72 – The Red Lady of the Sea and The Bonebreaker of Baraboo

from The Jeff and Sam Show · host Jeff Rogers

Sam tells the extraordinary and badass redemption tale of Jeanne de Clisson, a woman betrayed and banished by her country who transformed her grief and fury into vengeance on the high seas. Once a noblewoman, Jeanne became a feared pirate known as The Lioness of Brittany — commanding her infamous Black Fleet to exact justice for her husband’s unjust and humiliating death.Jeff then shares the harrowing survival story of Thad Phillips, the teenage boy who narrowly escaped the sadistic “Bonebreaker of Baraboo.” It’s a chilling but inspiring account of human endurance, courage, and the will to survive in the face of unimaginable cruelty.Visit us on Linktree for our full collection of links, find us on Instagram, or email us at [email protected]’s Sources: Library of Congress – Famous French Women: Jeanne de Clisson Wikipedia – Jeanne de Clisson Rejected Princesses – Jeanne de Clisson Ancient Origins – The Lioness of Brittany and Her Black Fleet of PiratesJeff’s Sources: Medium – The Twisted Tale of Joe Clark: The Baraboo Bone Breaker The Tiger News – The Boy Who Survived the Bonebreaker Medium – The Lone Survivor of the Bonebreaker Killer Wisconsin Court of Appeals Opinion Espressode Podcast – Survival Story: Thad Phillips and the Bonebreaker of Baraboo https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thad-phillips-real-hero-of-baraboo
