Independence Air Connecting Fares are Strange (High)

I was looking at some fares on the Independence Air website and found some strangely high fares for connecting flights. Here is an example.

On Tuesday, June 29, 1 way fares from ORD to IAD are $69.
On Tuesday, June 29, 1 way fares from IAD to ATL are $59.

However, if you try to book a connection from ORD to ATL via IAD using the exact same flights, the 1 way fare is $194. That's $56 more than if you book the two segments separately.

Has anyone found this on other routes? Is this an error?
