Evidence Presented In Chandler Halderson Trial

Prosecutors entered their second week of laying out their case against Chandler Halderson in the 23-year-old’s trial for allegedly killing and dismembering his parents, Bart and Krista Halderson. Yesterday, prosecutors began to lay out some of the physical pieces of evidence investigators found during their search of the Halderson home and the farm in Cottage Grove where the remains of Bart Halderson were found. That included showing the jury the actual saw blades and scissors found in an oil drum near where Bart Halderson’s remains were found, as well as shoes with apparent blood stains on them found in the Halderson home. Also found hidden inside a pair of shoes in the garage of the Halderson home: a foil-wrapped package, which contained two cell phones and the Wisconsin state drivers licenses of Bart and Krista Halderson. Chandler Halderson had told authorities that he received a text message from Krista during 4th of July weekend, saying she and Bart had reached the family’s cabin in Langlade County safely and they were planning on going to a 4th of July parade. Authorities later determined that nobody had been at the Haldersons’ cabin that weekend. Prosecutors have not yet indicated where they think the text message from Krista’s phone was sent from.
