Authorities on Monday indicated they believe a 23-year-old Windsor man shot and dismembered his father before dumping him in a rural area, then lied to investigators by telling them both his parents had gone away for the Fourth of July weekend and never returned.

No charges have been filed yet against Chandler M. Halderson in the death of Bart A. Halderson, 50. His wife and Chandler’s mother, Krista, 53, remains missing. The three shared a home on Oak Springs Circle that is now considered a crime scene.

'Extremely complex investigation': Son of missing Windsor couple held on $10K cash bond; charges expected later this week
MADISON, Wis. — The son of a missing Windsor couple is being held on a $10,000 cash bond after prosecutors argued for bond to be set as high as $1 million.

Chandler Halderson, 23, appeared in court Monday for a bail hearing after he was taken into custody last week for providing false information related to the investigation. Deputy District Attorney William Brown asked the court to issue the million dollar bond for Halderson, despite not yet having formally filed charges against him.
Brown said the state plans to file charges against Halderson by Thursday.

Town of Cottage Grove residents shocked by grisly discovery
TOWN OF COTTAGE GROVE (WKOW) -- People living near a Town of Cottage property where the dismembered remains of a missing man were discovered say they're shocked by this disturbing anomaly to their otherwise serene setting.


"It's very upsetting," says Cari Dahl, who lives on Nora Road. "This is a rustic (place)."


Neighbors and sources tell 27 News Dane County Sheriff's personnel have been focused for days on a property in the 35-hundred block of Earlwyn Road in their search for Bart and Krista Halderson of Windsor. Authorities Monday said the remains of Bart Halderson were found in a rural section of the Town of Cottage Grove.
 
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.

Just spoke with a neighbor who did not want to be identified or speak on camera. They said law enforcement have been at this house around the clock for the last several days. Said the whole situation is jarring for this small neighborhood.

I spoke with multiple neighbors who all declined to speak on camera. They all say they have been devastated since learning about the Haldersons. One neighbor told me Chandler Halderson came to her house last Thursday and asked if she had security cameras …

… at the time, she didn’t. She said in the past week, she’s had them installed because she and her family are spooked.

'Didn't feel bad about what I did': Halderson complaint reveals more remains found, son's comments
Near the end of his interview with law enforcement following his arrest, Halderson also reportedly made several unsolicited comments after questioning had ended. According to Detective Hendrickson with the Dane County Sheriff’s Office, Halderson, after invoking his right to an attorney, said he wanted to “go back up” and “tell [him] everything.”

“You don’t know the whole story,” Halderson reportedly said.

When asked if he was suicidal, investigators say Halderson responded by saying he “didn’t feel bad about what I did.”

He is currently being held in the Dane County Jail on a $1 million bond.
