A week later on July 14, a pair of dismembered legs, identified as Krista Halderson, were found near the Wisconsin River, a spot Chandler often visited.

Chandler was arrested initially for lying to detectives but would be subsequently charged with the murders and dismemberments of his parents.

Prosecutors argued that Chandler murdered his parents after they discovered he was lying about various aspects of his life.

Chandler had stated numerous times that he was attending Madison Area Technical College, was an employee with the local branch of American Family Insurance and was planning to move to Titusville, Florida, with his girlfriend Cathryn Mellender, where he would be working at SpaceX.

Halderson was convicted on all charges and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Thursday, March 17, 2022.
