244: Free Gracie

On January 2, 1935 around approximately 1:20pm, a well dressed younger looking man checked in to the Hotel President in Kansas City. The man seemed.. troubled.. as if he was avoiding someone, or some thing. As several days progressed, it was noted by hotel staff that the man was exhibiting some very unusual behaviors… but they had no idea of the horror that would soon unfold. The question still remains to this day…what happened in room 1046??? Seriously, what happened?????

On the day of August 23rd 2019 Michael Chad Breinholt showed up to his girlfriend’s work; although intoxicated, he also showed signs of severe mental distress.  The police were called due to a concern with Chad’s overall state and well being. Chad was taken into custody.  Despite numerous cries for help, Chad’s mental health was never assessed.  As Chad himself was an advocate for mental health and addiction treatment, his story is a prime example of a desperate need for mental health awareness and appropriate treatment.
