The Boy Who Liked to Break Bones: A Nightmare in Baraboo

Everyone has that one thing that makes them squirm—teeth, paper cuts, belly buttons. But for some, it’s broken bones. If that’s you, consider this your warning because today’s case is not for the faint of heart.

In this episode, we’re diving into the horrifying story of Joe Clark, a teenager with a sickening obsession: breaking bones. What started as a seemingly random disappearance in Baraboo, Wisconsin, turned into one of the most chilling cases we’ve ever covered. When 14-year-old Chris Steiner went missing in 1994, police assumed he had drowned. But a year later, when 13-year-old Thad Phillips miraculously escaped from captivity—his body shattered but his will to survive intact—the truth about Joe Clark came to light.
