- 18:53we are going to be sending uh two
- 18:56members of the Sheriff's Office up to
- 18:58assist with the search um I didn't want

- 19:07was that call recorded it was not okay
- 19:11um did something happen between the

- 19:26farm um in the in Cottage Grove um near
- 19:30a wooded area uh I also had just
- 19:33received prior to the third call
- 19:35information that uh torso was located in
- 19:38the area that Chandler helders was last
- 19:40seen uh in in your mind and in the
- 19:43course of the investigation is that the
- 19:44point where this became a homicide
- 19:46investigation for you versus a missing
- 19:47person's investigation yes um so the
- 19:50third so July 8th of 2021 was a very
- 19:54busy day if you didn't see day two

- 20:56see you know of his house obviously
- 20:58because he was being super suspicious
- 21:00and then later that night on July 8th
- 21:02later in the afternoon he was arrested
- 21:04and he was initially charged with uh
- 21:07reporting false information during a
- 21:09missing person's investigation and when
- 21:11they confirmed that the remains belong
- 21:13to Bart halderson then they charged him
- 21:16with first-degree murder but they had
- 21:18not yet found Christa alderson's remains
- 21:20and so because of his girlfriend at the
- 21:22time cat melinder sharing a Snapchat
- 21:25screenshot that she took with the police
- 21:27saying well he was out at this area we
- 21:28likeed to go swimming um at a weird hour
- 21:31so they went to go and search that area
- 21:33and they found Christa alderson's legs
- 21:35on July 14th of 2021 and so he was
- 21:38charged with two counts of first-degree
- 21:39murder two counts of mutilating a corpse
- 21:41two counts of hiding a corpse and then
- 21:43of course the initial two counts of
- 21:45falsifying you know information in a
- 21:47missing person's investigation so yeah
- 21:48things escalated very quickly on July
- 21:518th of 2021 call when was that that one
- 21:55was uh approximately 3:30 p.m. okay
- 21:59and uh was that call recorded that one

- 22:03recorded and the prior to not um at that
- 22:06point uh Chandler had called me um we
- 22:11found a torso in the location where he
- 22:13was observed uh it appeared to be a a
- 22:15male torso at that time um Chandler
- 22:19moved from a person of interest to a a
- 22:21suspect at that point sure um the
- 22:24deputies that you had sent up to

- 22:42now had a active crime scene okay so
- 22:45when we watched The Lang Lake County
- 22:46video and they talked about Dane County
- 22:47turning around that
- 22:49was the impetus was you and in that

- 28:46Chandler thank you
- 28:51bye your incident has been
- 28:56updated your
- 28:58has updated couple of questions uh solve
- 29:01one thing right away this issue with the
- 29:02mail what was that about uh Chandler
- 29:05told me that he received a ticket in the
- 29:08mailbox that um the mail was being held
- 29:13sure and did you later learn that that
- 29:14actually was true I did yeah law
- 29:17enforcement does not have the ability to
- 29:19hold somebody's mail um so I didn't know
- 29:21exactly what was going on there uh
- 29:23throughout the investigation we did
- 29:25learn that the Windsor post office um
- 29:28had heard of the you know the missing
- 29:30people Barton Christa helders and put a
- 29:33hold on the mail for them at that point
- 29:35that had nothing to do with you guys it
- 29:37had nothing to do with us okay um there
- 29:40were parts of that conversation where Mr
- 29:41halderson asked about um increased
- 29:44police presence or whether something new
- 29:46had happened in the case at that point
- 29:47something new had happened in the case
- 29:49right correct um why why did you not
- 29:51tell him that and why did you answer the
- 29:53questions in the way you
- 29:54did so at that point uh keep in mind we
- 29:57had had just received the information
- 30:00that a torso was located in the area
- 30:02that Chandler was at at the farm um so
- 30:05in the command post we're trying to
- 30:08arrange a lot of different things A
- 30:10lot's going on we're trying to you know
- 30:12control that crime scene out there we're
- 30:14trying to get our crime scene
- 30:15investigators back to the area um I'm
- 30:18trying to get detectives out in the area
- 30:20of the Oak Springs home
- 30:22um I was trying to ask Chandler who was
- 30:25at the house because I'm trying to
- 30:26determine you know first if he's home
- 30:29where he's at um like I said he was a
- 30:32suspect at this point so I just wanted
- 30:33to find out where he was who he is with
- 30:37um I didn't want to tip him off you know
- 30:40that I had other areas or other officers
- 30:42converging into the
- 30:45area okay what was the plan at that
- 30:48point following that call with Chandler
- 30:51uh at you said about 3:30 correct and
- 30:54approximately how long before that had
- 30:55you received the Torso news it was
- 30:58approximately a half hour prior so
- 30:59you're 30 minutes in into knowing it's a
- 31:01homicide investigation what plan do you
- 31:03come up with in the command post at that
- 31:05point so we had already uh like I said
- 31:08called our crime scene unit back to
- 31:10respond to the farm um we had several
- 31:14deputies and detectives in the area of
- 31:16the Oak Springs address doing canvasing
- 31:19we're contacting neighbors we're talking
- 31:20to friends
- 31:23um you know a lot was going on in that
- 31:25neighborhood so there was an increased
- 31:27police presence obviously uh throughout
- 31:30the investigation um at that point a few
- 31:34phone calls were made just to have uh
- 31:36detectives and deputies more so in the
- 31:40area
- 31:41um and then uh you know basically I was
- 31:45trying to arrange for uh Chandler to
- 31:48come downtown to the public safety
- 31:51building where I was located uh so we
- 31:53could perform a an interview sure and uh
- 31:57was there anyone else really wanted to
- 31:58interview that day uh we wanted to
- 32:00interview cat also okay cat
- 32:03melander how was that accomplished uh
- 32:05what happened so we had some detectives
- 32:09um and also a deputy assist uh make
- 32:12contact with Chandler and and Cat uh
- 32:16they
- 32:17consensually basically they were told
- 32:19that detectives wanted to talk to them
- 32:21downtown and uh they consented to that
- 32:25okay were they driven downtown or did
- 32:27they drive themselves
- 32:28they were driven in squad cars correct
- 32:31and um were they in the same squad car
- 32:34or separate squad cars they were in
- 32:36separate okay when they got down here uh
- 32:39were they taken to the same room or were
- 32:41they together for any length of time yes
- 32:43when they arrived here um when the
- 32:45squads pulled in uh to the location uh
- 32:48they were able to talk they were right
- 32:50next to each other they were escorted up
- 32:53up the elevators to our interview area
- 32:56uh which is in an office area of the
- 32:58building sure to show you it's been
- 33:00marked this case exhibits number
- 33:06119 the interview with Chandler was that
- 33:08audio and video recorded yes it was and
- 33:10you've seen a copy of that in
- 33:11preparation for trial definitely 19
- 33:14appeared to be a USB of that video yes
- 33:16move 119 and 118 for the court record uh
- 33:19into evidence any no objection it is
- 33:23received move to publish you may publish
- 33:26um well I'm getting ready to do that
- 33:28um interview rooms they have cameras in
- 33:31them correct um how many cameras usually
- 33:35uh there's typically two cameras okay
- 33:38and when cat and Chandler were brought
- 33:39into these interview rooms were they
- 33:41kind of were they walked down together
- 33:42were they walked down separately how did
- 33:43that work yeah so they would have came
- 33:45up the elevator uh together in the
- 33:48presence of law enforcement uh you would
- 33:51walk out into a hallway um Catherine cat
- 33:55would have went down the hallway to the
- 33:57left and around the corner Chandler
- 34:00remained in that position because the
- 34:01interview room he was going to was right
- 34:03there okay and uh sometimes there's a
- 34:06delay when people get put in the
- 34:07interview room for a few minutes yes
- 34:09okay so if we start 8 minutes in You' be
- 34:12able to represent that nothing notable
- 34:13happened in those first eight minutes
- 34:15other than Mr halderson sitting there
- 34:16yes okay uh and there might be a minute
- 34:18or two more right after that before you
- 34:20walk in correct okay um and and we'll do
- 34:23that in one second there's another
- 34:25detective that joins you in this
- 34:26interview correct correct who is that uh
- 34:29detective Bill Hendrickson uh why are
- 34:31there two detectives at this point in
- 34:32the
- 34:33interview uh we always have two
- 34:35detectives in interviews um couple
- 34:38different philosophies there my focus is
- 34:41the lead detective is getting the
- 34:43questionings out to or the questions out
- 34:46to Chandler and um observing his
- 34:48responses but I also have to take notes
- 34:50so I can remember everything that's
- 34:52being said um the second detective is
- 34:55also watching the you know the body
- 34:57language of the person and they can also
- 35:00chime in if there's something that they
- 35:01feel I'm missing uh maybe not asking the
- 35:05right question or asking the question in
- 35:06the in the proper way to get the answers
- 35:09that we're looking for um they can chime
- 35:11in and you know maybe clarify things for
- 35:14us okay um you know at this point I
- 35:16think it would probably um be best we'll
- 35:19play this video um I'll move this
- 35:22exhibit as to not obstruct anyone's view
- 35:24approximately how long are we going to
- 35:25be watching this video detective just to
- 35:27give everyone an idea of how long
- 35:29they're going to be moved I believe the
- 35:31interview is approximately 2 hours long
- 35:34okay so perhaps dimming the lights judge
- 35:36would would would be appropriate and and
- 35:39we may see if uh if we started on the
- 35:41record with the jury at 9:30 um I don't
- 35:44know that we can go through the entire
- 35:46interview we'll we'll find out maybe
- 35:48we'll take a break during it if we um at
- 35:50an appropriate point so we don't go much
- 35:53past 9 90 minutes in here and come back
- 35:55and finish up the remainder of the V
- 35:58video before the uh the noon
- 36:02hour I mentioned we might uh speed up a
- 36:05little bit but for instance I'll just
- 36:07jump to 4:30 um
- 36:11here or I'll jump to 8 minutes and 16
- 36:14seconds that's just Mr halderson sitting
- 36:15in an interview
- 36:17room correct okay now a couple of
- 36:21questions just first Mr halderson is
- 36:23eventually going to move to that share
- 36:24that's in the bigger part of the screen
- 36:25right yes and that's when you guys come
- 36:27in
- 36:28yes we asked him to move to the other
- 36:30chair uh but looking at that top left
- 36:32screen at this point um Mr alderson's
- 36:35there looks like he has a water cup on
- 36:36the table he does okay um he's not
- 36:39handcuffed or chained to the floor or
- 36:41anything like that right no he was down
- 36:42there consensually at that point okay
- 36:45and you mentioned that uh as they walked
- 36:48in cat went to another room if you're
- 36:50looking at that top left screen um and
- 36:52you were to walk out that door would cat
- 36:54have been to the left or would have she
- 36:55been to the right she would be to to the
- 36:57right of the screen okay um so at least
- 37:00in your knowledge the last time Mr
- 37:01halderson saw cat that's the way she was
- 37:03walking correct all right um and there
- 37:05might be a minute or two here um but
- 37:07we're going to start playing at 8:16 uh

- 46:11sleeping on that
- 46:12floor right so he's explaining the couch
- 46:15Fort away as his dad helped him push
- 46:19those couches together so that the dogs
- 46:21could sleep there and he would be
- 46:22sleeping in the bathroom is that what he
- 46:24say like what the heck this guyy just

- 46:30actually the first was of July because
- 46:32you murdered your parents and
- 46:33dismembered them but okay the 50th of
- 46:36June he says was a bad day because you
- 46:38know he was playing with a ball with the
- 46:40dog and the dog smashed the glass on at
- 46:42the fireplace yeah yeah I mean wow to
- 46:44start off with that like wow what a red
- 46:46flag what a conversation starter he was
- 46:49using that fireplace on the evening of
- 46:51July 1st going to the second because he
- 46:53was trying to burn
- 46:57parents dismembered remains and when
- 46:58that plan failed he thought oh crap
- 47:00clearly and had to go and Scatter
- 47:03remains
- 47:04everywhere how horrific so right there
- 47:08that's a lie he's already he's already
- 47:10introducing the injury to his you know
- 47:12he didn't say toe but he got injured why
- 47:14in case they find blood in case they
- 47:16find blood he got an ouchie on his toe
- 47:18and today we will see an exhibit of that
- 47:21toe we will see a picture of that huge
- 47:25sarcasm in
- 47:27um injury downstairs floor yeah just
- 47:30cooler for or something kind of probably
- 47:34okay all right so you were tossing a
- 47:36ball what type of ball was
- 47:38it this gross hairy tennis ball that
- 47:42Rizzo loves all right just like a green
- 47:44tennis ball like a normal yeah okay the
- 47:47with the squeaker not not like a tennis
- 47:49racket ball but they don't chew my dog
- 47:52chews those out of the any tennis ball
- 47:54they just chew the squeakers out and
- 47:55then they don't play with them anymore
- 47:57um all right so you just tossing that
- 47:59around um broke the fireplace glass uh
- 48:02you said you were injured what type of
- 48:04injury did I got a pretty deep hole in
- 48:06my foot uh last night Mary looked at it
- 48:09and she said the reason it keeps
- 48:10bleeding is cuz there's glass in it oh
- 48:13that's the you showed us your toe yeah I
- 48:15showed the detective
- 48:17Le yeah show us your toe Chandler show
- 48:20it he's going to show it later to the
- 48:23detectives okay we won't see it yet you
- 48:25guys will have to wait for the toe to be
- 48:29exposed okay yeah
- 48:33so that one it could be infected is what
- 48:37she's thinking but Neosporin has been
- 48:39helping okay good um keeping it clean
- 48:42and
- 48:44stuff best you can best I I know how I
- 48:47guess um okay uh once I oh Wednesday

- 55:32his dead on Thursday I'm going to triple
- 55:34check this hold on Thursday the 1st of
- 55:37July when he says he grilled on Thursday
- 55:40no no no Chandler you grilled his
- 55:43remains on Thursday on Thursday night he
- 55:47was trying with a measuring tape to
- 55:50measure the size that the remains needed
- 55:52to be so that he could burn his parents
- 55:54remains in the fireplace
- 55:56now he's a dumbass cuz he didn't realize
- 55:58that would never work out but he did try
- 56:01to burn some they did find some over a
- 56:03100 bone fragments in the ash trap and
- 56:07also one bone right there in plain sight
- 56:09in the fireplace even though they were
- 56:10fresh logs put on but when he says that
- 56:13is just like he grilled on Thursday with
- 56:16the context we have now oh wow I told
- 56:19one officer the Green
- 56:22Egg he got um the mix terrible food but
- 56:28yeah Dad does yeah oh the Green Egg
- 56:31itself oh the Green Egg that's like a
- 56:32grill or something yeah it's insulated
- 56:35and makes everything Smokey oh
- 56:38okay um it's Thursday
- 56:42morning how we
- 56:48up what time is it 6 okay
- 56:53dogs we talked about that yesterday 6
- 56:55a.m. is kind of your deal right 6 a.m.
- 56:58yep the internal clock now yeah I
- 57:01haven't used things in a
- 57:04while
- 57:07six I don't have any
- 57:10breakfast so I kind of just stay in my
- 57:13room on my
- 57:14phone um help my mom out getting
- 57:19ready in the morning she she left for
- 57:22work at
- 57:247:30 I got her
- 57:28um whatever she had to do what was
- 57:34it this is meaningless tasks like just
- 57:39daily like pillowcase changes and Sheet
- 57:43changes stuff like that you know in the
- 57:46morning before work yeah that's what we
- 57:50always do
- 57:54um then she's
- 58:00gone uh my dad starts the grill around
- 58:048:39 in the morning yeah to get the
- 58:07temperature
- 58:10right we'll see working from home that
- 58:13day or yes
- 58:16okay oh my he's to make it like the Dead
- 58:19start at the grill at 8:30 in the
- 58:22morning to get the temperature just
- 58:25right I mean
- 58:27the think that he says he's just telling
- 58:29them without telling him as Barbara no
- 58:30said that green egg makes terrible food
- 58:32makes everything Smokey is what he said
- 58:34you know in case they're wondering why
- 58:36is the house why does it smell so Smokey
- 58:38oh it's those the green eggs mhm so
- 58:42saying that his dad started the grill at
- 58:438:30 to get the temperature just right
- 58:45on that day July 1st of 2021 in reality
- 58:50Chandler shot his father in the back
- 58:52just after what police believe is just
- 58:55after three p.m. and then his mother
- 58:58when she got home so yeah this timeline
- 59:02is interesting of how he says it went
- 59:03that day
- 59:06we um we ate the grill nothing really
- 59:10happened between that we kind of either
- 59:11were outside with the dogs from the
- 59:14lighting of the
- 59:16grill him going in taking a couple
- 59:19calls now and then or emails or
- 59:22something but we just kind of watched
- 59:24the grill and waited to get it set
- 59:26steady at uh the hamburgers for 350 is
- 59:31okay
- 59:34then so yeah we just kind of
- 59:38waited for the
- 59:40burgers
- 59:42um and then we had we ate noon
- 59:51NO3 or 12:30 sorry
- 59:54sure um
- 59:57then we went inside and had our TV show
- 1:00:01again Wheel of Fortune it's always on
- 1:00:03arounder time for
- 1:00:05lunch or was it Family Feud Family Feud
- 1:00:09was
- 1:00:10Thursday family Fe
- 1:00:14um where did you guys watch that at
- 1:00:16downstairs same okay did you guys have a
- 1:00:19TV upstairs I don't remember no no okay
- 1:00:22not
- 1:00:23allow um
- 1:00:29I mean according to him the dad you know
- 1:00:31this is none of this is true okay based
- 1:00:32on evidence in this case okay but
- 1:00:34according to him he L the GRS um at 8:30
- 1:00:38in the morning so that they could have
- 1:00:40burgers at 3:50
- 1:00:44p.m. I mean only him and his dad would
- 1:00:46be home then his mom wouldn't even be
- 1:00:48home yet but interesting timing seeing
- 1:00:50as he murdered his dad just after 300
- 1:00:53p.m. so already then in reality he would
- 1:00:57be thinking about what am I going to do
- 1:00:59with his body so if he says around 3:50
- 1:01:03p.m. Burger time it's more like yeah
- 1:01:06you're planning already what you're
- 1:01:07going to do right non aners green egg is
- 1:01:11a smoker ruins food in my opinion
- 1:01:14possibly yes but uh I think in
- 1:01:15Chandler's case yeah he was just trying
- 1:01:17to explain a way I don't think there
- 1:01:18were any green eggs no he just trying to
- 1:01:20explain away the smoke
- 1:01:23right sorry I'm really trying to the
- 1:01:26memory um
- 1:01:28that's then yeah we went to go do our
- 1:01:32own things I went back to a little bit
- 1:01:35more job searching this time I branched
- 1:01:37into theforest instead of just Windsor

- 1:15:12know the times
- 1:15:14though throughout the weekend I mean but
- 1:15:17I called my ma I
- 1:15:18believe in the morning or along those
- 1:15:22lines and I get a text from her
- 1:15:26it was a text message it wasn't even an
- 1:15:28iMessage so M I
- 1:15:30assume she said White Lake
- 1:15:33today so she sent it that
- 1:15:37day um I couldn't figure out where she
- 1:15:41was through because it was a text there
- 1:15:44was no IM message so I kind of just like
- 1:15:46left it at that they're safe they're
- 1:15:50alive then
- 1:15:57it's the
- 1:15:59afternoon I'm talking to
- 1:16:03Dan I call him up and I ask him well
- 1:16:06what he's
- 1:16:09doing or maybe that was the morning but
- 1:16:11I I called Dan that Sunday as it's
- 1:16:15difficult hey what he's like maybe it
- 1:16:16was this day or maybe it was that day I
- 1:16:18mean he's I think he's doing that
- 1:16:19intentionally of course he's also trying
- 1:16:21to tell the story in reverse he can't
- 1:16:23keep a story straight he's trying to
- 1:16:25keep track of his own lies with his
- 1:16:27timeline but he's also you know bringing
- 1:16:28in a lot of ambiguity there of maybe it
- 1:16:31was Friday night till 2 maybe it was
- 1:16:33Saturday maybe cat came over on Friday
- 1:16:35maybe it was Saturday or Sunday I don't
- 1:16:37know I mean yeah no they tracking
- 1:16:40everything just like I'm sure many of us
- 1:16:41are um I know that he's uh his Cadence

- 1:16:51media interviews the way he spoke to the
- 1:16:53police officers very very

- 1:16:58sloth mode trying to keep track of his
- 1:17:00own lies okay but I don't want to speed
- 1:17:02it up because I wanted us to see his
- 1:17:04body language and everything as it
- 1:17:07is look at him go if we speed it up it
- 1:17:10will see him like he's speaking like he
- 1:17:11did to everyone else he isn't super slow
- 1:17:14very carefully thinking about all these
- 1:17:16lies and trying to you know trying to
- 1:17:19get them to make sense but they don't do

- 1:28:41night with that fireplace going trying
- 1:28:44to burn their remains that he had
- 1:28:47dismantled that did not work out well so

- 1:49:58to bed cuz I kind of had a day yeah what
- 1:50:02time you think you left I kind of had a
- 1:50:06day yeah you did mhm her place say
- 1:50:12nine left about 9 okay
- 1:50:17um she didn't come with you no I was
- 1:50:20alone that night okay
- 1:50:25um don't really want to drag her away I
- 1:50:28think she stayed at her apartment that
- 1:50:30or her house that night not apartment
- 1:50:33okay so there we
- 1:50:38are Tuesday Tuesday
- 1:50:41morning it was
- 1:50:48just I can't remember dday um
- 1:50:53oh Dan wakes me up I believe with
- 1:50:57something or not wakes me up I I did the
- 1:50:59six again with the dogs and the food but
- 1:51:01I got back in bed I don't know if I
- 1:51:03passed out or zoned out a little bit
- 1:51:08but um Dan is worried about my M on
- 1:51:12Tuesday I
- 1:51:14think did you call her said no no word
- 1:51:18my M I don't know if he called or I
- 1:51:21think he just contact that's what I can
- 1:51:23think of reached out yeah he reached
- 1:51:25out then I'm like oh it's Tuesday
- 1:51:27morning they should be here um no
- 1:51:31worried I think I called my mom that
- 1:51:36day all right and
- 1:51:40then you talk for her no she she never
- 1:51:43picked up either it's always the
- 1:51:47the the voicemail inant voicemail you
- 1:51:50know when you yeah so it's off out of
- 1:51:54range I don't know the other factors
- 1:51:56that could give you that it's like a
- 1:51:58voicemail right away go right to
- 1:51:59voicemail right yeah okay so whatever
- 1:52:02factors can give you that so I might
- 1:52:04miss that so from the time factors he
- 1:52:07doesn't know what other factors all he
- 1:52:08have to say is I called my mom which is
- 1:52:10a lie and it went straight to voicemail
- 1:52:12that's it that's the end of the sentence
- 1:52:14like I don't know what other factors I
- 1:52:15could give you that would lead to
- 1:52:17that well we have a couple of factors
- 1:52:19now obviously in hindsight of what led
- 1:52:20to that like they left did you talk to
- 1:52:24them at all when they were I got aext
- 1:52:27you got the one text and I that you
- 1:52:29mentioned earlier don't even like it
- 1:52:31right yeah but that was it nothing else
- 1:52:33yeah so that's that's fishy to me even
- 1:52:36the text because I realized Memorial Day
- 1:52:39is when the White Lake parade is oh sure
- 1:52:42there's no Fourth of July maybe there's
- 1:52:44cheap drinks but there's no parade quite
- 1:52:47like on the fourth
- 1:52:51so well may maybe there is
- 1:52:53now I realize I I've always gone on
- 1:52:57Memorial because that's that's the weend
- 1:53:00I I get timed off from school and all of
- 1:53:03that you don't get time off for the
- 1:53:04fourth so so basically from the time
- 1:53:07that they're gone at the cabin in your
- 1:53:10home you know running around doing what
- 1:53:11you're doing you just said one
- 1:53:14communication with Mom yeah that's kind
- 1:53:16of I I just assumed the amount of people
- 1:53:20the where they at and whe you're all
- 1:53:23well I understand I'm just making sure
- 1:53:26her not contacting but this was it's
- 1:53:28interesting how he's like realized along
- 1:53:30the way crap the text that he sent
- 1:53:32himself from his mom's phone from their
- 1:53:35home right damn it it said that they
- 1:53:38were going to the parade on the 4th but
- 1:53:39the parade didn't happen on the 4th so
- 1:53:41that's very fishy to him now he says but
- 1:53:43it's just like something that he messed
- 1:53:45up Also earlier um
- 1:53:49Antonia hak I don't know how to
- 1:53:52pronounce your last name properly there
- 1:53:54but you said maybe the detective is
- 1:53:55telling the wrong days on purpose to see
- 1:53:57if Chandler would correct him and that
- 1:53:59could be true as well because I think at
- 1:54:01this point they'd GA gathered a lot of
- 1:54:03evidence and so they're like okay so
- 1:54:05that's Sunday right yeah yeah Sunday
- 1:54:06goes back to Sunday just even though
- 1:54:09they were talking about Monday if so
- 1:54:11that would be a smart mood you know to
- 1:54:14see would this guy correct them no no we
- 1:54:16talking about Monday now this is what
- 1:54:18happened or is it just going to go along
- 1:54:19with their confusion right right the
- 1:54:23only text was there anything with Dad no
- 1:54:26I I would even bother talking to him he
- 1:54:28he wouldn't use his phone while he's up
- 1:54:30there he loves it
- 1:54:33interesting you know do he keep his
- 1:54:36phone on him when he's up
- 1:54:37there probably it's usually in the car
- 1:54:40oh okay um my brother and I just text
- 1:54:44all the time while we're up there we
- 1:54:46even set up wire and Tennis sometimes to
- 1:54:49make make better connection sure um so
- 1:54:53here we are where Tuesday um called Mom
- 1:54:57voicemail immediately voicemail
- 1:54:59immediately
- 1:55:01Tuesday where Dan Dan called worried
- 1:55:04about mom not coming to work um you had
- 1:55:07already fed the dogs and that before Dan
- 1:55:09called you or reached out to
- 1:55:29so
- 1:55:31Tu doing this
- 1:55:36CRA I I got a coffee at a quick trip one

- 1:56:00it was a Monday I could have gotten a
- 1:56:02dollar one but it was full price I
- 1:56:05believe and I I grabbed that the coffee

- 1:56:09for weeks so we grab that had a quick
- 1:56:12trip I couldn't tell you which one I was

- 1:56:47Tuesday uh cat's working up and I'm
- 1:56:51gaming job hun and then I um then I
- 1:56:55started trying to get the the
- 1:56:58glass CU I've been a little lazy on the
- 1:57:03glass I just kind of had chairs in front
- 1:57:05of it sh the way that he smiles it's
- 1:57:07such activities he was doing I broom
- 1:57:13and you know a little sweeper holder you
- 1:57:16know you broom it into that dust pan
- 1:57:19yeah um tossing the glass
- 1:57:22into the
- 1:57:26recycling
- 1:57:28um I get most of it there's there's a
- 1:57:30bunch in the cracks of the stone that
- 1:57:33I'm picking off by
- 1:57:35hand I think I didn't injure myself from
- 1:57:37that
- 1:57:39but um
- 1:57:42just
- 1:57:47yeah just
- 1:57:50um I blood was kind of on the flooor so
- 1:57:54I got the Swiffer I borrowed from
- 1:57:57cat from the the
- 1:57:59foot I bar a Swiffer him up I Swiffer
- 1:58:04the the floor floor like not the stone
- 1:58:06but the
- 1:58:07floor and then I got a little bit in the
- 1:58:09kitchen his blood was all over the floor
- 1:58:13he
- 1:58:14says you know because he knows in case
- 1:58:17they maybe do like a luminal test or
- 1:58:19something no no he Swiffer that floor y
- 1:58:22C to bring hydrogen
- 1:58:23peroxide and also a Swiffer that he
- 1:58:25borrowed I mean there was plenty of
- 1:58:28cleaning equipment at the house but he
- 1:58:29wanted his girlfriend to bring him a
- 1:58:30Swiffer it's also
- 1:58:32weird so strange this guy but it's just
- 1:58:35like my blood was all over the floor
- 1:58:36from you know that toe injury which
- 1:58:38again we're going to see an exhibit of

- 1:58:47kitchen and then I couldn't get the
- 1:58:50carpet so I still stained that up little
- 1:58:52crap interesting everywhere he walked
- 1:58:55there's just going to be blood
- 1:58:56everywhere so if they find blood
- 1:58:57evidence in that house it's just because
- 1:59:01he had an ouchie on his
- 1:59:03toe where was there carpet at the stairs
- 1:59:06between basement and kitchen carpet oh
- 1:59:08that's right carpet

- 2:11:04it's
- 2:11:04um then here we are I turn around and
- 2:11:08then Jane
- 2:11:11calls I get a picture of the property at
- 2:11:14the
- 2:11:16cabin I see
- 2:11:19that so I'm looking at the cabin
- 2:11:24then it doesn't look right there's a
- 2:11:25birch tree in in
- 2:11:28front and I I didn't like the look of it
- 2:11:31cuz that didn't that didn't just sit
- 2:11:33right with me a little bit but I it
- 2:11:36looked like tracks or pushed down into
- 2:11:38the grass a little bit I don't know it
- 2:11:40literally didn't that's when they went
- 2:11:43out to look at that cabin up North near
- 2:11:47soyer
- 2:11:48Lake they literally said well the grass
- 2:11:51is so tall we heard the hilen dorfs
- 2:11:54testify we heard Mitch his brother
- 2:11:56testify no the grass was not pushed flat
- 2:12:00at all as if no one had been there for a
- 2:12:02long time from the picture and Mike said
- 2:12:06there was like light tracks like someone
- 2:12:08was
- 2:12:09there where was the birch tree at it
- 2:12:12looked like it was in the middle of the
- 2:12:14drive and sometimes we do do that we we
- 2:12:17find a fallen log and we put it like a
- 2:12:21you know a double door entrance so you
- 2:12:24go in from the gate you park you move
- 2:12:26the next and then you drive yeah sure so
- 2:12:31that's like the only security we can get
- 2:12:32up
- 2:12:34there um some we have done that
- 2:12:37before the grass is overgrown but that's
- 2:12:40from the storm and the Fallen trees you
- 2:12:42can't mow there because the
- 2:12:49flowers so with the birch tree I mean if
- 2:12:52you guys typically put stuff down like
- 2:12:54security why why did it look weird to
- 2:12:57you this time you never seen that log we
- 2:13:00have we have this log that's close to
- 2:13:04the shed
- 2:13:05it's I would say closer to petrified
- 2:13:08than rotten it's hard like really
- 2:13:12hard yeah I don't know what kind of tree
- 2:13:15but that's what my dad and I use when we
- 2:13:17go so you typically use the same tree
- 2:13:20this one just seemed out of place too
- 2:13:22yeah that's not the tree we use gotta
- 2:13:31um where are we Wednesday morning uh
- 2:13:33Jane sends you a
- 2:13:35picture see the birch tree right you
- 2:13:39know what was the sus tree was actually
- 2:13:41the one at the swimming area near the
- 2:13:43Wisconsin River where he had disposed of
- 2:13:46his mother's legs now that was a sus
- 2:13:49tree you know it wasn't really sus but
- 2:13:50like he there's a picture of him hanging
- 2:13:52on this tree from the past and he liked
- 2:13:54to go swimming there in that picture
- 2:13:56it's pretty Eerie because he's hanging
- 2:13:58on the tree and he's holding a knife so
- 2:14:00now in hindsight again that's just like
- 2:14:01a creepy picture but you know he just
- 2:14:05gives away these little these little
- 2:14:06details that are interesting for the
- 2:14:09case but he's making as if no that tree
- 2:14:11by the cabin was sus no it was that tree
- 2:14:14that's going to catch exactly where you
- 2:14:17really
- 2:14:18were because your girlfriend also took a
- 2:14:21screenshot of the Snapchat to show that
- 2:14:23you were there which is why they found
- 2:14:25his mother's legs if it wasn't for cat
- 2:14:27sharing that screenshot they wouldn't
- 2:14:29have found well maybe eventually maybe
- 2:14:31someone would have come across human
- 2:14:33remains or you know the the bones or
- 2:14:35whatever shame but because of cat they
- 2:14:38found his mother's
- 2:14:40remains it's just amazing how he's like
- 2:14:42which day he's going with like as again
- 2:14:44like Monday Tuesday Wednesday again wed
- 2:14:46gu yesterday for him for he he's sitting
- 2:14:49there on Thursday July 8th but he still

- 2:14:53realize it's yesterday just I mean they

- 2:28:17what I mean wow gushing to me enough to
- 2:28:21run down your leg like um like cover
- 2:28:25your leg I suppose like he has it on his
- 2:28:28knee so when he does this it just
- 2:28:32like drips
- 2:28:35down I ask him to stop but he doesn't do
- 2:28:37it when he's stressed out he just kind
- 2:28:40of like it's his tick yeah probably
- 2:28:43itches does he um like does it enough to
- 2:28:46get on the floor does it leave oh yeah
- 2:28:49yeah like how much like before we were
- 2:28:51talking the water bottle lid and the
- 2:28:52yeti lid is there I mean like are we
- 2:28:54talking puddles like that or just dings
- 2:28:57or it could be enough okay but I'm
- 2:29:00thinking Yeti L if he's there and I
- 2:29:03don't catch him soon enough oh jeez my
- 2:29:06M's
- 2:29:07blood D just from her bloody noses she
- 2:29:11gets sometimes when she wakes up that's
- 2:29:13why we've been doing the dehumidify or
- 2:29:17humidifier and dehumidifiers yeah
- 2:29:21humidifiers and dehumidifiers okay at
- 2:29:24the same time because you know these
- 2:29:28Mom's blood would be explained by those
- 2:29:30nose bleeds that she had the dad
- 2:29:32scratching psoriasis not actually um
- 2:29:34that he murdered and dismembered his
- 2:29:36parents in that home no no
- 2:29:39psoriasis nose bleeds or the ouie on his
- 2:29:43toe yeah probably downstairs you get
- 2:29:47those we we have to do multiple of them
- 2:29:49but she can't be in the living room too
- 2:29:51long cuz that's a dehumidifier and if
- 2:29:53she does her nose gets
- 2:29:57bad not like a regular one she gets it
- 2:30:02bad
- 2:30:03um but she either goes the kitchen to
- 2:30:06fix it her vanity or the
- 2:30:12bathroom um when she has bloody noses
- 2:30:14are we talking it's just spraying around
- 2:30:17is it just dripping well it's not
- 2:30:18squirting but it's
- 2:30:20and she doesn't notice it she can't feel
- 2:30:23it anymore
- 2:30:25okay um scary is there any reason to
- 2:30:29believe that in either one of their
- 2:30:31vehicles there would be any of their
- 2:30:35blood their vehicles yeah or anybody's
- 2:30:39vehicle I say that no maybe car
- 2:30:42trash mom's car trash would definitely

- 2:36:25weeks after his brother was diagnosed
- 2:36:27yes he was very jealous apparently of
- 2:36:28the attention that his brother was
- 2:36:30getting so then he came up with damn I
- 2:36:32just fell down the stairs I've got a
- 2:36:34concussion you put them on your mouth
- 2:36:37already they are no I just got so the
- 2:36:41plum went no no is it is it like uh was
- 2:36:45it a sink or a toilet or what was it
- 2:36:47with the plumbing that went bad um um so
- 2:36:50when we have to pour water in every time
- 2:36:53we go up to start the pump okay so some
- 2:36:58reason by pouring water in the water
- 2:37:00never Rose in the toilet bowl apparently
- 2:37:03so you couldn't flush it you know it it
- 2:37:06the water didn't come to the toilet MH
- 2:37:08um so you need a new thing to stop
- 2:37:11whatever the problem was I think leaking
- 2:37:14I don't know I didn't hear everything
- 2:37:17from it I'm sure how did he find out
- 2:37:19about that
- 2:37:21he yeah how did he know that there was a
- 2:37:24plumbing issue up there well he went up
- 2:37:26there just to go see the cabin oh so
- 2:37:28when he went up a couple weeks ago he
- 2:37:30realized an issue this time he wanted to
- 2:37:31fix it well he fixed the the major issue
- 2:37:35so won't be flooding the the house okay
- 2:37:38the
- 2:37:39cabin now he wanted the pipe set to redo
- 2:37:44it okay because we we need again

- 2:37:58to take some tools you know yeah there's
- 2:38:00some missing tools in that garage well
- 2:38:02it's because his dad took them to the
- 2:38:05cabin to do some minor repairs right wow
- 2:38:09new pipes cuz they're
- 2:38:13lead and I think we might be moving the
- 2:38:16plastic because there's no water heat we
- 2:38:19can plastic

- 2:54:28the country do you live St George Utah
- 2:54:30and do you ever have occasion to visit
- 2:54:32uh this area of the country uh the first
- 2:54:34time I ever did was this summer and uh
- 2:54:37what brought you uh over to this area my
- 2:54:39daughter and her fiance live here and uh
- 2:54:41whereabouts do they live in sck City
- 2:54:44okay and do they live in the in the city
- 2:54:45or out in a rural area it's rural they
- 2:54:48kind of live in a weird spot on the edge
- 2:54:50of Three Counties sure but I'd call it
- 2:54:53rural definitely for me it's rural okay
- 2:54:55and uh is there any public land near
- 2:54:58where they live yes and whereabouts is
- 2:55:00that in relation to their property um I
- 2:55:03they live two houses away from the river
- 2:55:06well I guess there's Woods before you
- 2:55:08get to the river and and across the
- 2:55:10street is a large open lot that it's not
- 2:55:13public land but at the time I first got
- 2:55:14here I thought it was it all looks like
- 2:55:16public land to me it's all open sure uh
- 2:55:19and were you visiting this summer uh
- 2:55:20around July 3rd yes and in in that day
- 2:55:23on July 3rd uh in the morning between 8
- 2:55:259 a.m. um were you outside yes and what
- 2:55:29were you doing outside that day uh
- 2:55:31playing with my granddaughter I I'm
- 2:55:33raising my granddaughter and she and I
- 2:55:35were running around out in the front
- 2:55:36yard well actually she was running um
- 2:55:39and I we were waiting for my daughter to
- 2:55:40come because we were going to go to the
- 2:55:42park okay and did you see anything that
- 2:55:44day that ultimately maybe you were asked
- 2:55:46about from the police in this
- 2:55:47investigation yes what did you see I saw
- 2:55:51a man who was um walking away from some
- 2:55:54cars parked at the end of the street at
- 2:55:56the time I didn't know the river was
- 2:55:58there um so he was parked facing the
- 2:56:00river in the woods and he walked away
- 2:56:02from it and then he walked back to his
- 2:56:05car and mind you I was watching my
- 2:56:08granddaughter I noticed him but I was
- 2:56:09watching her and then he I thought he
- 2:56:11was walking back to meet someone and
- 2:56:14then he didn't and uh he looked across
- 2:56:17the street from my daughter where
- 2:56:19there's a big open lot which at the time
- 2:56:21I thought maybe he was looking for a
- 2:56:22hiking trail um and then he I didn't see
- 2:56:27where he went after he went back to his
- 2:56:28car I assume now the only place he could
- 2:56:30have gone would have been into the woods
- 2:56:32okay and uh what stuck out to you why
- 2:56:35did you remember this or was there
- 2:56:36anything odd that caused you to remember
- 2:56:37this actually no at the time I didn't
- 2:56:40think it was odd I just thought it was a
- 2:56:41guy who was going hiking and when I met
- 2:56:44my daughter later it was my very first
- 2:56:45day in Wisconsin I said is there there
- 2:56:48hiking trails around your house it
- 2:56:49looked like there was a guy there going
- 2:56:51hiking and she says no people don't go
- 2:56:53hiking there they go fishing usually
- 2:56:54down by the river and so I I at the time
- 2:56:57I didn't even think it was odd I was
- 2:56:59thought maybe there were some good
- 2:57:00hiking trails sure now why are they
- 2:57:03speaking to this witness about what she
- 2:57:05saw so she obviously saw
- 2:57:08Chandler near the Wisconsin River I'll
- 2:57:11show you on the map just now that's a
- 2:57:13South African saying hey just now that
- 2:57:15means soon okay they just they talking a
- 2:57:18little bit and then I'll show you on the
- 2:57:19map where that was and the reason it's
- 2:57:20important is also cuz that's where cat
- 2:57:23had seen the Chanel was on Snapchat and
- 2:57:25it was an area where he liked to go
- 2:57:27swimming and that's where they
- 2:57:28eventually found Christa's uh partial
- 2:57:31remains do you know what the roads are
- 2:57:33around there even called yes because I
- 2:57:35ended up staying for two months once I
- 2:57:37got here sure about what what are the
- 2:57:39road names that are around that area um
- 2:57:41my daughter lives on the corner of I
- 2:57:43think it's Highway 188 and it's called
- 2:57:45Jensen road but it's also called Old
- 2:57:47Highway 6 depending on which county
- 2:57:49you're in okay and then it's right the
- 2:57:52next street over is the the new highway
- 2:57:5460 I assume it's new got it this man
- 2:57:56that you saw um what if you give us a
- 2:57:58general physical description of him he
- 2:58:00was about somewhere in his early to mid
- 2:58:0320s to maybe early 30s um not real tall
- 2:58:07maybe 510 is I'd say
- 2:58:11um either a dark hair or a dark hat I'm
- 2:58:14not 100% sure and he was wearing a
- 2:58:17backpack
- 2:58:18pack and some pants I can't remember if
- 2:58:21they were jeans or khakis but it looked
- 2:58:23like he was going hiking you catch a and
- 2:58:25were you able to observe what his race
- 2:58:26was he was white okay um well I assume
- 2:58:30he was white based on his skin
- 2:58:32color
- 2:58:34okay one
- 2:58:40second you mentioned he was coming from
- 2:58:43some cars do you know what car he was
- 2:58:45coming from or what the cars were um I
- 2:58:47know there were two or three cars parked
- 2:58:49there cuz they hadn't been when I
- 2:58:51arrived the night before one of them was
- 2:58:53a Subaru I know that because I had just
- 2:58:55sold my Subaru and I I don't know for
- 2:58:58and one of them was dark and I don't
- 2:59:00know for sure which car he was coming
- 2:59:03from okay or two he was just around them
- 2:59:07thank you no further questions cross
- 2:59:10examination good
- 2:59:13afternoon It's Not Unusual to see cars
- 2:59:15parked in that area correct I I wouldn't
- 2:59:18know that was my very first day there
- 2:59:20you spent two months there afterwards
- 2:59:22there were there were days when there
- 2:59:23were no cars and there were days when
- 2:59:25there were two or three cars yes so it's
- 2:59:26not unusual that there were cars parked
- 2:59:28there based on what my what I saw this
- 2:59:30summer I would say so say It's Not
- 2:59:33Unusual yes sorry that wasn't
- 2:59:37clear this person you saw you didn't
- 2:59:39recognize them as someone you knew
- 2:59:41correct
- 2:59:42no and you didn't recognize them in any
- 2:59:45way other than the brief description you
- 2:59:47just gave correct correct
- 2:59:49correct that's it thank you any redirect
- 2:59:53no may this witness be excused and
- 2:59:55released from her subpoena she she is
- 2:59:57both excused and released from her
- 2:59:58subpoena thank you so much have a good
- 3:00:00rest of your
- 3:00:00day okay let's do a quick uh map time so
- 3:00:04I can just show you where that is
- 3:00:08[Music]
- 3:00:17[Music]
- 3:00:26okay and we are back so if we have a
- 3:00:31look we are in Wisconsin where this case
- 3:00:33took place this Oak Spring circle is uh
- 3:00:37where
- 3:00:38Chandlers well the holders Home was
- 3:00:41where the crime happened double homicide
- 3:00:43and
- 3:00:44dismemberment and then it so it was look
- 3:00:46here it says winds
- 3:00:48Windsor
- 3:00:49Wisconsin okay and then um in Cottage
- 3:00:54Grove in this area is what they showed
- 3:00:56us earlier as well on the map this was
- 3:01:00Chandler's girlfriend's mother's
- 3:01:02fiance's property Cris theze property um
- 3:01:06and so they showed us the pool that he s
- 3:01:08i me this is that Barn where he says he
- 3:01:10had that little you know breakdown and
- 3:01:13says that they were just watching him
- 3:01:15while he's having this breakdown it's
- 3:01:17where this is where he he had the murder
- 3:01:18weapon in the barn at cr's house and he
- 3:01:23had walked off South into the woods to
- 3:01:26hide a bin a tarp and his father's torso
- 3:01:30at the front of the property I think it
- 3:01:32was outside here where there were bins
- 3:01:35and he had put a Target bag with bloody
- 3:01:38rags in it so that was that property so
- 3:01:41at that point on the you know we just
- 3:01:43saw the police interview on that same
- 3:01:45day the reason that like we know we know
- 3:01:47things okay because they had found a
- 3:01:48torso here where CH and do had said
- 3:01:52Chandler was walking around and being
- 3:01:54kind of sus really they couldn't figure
- 3:01:56out like is he on drugs or what is he
- 3:01:57doing I don't know what's happening with
- 3:01:58him then he got in the pool and was
- 3:02:00washing himself off which in hindsight
- 3:02:02that must be absolutely horrifying to
- 3:02:04think about but they were like where is
- 3:02:06Christa so they found partial remains of
- 3:02:09Bart but where where was Christa and her
- 3:02:12her partial remains which unfortunately
- 3:02:14were only
- 3:02:15legs were found on
- 3:02:18July 14th of 2021 and it was in this
- 3:02:21area where remember cat his girlfriend
- 3:02:24at the time had taken a screenshot
- 3:02:26because Chandler had apparently cheated
- 3:02:28on her before so she was kind of you
- 3:02:31know keeping a couple of tabs on him
- 3:02:33because she didn't really trust him can
- 3:02:35you imagine now trust issues so this was
- 3:02:38the swimming area where he really likeed
- 3:02:40to go they talked about swimming out to
- 3:02:42this little sand Bank as well this is
- 3:02:43the Wisconsin River and the closest
- 3:02:46point I could find is called
- 3:02:48the Ruth Culver Community Library okay
- 3:02:52it's somewhere around there so around
- 3:02:54here is where that witness would then
- 3:02:55have seen a guy and a sub Subaru and
- 3:03:00just like looking for a hiking trail or
- 3:03:02looking a little bit out of place now
- 3:03:05that didn't sound like obviously Beyond
- 3:03:06a reasonable doubt that it was Chandler
- 3:03:08halderson but if you add the Subaru the
- 3:03:11date which matches the Snapchat you know
- 3:03:14and what he was wearing and all of that
- 3:03:16it could very much have been OB viously
- 3:03:18chander halderson because they found his
- 3:03:20mother's partial remains in this area
- 3:03:23well this like wooded area in this
- 3:03:25wooded area uh on July 14th and again
- 3:03:29it's only because of his girlfriend the
- 3:03:31times Snapchat otherwise they I don't
- 3:03:33know if they would have really gone to
- 3:03:34look in that area or even found that
- 3:03:36witness to to question okay so that's
- 3:03:39the map time so let's go back to our
- 3:03:41trial day
- 3:03:43here good
- 3:03:46afternoon I think you've testified
- 3:03:48previously that you are one of the two

- 3:10:21I don't remember um there were three
- 3:10:23other wardens that were there and the
- 3:10:25plan was just to divide it up into three
- 3:10:27different Parcels essentially and search
- 3:10:29those thoroughly and I searched the
- 3:10:31southernmost area and how do you search
- 3:10:34those areas areas thoroughly by walking
- 3:10:37through them and trying to stay as close
- 3:10:39as possible to each other to make sure
- 3:10:40that you not missing anything that might

- 3:10:55lot of trees some open grassland type of
- 3:10:58stuff and it leads up to the river um
- 3:11:00pretty thick with weeds that time of
- 3:11:02year you know in July um a lot of smart
- 3:11:05weed pretty thick area overall is it
- 3:11:08open to the public private or something

- 3:11:12public okay um do PE what sort of
- 3:11:18things do people use that land for if

- 3:11:25river to go fishing you know maybe even
- 3:11:27sightseing seeing bald eagles and so on
- 3:11:29um and then you know any other use

- 3:11:33okay and then the winter there's
- 3:11:35snowmobile trails in that area yep
- 3:11:37there's a snowmobile trail that runs
- 3:11:39through it okay and what town is it
- 3:11:41located near um well it's located I
- 3:11:45guess in the town of Roxberry for the
- 3:11:46most part I mean there's a lot of
- 3:11:48different sections of it but the biggest
- 3:11:49city would be Sock City or Prairie to
- 3:11:54saac okay and the search took place on
- 3:11:57July 14th
- 3:11:59yes
- 3:12:01um I'm going to have you look over
- 3:12:04there's a large photograph there is that
- 3:12:07part of the area that you

- 3:12:13little bit differently

- 3:13:57continue
- 3:14:01on uh same thing for
- 3:14:05126 127 looks to be

- 3:14:17looks to be correct
- 3:14:20okay at this time your honor I would ask
- 3:14:23to distribute
- 3:14:25booklets um containing exhibits 125
- 3:14:29through 131 to each member of the jury
- 3:14:32folks we are doing this or I should say
- 3:14:34the state is doing this in a slightly
- 3:14:35different procedure than other exhibits
- 3:14:38and obviously um as you may gather
- 3:14:42um similarly uh to the presentation
- 3:14:45yesterday I think the state in intends
- 3:14:47to demonstrate a
- 3:14:49stepbystep look of the discovery um
- 3:14:53culminating in what was discovered which
- 3:14:54of course the perimeter lights are
- 3:14:56definitely on okay we have about 23
- 3:14:59minutes left of trial 44 today becomes
- 3:15:02the most or more sensitive or disturbing
- 3:15:05of the photos um you'll have these in
- 3:15:07front of you instead of on the screen um
- 3:15:09the same admonition that I gave
- 3:15:11yesterday applies today you have to be
- 3:15:13able to have say said you saw it but um
- 3:15:16whether you then Look Away close the
- 3:15:19booklet look at the picture examine
- 3:15:21that's solely up to your discretion as a
- 3:15:23juror I will only say this don't turn
- 3:15:25ahead and if you are going to engage in
- 3:15:28a closing of the booklet and then
- 3:15:30reopening to the next page just make
- 3:15:32sure your hand stays in the proper place
- 3:15:34so that you know that I have to turn one
- 3:15:36more page and that you're not stumbling
- 3:15:38or going ahead because I believe the
- 3:15:40state does want to present these to you
- 3:15:42in the order prepared in the booklet you
- 3:15:44won't be keeping the booklets they'll be
- 3:15:46returned when we're finished with this
- 3:15:47exhibit but um we're um anticipating
- 3:15:51that this is um an alternate method of
- 3:15:53showing things to you that uh um we're
- 3:15:56going to attempt at this time go right
- 3:15:57ahead yes should allow for more detail
- 3:16:00observation um the exhibit number is in
- 3:16:02the lower right hand corner if you would
- 3:16:05take one and pass them on go right ahead
- 3:16:08all right um Warden I would ask that you
- 3:16:11look at exhibit 125 and could you
- 3:16:14explain to the jury what picture 125 is
- 3:16:19of uh the picture 125 is an aerial photo
- 3:16:22of on the center of it you can see where
- 3:16:25the body parts are located that um
- 3:16:27myself and Kevin guber um who are part
- 3:16:31of the search party what we
- 3:16:32located the larger group of it there's
- 3:16:35still a piece of another piece of human
- 3:16:38remains that were found that would be if
- 3:16:40you're looking at the picture you if you
- 3:16:42look above it you see a gap it would be
- 3:16:44to the right of that somewhere in that
- 3:16:46area
- 3:16:49but this is the largest grouping that
- 3:16:51red spot that you
- 3:16:52see okay um and at this point what did
- 3:16:57you think that red area was did you know
- 3:17:00when you first began yes when I
- 3:17:02approached it I saw toes and a foot and
- 3:17:05part of a leg and so on so I knew I had
- 3:17:06found human remains at that point okay
- 3:17:10uh let's turn the page to exhibit
- 3:17:14126 could you please describe for the
- 3:17:17jury what what 126
- 3:17:20displays same thing as I had described
- 3:17:24before so again the search area correct
- 3:17:27the search area what we had located and
- 3:17:30maybe a little bit of better definition
- 3:17:33a different angle for sure
- 3:17:36um and this obviously just a little bit
- 3:17:38shortly after we had located the parts
- 3:17:42okay and let's flip the page to page 127
- 3:17:49What area in exhibit 127 is the remains
- 3:17:53or how would you describe it um where
- 3:17:55you see the person wearing blue at the
- 3:17:58bottom of the photograph kind of towards
- 3:18:00the center of it if you go up on the
- 3:18:02page you see a a green tree and then
- 3:18:05above that you see I'd say it looks red
- 3:18:08in the photograph um you you can see a
- 3:18:11outline you can see a human leg in there
- 3:18:14okay and let's flip to page
- 3:18:18128 imagine finding that evidence that
- 3:18:21is so horrifying and they never found
- 3:18:24the rest of Christa halderson only her
- 3:18:27full right leg and part of her left leg
- 3:18:32how would you describe exhibit
- 3:18:34128 what I had found for human remains
- 3:18:37okay just a closer up view correct um
- 3:18:41and at this point did you think it was
- 3:18:42one leg two legs or something else I
- 3:18:45didn't stick around long enough have to
- 3:18:47figure it out sure and why was that cuz
- 3:18:49it's gross fair enough um you called the
- 3:18:53medical exam correct I notified the
- 3:18:56Sheriff's Office what we what I had
- 3:18:58located and it's theirs to take over
- 3:19:00from that point
- 3:19:03sure um exhibit 129 is that just a
- 3:19:08further zoomed in view
- 3:19:13correct turning to exhibit 130
- 3:19:18is that the general area of the
- 3:19:21location yeah um it looks to be a lot of
- 3:19:25the Riverway down there looks very
- 3:19:26similar to that but you can see kind of
- 3:19:29out in the Waterway you can see that
- 3:19:31piece of sand out there uh that's very
- 3:19:33consistent with that portion of the
- 3:19:35Riverway there's an island out there all
- 3:19:38right um and then flipping finally to
- 3:19:42exhibit
- 3:19:44131 we have a picture of a singular tree
- 3:19:48mhmm um now in the background of exhibit
- 3:19:51131 um there's a white tent what is the
- 3:19:56white tent the white tent is where the
- 3:19:57human remains were located okay um and
- 3:20:01now I'm going
- 3:20:03to at some point during this
- 3:20:06investigation where you showed pictures
- 3:20:07of a young man hanging from a tree I I
- 3:20:11at least remember him being next to the
- 3:20:13tree I think with his foot up next to it
- 3:20:15yes okay fair enough I'm going to show
- 3:20:17you what we've previously seen as
- 3:20:20exhibits 123 and
- 3:20:25124 are one or both of those the
- 3:20:28pictures that you were shown in the
- 3:20:30course of this investigation of this
- 3:20:31tree uh picture 123 is yes I do not
- 3:20:34recall 124 okay fair enough so picture
- 3:20:38123 the one leg up M um and in looking
- 3:20:43around that area did you recognize this
- 3:20:46location
- 3:20:48yeah it appeared to be closer to the
- 3:20:49River from where we had been located at
- 3:20:53um where we had found the human
- 3:20:56remains okay and you found a tree that
- 3:20:58at least looked consistent with the tree
- 3:21:00pictured in exhibit 123 yes I was a
- 3:21:03forestry major at w Stevens Point so
- 3:21:05I've been around trees a little bit and
- 3:21:07I was able to look at the photograph and
- 3:21:09figure out it was a elm tree or at least
- 3:21:11appeared to be an elm tree and then
- 3:21:12there's a a DOT or a knob on the bottom
- 3:21:15of the tree that's very consistent with
- 3:21:17the photograph that you just showed me
- 3:21:19there okay Warden um I just have a one
- 3:21:24or two basic questions about oh well
- 3:21:28that white tent area the place where the
- 3:21:30human remains were found how far away is
- 3:21:32it from that
- 3:21:35tree roughly roughly I'd say
- 3:21:38approximately 100 maybe 120 yards okay
- 3:21:43does the DNR have a dive team no
- 3:21:47um does the DNR ever have civilians
- 3:21:50participate in searches in the water and
- 3:21:53in a diving
- 3:21:54capacity I don't know
- 3:21:59okay uh no further questions cross
- 3:22:03examinations good afternoon
- 3:22:06Warden I heard you use the word
- 3:22:09consistent when describing the tree in
- 3:22:12the photograph with the man and the tree
- 3:22:14that you found on the banks of of the
- 3:22:16Wisconsin River is that right yes so
- 3:22:20it's fair to assume that your testimony
- 3:22:22isn't that it is absolutely the same
- 3:22:25tree your testimony is that it's
- 3:22:28consistent it looks to be the same Tree
- 3:22:30to me but
- 3:22:32you where does that line of questioning
- 3:22:34go maybe they're just showing you see
- 3:22:35we're working hard over here see that
- 3:22:38Chann because I mean there's a photo of
- 3:22:41him at that tree which is it's very
- 3:22:43unique looking and then 100 yards or 91
- 3:22:47M away are Christa's partial remains so
- 3:22:52I think it's the same tree yeah there's
- 3:22:54the word consistent correct if that's
- 3:22:57what you're saying then I probably did
- 3:22:59yes you don't know for certain that
- 3:23:01that's the same tree I can't say for
- 3:23:03certain that it's the same tree but it
- 3:23:04looks to me like it is the same
- 3:23:06tree now you can you can say can you say
- 3:23:10that though that photograph was taken
- 3:23:12very close in time to when you saw the
- 3:23:15tree
- 3:23:17which photograph are you talking about
- 3:23:18the photograph of the young man that you
- 3:23:20compared to the trees in the area I
- 3:23:23don't know when that photograph was
- 3:23:24taken I think I had been told maybe it
- 3:23:27was like a year before um but I don't
- 3:23:30recall for sure so your information as
- 3:23:33to when that photograph was taken comes
- 3:23:36from what you were told not in your tree
- 3:23:38analysis skills
- 3:23:40correct can you repeat that question
- 3:23:42please sure the tree that you found
- 3:23:45that's cons consistent to the tree in
- 3:23:47the
- 3:23:51photograph you don't know whether that
- 3:23:54photograph was taken the same year as
- 3:23:56you found that tree or a different year
- 3:23:58that you found the tree based on what
- 3:24:00you were able to observe on the tree
- 3:24:02that you found correct correct they're
- 3:24:05trees repeat it again exactly like that
- 3:24:08pop quiz everyone repeat that question
- 3:24:11verbatim that'll be difficult so that
- 3:24:14tree that you found that wouldn't be in
- 3:24:16the same time of year as the tree that
- 3:24:18you found that you think is consistent
- 3:24:19with the tree that you saw in that
- 3:24:21photograph is it now like what don't
- 3:24:23have dates on them I would not be able
- 3:24:25to see exactly when the picture was to
- 3:24:28everything else so yeah no thank you any
- 3:24:32redirect no your honor may this witness
- 3:24:34be excused and released he may and would
- 3:24:37you like me to collect the
- 3:24:39exhibits thank you have a good rest of

- 3:25:48with the other Medics and the um rest of
- 3:25:53the sheriff's deputies and that morning

- 3:26:21instructed us to break down into some
- 3:26:23smaller groups or teams and then um you

- 3:26:36wooded area um so trees was the grass
- 3:26:40short high something else yeah there's
- 3:26:42lots of trees it's right off of the
- 3:26:43Wisconsin River so there's plenty of
- 3:26:45water around to little pockets of ponds
- 3:26:48and stuff like that um you know I don't

- 3:29:12Year Giza thank you so much and to you
- 3:29:14to to the
- 3:29:18um this is a picture of the grassy
- 3:29:21wooded area uh the area that we were
- 3:29:24searching that day along the Wisconsin
- 3:29:26River okay and why don't we move on to
- 3:29:29exhibit
- 3:29:32133 what are we looking at
- 3:29:35here um this is looks like the area
- 3:29:39where we found the stuff in the pictures
- 3:29:41it's the maybe like the first part of
- 3:29:43where we initially found the stuff in
- 3:29:47the pictures and did you first see that
- 3:29:50what you found smell it or something
- 3:29:52else um my first indication in the area
- 3:29:55was the smell okay let's turn to exhibit
- 3:30:03134 how would you describe exhibit
- 3:30:06134 uh this is just a kind of a
- 3:30:08different view of uh there was almost a
- 3:30:11little separation between the two
- 3:30:13different um
- 3:30:17uh places where we found the uh stuff
- 3:30:20that we were looking for all right
- 3:30:23exhibit
- 3:30:25135 so this is a a closer up picture of
- 3:30:28the first item that we found
- 3:30:31um that was in that area that day
- 3:30:36okay and turn the page to
- 3:30:43136 and this is a closeup picture of the
- 3:30:46kind of the second items that we found
- 3:30:49that day searching that wooded area and
- 3:30:52what was the distance if any between
- 3:30:54exhibits between what you found in
- 3:30:56exhibit 135 and exhibit
- 3:31:00136 um a rough estimate of maybe 30
- 3:31:03yards
- 3:31:06okay all right let's turn to
- 3:31:10137 is that the same thing that we were
- 3:31:12looking at in exhibit 135 correct
- 3:31:18and again 138 just a different view
- 3:31:22correct what did you do once you had you
- 3:31:26and your team had found these
- 3:31:29parts uh so we were you know as we're
- 3:31:32searching the wooded areas were spread
- 3:31:33out to cover more ground but you know
- 3:31:36within sight of each other and making
- 3:31:38sure that we're you know doing the
- 3:31:39methodical search uh once we encountered
- 3:31:42these and decided that it was not um
- 3:31:46that it was maybe something of Interest
- 3:31:48then I immediately called our team
- 3:31:50commander and alerted him that there was
- 3:31:52something here that the detectives
- 3:31:54should probably come take a look at so
- 3:31:56then we kind of just stopped so we
- 3:31:57didn't disturb the area anymore and had
- 3:32:00more people come down to take over and
- 3:32:03were you part of the team that marked
- 3:32:05the area with flags or no um I I don't
- 3:32:09remember whose idea that was but there
- 3:32:10was kind of this path along the wooded
- 3:32:13area that was easier to get in and out
- 3:32:15of instead of walking around so we did
- 3:32:17kind of a couple of us put some Flags in
- 3:32:18to mark an area that we all came in at
- 3:32:21the same point and is that an attempt to
- 3:32:24disrupt the scene as little as possible
- 3:32:26that was our thoughts yeah
- 3:32:32okay and what how would you describe
- 3:32:36what you
- 3:32:38found uh
- 3:32:41initially There Was You know the smell
- 3:32:44of it and then as we got closer um we'll
- 3:32:48use
- 3:32:49picture uh
- 3:32:51137 uh that morning when we were told to
- 3:32:54go search we weren't given specifics as
- 3:32:57to what we were searching for just
- 3:32:58anything of interest um it being a
- 3:33:01wooded area it was not immediately
- 3:33:03apparent that that what that would have
- 3:33:05been um a smaller piece so uh that's
- 3:33:09when another member that was out
- 3:33:11searching kind of went closer and at
- 3:33:12first we couldn't quite determine what
- 3:33:14that piece was cuz it was separated from
- 3:33:16the picture
- 3:33:18in it was like 30 yards I said from 136
- 3:33:23we didn't see that first we saw first in
- 3:33:25the 137 so it wasn't immediately
- 3:33:28apparent what it was until we found the
- 3:33:29other piece that then that was more
- 3:33:32apparent as to what that would be and
- 3:33:34what do you believe it was was body
- 3:33:37parts looks like a foot and a leg
- 3:33:42okay no further questions cross

- 3:36:41uh I was present uh and I had taken
- 3:36:43photo documentation of those it as that
- 3:36:46happened can you describe the process
- 3:36:48how were they
- 3:36:49collected uh the medical examiner office
- 3:36:52had uh completed the collection of them
