Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of Crime Will Tell, we revisit two Wisconsin disappearances that still weigh heavily on their communities. Katelyn Kelley vanished from the Menominee Indian Reservation in 2020; her remains were found months later, but her story remains heartbreakingly unfinished. Nicholas Hieptas disappeared from Appleton in 2019 and has never been heard from or seen again. Join us as we explore what’s known, what’s missing, and why both families still deserve answers. Any leads or information regarding the murder of Katelyn Latisha Kelley should be directed to the Menominee Tribal Police Department at (715) 799-5806 or the Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing and Exploited Children and Adults at 1-800-THE HOPE (1-800-843-4673).Any leads or information regarding the disappearance of Nicholas Jeffrey Hietpas (and Samantha) should be directed to the Appleton Police Department at (920) 832-5564 or the Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing and Exploited Children and Adults at 1-800-THE HOPE (1-800-843-4673).
