Episode 143 - The Disappearance of Jacob Millison

The Minds of Madness - True Crime Stories

11/21/22 • 41 min

If you’ve ever watched shows like Yellowstone - you know that sometimes out west on a Ranch, there are secrets: secrets never supposed to leave the corral.
This was something a ranch hand would discover firsthand, in Gunnison, Colorado in 2017, after witnessing two other ranchers, uncover something horrific. While digging in the horse corral with a backhoe...they unearthed what appeared to be rib bones...human rib bones - poking out from a dirty white sheet of plastic.
It was at that moment the ranch hand was told: “You know you can’t ever leave now, right?”

Episode 121 - Part 2/2 - Alive But Still Not Free

The Minds of Madness - True Crime Stories

01/24/22 • 54 min

After Nicole Addimando fatally shot her partner in what she claimed was self-defense, she was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. At her trial the details surrounding her history of abuse were excluded, essentially removing the context for what happened the night of the shooting from the jury.
As much as this case examines the darker side of the judicial system it also highlights human strength and the immense power of friendship, love, and compassion - the unstoppable force behind a group of women who have fought fiercely to bring not only Nikki’s truth to light but the injustice all criminalized survivors of intimate partner violence face.
