    And then some of us had parents who were alcoholics or drug addicts who didn't give a f*ck about us. Not only did we finish school, put ourselves through college because our parents would never spend their precious money on us, but we've gone on to be self-supporting ppl who would never hurt a fly, even our abusive parents. This kid had the foundation we always wish we had & look at what he does.

    Same. Everything out of his mouth is a lie. He’s had several fake jobs, fake injuries, fake illnesses…all for some type of manipulation or monetary gain. When his lies reach their zenith he does extreme things. One time (after a sisters engagement ring went missing) he was arrested after a su!sidal standoff in a park with a knife. Another incident of money going missing from family he claimed to hit his head and had amnesia. The hospital could find nothing wrong with him (though he kept insisting on phantom symptoms) and they negotiated a one way bus ticket to get rid of him. These shenanigans have been going on all of his life. His latest claim is he was attacked by a stranger (bro is 6 ft tall, big guy) drugged, assaulted, and now has aids (which he says no longer will show up on a lab test) and needs $ for treatment. I won’t let him near me or my daughters. I do worry that one day when he’s backed into a corner about his lies it will turn deadly.

He showed absolutely no remorse, care, or sympathy, nor did it seem to faze him to the slightest degree..that is absolutely psychotic!

    You're lucky to have parents who care. My mom and her sister tried to stop me from going to college because they were worried about losing government benefits. I went anyway. I had to because the lack of care in my earlier years caused me to get kicked out of highschool for not meeting requirements or something and forcing me to get a GED. I also had to find out how to get a GED on my own. Luckily, through some commercial i happened to see on day time TV while wasting my life away doing nothing!When the time came to take the GED test after the required classes i needed a ride because public transportation didn't go that direction. My mom complained THE whole time about having to drive me for that ONE day and having to be there and stressing me out while I'm trying to focus on my tests. I had to do multiple tests all day. If i had an adult in my life that cared about my academic career in grade school i wouldn't even have been in the whole GED situation. Instead, I was lost and drifting around on my own. Grade school seems like a complete waste of time looking back on it. I was completely ignored and left behind by every adult. I wish I had gotten my GED in middle school and been done with it because i learned absolutely nothing new in high school. And it's not like i could get a car because I'm not allowed to get a job or else we might become homeless she says. I'm still trapped. My only outlet is college. The only time i feel happy is at school or when I'm doing homework. I get the praise and admiration from my teachers and peers that i never received growing up.

    I totally agree… And to be honest I think his parents kind of knew in their hearts but weren’t admitting it…because they mentioned that the counselor sounded like him, they were asking a lot of questions, and none of his lies really made sense. So yes, probably would’ve suffered through their short lived disappointment talks possibly, but it would have been a life lesson to learn from and move forward. But it seemed like he was so disillusioned with his own lies that he didn’t want his little made up life to end. How someone could harm anyone like that, let alone their own parents…Just so cold. And he seems absolutely fine in all those jail house correspondence they made public.

    You bring up a good point though (not to blame the victims, no excuse for what he did), but maybe from Chandler's view (show said he was sensitive) and his reaction to their tough love was more like a lifetime of ratcheting up pressures and expectations, then maybe he oversells his future plans of excellence, aiming high for his folks, and when he has a hiccup and flunks out and his little brother is doing better than him, and his parents can't stop praising the lie he carries on, and then they put up the ultimatum showdown for him and he comes armed. So maybe let the kids know you can be more open to failure, it builds more character than not failing. Let kids know they are young and have time. There is so much pressure to get it right on the first try and make every leap or hurdle.

    When you put together all the clues; making up grandiose stories about himself, lying to everyone about practically everything, cheating on his girlfriend and gloating about it to his friends, and then shooting, dismembering, burning, and dumping his parents, and finally in court when the only time he speaks it's about himself; that boy is a psychopath. No amount of wishing he'd have made "other choices" is going to matter. That kind of person doesn't make other choices. He probably also thought he'd performed the perfect crime even though his story had holes in it from one end to the other.

    It is postulated that there is a gene that results in a person being a psychopath. Psychopathy is on a spectrum. Chandler appears to be towards the last quarter. Nurture plays a large part, however, he was given every opportunity. Plus, loving parents it would appear. When under pressure, he turned to a despicable option - one worthy of a psychopath.

    @ilovebrandnewcarpets - Ted Bundy. Now _there’s_ an outgoing, charming, personable psychopath! I could go on, but you get my drift. You forgot two HUGE psychological characteristics….you should have included “LONER,” and “SOCIALLY MALADJUSTED,” and Halderson was NOT a loner, never had been, and he had a lot of friends and a girlfriend who loved him so much that she stood by him until the trial. Your comment is way too generalized and misleading….just because a boy or young man is shy and sensitive does not make him a murderer or serial killer! The difference is a serious, hidden personality disorder that Halderson’s parents may not have ever seen or suspected; as a psychologist, I would say I suspect that he’s a covert narcissist, because they can be very violent when faced with widespread disclosure of deception or wrongdoing, usually towards the people closest to them. I’d truly advise you to give up trying to peg people!

    The family friend shows more emotion than Chandler. It is appalling how the son could go to mercilessly killing both his parents but at the same time meticulously hiding and burning down the evidences. Not only that, he also pretended to go around the neighbourhood looking concerned about his parents disappearance. It is absolutely unfathomable to what extent a person can be deceiving.

Graduation night (he lied and said he couldn’t walk with his class for unknown reasons), the parents took him out for dinner, and when they all arrived home? There was a shooter. Everyone was shot but the son who supposedly just graduated. He had set up the entire scenario. Paid to have his parents and brother slaughtered, just to hide his deception…………….. pure evil.

But he chose the absolute worst thing anyone could ever do, and now he's gonna pay a heavy price. I don't see him staying in prison forever, he'll go nuts, I think they'll probably find him hanging in his cell, or he'll take an overdose of stashed pills of some kind. there's ways to do it in prison. just Imagine his boring life in a cell, you can't sleep all the time, he gets up, sits on the edge of his bed, maybe read some letters if he gets any, and then eat breakfast, take a dump, and lay back down with a book maybe, and wait for the lunch tray, that's about the extent of it, no more gash ever, real exciting. 😒😒😒

    And here we are again, standing before the ultimate flaw: a person adamantly refusing to face their own mistakes, their own lies.. Refusing for once to tell the truth and to confront the consequences. More often than not, a parent's love can exceed expectations - but to a disturbed kid like that, it's the end. Heartbreaking. May we know better, be and choose wiser.

    Ever since my children could talk, we ingrained into them that there was NOTHING that they couldn't tell us. That no matter whatever happened in their lives, we would support them, even if they broke sacred rules. We imparted to them that we would NEVER judge them, that disappointment, did not equal condemnation. That there was ALWAYS a solution. All they had to do was bring their burden to us, to figure out together. Not only did that work, they also went ahead and sent some of their troubled friends to talk to us. That's how much we impressed that notion on them.

    I am sure Bart and Christa brought up their sons the way you describe. It’s obvious listening to their family and friends that Bart and Christa were amazing, kindhearted, loving, caring, parents….Mitchell is proof of that….Chandler didn’t care about anyone or anything but himself…. He is evil….his parents, family, friends meant absolutely nothing to him.

    That is really really beautiful and powerful that you put such an emphasis on this with your children. Thank you for sharing. Many children have an intense fear of letting their parents down, thus will lie and betray (of course, this case is beyond extreme). But when a parent emphasizes such acceptance, you realize your loved for who you are, not for what you achieve.

    You were wonderful parents. Mine said the same thing, but when I loved someone out of our faith and chose to leave that faith they disowned me. Promises are just words unless they back it up. Sounds like you practiced what you preached.

    She believed him for a long time after his arrest. I mean up until trial. You can KZread their jail calls. It’s strange since she must have realized he dumped the torso on crescent’s land. I’m sure she loved him. He kept manipulating her to send him money. Hope he is not being sent any now.

    @@britth5333 She strikes me as someone who has a very trusting nature and always sees the best in people. And that's why Chandler was able to manipulate her for so long. For an unrepentant liar like him, it's like striking gold to find someone like her. His life was so full of good people who cared about him and he threw it all away to protect the fantasy life he never had.

    The attorneys have to do what the client says - except they can't knowingly lie. (Saying he was guilty in closing arguments isn't considered "lying" - ironic, huh. I definitely agree they shouldn't have done a closing or cross-examined any witnesses. That made they seem stupid but again they have to do what he says.

    The youngest son reminds me of someone I knew with psychopathic tendencies. What is it about boys born in the late 90s, there’s a certain subversive anti authoritarian thing going on with some. ‘Chandler’ has a quality in his face, his demeanour that I’ve seen before and it frightens me. Edit: due to comments on comments being blocked - I only said he reminds me of someone. A valid comment, thanks!
