Episode 80: The Murder of Maddie Clifton "Mini" Morbid

It's an Alaina Mini Morbid, which means it is longer than an average full length episode. Trust us, it is worth it because this case is a truly horrific but endlessly fascinating look into the mind of a secretly troubled young boy who fooled absolutely everyone in his life. Unfortunately, it was young, precious, vivacious Maddie Clifton was on the receiving end of his break from reality.
*****TRIGGER WARNING*****
This case involves the death of a child and it is hard to hear. We warn ahead of time when it will be discussed, so you can skip accordingly if you feel like you need to!

Absolutely Love you guys!!!

I listen to all of Morbid. It was my first podcast I’ve ever heard and it has ruined me for all others. I love that they visit true crime stories and then alternate with Listener tales and haunted fun. You guys rock and help me relieve stress and stay awake while working 3rd shift. Stay Morbidly weird and never change. PS Love your banter!!

2 Funny Nerds

Just listened to episode 80 for the second time and I can't get over the 2 nerds who think their funny..... love yall and I don't think yall are funny, I think you're hilarious 😂 🤣 💜💜💜

Awful Case Great Presentation

I always enjoy this podcast. I really like how sensitive they are to horrible details by giving a warning to people. They humanize the victims and show compassion. Yes, they can be silly at times but don’t we all need a silly break while listening to these awful crimes. Keep up the great work.
