EP. 229 - WISCONSIN - The Baraboo Bone Breaker

Thad’s feet were twisted backwards, his thighs swollen to the size of basketballs, and his body just hours from death. But, in spite of the pain, Thad told them everything: That his attacker was just 17. That he loved the sound of breaking bones. And, most importantly, that he wasn’t his attackers’ only victim. He was just the only one who survived.This is the story of Joseph Clark, the Baraboo Bone Breaker. - Sources: Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - -Apple Podcasts - -Amazon/Audible - -Pandora - -iHeart - -PocketCast - -CastBox - - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: Instagram: Facebook: Twitter: TikTok: and Feeling spooky?
