Thanks for tuning into the first episode of The Minds of Madness.

You may notice this episode is titled One in Two.

That's because when I first published it, it was two episodes.

Back in 2016, I had a lot to learn about podcasting, and I got to tell you this show has evolved

significantly.

And since a lot of people start listening to a show by going to the first episode, we thought it would be a good idea to give

you a better representation of the kind of shows we produce today.

So if you enjoy our show after listening to this, I recommend going to the latest episode and start working your way back.

That way you might forgive our learning curve on some of the earlier episodes.

Also I wanted to note, since we first published our two episodes, we got to note Jody, and we've interviewed

him a few times, so you may notice the sound quality differs a bit while he's talking.

And with that said, thank you for listening to The Minds of Madness.

The father of four best described as a genuine all-American dad completely shocked a community when he publicly committed an unimaginable act.

But what could cause a man, a father of this caliber, to suddenly snap.

Join me now as we delve into the story of Gary Ploché, an active and supportive father who did the unthinkable.

As we take a closer look into this complicated case,

we'll try to discover just what causes ordinary people to do unthinkable things. Gary was a hardworking middle class man who always provided for his family, even making

time to coach his son's little league baseball team.
