Joe "The Bonebreaker" Clark: Part 1

Thad Phillips was a 13-year-old boy who was kidnapped and tortured on the evening of Saturday, July 29, 1995, in Baraboo, Wisconsin. He had fallen asleep on the couch with his sister, and the front door was unlocked as the family believed the area was safe. Thad briefly woke up to the sensation of being lifted, initially assuming his father was bringing him to his room, but the event was actually a kidnapping. A harrowing 911 call by 14-year-old Thad Phillips a year after another local boy's death brought to light a man in the neighborhood known as the 'Bonebreaker'. This incident led to a change in the ruling of the earlier death and horrified the community. A Baraboo man, the survivor of the kidnapping by the 'Bonebreaker,' was later awarded at least $21 million in a torture case, though he hadn't received the money two decades later.
