Hi there, everybody. It's Deborah Roberts with 2020 The After Show. This was a story that made national and international headlines. A Wisconsin couple goes missing over the 4th of July weekend, and family and friends tell us that Bart and Krista Halderson were beloved parents. They couldn't imagine who'd want to hurt them.
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.
We didn't have a name. We didn't have a vehicle. We didn't have a location. Truly looking for a needle in a 900-square-mile haystack.
And then the question is, OK, if they're not at the cabin, where are they?
There were no bodies. There was no anything. So we didn't know what happened. But of course, your mind goes to, did the worst happen? Are Bart and Krista still alive?
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.
Joining me to talk about this case is my friend and colleague, Ryan Smith, an ABC News contributor and legal analyst who traveled to Wisconsin to bring us this story. Hey there, Ryan.
Hey, Deborah. Always great to talk to you.
