A user by the name "harry nac" has tried to claim that this video is plagiarized from another content creator, Kimbyrleigha. This is untrue. Research for this video did not include watching any other true crime you tubers content, as not to get biased information or misinformation. Instead, we watched the entire trial, as it was publicly available on the Law & Crime channel, and read various articles about this case. It also cannot be true, seeing as the Kimbyrleigha's series on this case was released over the span of the last 2 weeks, with the final part uploaded 6 days ago. Making it impossible for us to have used it in our research on the entire trial. We are leaving this comment now, seeing as "harry nac" spammed multiple comments with false information, and it's important to us to be clear about our research and integrity. We have since blocked "harry" from commenting on our channel, but if anyone has any further questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments under this. Thank you.
Plagiarizing? The story played out the way it played out, the facts are the facts & are easy to obtain. By that standard anyone at all who speaks of it is plagiarizing.... The courts I guess? Gosh some people are stupid 🤦🏻♀️
The worst thing to me is that if he came clean, I'm sure these parents would have done everything in their power to help him get on his feet. They absolutely did not need to die.
I have parents like this and when I was 18 I was being dishonest about my performance in college, and being caught felt like the end of the world. They were really disappointed in me… but within a week were brainstorming ways with me that I could get back up and do better, including getting me a tutor at one point. It came with some stricter guidelines, but I came out one year later, so much more successful by being honest and getting help. It makes this case so much harder to watch because I think that in another universe he could’ve turned out the same way
@@abes3925 nah it’s fairly obvious that these parents are not that kind… they’re very involved in their children and wanted them around and too know what was going on. They had already bent over backwards trying fo help him so I don’t doubt they would’ve helped if he had asked and admitted everything. Especially his mother. And he wasn’t even close too 30,he was 22 and had plenty of time to turn this all around and get his life together. I think he was absolutely clueless on how to turn his life around because all his problems could’ve been solved by simply getting a job.. even a shitty one and re enrolling in college. It’s ridiculous how easy he could’ve turned this around with a bit of honesty..
Yeah! It’s so weird because he traded lying to his parents for lying to the police. There would have been no serious consequences when his lies were eventually exposed. It’s like he killed his parents instead of disappointing them/embarrassing himself, just senseless.
Chandler: At 12:08am I stubbed my toe on a 3 inch thick light grey stool that my mom bought at Michaels in February of 2016, then I went in to the cookie jar and searched for the perfect cookie about 3 1/2 minutes, I was going to eat it but saw a spider so I went and got a light brown broom that smelled lightly of mohagony and chestnut....I'm sorry my memory is bad. I need a colostomy bag. The detectives: 👁️👄👁️
This dude put more work into his fake work life than I think i've ever put into an actual job. With all the energy he was pouring into it he could have easily put instead into an actual job.
That's the thing, though. He didn't want to actually work. Everyone keeps saying this, but that defeats the point. He did not want to work. He did not want to be a productive member of society. He wanted to be taken care of, whilst putting on a front to people outside of his immediate family. So, obviously* he would put more effort into looking good rather than actually taking responsibility.
@@donttalktomylovedones4544 True...he just wanted to play video games all day. So he killed his parents because they told him no. His brain never developed it seems.
Not gonna lie, that's like the one thing I'll give Chandler props for. He was so dedicated to this lie that he was doing something as risky as pretending to be someone else when talking to his dad. His dad even commented on his notes how much the "advisor" sounded like Chandler.
Imagine being those detectives, sitting through that whole thing, and being like "cool story bro. Now what really happened." That took some serious patience.
To be fair, it's kinda required for detectives to hear the whole story. No matter how ridiculous. Making arrests before letting him finish is ill advised I've looked up.
Its there job to catch him in a lie so they use that against him in court .If they just start accusing him they know he will shut down and talk less or ask for a lawyer like everyone person should do weather you are guilty or inocent. Most of these people are narcissist and think they can out smart them .He wasn't getting away with regardless because of the cell phones gps
I know. All that work he had to do setting up fake email accounts and writing fake letters and creating fake school certificates. Then after the murders he had a HUGE amount of cleaning to do, and holes to dig. 🕳️🕳️ I really couldn’t murder anyone, I’m too lazy for all that work. It’s so much easier to attend the college course and take the exams! 😂
That’s being a man, sounds like this kid was too scared to take up any responsibilities and thought playing make believe with his buds online will work out in the end. Look where he’s at now 🤦🏾♂️
I agree completely. His brother is the forgotten victim here. He has to live his life without his parents and with his murdering brother in prison. I hope the best for him.
Hopefully he had a steady partner or spouse and has a family with they're family. My dad died and I only have my sister and mom as my family (no extended family that I'm close with) and I'm very blessed because my husband has a big family that now I get to share and enjoy 😍 so blessed.. can only hope chandlers brother has a similar blessing
im so sorry but "i made shrimp scampi for my dad, but we didn't have shrimp, so I made shrimpless scampi" is one of the unintentionally funniest things I've ever heard
Based on what google is telling me, shrimpless scampi is either a spiced butter sauce or perhaps some buttery noodles 😂 or perhaps he's referring to the actual crustacean scampi??
@@Walczyke was a desperate loser, that strung out lies to play video games. His lies weren’t even intelligent lie, it’s just nobody cared enough to doubt him. It was a poorly planned murder and he stood zero chance of getting away with it.
His level of immaturity astounds me. A 23 year old man talking about being "put to bed", "couldn't get a hold of any of my friends to play with", "slept in the couch fort", "Kat didn't like sleeping on the couch", "Kat came to help me with the dogs" (as though he would need help feeding two small dogs), "she realised my legs were such, so she had me sleep and put me to bed"- it is almost creepy the way he infantiles himself.
It wasn't so much that he was "infantilizing himself", but it was more that he was faking a serious brain injury that he claimed to have, and supposedly prevented him from doing basic stuff, like lifting things or driving. Also, the couch fort thing was actually pretty scary: at the trial, the prosecutors claimed that Chandler had his ex-gf sleep with him in that couch rather than a bed, because he had his parents' dismembered bodies in a freezer. And Chandler needed to see and control her every move that night, lest she opened that freezer and discovered the bodies. He would've definitely murdered her as well if she did.
@@jimmycrackkorn1596 When Chandler killed his father, Chandler texted his mother that his father's phone was dead and also told her to get him a soda. She replied "k :)" which is short for "ok" accompanied by a smiley face. Then, when she came home, he killed her as well.
The amount of sadness I feel for the mom right now…. Her last text to her son being “k :)” and bringing him a soda, just for him to murder her in cold blood. The father knew what was up. That’s why he pushed so hard at the uni lie. So sad.
I know, I feel sad for so many people in this but his mother seemed so kind and like she genuinely just wanted to make her children happy. What a miserable way to repay her love.
@@Vi_Vi_1 some people are cant imagine what its like to have parents that don't care at all/ this case just hits me and I keep coming back to it. Chandler seems so lost here, and almost full of regret. I wonder between killing his father and waiting for mom to return, did he consider stopping the whole roll of events? I guess we may never know. Too many people are getting killed at their retirement! Leave the people alone! let the live wtf
For some reason him asking her to pick up soda for him, right after he murdered his father, is one of the more sinister parts of this story to me. The lack of emotion is astounding
If you sense someone is compulsively lying to you, NEVER back them into a corner. Compulsive lying is a narcissistic trait and these people will lose it if they feel trapped or found out.
Compulsive lying is indeed a narcissistic trait, but that does not mean all compulsive liars are narcissists and therefore means not all liars will kill when backed into a corner. Just felt I had to add this.
I agree 10000% but it had to be rough territory when that person is your child... Because a parents job is to instill honesty and accountability. Ugh. So sad and so unnecessary. Heartbreaking.
If you ever find out that someone you know has been lying about being in enrolled in school, run. There are so many cases of murderers who lied about their schooling. SO many.
Surprising to me how many "young adults" lie about being in college to their parents, friends, people they date, and prospective jobs or associates. I would say it's much more common than most think. It's pretty easy to check if someone is in a university, if you know the person's name, and the name of the university.
@@jon35693 that's a great point. Although, I'm sure there are instances of amazing parents and the student still deciding to lie for whatever reason. What surprised me is how common this sort of lie is!
The interview of his girlfriend is heartbreaking She was so sweet and helped him so much through his fake ailments and truly loved his parents and had no clue he was capable of this
Yes! You can see the change in her demeanor when she testifed. I hope she receives the help and support she deserves. I hope she doesn't lose her silliness and way of joking around. She is genuinely a kind person and I wish her nothing but the best.
@@Mezmerize64 the way she jokingly offered the Pooh plush a drink of water in her interview 😢 Such a sweet woman who got caught up in something horrible
This is boggling he refused to grow up. He makes statements like “Kat put me to bed” “My dad sent me to my room” “There was no tv time” “She’s (Kat) is planning on feeding me” It’s wild. He has the mentality of a child with the actions of a full grown monster. His text messages with Kat are online somewhere & after seeing her personality via interview & trial I believe she was just comfortable with him. He did nothing for her, feel like she was a giver and Chandler is a textbook leech. Kat should be thriving now that this load isn’t weighing her down.
@@EncompassingChaos6 lmao I didn’t catch that. After “Kat put me to sleep after she fed me” my sanity went out the window, sooo I may have missed this one
The choices with his lies were also very much like a child would come up with. Space X for the imaginary job, brain bleed and the jumble of symptoms and repercussions he came up with. His development was stunted at some point, for reasons I'd love to know. He sounds so depressed and flat in every audio available, but from what was said at sentencing it seems like he refused any evaluations or discussion that may have provided some mitigation.
My sentiments exactly! I couldn’t sit through his monotonous lies but that’s how these narcissistic sociopathic people get caught in the own predicament…
Did you know that this is their job? 🤯🤯🤯🤯 they talk to all sorts of insane, awkward, highly educated, not educated, narcissistic, bipolar individuals all the time. Individuals who murder have all sorts of issues and this is the detectives job.
Lol right? I noticed that when I first saw it too and it made me laugh...that cop didn't give a fuck what his answer was and couldn't be bothered to listen...I don't blame him.
lol. My little brother pretended to go to college for a year, but he didn't put this much effort into it. It sounds like he worked harder to pretend to work than he would have actually working. Strange.
I keep hearing stories that include "pretended to go to college" or "pretended to have a job". I feel like this is something new bc I don't remember this happening say 20 years ago. Is it a generational thing I wonder? Like is the young 20's age group feeling pressure to succeed or grow up that previous generations did not? Is that why your brother did it? I'm sorry to get so personal but I'm very curious about this
@@tiffanye9776 I know people in their 40s and 60s that pretended to go to college. It's not a new phenomenon, but it does seem like I hear more stories these days of kids faking going to college. There is definitely too much pressure on young people to be successful, imo.
@@tiffanye9776 It's definitely not a new thing. For my little brother it came down to the fact that my parents essentially said the only way you can stay here is if you're going to school. They'd never kick him out though. He still lives with them in fact, but that ultimatum felt very real at first so he pretended to go to school for a year; which basically meant he was just hanging out at the mall all day. I don't get it, but I think he felt like there was only so few things he could do.
Honestly his girlfriend is going to need YEARS of therapy after this mess. Imagine thinking you were engaged to an engineer or something at SpaceX and looking at apartments to put a deposit on in another state…and really he was a lazy, compulsive liar who would rather work at lies and murder than anything productive. Heck, if I was one of his gamer friends I’d need therapy! They all managed to have jobs and family no problem, I’m sure they assumed he did too! Hurt more lives than just his poor parents.
I think this is an important point. The scary thing about Chandler for me is that he reminds me of a lot of the cheating, lying, lazy gamer dudes I've dated in the past. Totally self consumed and addicted to screens. He seems familiar and common to me, and that terrified me. I've been in therapy for a long time for the level and quantify of lies they told me.
Cute poosay too, wtf?!? Makes no sense! The Amato demon never even slept next to a girl! To be fair Amato looked like an Auschwitz survivor… wtf these guy……
@@misterkingdom3571 Some people in general have low standards. Women, statistically, have higher standards than men - not that women with low standards don't exist! The reasons for women statistically having higher standards are plenty, some less concrete than others. Most obvious reason to me is being that women tend to have more "choosing power" over who their partner could be. It is of course not a hard-and-fast rule, but women tend to choose their male partners and tend marry upwards on most metrics. Statistics are often misleading, but this one is just the way that it generally is.
i get anxiety when i open someones mail that was accidentally sent to my address, i couldnt fucking imagine trying to juggle colossal lie after lie like that lmfao
@ Unlimited Protection: Omg YES! Chandler is a real tweety bird. He’s taken lying to a whole new and frightening level. I can’t believe he actually thought he’d get away with murdering and hacking up his parents. Space cadet too.
Can you imagine the anxiety of living in constant fear your lies will be found out? The best thing the judge in this case said was something along the lines of "i have to make sure that the next time you are in society is for the privilege of a burial you denied your parents " ..i saw someone comment that quote in another video and it is, as they said , very profound.
Actually yes. I did something similar when I was suffering from an eating disorder. While I had a job, loads of my savings were blown on feeding my compulsions, and I was forever making up lies about where I was going or people I was meeting with to avoid people questioning why they wouldn't see me eat anything. The weight it places on you is insane. I remember considering running away at my lowest point but I never considered hurting my loved ones, even when my lies inevitably collapsed all around me. I remember being fascinated with this case because it I could relate to living this other fake life and having to stack lies upon lies, with the constant fear that I'd be found out and nobody would ever take me seriously again and consider me a failure at life, which my ego just couldn't handle. He was clearly very insecure about his own place in life, even while wanting everyone to do things for him. He saw his brother with a good job and respected by his parents and not how his made up job was in a similar field but even more impressive (it wasn't like he was lying about working in KFC). The difference was in how he chose to handle it. No matter how he felt, his actions were cold and cruel. He had no shred of remorse, even long after the act, even when interacting with grieving relatives. Many of us have had to face up to the consequences of doing bad things or exposed for not being as great as we have sold ourselves to be, but we don't become killers to mask that insecurity. Just utterly evil, I can't think of another word for it.
I am sure there are a little bit more to this story. His parents seemed very controlling, even though killing them was another destructive way of taking care of his problems
@youparejo but he was 24.. move tf out if you hate it so bad. I think his parents were loving and he's a liar. He is probably lying about being "grounded" and "sent to his room" but that's just my opinion. He lied about his Mom not liking his gf Cat, afterall. All bc he didn't want them to talk to eachother and figure him out. He bought the gun he used a year prior to the m*rders from a friend on fb messenger. He planned this for some time. Plenty enough time to move out... His gf Cat's mom even offered to let him move in to their house, rent free.
His parents were controlling because he kept taking help and not showing any results for all the effort they were putting in to raising an adult baby. He wanted to be a kid forever and was able to get his parents to continue treating him like he was 14.
No flak intended here, but i kind of wish that after like two hours of the interrogation you had added a brief summary of the evidence against him. Kinda easy to forget in all of his rambling. Or maybe interrupt him every so often to point out a piece of evidence that contradicts his story.
I did that myself yelling at this dude how incredibly brain dead everything he says and does comes across. How far removed from common sense does one need to be to believe they will get away with a double murder of their parents and then act like all three stooges simultaneously in an effort to cover up their deed.
@@buckrogers6378 I was yelling too:) him and the mundane details. Did he think telling them that he put on yellow socks at 2:30 on Thursday when family feud was on tv would help him get away with murder? Or maybe he thought he could bore them to death with unnecessary details. Then we get to the good part after 2 hours and it just STOPPED. 🤬 I wanted hear them ask him real questions. Oh well
I love how the detective asks how he’s doing when he walks into the interrogation room and Chandler says “Not good” and the detective says “good, good!”
He delivers his entire story in an emotionless monotone, and then the ONLY time he shows emotion is to talk enviously about his brother at the very end. Chilling.
I've viewed hours and hours of video on this fascinating case including the full court proceedings in their entirety. Your video is right up there with the best of them, brother. Your narrative, production, editing, etc. are all extraordinarily well done, and you deserve kudos for the solid efforts you put into this. Great job, man!
Grizzly True Crime is covering this case over 10 day (deleting all non-useful into, like lunches, breaks etc) it’s amazing 🤩 Glad I found this channel too!
How was he not in a full panic attack everyday lying like that? Just waiting to be found out. Years of knowing that at any second, someone could expose him. Keeping stories and names straight. He could’ve gone to med school if he would’ve redirected his energy into legitimately working. I’m shocked. Lying is exhausting.
I remember back in 97 I was reading a book about Jeffrey Dahmer and I dreamt that I had murdered someone, the dream was me and my friends walking around a K MART the following day after I had killed someone, I was trying to not let my friends know I had done anything the previous night , I would excuse myself from the group to go find somewhere to have a panic attack , I then woke up sweating profusely . It felt so real , this was just a dream and I was freaking out , I can't imagine how anyone could live day to day with that guilt and the constant anxiety of being caught. But usually people who do stuff like this are psychopaths and don't feel empathetic or guilt for there actions.
@@andysalter7192 @Little Flower -- You guys are both so right. I imagine life would be like this for people who actually got away with murder too, and didn't even have a hundred other insanely difficult lies to pull off every day. Like Stephanie Lazarus, that crazy L.A.P.D. detective who was obsessed with her ex boyfriend and murdered his new wife, Sherri, and got away with it while the case went cold for 23 years (you guys have got to check out the JCS video explaining and analysing her capture and interrogation if you haven't already! She is paaanicking). Like how could anybody, including Chandler, ever live in peace again just looking over your shoulder all the time or wondering if that knock on the door is the cops? Or the cops literally working at the desk right near yours who are reopening cold cases including the one you're guilty of? @Andy Salter you're definitely onto something - murderers who are psychopaths generally think they'll get away with it because of their own narcissistic personality and inflated ego. They think they're smarter than everybody else. Also, like... imagine the serial killer Gary Ridgway - The Green River Killer. He was living a double life where he held down a job and lived with his wife, all the while committing and getting away with 48 separate murders between the years 1982-1998. He HAD to have seen news reports or something coming out about the advancement of forensic science and DNA technology and how cold cases were being solved and active killers were being caught. Can you imagine absolutely sh*tting yourself realising technology you never knew would exist could catch you any moment now?
Okay so I can’t decide if he’s a psychopath or a sociopath. But lying comes naturally. And it’s hubris that makes him think that he could have gotten away with it.
It's a bit of a sunk cost situation. Lying again is easier than confessing, and you repeat until you're 30 lies deep. The existential fear of confronting how unsustainable your situation is can get so bad that you trick yourself into continuing because it's easier to pretend the situation will resolve.
I can not believe he thought his parents were strict. I mean, seriously, what kind of strict helicopter parent would let those flimsy excuses about the transcript and paychecks slide for more than 5 minutes. He was so lucky to have 2 loving parents but favored murder over feeling an ounce of shame for his lie.
It pains me a lot to see he could deceive his parents with Gmail accounts. Had they realized big corporations and institutions don't use the Gmail domain, this could have ended different.
I think it’s because he had never been subjected to those kinds of feelings and they were so scary to him he preferred to kill rather than feel it. The brain is a very very powerful thing esp in people like this 😬
@@charliehilbrantI'm on your 6 of my 10 years of studying psychopathy plan. And it is like a tall cool drink of water in the desert to have this knowledge, when it comes to understanding baffling things people will do to each other.
I appreciate the fact that you keep your videos strictly-audio for the most part, not all of us can watch videos while at work but we can definitely listen!
hearing the smiley face text reply his mom gave broke me The fact that he sent her a text asking to stop and get him soda, knowing full well he would consuming them after HE murdered her, her husband already dead, and her unknowing happy reply... what an absolute monster :(
Absolutely. A mother happy to bring home a tasty beverage because her son asked her to, completely unaware he was planning to butcher her. Hard to wrap one's mind around.
@@wasabi622 I would loved to have a mom like that. He didn't care for nothing. She was a good woman, poor woman had a leg found, that's all. I hope he is haunted by the description of his father and what he did. Seemed like such decent people. Chandler , just a fucker!!! AND he had a nice GF too!? poor people. ....all of them
Couch forts, video games, saying other adults "fed me" and "put me to bed"...it truly is disgusting how he felt no shame being a grown man desperately trying to live as a 9 year old.
Aint no problem with any of this. Issue comes when you're leeching off of folks *and* doing this. I can still get behind a good couch-fort myself, and I, personally haven't thought of murdering anyone.
@@kandykane2160 My point is, that's ALL he did. His plan was to be babied and play by either his mom or by Cat, and video games all day, every day, forever.
I've come back to this case so many times. It's just so bizarre. This boy saw things that were so beyond horrific- burned, decomposing, and dismembered pieces of parents strewn about the house- and he has the willpower to keep up what I presume to be the same act he's been doing for years by this point. He just babbles on, purposefully mixing up details to try and confuse the listener, because he thinks it will let him go play video game again. To think that his parents and girlfriend all put up with this annoying demeanor for years is a testament to how kind they all are/were. I mean, seriously *listen;* this dude SLAUGHTERED his parents. He did things that most killers couldn't even bring themselves to consider. He committed acts more grizzly than you or I could ever conceive of committing- and yet, here he sits, speaking in a dull, monotone voice, saying essentially nothing. And when it isn't nothing, it's a lie. And to think that the defense team couldn't find ONE example of people saying anything bad about the Halderson parents. Literally EVERYONE in this comments section has people who would talk shit about you under some set of circumstances, and the Haldersons simply DIDN'T. One of the most insane cases of the 21st century so far. Chandler Halderson, Joel Guy Jr., and Grant Amato could have been anyone they wanted to be. And here we are, watching the reality they chose to weave
It’s so scary to think that a child you gave birth to, raised, supported and wholeheartedly LOVED could just murder you.. snuff your life out.. it’s just sad 😔
And he shot them in the back too. They probably didn't die immediately, they probably had a short bit of time to contemplate that Chandler did this to them as they faded away.
I love the beginning of the interogation where the officer asks "hey Chandler, how ya doing?", Chandler says "Not good", and the officer responded "Good, good"
I knew a dude like Chandler when I was in college. He told everyone he was a triple major in math, chemistry and physics. He was actually still undeclared like many of us. He also told everyone he had been valedictorian at his high school which no one ever believed, because we weren't the kind of college with many valedictorians, lol. He told some people he had published books, that his best friend was a billionaire with a helicopter who could pick him up anytime he wanted. When we told him to call her right then (because we knew he was a liar) he insisted he just didn't want to show off. Once most people in the dorm had figured out he was a liar, his lies got dark. He started faking throat cancer (while still performing in the school's acapella group, lmao) and even made a tiny cut on his neck and pretended he had throat surgery. Someone looked up the surgery and told him it would have been done without making a cut and this dude threw a literal tantrum and had to be dragged away by the cops. Oh, and he wasn't there the next year because the supposed full scholarship he said he had was also a lie. He had conned an old lady into paying for his schooling with a lie about an internship with NASA, but she found out he never even went to class once and pulled the plug on the money. I lived across the hall from that dude. There are so many other stories. If I found out he did something similar to what Chandler did, I wouldn't be surprised in the least.
There's actually a mental disorder called pseudologia fantastica that causes a person to lie compulsively. The person I'm about to reference was never diagnosed that I'm aware, but I discovered the disorder while researching why someone would lie for no reason... I once worked with a man who lied about literally everything. He said his mother was a millionaire, that she owned a bed & breakfast in a castle, that she was a surgeon, his sister was a radiologist, his father was a physician, and both his grandparents were physicians. His grandmother was in the hospital due to symptoms of a heart attack and he took a private jet to visit her. I could go on and on. If his lips were moving, he was lying.
my jaw actually dropped when you revealed that chandler made up all of that. i can't believe someone would do that to their family. the faking the college thing isn't /that/ bad but telling your family you'll become disabled??? as someone who actually did fall down the stairs and receive head trauma, i can't believe anyone would do that. I feel like such a burden to my family all the time and he thought of that as an ideal life? truly a twisted individual istg
Listen to his dad’s call. You can see the gears turning in his head as he goes from anger to shock. Literally made me sick. I think I’d crumble if I was him, the fact he stayed straight faced made me nauseous
I too fell down a flight of stairs. I now have a seizure disorder for the rest of my life, from blunt force head trauma. It's not something to take lightly or lie about.
I suffered a severe closed head injury with brain hemorrhage from having my head bashed with a baseball bat during a home invasion. Head injuries are no joke, it left my life as I knew it in utter ruin and 20 years later I am still deeply effected by it every day. After the human genome was mapped the brain has been said to be the final frontier of human biology. Brain injuries are one of the weaker understood areas of medicine right now, I have been very disappointed with the lack of any actual treatments out there that could ever actually make any real permanent difference to my suffering. It makes me sick that this man capitalized on that, and would fake disability. Every wretched person like him hurts everyone who is legitimately suffering with these ailments, as encountering them makes doctors trust what their patients are reporting to them less, and in many cases reporting is the only actual way to diagnose. Granted, this guy literally killed his parents and chopped them up, after asking his mom to bring him some soda and her ultra sweet "k :)" response so his being capable of doing this is not especially surprising. Still infuriating on a personal level. Fist bump to my fellow survivors though. Keep on going, one day at a time.
@@amandamcintire4808 I am so sorry to hear that. I have only had a few seizures since my head injury and I believe they are completely under control from medication. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to keep having them for the rest of my life. It is insanely scary to suddenly lose complete control with little to no notice. I hope yours end up under control in the near future.
It is horrible, but people use fake or exaggerated illnesses to get out of all kinds of things. Other videos, and maybe this one as I skipped around while watching, note that his brother had a recent, true health scare, and Chandler likely saw the usual “sick role” that is fine when someone is truly ill, where the sick person is exempted from responsibilities, cared for and with others letting the person know they are appreciated for just being themselves, apart from their work/chore role. The faker gets all of the “perks” of a health crisis without the huge drawbacks that outweighs them for real injuries, and so sadly not that surprising it happens if the person is okay with habitually lying.
The most fascinating thing about malignant narcissists, imo, is how much they underestimate the empathy of normal people - how well we know each others' temperaments and habits, how quickly we sense an emergency and spring into action, how we will stop at nothing to find a missing person. Somehow they think we'll just get bored of looking and it will all blow over. Chilling.
I thought about this. These supposed "convenient explanations" that he always seems to have always fail to take into account how people would actually act
“of normal people” Immediately I can litmus test this entire statement as stupidity. It seems the self proclaimed “normal people” have built a complex for themselves.
Turning his girlfriend's mom against his parents in order to manipulate her into taking him in. Imagine if his girlfriend or her mom had investigated his lies, what he'd have done to either of them...
I’ve never heard a grown man talk about being “put to bed” or “fed” like he does. He sure liked the idea of being incontinent, too. He infantilizes himself and I bet he’s been doing it for a long time. Gross.
This isn’t an interrogation, this is the way you talk to a toddler when you’re trying to find out who got into the flour and spilled it all over the kitchen floor
They really didn't need to interrogate him. They basically had him dead to rights. All they had to do was get him to spew as many lies as possible so that he couldn't weasel his way out with new explanations once they revealed that they knew he was lying.
Everyone has different relationships with their family. He’s a horrible piece of shit and I am not defending him, but not all of us would be sad that our parent is missing just fyi.
@@CAMELFLAM He was JUST about to finish the reusable rocket boosters that Elon Musk personally requested he was put in charge of developing. Oh and he also just got a side gig at NASA because of his extremely vast knowledge of physics. But his wage was due to a clerical error calculated as an hourly wage instead of a monthly salary. That's why he is due a payment of 1 million millions USD in 2 weeks, Dad! His lies were like those of a little kid, he clearly had something wrong about him mentally from the start lol
I can't believe he was smart enough to pull off all those lies but not smart enough to ask, "What does all this have to do with my parents being missing?" and then immediately lawyering up. How does he just ramble the way he does and not think it's weird? If my parents were missing I wouldn't expect them to want a detailed play by play of all my activities for DAYS if I had nothing to do with it.
@@tazerface8659 It's funny because I've watched some where they have a lawyer and it's a night and day difference. I'm glad I've seen it so I'm never tempted to talk to the police even if I'm innocent. Always lawyer up!! Unrelated- I read your name as "Taterz Face" because that's my cat's name lol (It's actually Taterz Precious but I call him Taterz Face all the time because he has the dumbest face 😂)
I do mean this kindly and genuinely. If I may offer some constructive criticism, I would have liked the interrogation chapter of your video more if you had interjected with your thoughts and observations more often, or condensed it for brevity where possible (as opposed to the raw, unedited footage). It was still interesting and the rest of your video's story telling and editing are well done! Giving the idle listener more points to grasp onto during that dry conversation would really help the experience from my perspective. Thank you for sharing this tragic tale with us and guiding us through it. I love videos like this, so you have a new subscriber.
I agree. If I didn’t have the comments to look at I would have probably gone to a different video or skipped ahead during it because it was incredibly boring. I know this channel likes to add as much as they can straight from the perpetrator but this was a bit much.
Agree, it's a weakness with this channel's otherwise great content - they include huge chunks of police interrogation or courtroom footage already widely available on TH-cam, without adding value to it with analysis or additional, researched information. It would be better if they edited their videos down to half the length and cut out most of that footage we've probably already seen anyway. When it's allowed to run full length it's a little dull and unnecessary.
this case has always stuck with me because of how similar chandler and i are. my mom was the same way about constantly texting me while i was away at college, my dad is always one of my biggest advocates, i struggled in college-due in part to the pandemic-and lied to my parents about it and worried them sick, my sister is living in her own apartment with her boyfriend and i’m living at home while going to school, hell i live in wisconsin and i literally go to matc. it’s crazy to me how similar we are and yet, the lengths he went to to keep his lies. i eventually broke down to my parents and admitted how horribly i was doing (i was in a major depressive episode at a school 4 hours away from home in the middle of the pandemic) and i moved back home, started going to a therapist regularly, and am back on track where i want to be with my life, doing well in school, with a good job and friends. but i struggled too, just like him: i was jealous of my sister and how well she was doing and how i had to live at home and how hard school had suddenly become, but never once did i consider murdering my parents to cover up my lies. i can’t imagine what his brother feels and i hope he’s able to find peace.
I don’t think that you need to report it. This person was honest talking about their experience and how they would never do what he did, no matter what. I also had trouble in college and eventually spoke to my parents about it. They helped me figure it out, just like I believe most parents would do.
Just ignore the person who said that they would report your comment to the police. I respect your honesty in talking about your feelings, and I don’t think you are like Chandler. You came clean with your parents and got help. Good on you
I don't think it's too uncommon for kids to lie to their parents about how badly they are doing in school, and having to move home to live with them again. I went through it myself over 20 years ago. A straight-A student in high school, university just wasn't my jam and after failing out of several courses, the school kicked me out. I told my parents I had chosen to leave. I'm not sure they ever found out the truth! It was embarrassing, and I just didn't want to fess up to it. Thankfully a few years later I discovered the wonders of a technical institution and it was way better suited to my learning style and the A's came back.
I’ve heard the same story many times. Many. Kids are given money for college tuition, they spend it on something else; lying ensues. I’m glad you’re back on track, and I know you’ll get wherever it is you want to be, even if you took the long way to get there…
At the sentencing hearing, the only thing he had to say was "My attorneys suck. If anyone wants to take my case, hit me up." (Paraphrasing, but essentially what was said.) I haven't heard if anyone's taken him up on that. He still refuses to take responsibility for literally anything.
Cat is so pretty and stayed with him and took care of him when he pretended to be disabled she deserves the world I’m glad she’s away from this monster
Apparently spacex doesn’t Pay well enough. I know of a few engineers that lived in their cars while working for spacex because they couldn’t afford rent.
It blows my mind that it never occurs to this jerk that the police would not be asking for him to account for every minute of his day for the last week if he were not a suspect.
Oh he knows. But he's so full of himself and feels he's got such a good story, he's proving his innocense by adding all this detail. As a professional liar, he knows it's the details that sell the story.
Unfortunately we've seen so many of the similar cases (Joel Guy Jr.), Jennifer Pan or whatever her name was... doing the same thing and making dumbest mistakes in the process, so I guess it just didn't occur to any of them they'd get caught :((( The were prob too confident about themselves. I also think pathalogical liars are on some kind of mental health issue spectrum as well. As it would be common sense for most people to understand their lies will catch up to them in the end and esp such massive one as killing the family.
that is what I ask myself for literally every true crime video i watch. It's like they dont think about how thorough detectives and investigators are at their work? they really think they'll just lie or make up some hair brained story and the detectives will just buy it lol.
@@vicd8346 Jennifer Pan's idea wasnt that bad actually compared to all the other guys. she just failed on the execution and not really planning out the little details better. Out of all of them I think shes the one that could of gotten away with it if she planned it a little better and took more time to think about it. she seems like a genius compared to these other clowns.
“She just put me to bed” what?? The terminology he uses is so bizarre. As if he’s a child being taken care of. He really tried to stay that way his whole life too.
I know not everyone is loving how long the interrogation footage is, but I find it extremely interesting. I can’t believe how needlessly thorough he was and how patient the detectives were. Especially since I’ve had 6 concussions and it has significantly affected my memory! It’s also so shocking how committed he was to all of his lies. Thanks for the interesting video!
Well . . .I can't stand listening to lies/it's a marvel he didn't ``lawyer up,'' and it's a marvel how patient detective is/I listen w/half an ear, just waiting on detective to spring it on him that they found body parts at the farm.
@@quickchris10 yeah but that’s what makes it all the better when they finally call him on it and he’s like “what?! You didn’t believe any of that?!” He was so damn chuffed with himself thinking he was a master manipulator and they turned the tables on him.
@@RedLion502 You would think he wouldn't be so gullible; he was thinking by the detective's kind demeanor, ``he's buying this,'' when the detective was only feigning interest.
Or when he answered the detectives what he discussed with the police during his first interaction at the station, his parents "missing ness". I would pay $89.95 to watch Chandler having to handle his new home, watching him struggle and cope with being in a bona fide gladiator academy prison would would be a chefs kiss in my book.
For someone with a brain injury, he has an incredible memory. I couldn’t tell you what I had for breakfast yesterday, much less last week. Or what TV shows I watched. He was extremely dependent on his parents. I don’t know how he thought he would manage without them. Fortunately he should have prison guards to take care of him from now on.
I love how you preface this entire video with every single detail of Chandler's "story." Amazing work, sir! Editing to say I'm only 20 minutes in and your details and thoroughness are incredible. Thank you for giving these poor victims a voice that they no longer have
I knew the general points of this case I didn't know that dad told him they had a meeting at the school and that he texted him when the it was time and was dead 15 minutes later. Jesus. I really hope he sent his mom to stop for soda to buy himself a few extra min, not because he could use one more favor before he killed her. It's the details of these stories that make them so interesting, really give us insight into what these people are thinking
@@poutinedream5066 She was on her way home from work and I got the feeling he needed more time. So sad and then the video of her pulling in the driveway.. Never to leave again
He does that with other ppl too. The brainstorming with the neighbors. He said they fed me. Cop says so you guys had dinner. No they didn't eat they just fed me he said. Bizarre. Like he's some starving child on the streets of Calcutta. He's lazy and a professional victim and king baby syndrome. Its pathetic. Hes gonna have a rough time in prison
I am trying to imagine talking to the cops in an interrogation while trying to: •maintain my innocence •divulge small details in an effort to seem more forthcoming •maintain that i currently have a debilitating head injury and corresponding loss of cognition •suppress the inevitable memories of murdering, dismembering, and burning my parents' remains amidst answering questions •attempt to default to their potential safe return throughout hours of interrogation despite knowing that's impossible Anyone who could pull this off might end up fooling everyone, and would possibly be the most dangerous individual in the country.
I don't think Chandler is particularly smart. I would think an innocent person in this situation would think he was giving a statement to help the police find his parents. As soon as the questioning started to be about what he's been doing that week, he should have assumed the police suspected him, gone silent, and gotten a lawyer. It doesn't imply guilt like a lot of people think. It's just smart not to give the police anything when they are trying to pin something on you. The way Chandler seems to think he has to make up a story to outsmart the police seems idiotic. This is why Miranda rights exist in the first place: to protect the accused from incriminating themselves.
You know, after watching so many Dreading documentaries you folks have uploaded, I haven't ever said this before. Thank you for the way you investigate and bring as much material to the table. Thank you for how you analyze the footage, whether it's speculative or not. And, thank you for your pre-interrogation breakdowns as well as detailed timestaps and footage breakdowns. You do a ton of work to make these videos valid, and having them on youtube (despite the shame of this company demonetizing such crucial videos of the human experience) leaves lasting and valuable introspective views on the human condition.
krista sounded like such a wonderful person; that's a massive amount of love lost from countless lives. rest in peace, you really did the best you could
Why did he chop her legs off. And throw the rest of her in the river. It’s so bizarre. We don’t know how she died. He had rope in his car he might of tortured her for hours. How awful.
@@Nathalie7774 forensics would be able to tell what damage to her body was done pre-mortem vs. post-mortem so I'm not too sure if that's a possibility cuz I haven't heard it brought up.
@@Nathalie7774he had absolutely no reason to torture her though? I don't think he was *that* sadistic, he was just a lazy bum who would've rather killed than face responsibility or be caught in a lie.
There was also that girl who pretended to be at college and when it came time for graduation she called in a bomb threat on the ceremony to stop her parents from going and finding out.
That was such a sad case. Her parents were undoubtedly abusive and controlling towards her, being the typical "Asian tiger parents", and she just broke. Doesn't excuse what she did whatsoever, but it was much more tragic for everyone all around, whereas this case, Chandler's parents are great, they just unfortunately birthed a bad egg.
For someone with a head injury like a concussion he’s remembering a lot quite clearly. I’ve known a few people with them that would literally cry if asking to recall something they have been doing daily like a driving route or a simple math problem.
Yup, out of curiosity, I tried to recall what I did in this level of detail just two days ago and….not even close. And this is further back, with a debilitating head injury….
I’ve had a concussion before and lost my memory and had a speech impediment for two months I was crying every time I had visitors because I could not carry on a conversation I can attest to this
Its allll part of the facade ! playing into the head injury thing and not feeling well, trying to get sympathy but also he thinks itll excuse any odd behavior.. it gives him an excuse to talk slow and get a few moee seconds to come up w answers and get his story straight. It comes off calm as well.. if hes monotonous then theres no peaks in emotion anywhrre giving them any indication of, anything really lol. Hes straight up crazyyyy !
@@mimo_7174 Yeah, he is playing up the fake illness, but a lot of clearly guilty suspects do the monotone voice thing (Chris Watts, Grant Amato, etc), and I think the rationale is that they think “calm and cooperative = seems innocent.” Police officers in other true crime vids have said most innocent people get testy or downright outraged if asked too many personal things or are accused of being involved in the crime, but guilty people will often not really react that much when accused except to feebly deny.
Based on the interview footage, it’s baffling to me that anyone had any kind of relationship with Chandler. It just seems really clear there’s something very wrong with him.
One of my best friends from high school had a younger brother who reminds me a lot of Chandler, but he had been diagnosed with some type of autism or disorder and essentially had the mind of an 8 year old but was a massive dude at 6'4. He also lived off his parents, made up lies about his school and work, and even staged a robbery while his parents were away because he sold all their belongings to a pawn shop. When you met him it was clear something was seriously off but it's hard to describe exactly what it is.
Everyone's laughing about how much effort this guy went to fake his life, all I can focus on is how absolutely tragic this is. His family showed incredible levels of care through a fake sickness, his dad spent hours arguing with fake advisors and a fake hr person. His girlfriend thought her partner in life suffered life ruining injuries. His pseudo stepmom cared so much for him that she was willing to let him stay with her to avoid who she thought were abusive parents All of this for a low life fuck who did everything he could to not get his life together.
I personally don’t laugh about how much effort he put into his fake life- I marvel at it. It’s just astounding that someone would really exert that much mental energy to continue his lazy lifestyle. It doesn’t make sense to me. I have tried speculating on how this makes sense to them and I’ve yet to come up with anything.
She knew something at the very end when they asked about ice and why he'd need so much she pretended to think and a memory of something triggered you could see she was reapplying and seeing something
Agreed… though I don’t find it funny just bizarre and others possibly just need something to deflect how absolutely horrendous this whole thing ended up being but you are absolutely right it’s tragic on so many levels affecting so many people
@@lilianavarela7439 because its true. people avoid things like emails, [planning, phone calls. If you're doing all the same shit, why not just get a desk job, sell some houses. Its basic, but Chandler wanted to be a str. The star on the dive team. The person working for Elon, like he wanted to be seen as exemplary and special, to stand out.... guess what. He stands out. Complete, forever. for being a lame ass, and I bet Elon might even heard about him.

JCS is kinda questionable. I've seen people saying they've lied about that they've taken down videos, have used AI voiceovers randomly, etc. just kinda odd
Wow. This reminded me of the case of Jennifer Pan, from Toronto area. She also had hard-working parents, who paid for her college, hoping to prepare her better for this life. A more successful brother, to serve her an example. Yet she was also living a life of lies to her parents until they found out. By doing so, they sealed their fate. Luckily her dad survived and that's how she was convicted
The sad part is his parents would have easily forgave him if theuy found out the last few years was a lie and could've gotten him help. That poor Krista had to watch her baby boy kill her so sad
The belief in heaven and an afterlife makes this worst. They both had to watch the truth about their child until their deaths, as well as the actions that took place after. Sawing their heads off. Burning their severed heads in their own home. Sleeping in that same room. Being a fucking idiot and googling stupid things to get caught. Dumping their bodies all over town like garbage. Jesus Christ is too good. Because this is fucked. This is very fucked.
I agree _ even if they didn't , he could of moved on & lived a life worth living! Yeah maybe they were " overbearing" he was a adult & unfortunately the outcome was murder of two loving parents! As parents we only want the best if our children
They would have expected change and they would've put on pressure by telling a milder version of it to company, which his ego wouldn't have been able to handle.
I want to say great job for this video. I’ve watched the whole trial and other coverage and I love how you started off with Chandler’s version of reality. That was a wonderful opening.
This case gives me chills because it reminds me of an elaborate lie I told my parents. I told them I was going overseas for a job, when I was really going overseas to university for a major they didn’t approve of. I woke up at 5 in the morning for fake job interviews and everything! I felt so guilty about it that I eventually came clean and while they were still hurt that I lied to them, they understood why I did it.
When I was a young teenager, I turned into a pretty big liar toward my parents for a variety of reasons. But this is far beyond anything I ever did, or could ever imagine. This kid should never be let out of prison.
It is very big of you to a knowledge it, I’ve owned up to bad habits I had developed in life, it sucked but was a huge positive in my life 😊👍 Yeey you!!
Wonder if his girlfriend and her mom ever fully realized the bullet they dodged. They were about to let him into the same exact housing situation he was currently in with his parents and couldn’t sustain. The only difference is they didn’t go through the effort to actually verify his stories. If he had moved out of his parents house into theirs I think it would have ended the exact same way.
I feel like shit whenever i realize how little I've done with my life, even though my mom doesn't put any pressure on me for my lack of effort or interest in becoming something better; I understand what is like to fear the possibility of disappointing your parents, of looking like an absolute loser. What i cannot understand, however, is when did murdering someone became a solution to being a loser... And murdering your family? That is beyond any failure.
howdy; 25 yr old jobless, freeloading manchild here. i'm a straight up textbook case of a Loser/Failure and i too reflect almost every other second on just how much of my life I've wasted living my leeching lifestyle, and even more so the many years of misery and resentment i forced onto my family and friends, all for my own lazy self-interest . after a decade plus of NEET life livin, i can assure you that the 'cloud of comfort' eventually gives way and you're fallin from 1000 feet straight down into a pile of all those responsibilities that u ducked, personality disorders that u ignored, and all the many, many years of development and actualization you neglected while a NEET
@Natalie You might want to think of a better solution. You might not have someone to leech on forever and starting to search for solutions with 40 or 50 (when your parents are dead and everyone else is fed up with you) is almost impossible and you'll end up like this guy due to disperation. You don't have to work full time if you cannot, but you need a minimum to survive. Look for jobs with flexible schedule and jobs you can do from home. Nowadays you have more options than in the past.
@Natalie Government asst for SSDI is a way to make it vocational rehab, I was homeless many years from brain injuries and abuse. You got to continue moving forward.

Well the problem is, yes it was a convoluted long form scheme/lie but he was not good at it at all. The simple emails explaining why he hasn’t been paid in weeks, the constant college issues. As soon as his dad had enough and looked into it for 5 minutes he found out what was going on and it cost him his life. All it would have took was his girl or parents to actually press him or look into what he was telling them and his whole scheme would have been over. They just took his word for everything no matter how ridiculous and far fetched it was. It’s amazing how someone this incredible stupid was able to fool so many people for so long. I think what it is, is his parents already know he’s a weirdo and not bright at all. His girl probably thought he was so whimpy and dorky that she just never questioned how he failed or lost every fake opportunity in his life. I still can’t understand what she saw in this weirdo. One conversation and the average person would think this kid is slow or something why does he talk like that?
@@troyperry411 I agree with your comments. He’s a pathetic waste. Also, he was speaking slow because he was keeping up the facade that he had a brain injury from the “fall.”
I feel sorry for the parents, of course, but I also feel for the older brother. He's grieving his parents and the loss of the person he thought his brother was. Devastating. Also, the older brother hadn't done anything wrong, but now he will have to live with the stigma of being "that guy whose brother killed their parents."

The worst thing to me is that if he came clean, I'm sure these parents would have done everything in their power to help him get on his feet. They absolutely did not need to die.
I highly doubt that. Some parents won’t put up with it and want their kids out the house by 18
@@abes3925 they had already bent over backwards for the dude. These parents gave off the vibes that they would help.
I have parents like this and when I was 18 I was being dishonest about my performance in college, and being caught felt like the end of the world. They were really disappointed in me… but within a week were brainstorming ways with me that I could get back up and do better, including getting me a tutor at one point. It came with some stricter guidelines, but I came out one year later, so much more successful by being honest and getting help. It makes this case so much harder to watch because I think that in another universe he could’ve turned out the same way
@@abes3925 nah it’s fairly obvious that these parents are not that kind… they’re very involved in their children and wanted them around and too know what was going on. They had already bent over backwards trying fo help him so I don’t doubt they would’ve helped if he had asked and admitted everything. Especially his mother. And he wasn’t even close too 30,he was 22 and had plenty of time to turn this all around and get his life together. I think he was absolutely clueless on how to turn his life around because all his problems could’ve been solved by simply getting a job.. even a shitty one and re enrolling in college. It’s ridiculous how easy he could’ve turned this around with a bit of honesty..
Yeah! It’s so weird because he traded lying to his parents for lying to the police. There would have been no serious consequences when his lies were eventually exposed. It’s like he killed his parents instead of disappointing them/embarrassing himself, just senseless.

sunk cost fallacy
That's the thing, though. He didn't want to actually work. Everyone keeps saying this, but that defeats the point. He did not want to work. He did not want to be a productive member of society. He wanted to be taken care of, whilst putting on a front to people outside of his immediate family. So, obviously* he would put more effort into looking good rather than actually taking responsibility.
@@donttalktomylovedones4544 True...he just wanted to play video games all day. So he killed his parents because they told him no. His brain never developed it seems.

Lol
Talking to your dad pretending to be a school advisor as yourself is WILD!😅
Not gonna lie, that's like the one thing I'll give Chandler props for. He was so dedicated to this lie that he was doing something as risky as pretending to be someone else when talking to his dad. His dad even commented on his notes how much the "advisor" sounded like Chandler.
Elon Musk is pretending to be Adrian Ditmann on Twitter or X (nutcase 😅)!
Imagine being those detectives, sitting through that whole thing, and being like "cool story bro. Now what really happened." That took some serious patience.
Not only let him dig the hole for himself, but had so much time to observe and listen for when they hit him with the facts to see him squirm.
To be fair, it's kinda required for detectives to hear the whole story. No matter how ridiculous. Making arrests before letting him finish is ill advised I've looked up.
Its there job to catch him in a lie so they use that against him in court .If they just start accusing him they know he will shut down and talk less or ask for a lawyer like everyone person should do weather you are guilty or inocent.

im so sorry but "i made shrimp scampi for my dad, but we didn't have shrimp, so I made shrimpless scampi" is one of the unintentionally funniest things I've ever heard
So he made melted butter orrrrr? 😅
Based on what google is telling me, shrimpless scampi is either a spiced butter sauce or perhaps some buttery noodles 😂 or perhaps he's referring to the actual crustacean scampi??
Wow I read this exactly as he spoke it lol. The comments never disappoint.
His most egregious lie by far was when he said he watched "Pretty in Pink", but proceeds to describe "Legally Blonde".
😂😂😂 love this comment ❤
He’s a depraved monster and incredibly cunning, surprised he didn’t get away with this!
@@Walczyke was a desperate loser, that strung out lies to play video games. His lies weren’t even intelligent lie, it’s just nobody cared enough to doubt him. It was a poorly planned murder and he stood zero chance of getting away with it.
His so dumb he can't even remember the. Name of the movie ans just a kessinger makes up one up.
I thought the same thing (the Pretty in Pink faux pas).
I love the first few moments of the interrogation.
Detective: "hey chandler, how you doing?"
Chandler: " not good"
Detective: "good, good" 😅
😂
LMAO, HILARIOUS! He's like I don't really care how you're doing, it's just habit for me to say as I'm walking into the room. 🤣😂🤣😂
I had to play that back to make sure I heard it right
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭
I ignore the question "How are you?". People really don't care.
Update: he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
Good, if you could do this to your parents you shouldn't be allowed outside the walls of a prison
His poor brother is left alone
Woohoo!!
@@louloubelle1330 I know😢 can you imagine living with this the rest of your life? It's unimaginable to me.
I mean it kinda sucks because he got what he wanted, no work and someone else will take care of him. I would put him to hard labour.
His level of immaturity astounds me. A 23 year old man talking about being "put to bed", "couldn't get a hold of any of my friends to play with", "slept in the couch fort", "Kat didn't like sleeping on the couch", "Kat came to help me with the dogs" (as though he would need help feeding two small dogs), "she realised my legs were such, so she had me sleep and put me to bed"- it is almost creepy the way he infantiles himself.
and being fed - can do nothing for himself
Direct product of being raised by a helicopter mom, gotta keep that in mind.
He says they/she/cat feed me. WTF?!?
And several times. This is a strategy most likely..
It wasn't so much that he was "infantilizing himself", but it was more that he was faking a serious brain injury that he claimed to have, and supposedly prevented him from doing basic stuff, like lifting things or driving.
Also, the couch fort thing was actually pretty scary: at the trial, the prosecutors claimed that Chandler had his ex-gf sleep with him in that couch rather than a bed, because he had his parents' dismembered bodies in a freezer. And Chandler needed to see and control her every move that night, lest she opened that freezer and discovered the bodies. He would've definitely murdered her as well if she did.
Narcissistic!!
Idk why but the “k :)” made me so sad. She had no idea what she was coming home to. She seemed like such a nice lady :(
The way he snapped at her to get soda, too. Gross.
@@Servo1616yeah, he's a fucking loser.
Some of us old people don't speak or understand "text slang". What did your comment say?
@@jimmycrackkorn1596 When Chandler killed his father, Chandler texted his mother that his father's phone was dead and also told her to get him a soda. She replied "k :)" which is short for "ok" accompanied by a smiley face. Then, when she came home, he killed her as well.
@@jimmycrackkorn1596google it boomer
The amount of sadness I feel for the mom right now…. Her last text to her son being “k :)” and bringing him a soda, just for him to murder her in cold blood. The father knew what was up. That’s why he pushed so hard at the uni lie. So sad.
Dad probably thought Chandler was too fucking lazy to actually pose a threat to anyone.
I know, I feel sad for so many people in this but his mother seemed so kind and like she genuinely just wanted to make her children happy. What a miserable way to repay her love.
@@Vi_Vi_1 some people are cant imagine what its like to have parents that don't care at all/ this case just hits me and I keep coming back to it. Chandler seems so lost here, and almost full of regret. I wonder between killing his father and waiting for mom to return, did he consider stopping the whole roll of events? I guess we may never know. Too many people are getting killed at their retirement! Leave the people alone! let the live wtf
Do not feel sorry for this sorry piece of shit.... he'll be sorry soon enough
For some reason him asking her to pick up soda for him, right after he murdered his father, is one of the more sinister parts of this story to me. The lack of emotion is astounding
If you sense someone is compulsively lying to you, NEVER back them into a corner. Compulsive lying is a narcissistic trait and these people will lose it if they feel trapped or found out.
Agreed!! 💯
That is SO true!!
Compulsive lying is indeed a narcissistic trait, but that does not mean all compulsive liars are narcissists and therefore means not all liars will kill when backed into a corner. Just felt I had to add this.
So agree. I was thinking personality disorder throughout this entire video
I agree 10000% but it had to be rough territory when that person is your child... Because a parents job is to instill honesty and accountability. Ugh. So sad and so unnecessary. Heartbreaking.
Chandler doesn’t have to work very hard to pretend he has a brain injury.
He sold that! Lol!
😂❤😂
If you ever find out that someone you know has been lying about being in enrolled in school, run. There are so many cases of murderers who lied about their schooling. SO many.
Surprising to me how many "young adults" lie about being in college to their parents, friends, people they date, and prospective jobs or associates. I would say it's much more common than most think. It's pretty easy to check if someone is in a university, if you know the person's name, and the name of the university.
@@sselassie3126 shows you how bad parenting is if the kids is that afraid to tell them to truth to the point that they kill
@@jon35693 that's a great point. Although, I'm sure there are instances of amazing parents and the student still deciding to lie for whatever reason. What surprised me is how common this sort of lie is!
@@sselassie3126 it’s the parenting and the conditioning they put the kids through. everything is learned

The interview of his girlfriend is heartbreaking
She was so sweet and helped him so much through his fake ailments and truly loved his parents and had no clue he was capable of this
Yes! You can see the change in her demeanor when she testifed. I hope she receives the help and support she deserves.
I hope she doesn't lose her silliness and way of joking around. She is genuinely a kind person and I wish her nothing but the best.

This is boggling he refused to grow up. He makes statements like
“Kat put me to bed”
“My dad sent me to my room”
“There was no tv time”
“She’s (Kat) is planning on feeding me”
It’s wild. He has the mentality of a child with the actions of a full grown monster.
His text messages with Kat are online somewhere & after seeing her personality via interview & trial I believe she was just comfortable with him.
He did nothing for her, feel like she was a giver and Chandler is a textbook leech.
Kat should be thriving now that this load isn’t weighing her down.
And..."We got into the couch fort."
@@EncompassingChaos6 wait he really said that?
@@EncompassingChaos6 lmao I didn’t catch that. After “Kat put me to sleep after she fed me” my sanity went out the window, sooo I may have missed this one
@@EncompassingChaos6 hey who doesn't enjoy a good couch fort?
The choices with his lies were also very much like a child would come up with. Space X for the imaginary job, brain bleed and the jumble of symptoms and repercussions he came up with. His development was stunted at some point, for reasons I'd love to know. He sounds so depressed and flat in every audio available, but from what was said at sentencing it seems like he refused any evaluations or discussion that may have provided some mitigation.
My goodness... these guys had patience to get through this. It's like talking to someone that just rolled out of bed but never woke up 😲
Fascinating conversation partner for sure..
Lol idk why this made me chuckle so much 😂😂😂oh ..... because you hit all the nails on the head with that one lol
He is a Pisces man after all
My sentiments exactly! I couldn’t sit through his monotonous lies but that’s how these narcissistic sociopathic people get caught in the own predicament…
Did you know that this is their job? 🤯🤯🤯🤯 they talk to all sorts of insane, awkward, highly educated, not educated, narcissistic, bipolar individuals all the time. Individuals who murder have all sorts of issues and this is the detectives job.
I love it when the cop asks how are you doing ....and Chandler responds with not good....then cops responce is good good. ..lmao
I love it, too. Quite a few memorable moments in that interview!
I love when Chaz says is there a warrant to search my house? Cop : Should there be??
That is a sociopathic tendency coming from you.
@@OWlsfordshire everybody's a psychologist now
Lol right? I noticed that when I first saw it too and it made me laugh...that cop didn't give a fuck what his answer was and couldn't be bothered to listen...I don't blame him.
lol. My little brother pretended to go to college for a year, but he didn't put this much effort into it. It sounds like he worked harder to pretend to work than he would have actually working. Strange.
Wow, Hi Kat Blaque wasn't expecting you here! You're awesome!
I keep hearing stories that include "pretended to go to college" or "pretended to have a job". I feel like this is something new bc I don't remember this happening say 20 years ago. Is it a generational thing I wonder? Like is the young 20's age group feeling pressure to succeed or grow up that previous generations did not? Is that why your brother did it? I'm sorry to get so personal but I'm very curious about this
@@tiffanye9776 I know people in their 40s and 60s that pretended to go to college. It's not a new phenomenon, but it does seem like I hear more stories these days of kids faking going to college. There is definitely too much pressure on young people to be successful, imo.
@@tiffanye9776 It's definitely not a new thing. For my little brother it came down to the fact that my parents essentially said the only way you can stay here is if you're going to school. They'd never kick him out though. He still lives with them in fact, but that ultimatum felt very real at first so he pretended to go to school for a year; which basically meant he was just hanging out at the mall all day. I don't get it, but I think he felt like there was only so few things he could do.
@@fighttheevilrobots3417 I am true crime trash and I watch almost every jcs inspired channel.
Honestly his girlfriend is going to need YEARS of therapy after this mess. Imagine thinking you were engaged to an engineer or something at SpaceX and looking at apartments to put a deposit on in another state…and really he was a lazy, compulsive liar who would rather work at lies and murder than anything productive. Heck, if I was one of his gamer friends I’d need therapy! They all managed to have jobs and family no problem, I’m sure they assumed he did too! Hurt more lives than just his poor parents.
Gf will need therapy but given the scope of all the lies, she wasn't the only one duped.
I think this is an important point. The scary thing about Chandler for me is that he reminds me of a lot of the cheating, lying, lazy gamer dudes I've dated in the past. Totally self consumed and addicted to screens. He seems familiar and common to me, and that terrified me. I've been in therapy for a long time for the level and quantify of lies they told me.

@@evolvedape2161Women have ridiculously low standards.
@@misterkingdom3571 Some people in general have low standards.
Women, statistically, have higher standards than men - not that women with low standards don't exist!
The reasons for women statistically having higher standards are plenty, some less concrete than others. Most obvious reason to me is being that women tend to have more "choosing power" over who their partner could be.
It is of course not a hard-and-fast rule, but women tend to choose their male partners and tend marry upwards on most metrics. Statistics are often misleading, but this one is just the way that it generally is.

i get anxiety when i open someones mail that was accidentally sent to my address, i couldnt fucking imagine trying to juggle colossal lie after lie like that lmfao
No kidding! All the work he did to cover up his lies was actually work he could have been doing in the first place. What an idiot
He's an amateur. The professionals don't get caught and end up in the white house.
@ Unlimited Protection: Omg YES! Chandler is a real tweety bird. He’s taken lying to a whole new and frightening level. I can’t believe he actually thought he’d get away with murdering and hacking up his parents. Space cadet too.
Can you imagine the anxiety of living in constant fear your lies will be found out? The best thing the judge in this case said was something along the lines of "i have to make sure that the next time you are in society is for the privilege of a burial you denied your parents " ..i saw someone comment that quote in another video and it is, as they said , very profound.
Any bet it was Adeptus Ridiculous. There is where i learned about the case and they highlighted that quote.
Instead of lying about everything and killing my parents, I just got a job. Way easier.
Actually yes. I did something similar when I was suffering from an eating disorder. While I had a job, loads of my savings were blown on feeding my compulsions, and I was forever making up lies about where I was going or people I was meeting with to avoid people questioning why they wouldn't see me eat anything.
The weight it places on you is insane. I remember considering running away at my lowest point but I never considered hurting my loved ones, even when my lies inevitably collapsed all around me.
I remember being fascinated with this case because it I could relate to living this other fake life and having to stack lies upon lies, with the constant fear that I'd be found out and nobody would ever take me seriously again and consider me a failure at life, which my ego just couldn't handle. He was clearly very insecure about his own place in life, even while wanting everyone to do things for him. He saw his brother with a good job and respected by his parents and not how his made up job was in a similar field but even more impressive (it wasn't like he was lying about working in KFC).
The difference was in how he chose to handle it. No matter how he felt, his actions were cold and cruel. He had no shred of remorse, even long after the act, even when interacting with grieving relatives. Many of us have had to face up to the consequences of doing bad things or exposed for not being as great as we have sold ourselves to be, but we don't become killers to mask that insecurity. Just utterly evil, I can't think of another word for it.
That’s a good judge
@@derp195how'd you play games though?
Imagine being in your 20s and getting sent to your room by your dad. Blows my mind.

Imagine needing to be sent to your room at 20 years old by your father.
I am sure there are a little bit more to this story. His parents seemed very controlling, even though killing them was another destructive way of taking care of his problems
@youparejo but he was 24.. move tf out if you hate it so bad. I think his parents were loving and he's a liar. He is probably lying about being "grounded" and "sent to his room" but that's just my opinion. He lied about his Mom not liking his gf Cat, afterall. All bc he didn't want them to talk to eachother and figure him out. He bought the gun he used a year prior to the m*rders from a friend on fb messenger. He planned this for some time. Plenty enough time to move out... His gf Cat's mom even offered to let him move in to their house, rent free.
His parents were controlling because he kept taking help and not showing any results for all the effort they were putting in to raising an adult baby. He wanted to be a kid forever and was able to get his parents to continue treating him like he was 14.
No flak intended here, but i kind of wish that after like two hours of the interrogation you had added a brief summary of the evidence against him. Kinda easy to forget in all of his rambling. Or maybe interrupt him every so often to point out a piece of evidence that contradicts his story.
agreed
I did that myself yelling at this dude how incredibly brain dead everything he says and does comes across. How far removed from common sense does one need to be to believe they will get away with a double murder of their parents and then act like all three stooges simultaneously in an effort to cover up their deed.
You mean the trumped up evidence.
@@buckrogers6378 I was yelling too:) him and the mundane details. Did he think telling them that he put on yellow socks at 2:30 on Thursday when family feud was on tv would help him get away with murder? Or maybe he thought he could bore them to death with unnecessary details. Then we get to the good part after 2 hours and it just STOPPED. 🤬 I wanted hear them ask him real questions. Oh well
Yep, this channel just wishes they were JCS but they’re doing it worse.
I love how the detective asks how he’s doing when he walks into the interrogation room and Chandler says “Not good” and the detective says “good, good!”
Great observation!
He delivers his entire story in an emotionless monotone, and then the ONLY time he shows emotion is to talk enviously about his brother at the very end. Chilling.
I've viewed hours and hours of video on this fascinating case including the full court proceedings in their entirety. Your video is right up there with the best of them, brother. Your narrative, production, editing, etc. are all extraordinarily well done, and you deserve kudos for the solid efforts you put into this. Great job, man!
is it though? its just a synopsis and then two hours of unedited boring interrogation footage which ends just as it starts to get interesting...
Grizzly True Crime is covering this case over 10 day (deleting all non-useful into, like lunches, breaks etc) it’s amazing 🤩 Glad I found this channel too!
How was he not in a full panic attack everyday lying like that? Just waiting to be found out. Years of knowing that at any second, someone could expose him. Keeping stories and names straight. He could’ve gone to med school if he would’ve redirected his energy into legitimately working. I’m shocked. Lying is exhausting.
I remember back in 97 I was reading a book about Jeffrey Dahmer and I dreamt that I had murdered someone, the dream was me and my friends walking around a K MART the following day after I had killed someone, I was trying to not let my friends know I had done anything the previous night , I would excuse myself from the group to go find somewhere to have a panic attack , I then woke up sweating profusely .
It felt so real , this was just a dream and I was freaking out , I can't imagine how anyone could live day to day with that guilt and the constant anxiety of being caught.
But usually people who do stuff like this are psychopaths and don't feel empathetic or guilt for there actions.
@@andysalter7192 @Little Flower -- You guys are both so right. I imagine life would be like this for people who actually got away with murder too, and didn't even have a hundred other insanely difficult lies to pull off every day. Like Stephanie Lazarus, that crazy L.A.P.D. detective who was obsessed with her ex boyfriend and murdered his new wife, Sherri, and got away with it while the case went cold for 23 years (you guys have got to check out the JCS video explaining and analysing her capture and interrogation if you haven't already! She is paaanicking). Like how could anybody, including Chandler, ever live in peace again just looking over your shoulder all the time or wondering if that knock on the door is the cops? Or the cops literally working at the desk right near yours who are reopening cold cases including the one you're guilty of? @Andy Salter you're definitely onto something - murderers who are psychopaths generally think they'll get away with it because of their own narcissistic personality and inflated ego. They think they're smarter than everybody else.
Also, like... imagine the serial killer Gary Ridgway - The Green River Killer. He was living a double life where he held down a job and lived with his wife, all the while committing and getting away with 48 separate murders between the years 1982-1998. He HAD to have seen news reports or something coming out about the advancement of forensic science and DNA technology and how cold cases were being solved and active killers were being caught. Can you imagine absolutely sh*tting yourself realising technology you never knew would exist could catch you any moment now?
Okay so I can’t decide if he’s a psychopath or a sociopath. But lying comes naturally. And it’s hubris that makes him think that he could have gotten away with it.
It's a bit of a sunk cost situation. Lying again is easier than confessing, and you repeat until you're 30 lies deep. The existential fear of confronting how unsustainable your situation is can get so bad that you trick yourself into continuing because it's easier to pretend the situation will resolve.
@@binch6291 cool explanation, thank you!
I can not believe he thought his parents were strict. I mean, seriously, what kind of strict helicopter parent would let those flimsy excuses about the transcript and paychecks slide for more than 5 minutes. He was so lucky to have 2 loving parents but favored murder over feeling an ounce of shame for his lie.
It pains me a lot to see he could deceive his parents with Gmail accounts. Had they realized big corporations and institutions don't use the Gmail domain, this could have ended different.

I would've been thrown out the house before I had the chance to even set up the first fake email account 😂😂😂😂

I've come back to this case so many times. It's just so bizarre. This boy saw things that were so beyond horrific- burned, decomposing, and dismembered pieces of parents strewn about the house- and he has the willpower to keep up what I presume to be the same act he's been doing for years by this point. He just babbles on, purposefully mixing up details to try and confuse the listener, because he thinks it will let him go play video game again. To think that his parents and girlfriend all put up with this annoying demeanor for years is a testament to how kind they all are/were. I mean, seriously *listen;* this dude SLAUGHTERED his parents. He did things that most killers couldn't even bring themselves to consider. He committed acts more grizzly than you or I could ever conceive of committing- and yet, here he sits, speaking in a dull, monotone voice, saying essentially nothing. And when it isn't nothing, it's a lie. And to think that the defense team couldn't find ONE example of people saying anything bad about the Halderson parents. Literally EVERYONE in this comments section has people who would talk shit about you under some set of circumstances, and the Haldersons simply DIDN'T.

Real, with no remorse either.
It's so sad scary and unbelievable!
Yes scary as he'll people are unhinged
You know what's scarier?
Parents giving birth to children just to abuse them
And he shot them in the back too. They probably didn't die immediately, they probably had a short bit of time to contemplate that Chandler did this to them as they faded away.
I love the beginning of the interogation where the officer asks "hey Chandler, how ya doing?", Chandler says "Not good", and the officer responded "Good, good"
Yeah that was savage I love it
L O L.
You're a lying toad
🤣 yeah I didn’t even catch that. Maybe 🤔 he wanted to let him think they weren’t listening?
Probably thought he said “I’m good”, but still funny.
I knew a dude like Chandler when I was in college. He told everyone he was a triple major in math, chemistry and physics. He was actually still undeclared like many of us. He also told everyone he had been valedictorian at his high school which no one ever believed, because we weren't the kind of college with many valedictorians, lol. He told some people he had published books, that his best friend was a billionaire with a helicopter who could pick him up anytime he wanted. When we told him to call her right then (because we knew he was a liar) he insisted he just didn't want to show off. Once most people in the dorm had figured out he was a liar, his lies got dark. He started faking throat cancer (while still performing in the school's acapella group, lmao) and even made a tiny cut on his neck and pretended he had throat surgery. Someone looked up the surgery and told him it would have been done without making a cut and this dude threw a literal tantrum and had to be dragged away by the cops.
Oh, and he wasn't there the next year because the supposed full scholarship he said he had was also a lie. He had conned an old lady into paying for his schooling with a lie about an internship with NASA, but she found out he never even went to class once and pulled the plug on the money.
I lived across the hall from that dude. There are so many other stories. If I found out he did something similar to what Chandler did, I wouldn't be surprised in the least.
Whaaaaat!? Can you remember any more of his lies? Because they were honestly very entertaining 😅
At what point would someone say "dude no one cares and at least use Google before you lie".
The effort...
There's actually a mental disorder called pseudologia fantastica that causes a person to lie compulsively. The person I'm about to reference was never diagnosed that I'm aware, but I discovered the disorder while researching why someone would lie for no reason... I once worked with a man who lied about literally everything. He said his mother was a millionaire, that she owned a bed & breakfast in a castle, that she was a surgeon, his sister was a radiologist, his father was a physician, and both his grandparents were physicians. His grandmother was in the hospital due to symptoms of a heart attack and he took a private jet to visit her. I could go on and on. If his lips were moving, he was lying.
I wonder what this person is doing with his life now.
I think this person might be you.
Thanks!
my jaw actually dropped when you revealed that chandler made up all of that. i can't believe someone would do that to their family. the faking the college thing isn't /that/ bad but telling your family you'll become disabled??? as someone who actually did fall down the stairs and receive head trauma, i can't believe anyone would do that. I feel like such a burden to my family all the time and he thought of that as an ideal life? truly a twisted individual istg
Listen to his dad’s call. You can see the gears turning in his head as he goes from anger to shock.
Literally made me sick. I think I’d crumble if I was him, the fact he stayed straight faced made me nauseous
I too fell down a flight of stairs. I now have a seizure disorder for the rest of my life, from blunt force head trauma. It's not something to take lightly or lie about.
I suffered a severe closed head injury with brain hemorrhage from having my head bashed with a baseball bat during a home invasion. Head injuries are no joke, it left my life as I knew it in utter ruin and 20 years later I am still deeply effected by it every day. After the human genome was mapped the brain has been said to be the final frontier of human biology. Brain injuries are one of the weaker understood areas of medicine right now, I have been very disappointed with the lack of any actual treatments out there that could ever actually make any real permanent difference to my suffering. It makes me sick that this man capitalized on that, and would fake disability. Every wretched person like him hurts everyone who is legitimately suffering with these ailments, as encountering them makes doctors trust what their patients are reporting to them less, and in many cases reporting is the only actual way to diagnose. Granted, this guy literally killed his parents and chopped them up, after asking his mom to bring him some soda and her ultra sweet "k :)" response so his being capable of doing this is not especially surprising. Still infuriating on a personal level. Fist bump to my fellow survivors though. Keep on going, one day at a time.
@@amandamcintire4808 I am so sorry to hear that. I have only had a few seizures since my head injury and I believe they are completely under control from medication. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to keep having them for the rest of my life. It is insanely scary to suddenly lose complete control with little to no notice. I hope yours end up under control in the near future.
It is horrible, but people use fake or exaggerated illnesses to get out of all kinds of things. Other videos, and maybe this one as I skipped around while watching, note that his brother had a recent, true health scare, and Chandler likely saw the usual “sick role” that is fine when someone is truly ill, where the sick person is exempted from responsibilities, cared for and with others letting the person know they are appreciated for just being themselves, apart from their work/chore role. The faker gets all of the “perks” of a health crisis without the huge drawbacks that outweighs them for real injuries, and so sadly not that surprising it happens if the person is okay with habitually lying.
The most fascinating thing about malignant narcissists, imo, is how much they underestimate the empathy of normal people - how well we know each others' temperaments and habits, how quickly we sense an emergency and spring into action, how we will stop at nothing to find a missing person. Somehow they think we'll just get bored of looking and it will all blow over. Chilling.
I thought about this. These supposed "convenient explanations" that he always seems to have always fail to take into account how people would actually act
Was he diagnosed as a narcissist?
Yes, just like Nicole did, Shanann Watts' friend...she was relentless about trying to find her!
Just like how we expect the best of them… all about perspective.
“of normal
people” Immediately I can litmus test this entire statement as stupidity. It seems the self proclaimed “normal people” have built a complex for themselves.
Turning his girlfriend's mom against his parents in order to manipulate her into taking him in. Imagine if his girlfriend or her mom had investigated his lies, what he'd have done to either of them...

This isn’t an interrogation, this is the way you talk to a toddler when you’re trying to find out who got into the flour and spilled it all over the kitchen floor
They done a good job though.
They really didn't need to interrogate him. They basically had him dead to rights. All they had to do was get him to spew as many lies as possible so that he couldn't weasel his way out with new explanations once they revealed that they knew he was lying.
They already know. They are just letting him dig his own grave.
Was pretty sure Chandler's defense team would call Daniel Speith, Allysa Brant/Brandt, and Aaron Hoover to the stand.

When you said "Everything I have just told you is a lie" my jaw hit the floor.
His parents are “missing” but he’s talking about trees and what movie he watched. These investigators are absolute saints to put up with him.
Everyone has different relationships with their family. He’s a horrible piece of shit and I am not defending him, but not all of us would be sad that our parent is missing just fyi.

I really don't know how you delivered that intro with a straight face- its such a ludicrous story when you know any amount of the case details.
I do mean this kindly and genuinely. If I may offer some constructive criticism, I would have liked the interrogation chapter of your video more if you had interjected with your thoughts and observations more often, or condensed it for brevity where possible (as opposed to the raw, unedited footage). It was still interesting and the rest of your video's story telling and editing are well done! Giving the idle listener more points to grasp onto during that dry conversation would really help the experience from my perspective.
Thank you for sharing this tragic tale with us and guiding us through it. I love videos like this, so you have a new subscriber.
agree!
Lighten up francis
I agree. If I didn’t have the comments to look at I would have probably gone to a different video or skipped ahead during it because it was incredibly boring. I know this channel likes to add as much as they can straight from the perpetrator but this was a bit much.
I typically get annoyed at constant interruptions during videos but I love it when dreading does it! 👌🏼
Agree, it's a weakness with this channel's otherwise great content - they include huge chunks of police interrogation or courtroom footage already widely available on TH-cam, without adding value to it with analysis or additional, researched information.
It would be better if they edited their videos down to half the length and cut out most of that footage we've probably already seen anyway. When it's allowed to run full length it's a little dull and unnecessary.
this case has always stuck with me because of how similar chandler and i are.
my mom was the same way about constantly texting me while i was away at college, my dad is always one of my biggest advocates, i struggled in college-due in part to the pandemic-and lied to my parents about it and worried them sick, my sister is living in her own apartment with her boyfriend and i’m living at home while going to school, hell i live in wisconsin and i literally go to matc. it’s crazy to me how similar we are and yet, the lengths he went to to keep his lies. i eventually broke down to my parents and admitted how horribly i was doing (i was in a major depressive episode at a school 4 hours away from home in the middle of the pandemic) and i moved back home, started going to a therapist regularly, and am back on track where i want to be with my life, doing well in school, with a good job and friends. but i struggled too, just like him: i was jealous of my sister and how well she was doing and how i had to live at home and how hard school had suddenly become, but never once did i consider murdering my parents to cover up my lies. i can’t imagine what his brother feels and i hope he’s able to find peace.
I don’t think that you need to report it. This person was honest talking about their experience and how they would never do what he did, no matter what. I also had trouble in college and eventually spoke to my parents about it. They helped me figure it out, just like I believe most parents would do.
Just ignore the person who said that they would report your comment to the police. I respect your honesty in talking about your feelings, and I don’t think you are like Chandler. You came clean with your parents and got help. Good on you
I don't think it's too uncommon for kids to lie to their parents about how badly they are doing in school, and having to move home to live with them again. I went through it myself over 20 years ago. A straight-A student in high school, university just wasn't my jam and after failing out of several courses, the school kicked me out. I told my parents I had chosen to leave. I'm not sure they ever found out the truth! It was embarrassing, and I just didn't want to fess up to it. Thankfully a few years later I discovered the wonders of a technical institution and it was way better suited to my learning style and the A's came back.
Honesty is the best policy. WELL DONE💪💚
I’ve heard the same story many times. Many. Kids are given money for college tuition, they spend it on something else; lying ensues. I’m glad you’re back on track, and I know you’ll get wherever it is you want to be, even if you took the long way to get there…
At the sentencing hearing, the only thing he had to say was "My attorneys suck. If anyone wants to take my case, hit me up." (Paraphrasing, but essentially what was said.) I haven't heard if anyone's taken him up on that. He still refuses to take responsibility for literally anything.
Cat is so pretty and stayed with him and took care of him when he pretended to be disabled she deserves the world I’m glad she’s away from this monster

Exactly!
Oh he knows. But he's so full of himself and feels he's got such a good story, he's proving his innocense by adding all this detail. As a professional liar, he knows it's the details that sell the story.
Unfortunately we've seen so many of the similar cases (Joel Guy Jr.), Jennifer Pan or whatever her name was... doing the same thing and making dumbest mistakes in the process, so I guess it just didn't occur to any of them they'd get caught :((( The were prob too confident about themselves. I also think pathalogical liars are on some kind of mental health issue spectrum as well. As it would be common sense for most people to understand their lies will catch up to them in the end and esp such massive one as killing the family.
that is what I ask myself for literally every true crime video i watch. It's like they dont think about how thorough detectives and investigators are at their work? they really think they'll just lie or make up some hair brained story and the detectives will just buy it lol.
@@vicd8346 Jennifer Pan's idea wasnt that bad actually compared to all the other guys. she just failed on the execution and not really planning out the little details better. Out of all of them I think shes the one that could of gotten away with it if she planned it a little better and took more time to think about it. she seems like a genius compared to these other clowns.
I love the obvious contempt in the detectives' voices. They're barely trying to play along and prefectly matching Chandler's lying ability.
it's so weird being the same age as someone who commits a crime like this. it's different than when youre just growing up hearing about stuff like it
Yeah. Surreal to hear someone who killed his parents talking about video games I know and Discord like he's just a regular guy would could meet online
Honestly it’s so strange
“She just put me to bed” what?? The terminology he uses is so bizarre. As if he’s a child being taken care of. He really tried to stay that way his whole life too.
She feeds me, grounded, couch fort. Very bizarre
Prison will please him then if he doesn’t want to do anything.
"They fed me"
I know not everyone is loving how long the interrogation footage is, but I find it extremely interesting. I can’t believe how needlessly thorough he was and how patient the detectives were. Especially since I’ve had 6 concussions and it has significantly affected my memory! It’s also so shocking how committed he was to all of his lies. Thanks for the interesting video!

Well . . .I can't stand listening to lies/it's a marvel he didn't ``lawyer up,'' and it's a marvel how patient detective is/I listen w/half an ear, just waiting on detective to spring it on him that they found body parts at the farm.

He should have been arrested when he said “noonthirty”
Or when he answered the detectives what he discussed with the police during his first interaction at the station, his parents "missing ness". I would pay $89.95 to watch Chandler having to handle his new home, watching him struggle and cope with being in a bona fide gladiator academy prison would would be a chefs kiss in my book.
He should have just told his parents a story, they would have died of boredom

I feel terrible for laughing at this comment. 😅😅😅
Lmao
For someone with a brain injury, he has an incredible memory. I couldn’t tell you what I had for breakfast yesterday, much less last week. Or what TV shows I watched.
He was extremely dependent on his parents. I don’t know how he thought he would manage without them.
Fortunately he should have prison guards to take care of him from now on.
Amen to that...smile

I didn't know that dad told him they had a meeting at the school and that he texted him when the it was time and was dead 15 minutes later. Jesus.

truly i think that's just how men be talking about their girlfriends sometimes. tho tbf it's a red flag there too, yike
Man child Supreme
Was thinking the same thing
I am trying to imagine talking to the cops in an interrogation while trying to:
•maintain my innocence
•divulge small details in an effort to seem more forthcoming
•maintain that i currently have a debilitating head injury and corresponding loss of cognition
•suppress the inevitable memories of murdering, dismembering, and burning my parents' remains amidst answering questions
•attempt to default to their potential safe return throughout hours of interrogation despite knowing that's impossible
Anyone who could pull this off might end up fooling everyone, and would possibly be the most dangerous individual in the country.
I don't think Chandler is particularly smart. I would think an innocent person in this situation would think he was giving a statement to help the police find his parents. As soon as the questioning started to be about what he's been doing that week, he should have assumed the police suspected him, gone silent, and gotten a lawyer. It doesn't imply guilt like a lot of people think. It's just smart not to give the police anything when they are trying to pin something on you. The way Chandler seems to think he has to make up a story to outsmart the police seems idiotic. This is why Miranda rights exist in the first place: to protect the accused from incriminating themselves.
That's why any lawyer worth their salt will tell you to drink a big tall glass of STFU, and keep drinking
You know, after watching so many Dreading documentaries you folks have uploaded, I haven't ever said this before. Thank you for the way you investigate and bring as much material to the table. Thank you for how you analyze the footage, whether it's speculative or not. And, thank you for your pre-interrogation breakdowns as well as detailed timestaps and footage breakdowns. You do a ton of work to make these videos valid, and having them on youtube (despite the shame of this company demonetizing such crucial videos of the human experience) leaves lasting and valuable introspective views on the human condition.

This reminds me of that Canadian case where a girl, Jennifer, who also had a whole fake life to her parents and ended up orchestrating a hit on them.
I’m in Canada. Going to go look up Jennifer Pan now!
There was also that girl who pretended to be at college and when it came time for graduation she called in a bomb threat on the ceremony to stop her parents from going and finding out.
That was such a sad case. Her parents were undoubtedly abusive and controlling towards her, being the typical "Asian tiger parents", and she just broke. Doesn't excuse what she did whatsoever, but it was much more tragic for everyone all around, whereas this case, Chandler's parents are great, they just unfortunately birthed a bad egg.

Its allll part of the facade ! playing into the head injury thing and not feeling well, trying to get sympathy but also he thinks itll excuse any odd behavior.. it gives him an excuse to talk slow and get a few moee seconds to come up w answers and get his story straight. It comes off calm as well.. if hes monotonous then theres no peaks in emotion anywhrre giving them any indication of, anything really lol. Hes straight up crazyyyy !
@@mimo_7174 Yeah, he is playing up the fake illness, but a lot of clearly guilty suspects do the monotone voice thing (Chris Watts, Grant Amato, etc), and I think the rationale is that they think “calm and cooperative = seems innocent.” Police officers in other true crime vids have said most innocent people get testy or downright outraged if asked too many personal things or are accused of being involved in the crime, but guilty people will often not really react that much when accused except to feebly deny.

Seriously
Fabulated human. All digital.
One of my best friends from high school had a younger brother who reminds me a lot of Chandler, but he had been diagnosed with some type of autism or disorder and essentially had the mind of an 8 year old but was a massive dude at 6'4. He also lived off his parents, made up lies about his school and work, and even staged a robbery while his parents were away because he sold all their belongings to a pawn shop. When you met him it was clear something was seriously off but it's hard to describe exactly what it is.
Everyone's laughing about how much effort this guy went to fake his life, all I can focus on is how absolutely tragic this is.
His family showed incredible levels of care through a fake sickness, his dad spent hours arguing with fake advisors and a fake hr person.
His girlfriend thought her partner in life suffered life ruining injuries. His pseudo stepmom cared so much for him that she was willing to let him stay with her to avoid who she thought were abusive parents
All of this for a low life fuck who did everything he could to not get his life together.
I personally don’t laugh about how much effort he put into his fake life- I marvel at it. It’s just astounding that someone would really exert that much mental energy to continue his lazy lifestyle. It doesn’t make sense to me. I have tried speculating on how this makes sense to them and I’ve yet to come up with anything.

The sad part is his parents would have easily forgave him if theuy found out the last few years was a lie and could've gotten him help. That poor Krista had to watch her baby boy kill her so sad
The belief in heaven and an afterlife makes this worst. They both had to watch the truth about their child until their deaths, as well as the actions that took place after. Sawing their heads off. Burning their severed heads in their own home. Sleeping in that same room. Being a fucking idiot and googling stupid things to get caught. Dumping their bodies all over town like garbage. Jesus Christ is too good. Because this is fucked. This is very fucked.
I agree _ even if they didn't , he could of moved on & lived a life worth living! Yeah maybe they were " overbearing" he was a adult & unfortunately the outcome was murder of two loving parents! As parents we only want the best if our children
They would have expected change and they would've put on pressure by telling a milder version of it to company, which his ego wouldn't have been able to handle.
Couldn't even get his movies straight. He said Pretty in Pink and described Legally Blonde
I want to say great job for this video. I’ve watched the whole trial and other coverage and I love how you started off with Chandler’s version of reality. That was a wonderful opening.
This case gives me chills because it reminds me of an elaborate lie I told my parents. I told them I was going overseas for a job, when I was really going overseas to university for a major they didn’t approve of. I woke up at 5 in the morning for fake job interviews and everything! I felt so guilty about it that I eventually came clean and while they were still hurt that I lied to them, they understood why I did it.
I mean to be fair at least you were doing something with your lies. They weren’t intently malicious like Chandlers were.
When I was a young teenager, I turned into a pretty big liar toward my parents for a variety of reasons. But this is far beyond anything I ever did, or could ever imagine. This kid should never be let out of prison.

Wonder if his girlfriend and her mom ever fully realized the bullet they dodged. They were about to let him into the same exact housing situation he was currently in with his parents and couldn’t sustain.

I feel like shit whenever i realize how little I've done with my life, even though my mom doesn't put any pressure on me for my lack of effort or interest in becoming something better; I understand what is like to fear the possibility of disappointing your parents, of looking like an absolute loser. What i cannot understand, however, is when did murdering someone became a solution to being a loser... And murdering your family? That is beyond any failure.
howdy; 25 yr old jobless, freeloading manchild here. i'm a straight up textbook case of a Loser/Failure and i too reflect almost every other second on just how much of my life I've wasted living my leeching lifestyle, and even more so the many years of misery and resentment i forced onto my family and friends, all for my own lazy self-interest .
after a decade plus of NEET life livin, i can assure you that the 'cloud of comfort' eventually gives way and you're fallin from 1000 feet straight down into a pile of all those responsibilities that u ducked, personality disorders that u ignored, and all the many, many years of development and actualization you neglected while a NEET
@Natalie You might want to think of a better solution. You might not have someone to leech on forever and starting to search for solutions with 40 or 50 (when your parents are dead and everyone else is fed up with you) is almost impossible and you'll end up like this guy due to disperation. You don't have to work full time if you cannot, but you need a minimum to survive. Look for jobs with flexible schedule and jobs you can do from home. Nowadays you have more options than in the past.
@Natalie You can probably try to get government assistance.
@Natalie Government asst for SSDI is a way to make it vocational rehab, I was homeless many years from brain injuries and abuse. You got to continue moving forward. Im 45 with bipolar2, CPTSD, ADHD and a Mathematics disorder. I worked my whole life. When I won my Disability i got quit a bit of money back. Thank god i filed taxes. Don't give up just over labels, had quite a life....and still more to do. Next time I go to Germany, I will be speaking fluent German.....no matter what it takes. Where I suck in Mathematics, I was nearly gifted in English and Writing....there is always something. I'm very physically messed up now; I'm designing jewelry.....there are many ways around giving up!!
No longer to I subscribe to ANY crappy abuse situations. Those days are over.
@Natalie Take it one day at a time, you're still very young and you have time to figure stuff out if you've got a supportive family or friends. Hang in there! 😊
Next time my mom asks why I still don't want kids, I'm just going to refer her to this video.
Imagine if this boy-man had put this level of energy into his education/career. Astonishing.
not how it works
@@islixxnwhat works?
Well the problem is, yes it was a convoluted long form scheme/lie but he was not good at it at all. The simple emails explaining why he hasn’t been paid in weeks, the constant college issues. As soon as his dad had enough and looked into it for 5 minutes he found out what was going on and it cost him his life. All it would have took was his girl or parents to actually press him or look into what he was telling them and his whole scheme would have been over. They just took his word for everything no matter how ridiculous and far fetched it was. It’s amazing how someone this incredible stupid was able to fool so many people for so long. I think what it is, is his parents already know he’s a weirdo and not bright at all. His girl probably thought he was so whimpy and dorky that she just never questioned how he failed or lost every fake opportunity in his life. I still can’t understand what she saw in this weirdo. One conversation and the average person would think this kid is slow or something why does he talk like that?
@@troyperry411 I agree with your comments. He’s a pathetic waste. Also, he was speaking slow because he was keeping up the facade that he had a brain injury from the “fall.”
Must have eaten him alive that his brother was actually crushing it in the real world while he had to lie about all of his success.
I feel sorry for the parents, of course, but I also feel for the older brother. He's grieving his parents and the loss of the person he thought his brother was. Devastating. Also, the older brother hadn't done anything wrong, but now he will have to live with the stigma of being "that guy whose brother killed their parents."
He could lean into it and write a best selling book he could call it my brother the killer .
@@gamingforever9121 that’s the first time I’ve seen write spelled like that.
@@rebeccat7912 my apologies I was drunk when I typed this previous post
@@gamingforever9121 you should of just wrote your apology and left the original so we all can still get a chuckle.
Forget the stigma that's a handful of people. The fact he has to be in this world now without a family is the only tragedy.
