"Worried" Son Has No Idea Police Just Found His Dad

He called the detective to ask why police cars were outside his house. Half an hour earlier, they had found his dad. The real police interrogation of Chandler Halderson, the deputies' bodycam at the empty cabin, and his recorded call to a detective. In today's true crime documentary we follow the 2021 Chandler Halderson case in Windsor, Wisconsin: the fake college, the fake job, the SpaceX offer that never existed, and the father who finally called Madison College himself. Then a text from his mother's phone about a parade on the wrong day, a farm in Cottage Grove, and a Snapchat pin on the banks of the Wisconsin River. Real interrogation footage, police interviews, bodycam and the trial. When did you realize the cabin story was a lie? Tell us in the comments. Subscribe for new true crime cases every week.
