Summary

In early December 2022, dismembered body parts were found scattered over a 3 mile radius in Georgia. The Jane Doe remained anonymous for 6 months, but due to genetic geneology, her identity was discovered. The victim was 40-year old Mindi Kassotis. Her parents were shocked to learn that she had not only been murdered, but dismembered, because they had been told Mindi died at a hospital from a stroke. Authorities then arrested Mindi’s husband, Nicholas Kassotis, a veteran and former navy judge advocate.  This episode contains coverage from Day 1 of his trial.  Check out The Alternate Podcast: Inside America’s Biggest Trials to follow along as Margot and Tabitha break down each day’s courtroom testimony.  ⸻ 🎧Need More to Bing?

Welcome back to Crime Army. I am your host Margo and this is military murder, a show where I focus on crimes committed by military members and veterans. And today I have a bit of a difference format for you. I usually cover one case and one or two episodes and then I move on to the next one. But today I am bringing you a breaking case, a case that is actively being tried by the court system as I released this episode on

0:22.1

August 11, 2025. You may recall a few months ago, I told you about my new podcast that I co-host

0:27.9

called The Alternate Inside America's Biggest Trials. We covered the Karen Reed retrial in season one,

0:34.1

the Sean Colmes federal trial in season two, and we just launched season 3 last week.

0:40.4

And we are following the trial of Georgia versus Nicholas Cosodis.

0:44.6

Now, Nicholas Cosodis is a former active duty Navy JAG.

0:48.4

That's right.

0:49.2

So what I think about when I think of an active duty Navy JAG is I think of a few good men. People who are

0:55.8

above board, dressed to the tea, and just always follow the rules. Well, this case is far from a few

1:02.7

good men. Nicholas Cosodas left active duty after serving 10 years or something like that to pursue

1:08.5

other endeavors. But now he stands accused of murdering his second wife, dismembering her, and then lying

1:15.5

to her family about how she passed away, then marrying a third woman all before he was

1:21.1

ultimately caught.

1:22.5

Of course, disclaimer, Nicholas Cosodis is innocent until proving guilty in a court of law.

1:28.1

And right now, my co-host and I are following this trial day by day.

1:32.7

And just for you, you get to hear Season 3, Episode 1, right here in the comfort of the military murder feed.

1:39.6

After you listen here, be sure to go straight to the alternate podcast wherever you're listening today.

1:44.1

Click follow and listen to our daily coverage, because day one was just the beginning.

1:50.0

This case sounds to me, so far, kind of like a catfishing story. It's a web of lies that involves

1:56.0

a lot of people. With that, let's dig in.

2:02.6

Military murder is an independent project and is not endorsed by the Department of Defense or any military component.
