to ninety one,
a different view of kind of looking at
143
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.240
through those sticks. Yeah, and
that this is about the view that I
144
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:11.000
had. You can see the flesh
color skin on the right and the belt
145
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:18.480
pants and a black rope attached to
it. Knows you can see the rope
146
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:24.559
coming out from the bottom of the
stickpile. We're going to go to the
147
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.600
next photo, which is ninety two, just a close up of under those
148
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:33.799
sticks. Yes. At this point, Council, I will caution and remind
149
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:39.360
the jurors that obviously, at some
point these photographs will become more explicit as
150
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:46.360
necessary for the state's case in chief, and I just remind you to observe
151
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.879
them for whatever length of time you
believe is necessary as a juror to do
152
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.159
your job. If anyone needs a
pause, we'll be happy to do that.
153
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.960
And I know Attorney Brown or other
council if they're using any of these
154
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.279
photos, will alert you every time
the photo is going to change that if
155
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.759
you have diverted your gaze, you'll
know to look back to see the next
156
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:11.799
photo, just as Judge John Hyland
did for the jury. I'm now going
157
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.879
to issue a warning for our listeners, not about anything that you'll hear,
158
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.639
although it is graphic, but about
a photograph that I've included in the show
159
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:26.440
notes, a photograph of Bart Halderson's
Torso it's in a separate link from the
160
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.159
case pictures that I usually include,
and I will advise you to click this
161
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.039
link with caution. Now. The
photo is not necessarily the most graphic thing
162
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.399
I've ever seen. In fact,
it was live streamed on Facebook and YouTube
163
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:45.480
during the trial. I don't know
whether that was on accident or on purpose.
164
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.039
And while it is explicit, I've
seen a lot of core throughout my
165
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.519
years. If you'll remember the Jesse
Washington lynching case from season two, those
166
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.840
photographs had brought me to tears.
I also grew up in the era where
167
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:05.399
we watched literal beheading videos on the
high school computers, and I don't really
168
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.200
seek that kind of content out these
days unless I have to for a case.
169
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:16.440
But this picture, in combination with
my closeness to the case, has
170
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.960
led to some quite vivid nightmares,
the dreadfield type, the one where you
171
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.879
wake up in a cold sweat.
So the pictures there if you'd like to
172
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.679
view it. I won't judge you
either way, but if you do,
173
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:35.360
decide to just understand the choice you're
making, because it's one you cannot reverse.
174
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.519
Please continue, thank you. Okay, we'll go to the next photo.
175
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:45.960
Ninety three. What are we looking
at there? That's the rope that
176
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:54.600
was attached to the body. Ninety
four that's a garbage canon. And where
177
00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:00.440
was that in relation to the torso? So in relation to so this is
178
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.039
back up closer to the top of
the hill, off to the right out
179
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:11.480
of picture would be where the beehive
boxes were, Okay, And that tarp
180
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.399
was out there around the time you
found the torso, or that that garbage
181
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.080
can. The garbage can was there, and there was the tarp was inside
182
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:22.919
of it. Now moving back obviously, number ninety six, we're back to
183
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:27.600
looking at that pile of sticks.
Correct, correct, We're looking at the
184
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:33.600
human torso underneath the pile of sticks. Was it a considerable pile of debris
185
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.879
on top of the torso if you
could describe it in any way you could
186
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:41.279
you know it wasn't natural to It
looked like it had been accumulated and placed
187
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:48.759
on top number ninety eight. What
am I looking at there? You're looking
188
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:56.519
at the torso with I believe that's
going to be the most obvious sign would
189
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:00.279
be like the right shoulder with the
arm severed off, the head missing.
190
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.160
Obviously, the torso needed to be
removed from the from the area it was
191
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.759
in and taken somewhere else. Yes, that was done by the medical examiner.
192
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:17.119
Correct. Doctors came out and helped
with that. Yes, And I'm
193
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.880
gonna go to the last exhibit one
O seven. After the torso was rolled
194
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:26.839
over, something was found underneath it. Black item. Correct, Yeah,
195
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:33.160
you could see it even when the
torso it was sticking out from underneath it.
196
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:44.000
It was a black T shirt.
You can see the many maggots that
197
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.319
were crawling around the shirt and around
the wounds on the torso. Okay,
198
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.559
judge, can we shut this off? We mentioned this at the beginning of
199
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.400
the episode, and it just so
happens that at the time that the truth
200
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:03.440
of this case was being exposed visually, it was also being exposed audibly.
201
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.400
As on the afternoon of July eighth, Chandler and Cat were taken to the
202
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:14.160
police station and held in separate interrogation
rooms. We've heard a bit of Cat's
203
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:19.200
testimony. What is her memory of
that Fourth of July weekend at Cres's farm.
204
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:29.359
So the fourth you're at your farm, my mom and you're having a
205
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.359
like with the whole family get together. We ate inside. Mom and Crass
206
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.400
were mostly inside, but they're outside
every now and then. We don't really
207
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.759
go past the wildflowers because you know, Cres gets paid for by the state
208
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.559
to like you know now, used
to pest the size protect the flowers because
209
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:52.079
then that brings in bees. We
stopped at the chicken coop so I can
210
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:56.079
take a picture with Chandler's chicken Hawkeye. So this is while you're given the
211
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.240
tour with your brother and his girlfriend. No, they kind of like their
212
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.079
own thing. The chicken coop thing
was like they were doing their thing.
213
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:07.279
Is there a barn. There's a
barn, but I didn't really venture in
214
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.440
there except to bring my brother's cooler
in there because he made us haul it
215
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:12.240
there, and I said, we're
taking your girl back. I'm not hauling
216
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:22.559
that too. The barn at all, not that I recall, But there
217
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.559
was where a point where he was
changing because he kept a swim sooner his
218
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:30.720
tallow in my car, okay,
and I changed inside, but he like
219
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:33.599
just went on the other side of
the car that's like close to the barn,
220
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.880
like you know where the gas tank
is, Like we were parked kind
221
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.839
of there, and he was on
the passenger side, so he was next
222
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:47.279
to like the barn and gas tank
area changing. And I have a video
223
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:52.880
of us by the pool at the
farm after we had dinner. I think,
224
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.160
did you make dinner at three thirty? I think we had it around
225
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:03.079
like maybe three point five. I'm
almost not happy. It was good.
226
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:15.119
She made crab salad. Yes,
on the fourth, five thirty pm.
227
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:22.759
That is Chandler cleaning the bog's up. Cool, says right there at the
228
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:27.640
top in the days I have their
each your life a lot cool. And
229
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:33.920
then we left around six point thirty
because he had to be home before eight
230
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:38.960
to feed the dogs their dinner.
When he's at your farm, mistaken was
231
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.200
he were you guys at to pull
the whole time? Or is he walking
232
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.559
around the property at all? Mm
hmmm. I mean we went on walks
233
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:49.559
together, but walking's hard for him. Sure, It's not like he could
234
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.559
run away, And I wouldn't say
him, but we were on each other
235
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.319
the whole time. What's the furtherest
you guys walk You think it's a big
236
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.319
property out here? Yeah, probably
the furthest we was so it's like pool
237
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:07.160
here, Raspberry patch where we go
Raspberry right over here is barn. Started
238
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:08.680
walking back that way, you'll pass
them all berry tree, the grapes,
239
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:12.599
get to the house on the other
side, like a little to the corner
240
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:17.440
of the house, there's like a
little shed where we have the chickens to
241
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:22.599
the barn. So not really that
far, okay, all around each other,
242
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:30.279
according to Kat. Chandler returned to
Cottage Grove the next day, this
243
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:37.160
time by himself. Chandler went to
the farm because my mom's fiance lets him
244
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.319
walk in the pool, because that's
one of the things we did Sunday,
245
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.480
because it helps stretch out his legs, make him feel better. Because I
246
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:51.400
also helped stretch his legs on Friday
because he has some like it's not tired,
247
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:55.640
numbness, that's the word. And
then from its fall. He had
248
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:59.000
a couple of weeks back on Monday, he said, he walked off by
249
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:03.039
himself, but he was going to
cry, so I'm he walked off by
250
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.680
himself little cry. Yeah, I
was upset about it if Mam Hald text
251
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:11.279
him on Sunday saying that the job
things though all the job there? Yeah,
252
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:14.279
and when did you find out about
the job of that Monday? Yes,
253
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:18.160
because it was right after's appointment,
because they like called him a chardon.
254
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:25.200
Okay, the Chandler's version of events
is a little bit different. I
255
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:29.000
try to go to the farm and
I keep spam and Cress and spam and
256
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:33.319
Cress. I kind of need someone
to talk to because freaking out about my
257
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:38.599
parts. Never picked up from Cress, so I go home. Did you
258
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:44.279
drive over to the farm or yeah? Yeah, yeah, because she wasn't
259
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:48.000
answering her phone right, So I
got close. But then I realized I
260
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:52.599
can't just show up. They'd shoot
me. I don't know when I drive
261
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:57.079
or it looked like with a hat
on they had guns over there. What
262
00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:03.559
they actually show you? No,
IM saying her dad lives there. He's
263
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:08.119
he's ninety. He got a buck
when he was ninety five or something,
264
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:12.079
so I know if he didn't know
what it was, he could have Yeah.
265
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:19.839
So he's he's old, but he
can use the gun. That's why
266
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:25.279
I wouldn't do that. Yeah.
So the cress's dad lives there too.
267
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:29.559
Yeah, who's played is it Criss
Farmer? It's her dad's he built it,
268
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:33.799
oh god. And then she lives
there. She's managing the property because
269
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:40.759
he's in the chair. Yeah,
he's old. So then it's not really
270
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:48.839
a farm and said hobby. Yeah, yeah, you know the background.
271
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.960
I think right. Yeah, Like
so, so I think it's time to
272
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.519
start talking about what happens your parents, like the truthful version. Okay,
273
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:03.440
okay, so we have like twenty
pages of writing. Let I start with
274
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:06.119
a clean white piece of paper.
If you just start telling the truth,
275
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:08.759
what because, listen, listen to
me. This is the only chance you're
276
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:12.680
going to have to tell us the
truth. Okay, Okay, what we
277
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:17.039
listen? Listen. Okay, I
can't tell you what we know. What
278
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:19.000
we know. You're not telling us
the truth. We know your parents are
279
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:23.720
no longer with us, okay,
and we know the reason why. Okay,
280
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.799
we need to tell the truth.
There's listen, listen. You need
281
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:32.079
to tell the truth about what happened, and just tell us why it happened.
282
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.720
Okay. If something happened, if
you were defending yourself, or if
283
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:38.759
you just fed up with stuff.
You need to tell us the truth.
284
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:45.680
Okay, this is your chance to
tell us why. Okay, I'll not
285
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:52.920
being essen yet. Okay, so
can we do that? Okay, they're
286
00:24:52.960 --> 00:25:04.359
okay nowhere. I'm sorry shaving and
tr with the lawyer because therapy. You
287
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:17.559
want a layer, yeah, okay, okay, yeah, that's right to
288
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:30.480
temmy. Marri's about six or four
you want you're unterested, Okay. At
289
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:34.599
this point, police knew that Chandler
was being untruthful about a number of key
290
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:40.920
facts regarding the disappearance of his parents, and he was taken into custody in
291
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:48.960
charge with providing false information on a
missing person's case. What happened? Okay,
292
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.920
you can you know what happened.
We're not gonna told you what happened.
293
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.200
You know what happened. You were
there when it happened. We're not
294
00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:03.680
b and okay I wasn't there.
We're gonna happen. We know more than
295
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:08.680
you think. We know all that
asked. There's people that have told us
296
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:14.119
things. We have. We have
evidence with group Mores had. Okay,
297
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.519
so your parents never made it to
the cabinet. I think you know that,
298
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.319
Okay, sore asking for an attorney, We're not gonna ask any more
299
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:37.200
questions as him stay at about them
over here. Yeah. It wasn't until
300
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:41.519
a week later, on July fifteenth, when they would formally charge him with
301
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:47.079
the death of his father, part
Halderson, first degree intentional homicide and one
302
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:52.880
million dollars bail. The police report
gives us a couple of key insights into
303
00:26:52.880 --> 00:27:00.519
the moments directly after Chandler Holderson's arrest. Quote, as Detective Hendrickson and Chandler
304
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:06.119
were walking towards booking, he made
an unsolicited comment that he wanted to quote
305
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:12.279
go back up and he would quote
tell me everything. Detective Hendrickson inform Chandler
306
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:17.200
he could not speak to him any
longer regarding his missing parents, as he
307
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:22.079
had invoked his right to an attorney
only minutes earlier. Chandler then asked something
308
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:25.920
to the extent of quote, what
if I want to tell you everything with
309
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:30.240
an attorney there to guide me.
Detective Hendrickson inform Chandler that would be entirely
310
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:34.559
his decision to make at a later
time, but at this point he was
311
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:40.200
not going to be questioning him any
further about his missing parents. Chandler then
312
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:45.319
proceeded to make another unsolicited comment that
he again quote wanted to tell me everything.
313
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:51.640
During the course of completing the booking
paperwork, specifically the booking sheet and
314
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.119
the medical intake questionnaire, Chandler asked
something to the effect of quote what was
315
00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:02.559
different. Detective Hendrickson's response to Handler
at that point in time was that they
316
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:07.400
had quote found something, and Chandler
became very wide eyed, similar to a
317
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:12.480
prior reaction that he had made during
the interview before invoking his attorney, and
318
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:17.039
then he made a comment to the
extent of quote, he don't know the
319
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:22.279
whole story. During the course of
completing the booking questionnaire, detective Hendrickson asked
320
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:29.279
Chandler if he was suicidal, and
his response to Detective Hendrickson's question was that
321
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:34.839
he quote didn't feel bad about what
I did. Plenty reports his observations of
322
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:38.960
Chandler while taking pictures was that he
had bruising on the backside of one of
323
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:45.119
his upper arms. The coloration appeared
to be purple and yellow. Plenty observed
324
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.960
there was bruising to the lower portion
of Chandler's legs and the knee area.
325
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:53.559
Plenty observed in both left and right
lower legs that were scratches present. He
326
00:28:53.640 --> 00:29:00.720
scratches appeared narrow and wid and looked
consistent as if someone had been walking through
327
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:07.200
barrier briar bushes, the same type
of briar bushes that were ever president in
328
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:14.599
the woods on Cress's farm at Cottage
Grove, where Chandler had hidden his father's
329
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:22.160
torso under a pile of sticks.
We'll be right back after a quick break.
330
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:30.759
Don't go anywhere. You just seemed
kind of off, like, kind
331
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:40.480
of weird, actually, Crescent Lessai, c R E S E N T
332
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:48.920
l apostrophe s Ai and miss Lasai. Do you know somebody by the name
333
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.599
of Dulce Milander? Yes? I
do. How do you know her?
334
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.960
Oh, she's my girlfriend? Okay? And does she refer to you often
335
00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:02.680
as Cress? Yes, everyone mostly
does Ken as well. And do you
336
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:07.599
know somebody by the name of Catherine
Milander? Yes? I do. How
337
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:11.200
do you know her? I know
her through Dulcie, she's her daughter,
338
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:17.319
and through Katherine, her cat.
Did you become acquainted with somebody by the
339
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:22.680
name of Chandler Halderson Yes, before
July fourth weekend? How many times approximately
340
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:27.519
had Chandler been out to your property? Oh? I couldn't say exactly.
341
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:30.319
I could give you an estimate.
Sure, an esmen is just fine,
342
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:36.039
like ten or twelve times maybe,
Okay. And did he ever come out
343
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:40.599
there prior to the July fourth weekend
by himself or was he always with somebody
344
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:42.920
else? He always was with someone
else. He'd never come out there alone
345
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:47.799
before that I'm aware of, Okay, And generally I assume that was his
346
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:53.279
girlfriend Kat. Yeah, she was
always with him. How did mister Halderson
347
00:30:53.400 --> 00:31:00.000
behave on that day? Well,
he kind of seemed a little loud,
348
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.640
not like hisself. You've described that. What do you mean by that?
349
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:17.240
He just seemed kind of off,
like kind of weird. Actually, okay,
350
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:19.039
I mean I remember asking him how
he felt, you know, because
351
00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:22.960
I just you just kind of seem
okay. You asked him how he felt.
352
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:27.160
What did do you remember how he
responded? Yeah, he just said,
353
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:32.799
oh, you know, I'm I'm
doing okay, or doing the best
354
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:37.359
that I can. And because he
had an accident, he's fell down the
355
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:40.119
stairs or something, so I thought
maybe it was because of the accident that
356
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:45.839
he was acting off. Sure was
he displaying any physical symptoms on July fourth?
357
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.079
Not that I not that I saw
no. Okay, was he wearing
358
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:52.799
a neck brace at all on July
fourth when you saw him? No?
359
00:31:55.119 --> 00:32:00.079
Did he act in any way that
he seemed like disabled? Did he have
360
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:05.039
any trouble walking or anything like that? No, I didn't notice that.
361
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:10.960
Okay, Well, shortly after he
was done eating or kids were sitting at
362
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:15.559
the table in my family room and
they had gotten up, and I was
363
00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:20.480
kind of walking towards the kitchen,
and he approached me and asked me if
364
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.839
he could have my phone number,
my personal phone number, because he wanted
365
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:28.200
to know if he could come and
use the pool. Okay, did you
366
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:30.799
give him your number? Yeah?
I gave him my cell number, and
367
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:36.039
I also gave him my landline.
We actually have a recording the voicemail that
368
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:45.000
Chandler left for Crescent Masailles, Hilander. I just got back with some pretty
369
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:51.119
terrible news, doctor, so I
was wondering if I could come by.
370
00:32:52.160 --> 00:33:00.079
I'll take at the pool hang out
on not having the most ideal day,
371
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:09.160
I suppose well called me back.
Nineteen year old eight three eight four five
372
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:22.920
four nine, Thank you right Monday
cool twenty five pm. Did you have
373
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:29.480
any interactions with Chandler on Monday July
fifth. Yes, the first interaction was
374
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:35.440
I opened up my window. I
I live in a two story and I
375
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:39.240
saw a car in my driveway and
it didn't recognize the car and someone was
376
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:44.480
standing in my driveway and it was
it was Chandler. So I opened the
377
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:49.160
window because he was kind of standing
holding his phone and I'm looking around,
378
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:52.480
and so I opened the window and
I said, I asked him if he
379
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.119
was okay, and he said yeah. And I said, oh, I
380
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:58.400
said, are you here to use
the pool? And he said yeah,
381
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:00.960
would that be all right? And
I said, yeah, sure. Were
382
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:07.119
you expecting Chandler that day? No? Okay? Do you remember about what
383
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:10.159
time he showed up to use your
pool? Just approximate if you remember it
384
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:13.639
was it was in the afternoon.
I just remember coming in. It was
385
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:15.679
really hot that day. I was
working on a project and so I came
386
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:19.360
in to get a drink of water. So it was probably mid afternoon,
387
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:23.599
is sho. I would say,
Okay, So what happened after you told
388
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:30.440
Chandler he could use the pool?
Well, he drove up, you know,
389
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:35.079
because if you come I live on
a hill and when you come to
390
00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:37.320
the driveway, it's kind of in
the middle of the hill and so you
391
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:40.400
have to drive further up the hill
to where the pool is. So he
392
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:45.599
drove up there. I was putting
a ramp so that my father and my
393
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:50.679
brother could get up and down the
deck in there on the scooter in the
394
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:54.679
wheelchairs, okay. And so when
I was working on that, he'd come
395
00:34:54.760 --> 00:35:00.320
down. Come there's a hill that
comes leads down to my house, and
396
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:07.719
he'd come walking down that hill.
And then we had a conversation. What
397
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:15.239
did you guys talk about? Well, he was telling me about his accident.
398
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:20.360
He said he was at a doctor's
appointment, and so he was talking
399
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:22.440
to me about what the doctor had
said and what was going on. Did
400
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:30.159
he tell you when that appointment had
been I don't remember, Okay, What
401
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:35.360
did he say occurred? Well,
he told me that he had like damage
402
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:38.000
and I asked him where. He
said, in this area of his head,
403
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:44.280
in the back of his head,
and he's just like said his mind
404
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:49.679
was kind of messed up and wasn't
thinking so well. I asked him,
405
00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:54.079
you know, basically, how he
was overall doing and about his job,
406
00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:58.800
because he said he was getting a
new job in Florida, And I asked
407
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:02.119
him about that was what did he
say? Well, he said that he
408
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:06.679
probably wasn't going to get the job, that some manager had told him that
409
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:09.840
it wasn't going to work out because
of his injury, that he wasn't able
410
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:15.760
to work. When I asked him, you know, would he talk to
411
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:19.239
his parents? You know, maybe
could he talk to them or you know,
412
00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:21.480
things like that, just to try
to reassure him, because he just
413
00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.920
seemed upset about this news that he
had gotten from the doctor. Sure,
414
00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:30.920
And what did he respond to that? And his responses He says, no,
415
00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:34.519
they'll just be mad, and which
seemed odd to me. Why his
416
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:38.400
parents would be upset with him that
he was hurt and couldn't work. You
417
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:44.559
know, it just seemed odd to
me. Okay, how long do you
418
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:50.800
think this conversation took place. I
don't know, maybe twenty minutes or so,
419
00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:54.639
I'm not sure. All Right,
Dulcage showed up. She'd come.
420
00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:59.119
I wasn't expecting her, but she
had come to the house and she came
421
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:02.039
through the house. We were sitting
on the deck and she came and was
422
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:05.679
like, what's going on? And
I said, oh, well, I'm
423
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:10.239
just chatting with Chandler here. And
I guess he doesn't have such good news.
424
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:14.719
And then she came out and sat
down and asked what was going on,
425
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:17.920
and then we started to kind of
go back over what him and I
426
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:22.559
had talked about, to explain to
her what was happening, what kind of
427
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:24.760
happened next in the event. So, well, then he went to go
428
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:29.960
use the pool, because before he'd
come down and I'd asked him, you
429
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.480
know, how was the pool.
He didn't answer, and so he went
430
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.840
said he was going to go back
to use the pool. And then Delcia
431
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.760
and I continued to talk because we
just felt something was a little odd,
432
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:45.400
you know, so we were concerned, and her and I'd had a conversation
433
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:50.199
about him of what was going on, and then what happened after that,
434
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:52.239
well, I kind of got irritated. It was so hot, and I
435
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:57.000
wanted to go swimming, and I
was waiting for him to be done using
436
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:00.920
the pool so I could go jump
in the pool. So I said,
437
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:04.239
look, I'm going to go get
in the pool. I'm done. You
438
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:07.320
know, I'm hot and I'm tired, and I want to go cool off.
439
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:10.199
And she said okay, So she
went to go get her suit and
440
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:15.199
then her and I, I have
this little riding lawn more And so we
441
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:17.320
got on the riding lawn mower to
go up to tell them, Hey,
442
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:22.760
we're going to go swimming now.
And when we got up there, he
443
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:25.519
wasn't in the pool and the cover
was still on the pool. And okay,
444
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:30.039
so hold on the pool has a
cover? Yeah, I have like
445
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.960
a like a solar heats up.
It helps get the water warm, so
446
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:37.559
it just lays flat on the top. Sure, so it's got a little
447
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:40.000
bubble. And obviously you have to
remove said cover to get into the pool.
448
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:43.679
Yeah, there's times I got lazy
where I could fold it over just
449
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:45.280
to get in, but I usually
like to take it off so I could
450
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:47.920
have the hose. Was it folded
over so somebody could get in it?
451
00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:54.000
All? No? All right,
So the covers on the pool is Chandler
452
00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:59.000
in sight when you're over by the
pool. No. And then I when
453
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:02.199
I looked to my r when we
came up the hill, I had the
454
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:08.360
doors open in the shed and I
could see through the shed that his car
455
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:15.119
was parked on the other side of
the shed. We were like, what's
456
00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:19.480
he doing? You know, what
is going on? So we drove over
457
00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:22.639
to see if he was in the
back of the car. Was he sleeping,
458
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:24.920
what was he what was he doing? Was he smoking weed or something?
459
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:30.920
We didn't know. So we drove
over there and with the mower and
460
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:35.039
approached and I drove to the back
of the car because the back end was
461
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:40.039
backed towards me. And we looked
in there and there wasn't anything in the
462
00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:45.079
car that we could see. Do
you see Chandler anywhere on your prom Because
463
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:47.320
then we stopped and we're like,
what the heck, We're looking around,
464
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:51.280
what's he doing? Where is he? And you know, Dulce was kind
465
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:54.239
of upset at that moment because she's
thinking maybe he's doing drugs or something.
466
00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:58.760
She was really upset, thinking he's
doing drugs or something. What the hell's
467
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:00.639
he doing? But I don't know, but I'm done. I'm going to
468
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:05.039
get in the pool. I just
was hot and irritated and just didn't want
469
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:07.639
to deal with it. And so
we left and drove and parked them over
470
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:13.320
by the pool. So you're in
the pool. When is the next time
471
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:17.719
you see Chandler, I'd say,
Arroyd approximately in this area. He was
472
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:24.039
walking this way towards us, thumbing
for us. I thought maybe he was
473
00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:29.599
going to the bar, but then
he was as far that thumbing forwards us.
474
00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:36.440
Yeah, he came up to the
pool and I said, Hey,
475
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:39.679
Chandler, I don't have my I
don't have a shirt on because I go
476
00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:43.400
shirtless in my pool. That's kind
of why I was waiting for him to
477
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:45.599
leave, because I wanted to have
the privacy to get in my pool.
478
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:47.559
And he said, well, if
it would be all right, I'd like
479
00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:52.000
to get in a pool. I'm
kind of sticky and I'm hot. And
480
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:55.360
I remember looking at Dulci because I
want to be respectful, and I said,
481
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:58.840
well, I don't have a problem
with it, Dulci, if you
482
00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:02.360
don't just kind of was shrugged,
and you know, I kind of could
483
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:05.920
tell she didn't really like it,
but she just kind of turned and was
484
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:13.079
sort of like whatever he he asked, is he he wants to is he
485
00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:16.239
can get in the book with us? And what? Did? What did
486
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:30.039
you say? I was like,
I I was like no, no,
487
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:47.719
but I say it myself, no, okay, why because Chris didn't have
488
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:57.920
close on the top. She didn't
have a top of Okay, did chamder
489
00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:00.800
what happened next to did Chandler go
away? Did he get in the pool.
490
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:07.920
What happened he got in the pool? What did Chandler do once he
491
00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:16.840
got in the pool. He was
just he was looking he was looking to
492
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:24.760
the horizon, okay, and he
was was he in the water? Yes?
493
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:28.440
How was he What was he doing
in the water physically? Was he
494
00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:32.159
moving around? Was he swimming?
He was like going on the water and
495
00:42:32.679 --> 00:42:37.480
you know, put it on water
on his body and you know, so
496
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:39.320
you're making those motions on your arm. And this is one of those weird
497
00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:43.599
things because we have to type down
everything that's happening. How would you describe
498
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:46.239
what he was doing when when you
put your hands on your arms like he
499
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:50.960
was, you know, put it
on water, you know, when you
500
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:57.519
put the water and so staring off
kind of through that field toward the horizon.
501
00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:06.679
And yes, because Chris, Chris
is behind me, and I put
502
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:15.119
my body to kind of shield her, and but Chandler was looking to the
503
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:20.159
horizon and then he turned around and
then he was getting in the more on
504
00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:27.360
the water and you know, he
was like on the water, like was
505
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:37.639
he saying anything? Not much?
Okay? And was he actively swimming or
506
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:42.000
no? He just kind of dipped
up and down and kind of was like
507
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:46.159
washing, you know, like himself
off. He said it was kind of
508
00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:51.960
scratchy on his walk, and he's
itchy and sticky, so he was just
509
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:55.760
kind of like, okay, kind
of washing himself, renting himself off.
510
00:43:55.880 --> 00:44:01.480
Yeah, And then it was odd
because he just seemed really different when he
511
00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:07.800
got in the pool from when he
was talking to us before. Different how
512
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:15.519
well, he seemed more lucid,
like you just seem more present. Don
513
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:20.599
Dulcie was starting to ask him questions
because I think she was concerned maybe he
514
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:25.880
was doing some drugs and I think
she just wanted to sort of see if
515
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:31.360
he was, so she started asking
him questions and things like that to see
516
00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:35.800
how he would respond. Because while
he was gone and we were in the
517
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:37.880
pool, that's what she spoke to
me mostly about, is what's going on
518
00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:42.079
with him. I'm worried. I
don't know why he's acting this way.
519
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:46.280
What's he doing? And he admitted
that was one of the questions. She
520
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:49.719
says, if you're doing drugs,
Channel, I'm telling you right now,
521
00:44:50.320 --> 00:44:52.039
that's a deal breaker. And if
you ever come and he said, I
522
00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:57.719
will never ever bring drugs to the
house or I don't do drugs. How
523
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:04.320
long was Chandler in the pool.
Oh maybe maybe fifteen minutes dish roughly,
524
00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:07.119
all right. So he got up
first, he was study. It was
525
00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:12.679
in a hurry. He had to
go that Catherine was getting dinner or something,
526
00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:15.400
and so he was like on a
mission and had to like, let's
527
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:22.039
go and and then he got out
and went to the car drove off.
528
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:24.920
Okay, and his car that he
went to was over there by the oil
529
00:45:25.039 --> 00:45:36.800
tank near the woodline. Right,
this is a section of the mode grass
530
00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:39.840
butting up against that prairie to the
south of the barn. Did you see
531
00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:46.639
an oil drum in that photograph?
Yes? How about you described as it
532
00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:52.119
at one o nine. There was
a cut, did you see? They're
533
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:58.960
an odd shaped cut on the north
side of that oil drum, and inside
534
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:05.599
were some items and one shows some
of those items inside. Yes, a
535
00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:10.360
saw blade, a scissors, and
a smaller saw with like a chroma,
536
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:16.880
a metal handle, and the bolt
cutters, right, And that's for sure.
537
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:22.440
Yes. And it just so happened
that my armspan was long enough that
538
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.400
I could reach them because they were
deep inside the oil drum. So just
539
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:30.960
using regular night trial evidence gloves,
I reached and I was able to pull
540
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:37.480
them out one at a time,
without touching areas that looked like they had
541
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:45.199
stains. We laid them out on
paper, and then CSI Leatherburry collected them
542
00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:58.960
in whatever packaging he used. If
you recall, during Chandler's interview, he
543
00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:04.920
lies to police and tells them that
he never actually visited Kres's farm on Monday,
544
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:07.760
July fifth. He said he wanted
to, but because he couldn't get
545
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:13.320
in touch with Kress, he ultimately
decided it would be too risky to show
546
00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:17.920
up at their farm unannounced. This
raised a question that I've spent quite a
547
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:23.400
bit of time pondering. Why would
Chandler lie about this? I tried to
548
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:30.880
consider all the possibilities. Is there
any chance that Chandler visited Kres and Dulce
549
00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:36.159
that day, confessed to murdering his
parents, and ask them for help with
550
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:40.480
hiding the body. There are a
number of reasons that this doesn't add up.
551
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:46.360
Dulce seems more empathetic to Chandler than
Kres, and even if there was
552
00:47:46.400 --> 00:47:52.119
a small possibility dulcey went along with
this, which I don't think she did.
553
00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:59.239
I cannot imagine any scenario in which
Kress would have agreed to hide a
554
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:05.199
body on her farm for Chandler let
alone do it in such a careless way,
555
00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:08.639
hiding it under a pile of sticks, Which brings us back to the
556
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:15.039
question yet again, why would Chandler
lie to police about this and say he
557
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:20.280
was never there? If Cres and
Dulce and even Kat could testify that he
558
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:24.440
was there on Monday? What was
the motive? What was the logic?
559
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:32.039
And then I remembered something, This
is Chandler Holderson, a compulsive liar.
560
00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:37.000
There really didn't need to be much
thought behind the consequences of the lie.
561
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:42.880
If the lie would serve him,
then he told it. It didn't matter
562
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:47.079
if someone could easily disprove it.
All that mattered in that moment was that
563
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:53.280
the lie benefited him. Chandler's emo
was concoct a story first and deal with
564
00:48:53.320 --> 00:49:00.320
the consequences later. Perhaps some kind
of twisted coping mechanism that he formed at
565
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:05.760
an early age. Will probably never
know the exact reason, And for many
566
00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:09.760
years he was able to navigate life
this way. Make a mistake, tell
567
00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:16.000
a lie, get caught, tell
another lie, get caught again. Well,
568
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:21.480
I think you get the point.
It was lies all the way down
569
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:25.679
and in the process, good people
like Cat and her mother Dulcet, which
570
00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:30.320
is collateral damage. I've said before, and I think it's worth repeating.
571
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:37.559
The evidence shows that no one,
not Andrew Smith, not Catherine Melender,
572
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:44.679
not Dulcet, not Cress, no
one helped Chandler commit this crime. He
573
00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:50.360
acted only with self regard, and
he acted alone. Anyone who give him
574
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:54.599
the benefit of the doubt, perhaps
because they were naive or perhaps because they
575
00:49:54.639 --> 00:50:00.239
wanted to believe in the goodness of
people, were crushed under the way eight
576
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:05.800
Chandler's lies. He had so little
regard for those who loved him that he
577
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:09.440
was willing to dump the desecrated torso
of his dead father on their farm,
578
00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:15.480
either in a half baked ploy to
intentionally implicate them or simply out of a
579
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:22.719
complete lack of consideration. And not
only that, but then he joined them
580
00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:27.800
in their own pool for a swim, where he shamelessly washed the residue of
581
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:31.760
his crimes into the communal water in
front of their very eyes, all the
582
00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:39.480
while playing the poor, helpless victim. But finally, on July eighth,
583
00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:45.239
twenty twenty one, perhaps for the
first time in his life, Chandler's lies
584
00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:51.280
hit a brick wall, and the
consequences were flying towards him with an immediacy
585
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:54.880
that could not be ignored. His
scharade of a life was about to be
586
00:50:54.960 --> 00:51:00.599
exposed, not only to those closest
to him, to the entire world.
587
00:51:01.719 --> 00:51:07.559
And if you can't believe it,
the depths of his degeneracy have yet to
588
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:50.719
be revealed. As I'm recording this
episode, it's actually May fifteenth of twenty
589
00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:54.239
twenty four, which is my birthday. And so if I could ask you
590
00:51:54.519 --> 00:52:00.119
for a birthday present, it would
be to consider joining our Patreon. You
591
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:04.440
don't even have to do it,
just consider it. We have a couple
592
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:08.440
of membership tiers you can cancel any

593
00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:13.960
personally. If you come for one
month and leave, sign up as easy,
594
00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:17.960

slash Tapes from the dark Side.
What you'll get in return is our Premium
596
00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:29.679

00:52:52.679 --> 00:52:55.960

hit the jackpot, you'll join Patreon later.
606
00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:21.679
The last thing I'll say is that
we're an independent podcast, meaning we
607
00:53:21.719 --> 00:53:27.440
don't have any sponsors. We don't
have anyone dictating what material I can or
608
00:53:27.599 --> 00:53:31.159
can't cover, which is a big
part of why I think people enjoy this
609
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:37.000
podcast and why I enjoy making it. So if you enjoy this show,
610
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:49.719

Siders for a while, so we have

grateful for you guys. Someone joins,

01:05:41.800 --> 01:05:48.559

that you know that you were taking Catherine
704
01:05:48.599 --> 01:05:55.960
to Florida, but I understood that
my kids have to fly. You know,
705

yeah, that Catherine was my baby. It's my baby, attorney is
706
01:06:01.679 --> 01:06:09.960

do you that you were part of
our life, that you will come to
711
01:06:39.400 --> 01:06:46.679
stay. Yeah, I appreciate that
you welcome. I thought, and I
712
01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:50.400
you know, I said that,
you know, when I get my house,
713
01:06:51.039 --> 01:06:57.800
you will help me, you know, to do that that the solar
714
01:06:57.960 --> 01:07:01.960
panels, and so I still plan
on doing that. I'm trying to,
715
01:07:02.320 --> 01:07:08.920
like, you know, invent something
with solar panels, like you know something,
716
01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:18.320
so you know, like I don't
know. Yeah, there's a house
717
01:07:18.360 --> 01:07:28.199
in Mexico. You know, I
don't know how things are. But I
718
01:07:28.280 --> 01:07:39.159
wanted to know that this is very
difficult for me, very difficult. Yeah,
719
01:07:39.320 --> 01:07:51.360
me too, And I just I
don't want to believe anything because I
720
01:07:51.760 --> 01:07:58.119
feel like I love you, but
no, I feel not like I think
721
01:07:58.639 --> 01:08:01.239
I do love you, chance like
like I said, like my son,
722
01:08:03.440 --> 01:08:09.719
and I'm very worry, I'm urious, stress, and I'm very worry about
723
01:08:09.800 --> 01:08:16.039
everything. Well, I appreciate you're
worrying about me and caring for me.
724
01:08:17.800 --> 01:08:21.880
I know. Yeah, the news
has made it sound very bad, but
725
01:08:25.560 --> 01:08:31.680
just talking to my lawyers and everything, it's not. It's much different than
726
01:08:31.720 --> 01:08:36.640
the news. The news has putting
a very bad spin on everything. I
727
01:08:36.680 --> 01:08:45.800
know. But hope you know that
I just don't I don't know what happened,
728
01:08:45.399 --> 01:08:51.159
and I don't need everybody's has for
their own reasons. Uh. I
729
01:08:51.199 --> 01:08:57.640
definitely can't talk about the case over
the phone right right, but I wanted
730
01:08:57.680 --> 01:09:02.600
to tell you that I everybody have
their own things, you know, and
731
01:09:02.680 --> 01:09:11.319
my thing is that I care about
my daughter very very much, and I
732
01:09:11.399 --> 01:09:17.039
care about you and the times that
you were here and the times that I
733
01:09:17.119 --> 01:09:28.239
make Christmas and the times that you
you know that you smile and like that.
734
01:09:28.720 --> 01:09:34.239
Like like I say, I can't
say anything better about about this boy
735
01:09:35.159 --> 01:09:41.439
because he you don't. I just
can't say anything. I appreciate it.
736
01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:45.920
Yeah, that's that's patter. That
one of the good things I've got going
737
01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:56.760
for me. I haven't caused too
much trouble. Well, did you take
738
01:09:56.800 --> 01:10:01.039
care of yourself and I was taking
care of my Captaine. I appreciate it.
