Their 23-year-old son Chandler told people his parents had gone up north to spend the weekend at their cabin with another couple, and he had no idea about their disappearance. Here's a clip from our program.

And then the question is, OK, if they're not at the cabin, where are they?

And spoiler alert here, you probably know, by the way, if you saw our 2020 episode, Bart and Krista Halderson are not alive, sadly. Their remains show up in the most grisly way possible. And this is a story that unwinds in a way that is unimaginable.

And you too. Unfortunately, we always meet under some circumstances that are less than savory. And this is one of them, a story set in a bucolic part of the country. The Halderson family lives near Madison, Wisconsin. Friends telling us that the 4th of July was their favorite holiday. And this is a program that was so beautifully shot when you think about that part of the country.

It's summertime, wintertime. parades for the Fourth of July, the lakes, the outdoor recreation, and then the deaths of the Haldersons at the hands of their youngest son is such an unbelievable contrast. I can imagine why this story struck such a chord nationally and internationally. I mean, when you look at like the heartland and then this.
