Parents lied to cops to protect son who killed a woman, mutilated her and hid parts of her body at their home

76-year-old James Howard Chance and 63-year-old Barbara Louise Chance have been charged with being accessories after the fact and perjury in the death of 30-year-old Ashley Young
UPDATED DEC 14, 2018

The parents of a man accused of murdering a woman and mutilating her body before hiding it at his home have been charged with perjury after it emerged that they were aware of the existence of the body and didn't report it to the police. A probable cause affidavit states that 76-year-old James Howard Chance and 63-year-old Barbara Louise Chance did not bring their knowledge about their 29-year-old son Jared Chance's alleged crime to the police and purposefully gave false testimony to help him escape justice.

According to Oxygen, Jared was arrested and charged in connection to 30-year-old Ashley Young's in Holland, Michigan, on December 2. His crime came to light after a tenant in the lower level of his rental unit noticed a tarp leaking blood in their shared basement and reported it to the police. On investigation, they discovered an eviscerated body that was later determined to belong to Young via DNA testing.
