In 2010, Algarad was charged with accessory after the fact in connection with the shooting death of Joseph Emmrick Chandler of Clemmons.

The mother was listed in court documents as living at the same address as Algarad and Burch.According to court documents in the Chandler case, a mental health examination determined Algarad showed signs of paranoid schizophrenia, agoraphobia and manic depression. Court documents also concluded Algarad's ability to proceed to trial was in question.Neighbors told WXII that the investigation had been taking place on Knob Hill Road since Sunday morning.
