A Wisconsin man stands trial for allegedly murdering and dismembering his parents without remorse, and providing false information on their disappearances. Chandler Michael Halderson, 23, faces charges including first-degree intentional homicide. Remains from his father Bart Halderson, 50, and mother Krista Halderson, 53, were found days apart, authorities said.

Defendant Halderson reported his parents missing July 7th, claiming they left their home in the Village of Windsor days before on the 1st. He told WISC-TV at the time that they were going to the village of White Lake, Wisconsin.

“My last message I got from them, they were going to White Lake for the Fourth of July,” he told “There are some festivities that go around there. Better drink prices at the bars. Stuff like that.”

He said that to his knowledge, they were then going to their cabin in Langlade County.

“Along the way, they could’ve stopped many places,” he said. “I wouldn’t know all of them.”

He was allegedly just feeding everyone lies.

Bart’s torso was found in rural Dane County, while remains from Krista were found in Sauk County and property run by the Department of Natural Resources, according to court documents obtained by The Wisconsin State Journal.

Their son had been searching Google for terms like “Body found Wisconsin,” “Woman’s body found in Wisconsin,” “Wisconsin dismembered body found,” and “Dead body found in Wisconsin,” authorities said. Investigators suggested Chandler Halderson used to a visit to property belonging to the partner of his girlfriend’s mother as cover to hide his father’s torso nearby. He had shot Bart Halderson at least once before dismembering him, officials said.

According to investigators, Halderson said after his arrest that “you don’t know the whole story,” and that he “didn’t feel bad about what I did.”

Excellent prosecutor! Not because he presented all the obvious evidence, but also his opening and closing statements were epic. Give that man a raise! 👍

[TheMundusvultdecipi]

"I'm done with law school, I do this for a living, I operate in a world of common sense and not fantasy..." William Brown is a very gifted speaker. His opening statement was brilliant, he presented such an enthralling narrative and a very conclusive summary.

[VictoriaCatLady]

When he speaks about Chandler's lies being all he had, being a shell of a person...wow! He lays it out perfectly with expert delivery. It's a pleasure to watch this man.

[christophermartin]

Getting 2 life sentences for his 24th birthday:
priceless.

RIP Bart & Krista Halderson

“Why were these lies important? They were important because it’s all he had.”

“Stand up and tell the truth, own up to your lies.. or like a coward, shoot your father in the back.”

Dang!! I love the way he’s going after him.👏🏻

[rosetyler]

Very talented prosecutor. Not that he needs to be, but dang, this guy is a GREAT storyteller/case builder. 😍

[victoriousangel]

I love the way this prosecutor tells his story. I could listen to him all day. A man full of wisdom… so profound he stood up for the dead parents….the both hands that nurtured him from a baby. R.I.P Krista & Bart.

[jerrycoleman]

Kudos to this attorney!! He is the best I've seen! Solid! Logical! Straight Forward!! Total Package! Wisconsin is Lucky to have him!

[maryannanderson]

I love this prosecutor. I could listen to him for HOURS! His opening statement was a little over an hour long and when he finished, I went, "Aww. Is he through? I wanted to hear more!" He is such a good orator.

[Hunnie_B]

Thank you District Attorney William Brown, we will now have justice for Bart and Krista 😔

[hummingbirdess]

This prosecutor is excellent. Not long winded, facts, facts, facts. I usually can’t listen to attorneys opening or closing statements but this guy…keeps you engaged, tells the story without boring you. Definitely going places. Remember his name!

[stevenkarras]

That was a brilliant closing argument. I’ll bet Mr Brown’s folks are very proud of him!

[Nurturing]

This Dude is AWESOME!!! PERFECT opening and rebuttal!!! Thank you and the ENTIRE team for doing right by Krista & Bart!!! Sending everyone love, light, & healing!!! God bless each of you for your service! ✨🙏✨😇

[robgeenumberone]

I don't know if Mr. Brown checks out the comments about his trials once the verdicts have been stated but Kudos to you sir! Throughout this trial you were clear, concise, no-nonsense and masterful both in your opening and your rebuttal at closing. Excellent work!

[myselfasevan]

this almost seems like a tv show with how good this prosecutor is

[kurly]

Once again, this prosecutor rocked! He is always at ease and on point with everything he says. He is an amazing attorney.

[vinr]

I think the jury had a harder time deciding what to have for lunch than finding Chazzledazzle guilty on all counts.

[kaygoldsmith]

This prosecutor gave both a profound opening and closing rebuttal. Unlike the defense, he didn't need to constantly refer to his notes. He described the events in an "easy to follow" manner and I could listen to him all day. The defense's opening was terrible because she did not provide any substantial theory to create a sense of "doubt" for the jury to ponder. Her comments about the prosecutor "telling a story" and what she learned in law school were insults to the legal profession as a whole.

[kimbutler]

I’ve been watching / following true crime murder trials for decades, the opening and closing prosecution’s statements are two of the best I’ve ever seen/ heard . Admittedly the prosecution had a plethora of incriminating evidence, but man the prosecution team did the work . This prosecutor is On It Blue Bonnet . Kudos

[keris]

Made me cry when he said this was the ultimate betrayal. He killed the people who held him as a baby and comforted him when he hurt himself. I looked at my little boy.... 😭😭😭😭😭
