By the age of 23, he was part of a Police scuba-diving and recovery team, he was about to graduate from college, he had a great job lined up with SpaceX in Florida and he held several academic certificates in engineering.

Within 48 hours, Chandler would go from the perfect son to the perfect sociopath hiding behind a facade of make-believe. Support us! Want ad free listening?
