Chandler Halderson Resident Evil: Parricide Waiting to Happen

When we were first introduced via his arrest, on the surface, Chandler Halderson looked a bit vacant and inoffensive, belying the true character beneath this grossly misleading façade. On closer and deeper inspection, his piercing, penetrating, unsettling, fixed gaze became a doorway that led to a deadly, macabre soul. This 23-year-old young man walked up behind his father and shot him at least three times in the torso and back of the neck, and killed his mother by some unknown method, quite probably using the same rifle. We have no way of knowing which of the deaths came first. However, as research into such parricides shows, it was likely Dad was his first victim. He then chopped his parents heads off with an axe and incinerated them in the fireplace of the room he temporarily occupied in the family home. He removed the limbs from their bodies, cutting through muscle, tissue and bone, using a variety of implements: a pruning saw, tree loppers, hacksaw and scissors. So he wouldn’t make a mess on the floor, and facilitate easy clean-up of the crime scene, he briefly departed to buy a black and silver tarp from a local store. A forensic numerological criminal profile and analysis of Chandler, the perpetrator and Bart and Krista Halderson, his parental victims.
