Ordinary people who do unthinkable things...The Minds of Madness is a True Crime Podcast that examines the most disturbing criminal minds and the impact violent crimes have on survivors of homicide.

The Airbnb in Savannah, Georgia was just one more stop in a long line of temporary homes. Their 50th rental since they’d started running, maybe their 60th. By then, Nicholas Kassotis had stopped keeping count.

What mattered wasn’t the number. It was survival. Staying a step ahead of whoever was hunting them.
