The Snapchat Clue | Sneak peek | Forensic Files

foreign [Music] duckster I am a local news reporter and in the summer of 2021 I was working as a
multimedia journalist for wisc news 3. news 3 now in Madison Wisconsin Madison is not New York City it's not La where
there's news happening all the time a missing person especially a husband and wife
that would be news the dean County Sheriff's Office shared this photo of Bart and Krista halderson today
interviewing neighbor are too many unanswered questions you know cars go off the road
um things happen you know there's a storm or there's a crash or XYZ you just don't know
my boss was calling her or emailing her or texting her I was doing the same I was texting Bart and there was just
never any response I met Krista through work at Zimbrick body shop and then I met her husband through her obviously
and then um you know they just did anything for anybody like even people they didn't
know so I'm on the Christa side we are related through my dad's side of the family and we mostly saw each other in
Wisconsin at our family Cottage cabin during Summers and family reunions they both gave 100 to raising their boys
Mitchell was a little more outgoing very easy going Chandler was a little more sensitive a little quieter her whole
goal for her being a mom was and I'm quoting her she said I want my children to be the best men they can be the
biggest concern for me is just figuring out where they are police say the couple
had planned to go to their cabin in langlade County our investigation began on July 7th when
Chandler reported his parents missing we knew exactly what Chandler had told us we knew that his two parents were gone
they had left for the Fourth of July weekend supposedly to go to their cabin in northern Wisconsin
I've never been assigned to a case where a couple is gone we ask even more questions to try to get a story and get
a timeline of when did the halthersons go missing and everything was just happening so fast in those first couple
of days when we first got the email saying that Bart and Krista were missing didn't compute like what do you mean
they're missing like they went up to the cabin and then it didn't come back huh did you think possibly they've been
in a car accident and just hadn't been found I thought about that or I did think
about the boat happened out on the lake and all these stories are swirling around and not making any sense
and it's you know taking weirder and weirder turns and we needed to search this area
because of how remote it is and wooded it is and the access to water to see if we could find any evidence
no way I would have ever ever guessed what was about to be revealed never nobody saw this coming
