I am also a recovering drug addict, been clean for over 7 years now, but this case hit especially close to home because I was in a situation very similar to Chandler’s. I had loving parents who worked incredibly hard for myself and my two brothers, however I started hanging out with the wrong crowd and made a lot of bad decisions. Because of that, I had to drop out of college after a year and a half due to finances and grades not being up to par, but lied to my parents and made them believe I was still enrolled. I’ll never forget those hours sitting alone in my car, having no idea what I was gonna do, and weeks went by where I just racked my brain trying to figure out what I was going to do. The thought of killing my parents never once crossed my mind, unfortunately I did think about doing that to myself, that’s how distraught I was. Eventually, with the help of my aunt and uncle, I came clean to my parents and told them everything that had been going on. It was such a relief that I no longer had to live that lie. They honestly were only angry with me because I had lied to them, if I told the truth, they would’ve helped me find a solution much sooner. I voluntarily went to a rehab facility for 28 days and was able to get things back on track, and now our relationship is better than ever. I learned it’s always better to stand on the ground and tell the truth, rather than climb a tree to tell a lie. So I don’t know what Chandler thought was gonna happen if he had just told his parents the truth. I’d imagine they would’ve done anything they could to help him, from what I’ve heard, they seemed like loving parents. That’s why this case was so gut wrenching. It was completely senseless, Chandler’s situation could’ve been fixed through some hard work and patience, but he chose a much more evil and cowardly solution, one which cannot be fixed. He deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison.

@@n00dles79 it's got nothing to do with decency, people don't always lie for bad reasons but maybe because they got themselves into something that overwhelmed them and it went so deep they found no other way. I found myself in a similiar situation not long ago but it was cause I was in early stages of my depression which I didn't know then and a few days of not being able to get up and being absent turned into over a year. I felt too ashamed to show up in university and I felt so guilty and ashamed I couldn't bring myself to disappoint my dad admitting I lied to him so much. Everyday I went out in the morning and came back in the evening, sitting my ass flat in the library or just driving around until I deemed it late enough to go back home. You're anxious and on edge every day, you don't sleep anymore. It's like backing yourself into a corner and you hate that you're lying but you don't wanna disappoint the people you love so you keep on lying and it's a toxic cycle and I felt absolutely helpless. Original commenter is right, it is highly anxiety inducing, I started to have suicidal thoughts at one point to finally make the torture I was subjecting myself to stop and to spare myself disappointing my parents with the truth. I think this is less about lying but rather what you do with your lies. I was found out but didn't murder my parents and that's where I guess where one can speak about having decency cause no decent person murders their parents for lying to them. Usually people would want to flee by hurting themselves, yet chandler chose to kill his parents and it makes me think he was just a massive asshole.

I'm going to guess he thought he would get away with it. He believed he could lie well enough. I think that is fairly common among people who commit premeditated murder. In his mind he would be able to burn his parents remains in the fireplace and they would disappear. Truth is you can forge steel at the temps the crematorium operates at. I also think his motivation was the life insurance. If his brother would have been around he would have killed him too. more money. Not so much the shame, though I am sure that was a factor.

Listening to Barts call with the admin office is heartbreaking. He sounds so polite and legitimately concerned for his kid, not like an angry dad that just busted his kid lying. Chandler was lucky to have parents supporting him. It’s sad that some kids just grow up and turn out to be losers as adults.

I can say one thing, trying to maintain a lie of not having a job is hard as heck enough to maintain, been there, done that, adding curricular acheivements onto that as well.. Heck no. I regret ever being such a depressed turd that I'd ever lie to my family about that. Thankfully, getting better mentally, relationship has started building trust up again.

To kill his parents he must be a psychopath. The parents likely knew something was very wrong with him, but wanted him to grow up. The lack of emotion is a telltale of psychopathy.

It wasn't just that he was afraid of disappointing his parents, he was planning to continue to lie to his girlfriend, Kat. He most likely was also thinking about the 1 million dollars life insurance money that he got to split with his brother. With that money, he could start his new life with his girlfriend, even if he didn't have a degree or a job. As long as he had money, his girlfriend wouldn't know he didn't really have a job and frankly probably wouldn't care. The last thing he cared about was what his parents thought. He only cared how the lies would catch up with him and how he could lose everything including his girlfriend. Nature vs nurture - in this case definitely nature!

Chandler says he's not doing well, and the cop says "Good good"...pure gold.

I think it's significant that when Chandler mentions the cabin he doesn't say, "My family has a cabin up north" he always says it's his "parents' cabin". I can't think of anyone else I have ever heard made that sort of distinction but as he was weaving his tale of lies to the media, he said, "My parents have a cabin". That immediately set off red flags for me because to me that just proves how removed he felt from his parents. Another example is when he mentioned that his father (stupidly) probably reached into the fireplace and cut his arm and he doesn't say, "My father" did that or "My dad" did that. He said, "That guy" did that. I can't imagine referring to my father as "that guy". Also, when the reporter asked him, "How are you getting through this?" if that had been MY parents, I would have said something like, "Well, it's very difficult but I'm just trying to make it through one day at a time and I'm hoping for the best." Our boy Chandler thought that was the time when he should explain that some neighbors had brought him pizza. It seems to me that Chandler has a heart that is ten sizes too small! I'm glad he is where he is and that he will be there for the rest of his life.

I'm the CBS -Madison reporter shown about 8 mins in. I appreciate how you used the local media reports to tell the story. A couple of interesting tidbits of extra details, since no one asked for them: -Chandler was so open to talking with us, and did the three separate interviews over the course of a half hour with local media. -His only request was that he not be shown on camera, but was okay with being recorded - hence why you hear his recorded voice but don't see him in our reports -Police had reason to suspect him as a killer at the time we talked to him. Dane Co Sheriff's Office wasn't taking interviews at the time, which is bizarre considering it was a missing person's report (they'd usually talk to us in order to get the word out about the people who are missing). But essentially, PD suspected something was up at the time but we all went there and talked to him anyways. I myself was alone when we talked. It was just me and him at his front door. He was arrested that night. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't somewhat disappointed we didn't hear from Chandler during the trial. Oh well. Either way, it's an interview I'll never forget.

"Do you know if it was an awful accident?" What a tragic accident to be shot, butchered, attempted to be burned, and the remains scattered in different areas. What an accident

I just got done watching the entire trial on YT the other day and I gotta say, it was the the first trial I've watched that I didn't skip any of the witnesses. The judge was simply delightful, the prosecutor was precise, polite and the best part is that the defense didn't object every question. In fact , the defense didn't do much of anything.

Honestly, this guy worked harder at killing his parents then he did at anything in his life. Given his track record I would have expected him to have just left the bodies where he shot them because he couldn't be bothered to lift a finger to do anything else. I laughed so loud at one point I scared my dog. Thanks, Mike, for all you do.

Dismembering a dead body pales in comparison to taking someone's life.

Both of my parents passed away, I would do anything to get 5 more minutes with either one of them. In my 38 years with them, killing them never even was ever a thought in my head. Ever. I don’t understand how kids can kill their parents. I just don’t get it.

I'm from the UK and have only just heard about this case. All those fictitious people, all those fictitious email accounts, all those fictitious email conversations. And then all the chopping up and burning and disposal of body parts. If only he'd spent all that time on industrious labour, his dad would have been very proud of him!

It’s the fact they told him his parents were murdered & he had no emotion at all . They should have known he was the person . Then him wanting to see what’s on the security cameras is another red flag 🚩.
