The Murder of Melissa Platt: Interview with Michelle Mims

03/28/22 • 57 min

Melissa Sue Platt was a bright shining soul in her family’s life. Her and her sister, Michelle, were two peas in a pod, and basically twins. Until one day, their mom tried to get ahold of Melissa, and couldn’t. Finally, Melissa’s boyfriend at the time (who had a long history of domestic abuse) cut her family off completely and unplugged the answering machine. A welfare check on Melissa, turned into a gruesome rescue when officers found her alone, bruised, bleeding with a broken jaw and unresponsive. She was naked, wrapped in a blanket and had been there between 6-11 days. The explanation? She “fell in the bathroom,” then “she fell on the porch outside.” Neither one made sense, however, no charges had ever been filed. But the tides may be turning in the family’s favor, as after over a decade of hard work and endurance, they’re finally close to getting answers and getting justice for Melissa.

(FYI Don't forget to listen to *Episode 17* on Melissa's case for the complete background before listening to this episode)

I'm very thankful to Michelle for coming on and bravely sharing her sister's story. Listeners, please considering following her social medias to stay up to date with the case & please consider giving to support the family.

Thanks for the support, and stay safe.
