For the last decade, Whit Missildine has surrounded himself with unbelievable stories. He’s spoken to a man who was hunted by the Japanese mafia. A woman who left a cult and reinvented herself.

Because I wasn’t a therapist and didn’t have a degree, my job was to be the control condition. We had to interview hundreds of men for these studies, all of whom were HIV-positive drug users. Half of those men were getting the therapeutic intervention, and half of them were just sitting with me in a room. My job was to listen to their stories. I wasn’t allowed to give any therapy. I was 23, and I was hearing the wildest things you could imagine.

He was an 11-year-old kid, just about to become an adolescent and take on the world. He had so much promise, and she had such a loving relationship with him. This thing that never happens to anyone in the world happens to this kid, randomly. And he dies.
