Nick Kasotis

Now, with Kasotis apparently tied to the knives and the Ford Explorer, they subpoenaed records from his phone and the Ford's GPS system.

The car records showing his vehicle and phone traveling down to exactly where her body is.

He has no reason whatsoever to be there other than that his dismembered wife happens to be found there when he told everyone else she was cremated.

Back in the interrogation room, detectives confronted Kasotis with their discoveries.

But Kasotis insisted he was innocent and pointed the finger at the man he says had been controlling their lives, Jim McIntyre.

In February 2024, a little over a year after Mindy's death, Nick Kasotis was indicted for the murder of Mindy Kasotis.

Philip McCaller had walked these grounds of the Portal Hunting Club for years.

Just laying in the ditch.

Before the December day in 2022, when he made that gruesome discovery.

Kind of thought it was a mannequin to start with.

Strewn along the swamp, the remains of the once vibrant 40-year-old Mindy Kasotis.

More than two and a half years later, her husband, Nick Kasotis, charged with her murder, was in a Hinesville, Georgia courtroom.

This trial would prove to be unlike any other from the get-go.

In an unusual move, the prosecution forced defense attorney Weinstein to open his case first.

Weinstein immediately set the scene for the defense.

The alleged killer, he says, was actually another victim.

Running for his life.

Instead, Weinstein told the jury Quesotas had been duped and deluded by the mysterious figure Jim McIntyre.

Kasotis is not a killer, he says, more like a frightened, desperate hero.

But prosecutor Lori Baio says the real Nick Kasotis is revealed by the gruesome evidence left behind.
