Has it been mentioned if he was adopted or is he their biological son? I'm just guessing because he looks like neither one of them.
He's their bio son afaik. IMO he looks VERY similar build and coloring wise to his older brother who greatly resembles Krista facially. If he gained ~30-40 pounds I think he would look a lot more like Bart in the face, he just doesn't weigh very much.

Interesting there is no dates listed for when he was seen in the acquaintances property with the trunk open. Was that reported before or after he reported them missing? I see he did that on the 7th so which day between the 1st and the 7th did someone notice him on their property. Did they not report that until the missing person report was filed? If I saw someone on my property I'd go look right away and not wait. Just interesting and it will be nice to find out those other details. Was it an actual real time sighting or was it on some camera they have installed in that area? Is it visible form the house or ??

It was mentioned that it was a real-time sighting on July 5th either during the DCSO presser from yesterday or the bail hearing video, I do not remember which. The witness saw CH with the hatch of his vehicle open reversing it in an "odd spot" near the woods on her property. This was a person that was called an "acquaintance" of CH who lives in Cottage Grove.

Oh interesting. So now I'm curious if they did anything that day? It would seem not if the body wasn't discovered until later. I guess they maybe reported it after the son filed the missing person report and then they thought of the incident the days before. I am horrified thinking of what happened between July 1st and 5th. What did he do and where? Ugh I hope whatever it was it was quick. :(

The MP investigation was not started until the 7th. CH lied to the police for 2 days before BH's body was found.

Sorry I didn't make it clear what I was asking!

If the female acquaintance saw the son on the 5th on her property, did she report that on the 5th?

I was guessing not since at that point nobody was reported missing so the acquaintance wouldn't even know the parents were missing on the 5th.

She saw this the 5th

He reported the parents missing the 7th

She likely realized then that what she saw the 5th was really more concerning than she may have originally thought and told the police.

At some point after that the torso is discovered.

LE said the torso was discovered on the afternoon of the 8th and CH was arrested a few hours later.

I'm curious about the 1st to the 5th. Were they alive and he was holding them somehow? Was he trying to get money from them? Did he kill them right away and keep themsomewhere? If he didn't start cleaning things up till the 5th-7th and he was definately seen the 5th leaving the torso, then were is the rest of them? What the heck happened in those hours between when anyone else saw them and when he was arrested? Ugh I am sure LE knows much more, but my mind has so many questions! Did anyone else suspect something wrong? Did their other kids try to call them? Did they tell any of the other kids or family/friends they were going anywhere? Were they expected to be at any 4th of July festivities that they didn't show up for? If he didn't harm them until the 5th or close to it, where were they before that?

Has there been a mention of a crime scene? Did the murders/dismemberment happen at the Halderson home? If so, this kid really is delusional, no amount of cleaning supplies is going to cover that. Here's the location of the family home Google Maps

Looks like for Earlwyn we are looking at the property on the right side of the map that has quite a few acres, and for OSC (Haldersons' house) we've got a body of water nearby. My goodness.

Did some research on the Earlwyn property and it says it is 33 acres and held in trust. Don't want to post the rest of the info, but it is not shocking that LE has been searching it for days.

Yes, the prosecutor said the home was an active crime scene at the bond hearing so Chaz would have to find another place to stay if he bonded out.

Wisconsin man accused of killing, dismembering dad as mom remains missing, cops say
 
Case of missing Windsor couple turns to homicide investigation
More local coverage from the Lake Mills Leader, which is the paper for a town about 35 minutes from Windsor.

The Dane County Medical Examiner announced Monday that it has identified human remains found in the Town of Cottage Grove and the Sheriff‘’s Office is now pursuing a homicide investigation in the Village of Windsor.

A spare handful of comments in a bond hearing on Monday afternoon have suggested violent details at the heart of the cryptic statements offered by Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett in a press conference on July 9 as he gave updates on the search for two missing Windsor residents last seen on July 1.

Thanks. I wonder if they are searching the water behind the home, ugh what a thought. It's very small, but I shudder at the thought of what he may have done with the rest of his Dad. Here's the map view Google Maps

I can think of multiple more secluded areas in Dane County including a village park on Lake Mendota where one can reverse with the hatch of their car open and dump a body... I would guess that water search is a thing that's happening, given the fact he was a champion swimmer growing up: Chaz Halderson | Swimcloud

ETA found this news item from 2014 that might give you a bit of insite on CH Prep Profile: Chaz Halderson, swimming, Plymouth
