77 - Katelyn Kelley & Nicholas Hieptas

In this episode of Crime Will Tell, we revisit two Wisconsin disappearances that still weigh heavily on their communities. Katelyn Kelley vanished from the Menominee Indian Reservation in 2020; her remains were found months later, but her story remains heartbreakingly unfinished. Nicholas Hieptas disappeared from Appleton in 2019 and has never been heard from or seen again. Join us as we explore what’s known, what’s missing, and why both families still deserve answers.
