This episode examines Thad’s extraordinary will to survive, the chilling behavior of his attacker, and how one boy’s courage changed the course of a horrifying case.
In 1995, 13-year-old Thad Phillips was abducted from his home in Baraboo, Wisconsin and held captive by a teenage predator later known as The Bone Breaker. For nearly two days, Thad endured unimaginable torture—but refused to give up. His daring escape not only saved his own life, but exposed a pattern of violence that could have claimed more victims.
