In 2018, Border Patrol agent Juan David Ortiz was unmasked as a serial killer in Laredo, Texas. Over the course of two weeks, he brutally murdered four women—Melissa Ramirez, Claudine Anne Luera, Guiselda Alicia Cantu, and Janelle Ortiz—targeting vulnerable victims he lured into his truck. His crimes sent shockwaves through the community and raised troubling questions about oversight in law enforcement ranks.

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.

After speaking to Rose Thayer (from Stars & Stripes) who covered the court-martial of former Sgt Greville Clarke, I am issuing an updated timeline. 

The charge sheet was over 10 pages long and included various additional charges that made the case somewhat confusing.
