They were found uh Sunday afternoon, July 7th. My dad and his fiance Karen were shot

00:00:10

and killed in their beds. I was 17 and my brother was 15. And there was just shock.

00:00:21

The killer made it downstairs, shot Karen Harkness multiple times, shot Mike Cisco multiple times. Whoever it was

00:00:29

that did this hated these people. The only person that hated them was my mom. Dana, what should people understand

00:00:39

about the fact that you, Dana Chandler's daughter, thinks Dana Chandler killed your father? I do have a mind of my own

00:00:47

and I'm not biased in this situation. I don't want it to be her. I want the truth to come out.

00:00:56

I wanted to help the police, so I started to record my conversations with her. I think that the only way I

00:01:06

can really move on with a relationship with you is if we can get it, you know, if you can just tell me yourself that

00:01:14

you did it. You know, number one, I didn't do it. And number one, I don't number two, I don't know what happened

00:01:19

to Kaylee. Did you know anything about the death of Michael and Karen? I have no idea what happened to Michael and

00:01:24

Karen. I hit a point where I didn't know if justice would ever be served. I needed justice for my dad and for

00:01:38

Karen. We the jury find the defendant guilty of the crime of murder in the first degree. I feel better in the sense

00:01:45

that my dad's killer is paying for their actions. I don't feel better that my mom is

00:01:55

capable of killing my dad. And then the Kansas Supreme Court comes and says, "This is

00:02:01

prosecutorial misconduct. We're going to go ahead and overturn her conviction. You have a new trial.

00:02:09

My liberty, my freedom is hanging in the balance." Bring out something to prove she didn't do it. That's for her and her

00:02:18

own freedom. But she can't and she hasn't. I did not kill Mike Cisco. She would not hesitate to get revenge on me.

00:02:27

I did not kill Karen Hartness. I know the truth. I am an innocent woman. The truth is that she murdered them.

00:02:38

She scares me. Your mom scares you. Yeah.
