Chandler Halderson, a 23-year-old from Windsor, Wisconsin, was convicted in January 2022 for murdering his parents, Bart and Krista Halderson.

He had built an elaborate web of lies, falsely claiming to attend Madison College, work for an insurance company, and have a job offer from SpaceX.

In reality, he had flunked out of college, was unemployed, and spent his days playing video games.

On July 1, 2021, after Bart discovered the truth and scheduled a meeting to confirm Chandler’s academic status, Chandler shot him.

Later that day, he killed Krista when she returned home. To cover up the murders, he d*smembered their bodies and scattered the remains in various locations.

Chandler’s lies fell apart when he reported his parents missing, prompting an investigation that revealed the truth.

He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
