Bart and Krista Go Missing | Chapter 1
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.

I spoke to Omar Jobe. | Chapter 5
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.

Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast lots of prison phone calls and interviews
I highly recommend this podcast he does an amazing job!! Loads of things you won’t hear on any other podcast. I follow at least 50 plus podcasts and trust me this one is worth listening!!!!
Wow
My dude. All these topics are so horrendous that I feel genuinely sorry for you that you did such deep dives and extensive research. I also thank you so that none of us have to. Due to my job, I am quite desensitized to a lot of horrible things, but so far all the seasons I’ve listened to, I’ve been absolutely shook and that takes a lot these days. The journalism is very well done with tasteful presentation, a great voice and that extra level of detail that this audience is clearly looking for. Thanks for all your hard work and don’t stop!
10/10
Probably the only podcast out of many that I listen to that I count down the days for the next episode. Season 10 so far has been the most exhilarating, shocking and saddening ones to date. Thank you Tz.
