The Bone Breaker of Baraboo | The Unimaginable Survival of Thad Phillips

Support Thad Phillips ⚠️ LISTENER WARNING: This episode contains highly graphic details of severe, prolonged physical abuse. Listener discretion is strongly advised. A 13-year-old boy is abducted from his couch in the dead of night and forced into a 43-hour fight for his life. In July 1995, the quiet town of Baraboo, Wisconsin, was rocked when Thad Phillips was kidnapped and tortured by a local teenager named Joe Clark (later known as the "Baraboo Bone Breaker"). Thad’s miraculous survival and harrowing 911 call didn't just save his own life; his incredible bravery ultimately solved the cold case murder of 14-year-old Chris Steiner. Join Ashley and Ricky on this week’s Crime Salad as we dive into one of the most shocking kidnapping survival stories in true crime history.
