In this episode, we examine a tragic case of deception, violence, and disappearance—one that left three lives lost and countless questions unanswered.

This episode explores the triple homicide of Sheryl Baker, Nadia Medley, and Nadia’s teenage daughter, Payton, whose lives were violently taken at a rural farm in Idaho. Investigators identified the suspect as Mike Bollinger, a pilot who led a carefully constructed double life.

Bollinger secretly married Sheryl while simultaneously maintaining a relationship with Nadia, eventually moving Nadia and Payton into Sheryl’s newly purchased property without her knowledge. Authorities believe the murders occurred in June 2017, likely after Bollinger’s deception was exposed during an unexpected confrontation between the women.

After the killings, Bollinger fled into the Bridger–Teton National Forest, where his abandoned vehicle was later found. Although he was formally charged with three counts of first-degree murder, his body was never recovered. This absence has fueled ongoing theories—ranging from death in the wilderness to the possibility that he successfully escaped and assumed a new identity.

The episode examines Bollinger’s manipulative and sociopathic behavior, the investigative efforts that followed, and the profound grief left behind in the victims’ families and communities.

Three lives were lost, and justice remains incomplete. As this case continues to haunt those left behind, it serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of deception and unchecked control. Thank you for listening, and join us next time as we revisit another case that time has yet to resolve.
