On July 29, 1995, 13-year-old Thad was sleeping on the couch in his new home in Baraboo, WI. The family had recently moved in. When someone picked Thad up off the couch, he figured it was one of his parents, taking him to bed. Thad would suffer 43 hours of bonebreaking torture at the hands of a sadistic killer...17 year old, Joe Clark, AKA the Baraboo Bonebreaker.
