The Minds of Madness - True Crime Stories

Police in the Chicago suburbs were stunned in 1995 when a family dog brought home a severed human left leg and then again, five days later another leg.
Over several months, numerous body parts from the same victim would be discovered scattered along the border between Wisconsin and Illinois. Whoever had done this, had gone through painstaking efforts to dispose of their victim.

Lost Girls of The Mesa
Albuquerque Tribune (Montoya)

Andres Shirm spent his entire childhood terrified of a man his family thought was responsible for his mother - Jennifer Lynn Shirm's disappearance. Even the site of the man’s photo sent Andy into full-on panic attacks.
Although he'd eventually learn that his mother hadn't just been taken - she'd been murdered, it wouldn't be until decades later that he'd learn that the man he'd been afraid of all those years, hadn’t been his mother's murderer at all.
Over the years, police identified several suspects in Jennifer's murder investigation - even making two arrests.
Yet still, close to 40 years later, the question still remains, "Who killed Jennifer?"

Lost Girls of The Mesa
Albuquerque Tribune (Montoya)

In 2016, April 16th was the first perfect day of spring in rural Muskegon County Michigan.
By 9:00 that Saturday morning, it was 62 degrees and already the warmest day of the season by far. And 53-year-old Dawn Schmidt was among those taking advantage of these glorious conditions.
Making herself a steaming cup of morning coffee, she carried it outside to her back deck and sipped away, staring at the forest, and enjoying the refreshing sunshine.
But then…she heard something strange.

Our homes are more than just physical structures; they’re our sanctuaries, providing a safe refuge from the outside world.
But imagine if someone had meticulously written a 250-page manifesto, obsessively determined to breach that sanctuary? Someone so consumed with rage over a perceived wrongdoing from years earlier, that deadbolts and alarms would do nothing to stop him from carrying out his mission to exact revenge.

As we wrap up another incredible year, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation to all our listeners, for joining us this year as we covered some pretty unbelievable cases.
To wrap up 2023, we wanted to also bring you in on some other chilling cases, you may have never heard about. So we asked some of our closest podcast friends, to tell us about one of the cases they covered this year, that stood out the most to them.
