393: The Campus Predator with 24 Personalities... Was Billy Milligan Criminally Insane?

from Mile Higher · host Mile Higher Media & Audioboom Studios

Following the publication of the book Sybil, the general public became fascinated with Dissociative Identity Disorder (then known as Multiple Personalities). However, nothing would capture this attention more than the case of Billy Milligan, who, after raping several women on the campus of Ohio State University, became the first person to plead insanity due to DID successfully. What followed was public scrutiny and attention, asking if he was simply faking the whole thing to avoid consequences, or if he truly had to contend with 24 distinct, unique personalities. But the story didn’t end there: there were novels published, movies in talk, and even a cross-country escape, all pointing to the question: what's the truth behind the many identities of Billy Milligan?StitchFix: Take the stress out of shopping with https://stitchfix.com/milehigher for $20 OFF your first order!Ladder: Plan your workouts better at https://ladder.fit/milehigher for a 7 day FREE trial with no credit card AND $10 OFF your first month!DOSE: Take care of your liver https://dosedaily.co/milehigher for 35% OFF your first subscription!Butcher's Box: Higher quality proteins! https://butcherbox.com for sirloin tips, ground beef or chicken wings for life!Intro 0:00An early, troubled life 7:26Chalmer, the absolute monster 12:51Billy's Early Run-ins With the Law 22:33The First Trial, and First Notice 27:14A Brief Understanding of DID 42:36Exposing Billy's Alters 52:03For Profit Mistakes 1:03:34Insults to Injuries 1:15:22The Real Truth of It 1:20:38Billy Escapes 1:26:53Never Held Accountable 1:38:24Final Thoughts & Outro 1:55:54Mile Higher Media website: https://milehigher.com/ Higher Hope Foundation: https://www.higherhope.org/ Mile Higher Merch: milehighermerch.comCheck out our other podcasts!The Sesh https://bit.ly/3Mtoz4XLights Out https://bit.ly/3n3GaoePlanet Sleep https://linktr.ee/planetsleepJoin our official FB group! https://bit.ly/3kQbAxgMHP YouTube: http://bit.ly/2qaDWGfAre You Subscribed On Apple Podcast & Spotify?!Support MHP by leaving a rating or review on Apple Podcast :) https://apple.co/2H4kh58MHP Topic Request Form: https://forms.gle/gUeTEzL9QEh4Hqz88You can follow us on all the things: @milehigherpodInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/milehigherpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MileHigherHosts:Kendall: @kendallraeonytIG: http://instagram.com/kendallraeonytYT: https://www.youtube.com/c/kendallsplaceJosh: @milehigherjoshIG: http://www.instagram.com/milehigherjoshProducers:Janelle: @janelle_fields_IG: https://www.instagram.com/janelle_fields_/Ian: @ifarmeIG: https://www.instagram.com/ifarme/Tom: @cinematomgrapherIG: https://www.instagram.com/cinematomgrapher/Podcast sponsor inquiries: [email protected]✉ Send Us Mail ✉Kendall Rae & Josh Thomas 8547 E Arapahoe Rd Ste J # 233Greenwood Village, CO 80112Music By: Mile Higher BoysYT: https://bit.ly/2Q7N5QOSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0F4ik...Sources: https://pastebin.com/Gkwcn9DYThe creator hosts a documentary series for educational purposes (EDSA).
