    S9, Chapter 5: I spoke to Omar Jobe. Mar 25, 2024
    Show notes

    The date was June 29, 2021. An ordinary Tuesday afternoon.
    But in just two days time, Bart and Krista Halderson would be dead. Their body parts strewn across rural Wisconsin.
    Omar Jobe, 33-years-old, answers the phone while working his job at the Madison Area Technical College help desk. He's connected with a man named Bart Halderson (pictured below).
    Bart would assume his son's identity in an attempt to get to the bottom of a seemingly impossible, year-long struggle to obtain his son’s college transcripts.
    And it's during this phone call that Bart would finally learn the truth about his son's academic situation. Chandler Halderson's intricate web of lies was about to be unspun—one thread at a time.
    This is Chapter 5 in a multi-part series. Please start at the beginning if you're new to the story.

    S9, Chapter 1: Bart and Krista Go Missing Feb 07, 2024
    Show notes

    A jailhouse phone call.
    An interesting phenomena in its own right. The prison industrial complex in the USA generates an estimated 1.3 billions per year. In March of 2020, when the Dane County Jail stopped all in-person visitations due to the rapid spread of the Covid-19 virus they implemented a policy in which every inmate was allotted two 15-minute phone calls per day.
    No matter if it's free or charged, if you happen to be on either end of a jailhouse phone call you should be aware this is not a normal phone call.
    That’s because there’s an inherent irony in this kind of call. Especially one that takes place pre-trial—like the one you hear at the beginning of this episode between Chandler Halderson and his girlfriend Catherine. And the irony is this.
    You’re free to talk about nearly any subject you'd like—except for the one that you both would like most to discuss.

    The Haldersons | Trailer Feb 06, 2024
    Show notes

    Bart and Krista Halderson went missing in July of 2021. Their bodies were found dismembered, decapitated, and strewn throughout rural Wisconsin. The last person to see them alive was their son, Chandler, and he quickly became the lead suspect in a criminal case. But what could possibly lead a person to murder their own parents?
    This is "The Haldersons" presented by Tapes from the Darkside.

    S8, Chapter 6: Requiem for a Son Oct 02, 2023
    Show notes

    “In the end, however, despite all the mystery still surrounding Otto, it is essential to remember two facts that endure as unyielding as gravestones: Otto’s death and the grief of those he left behind.” —Doug Bock Clark, investigative reporter

    S8, Chapter 5: Homecoming Sep 25, 2023
    Show notes

    The intricacies of international diplomacy and political power-plays unravel while a young man's life hangs in the balance.
    While Otto Warmbier faces 15 years in a North Korean prison camp, the tension between superpowers begins to boil, political tides shift, and strategies of the past are weighed against the fate of an American held hostage abroad.
    Amidst these high-stakes negotiations, who could anticipate a former NBA legend would come to play a critical role in the process?
