    In this episode of True Crime Time For, Woody Overton covers a disturbing lineup of family violence, serial murder allegations, child predator investigations, and bizarre crimes that highlight just how dangerous the world can be.

    Woody opens the episode by encouraging listeners to continue sharing:

    👉 #WhatHappenedToMadison

    👉 Justice for Bradley

    👉 Justice for A.O.

    👉 Justice for Barbara Blount

    He also reminds listeners about the upcoming Real Life Real Crime Live Show on July 18th featuring food from official sponsor Big J’s Side Porch, drinks, merch, and a raw unscripted old-school cop story.

    The episode begins with a heartbreaking case out of Massachusetts where a mother from an affluent Boston suburb was arrested after her two young children were found dead during a welfare check connected to an ongoing divorce and custody dispute. Woody discusses the unimaginable tragedy and the emotional devastation left behind.

    Other major stories include:

    • Nearly $870,000 worth of industrial agricultural drones stolen in New Jersey, raising fears that the drones could potentially be used for chemical or biological attacks due to their ability to disperse large quantities of liquid chemicals
    • A Chicago man accused of being a serial killer tied to six murders and multiple attempted murders, including attacks involving children trapped in vehicles during shootings
    • An Oregon woman sentenced after her massive dogs mauled a 6-year-old boy to death while he waited to be brought to school
    • A Houston-based predator vigilante group called Predator Poachers, whose confrontations with suspected online child predators are sparking debate between law enforcement and civilians taking investigations into their own hands
    • A deadly Steak ’n Shake shooting in Missouri where an argument over onion rings escalated into murder
    • A Texas elementary assistant principal killed after her husband claimed he accidentally shot her in the face
    • A Florida man charged after his 84-year-old wife was found beaten to death with a hammer following discussions of a possible suicide pact

    Throughout the episode, Woody reinforces a message he’s shared for years:

    👉 Violence escalates quickly. Somebody always knows something. And no one deserves to become a victim.

    He also reminds listeners that persistence and public involvement help solve cases — just like the Louisiana cold case recently solved after a podcast helped generate new leads and suspects.

    In this episode of True Crime Time For, Woody Overton delivers one of the most emotional and disturbing lineups yet — covering tragic child deaths, extreme abuse, and the power of persistence in solving cold cases.

    The episode opens with a historical look at outlaw Billy the Kid and his infamous escape — a reminder that crime stories have captivated the public for generations.

    Woody then breaks down a heartbreaking case out of Wisconsin, where a father has now been charged after leaving his three children inside a burning home, resulting in all three of their deaths. Investigators allege negligence, including the removal of a smoke detector and failure to act.

    Another deeply disturbing case involves a Kentucky couple sentenced after locking children in a room, starving them, and forcing them to survive in inhumane conditions — including attempts to get water from drywall. A reminder of the worst kind of abuse imaginable.

    Additional cases include:

    • A Georgia death penalty case where a woman is accused of beating a 4-year-old to death and attempting to conceal the crime
    • A powerful Louisiana cold case breakthrough, where a 44-year-old rape and murder was solved after a podcast generated new tips, leading to multiple arrests
    • A UK case where a man armed a teenager with a weapon and ordered him to attack a couple, resulting in serious injuries
    • A disturbing case involving a former UFC fighter who allegedly assaulted his own teenage daughter during an argument
    • A Florida fire rescue lieutenant arrested after slamming a 65-year-old patient’s head and gouging his eyes during a call for help
    • A Texas case where a mother allegedly dug up her infant’s grave and removed the remains, raising serious questions about mental health and grief

    Throughout the episode, Woody reinforces a central message:

    👉 Never give up. Cases can be solved — but it takes persistence, tips, and people willing to speak up.

    And once again, he urges listeners to continue sharing and supporting:

    In this episode of Real Life Real Crime, Woody Overton continues the investigation into the disappearance of Madison Renee Allen, who has been missing since November 29, 2023, last seen in Zachary, Louisiana.

    This episode is raw, urgent, and focused on one thing: getting the truth out and getting people to come forward.

    Woody breaks down the timeline, the inconsistencies in statements, and the patterns that continue to emerge — particularly surrounding individuals connected to Madison’s last known location. He emphasizes that while some facts are public record, the full picture is still being built through tips, witness accounts, and ongoing investigation.

    A major focus of this episode is the pattern of targeting vulnerable women, particularly those living high-risk lifestyles, and the possibility that Madison is not the only victim. Woody draws parallels to other cases involving missing women and stresses that:

    👉 This does not stop unless someone stops it.

    The episode highlights:

    • Conflicting statements given about Madison’s disappearance
    • Witness accounts placing key individuals in suspicious circumstances
    • The movement of locations and behavior patterns that raise serious concerns
    • The emotional toll on Madison’s family, especially her mother, Lynn
    • The reality that multiple tips have already come in — but more are needed

    Woody makes it clear:

    This case is active. It is being worked. But it cannot be solved without the public.

    A powerful message from Madison’s mother is included, reminding listeners that behind every missing person is a family living in constant pain and uncertainty — and that even the smallest piece of information could change everything.

    In this episode of True Crime Time For, Woody Overton delivers a wide range of cases — from heartbreaking child abuse to shocking negligence and bizarre international crime.

    The episode opens with updates on the upcoming Real Life Real Crime Live Show, encouraging listeners to secure tickets early as the event is expected to sell out. Woody also shares a personal tribute to his father on the anniversary of his passing, adding a heartfelt moment to the episode.

    From there, the episode dives into a bizarre international case involving a man arrested for attempting to smuggle over 2,000 live queen ants out of Kenya — highlighting the growing underground market for rare species.

    In Texas, a disturbing case unfolds involving a Houston police lieutenant caught in an undercover sting, allegedly attempting to meet a minor for sex. The arrest raises serious concerns about abuse of authority and betrayal of public trust.

    One of the most alarming stories involves a hospital in Pakistan where hundreds of children were infected with HIV after staff reused contaminated syringes — a case of negligence and cost-cutting with devastating consequences.

    Additional cases include:

    • A Wisconsin hunting incident where a 3-year-old was allegedly involved in a shooting that injured two people, raising serious questions about supervision and firearm safety
    • A burglary case involving a suspect who broke into a restaurant and stole minimal items, highlighting poor decision-making and repeat offender behavior
    • A Florida child abuse case where parents were arrested after a 6-year-old showed up to school with visible injuries and signs of neglect
    • A deeply disturbing case of a Florida mother accused of suffocating her 4-year-old child, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty
    • An Indiana case where a man beat a 71-year-old victim to death and attempted to conceal the crime, later stating, “I’m done like fried chicken” after his arrest

    The episode also includes a chilling historical reference to the Hi-Fi murders of 1974, where victims were tortured and killed in a brutal robbery.

    Throughout the episode, Woody reinforces a central message:

    whether it’s negligence, abuse, or calculated violence — accountability matters, and justice depends on people speaking up.

    The episode opens with a chilling cold case tied to the Freeway Phantom murders, where evidence was reportedly lost by federal authorities — leaving victims and families without justice decades later.

    Woody then provides a major update on the Shreveport, Louisiana mass shooting, where the suspect has now been identified as Shamar Elkins. Authorities confirm that eight children were killed — including several of his own — in what is now being classified as a family annihilation case. New details reveal the victims’ identities, the timeline of events, and the suspect’s domestic situation leading up to the murders.

    Additional cases include:

    • A Wisconsin lab worker who poisoned a coworker after being passed over for a promotion, using chemicals taken directly from a research facility
    • A disturbing Pennsylvania case where a man stole over 100 sets of human remains from a historic cemetery and stored them in his home
    • A California fire captain sentenced to life without parole for executing his girlfriend and her young son to eliminate witnesses
    • A bizarre airline incident where 10 unruly passengers were arrested before takeoff after refusing to comply with flight crew instructions
    • A horrific domestic violence case in North Carolina where a man set his girlfriend on fire, leaving her with burns over most of her body
    • A Kansas mother charged with murdering her toddler, with investigators now re-examining the suspicious death of another child in her care
    • A major drug bust in Texas involving nearly 500 pounds of liquid methamphetamine, discovered after a fatal crash

    Throughout the episode, Woody and Cyndi reinforce a central message:

    evil takes many forms — from calculated violence to neglect and greed — but awareness, accountability, and speaking up are critical to justice.

    True Crime Time For April 20, 2026 | Louisiana Mass Shooting, Columbine Anniversary, Oklahoma City Bombing Apr 20, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode of True Crime Time For, Cyndi Overton delivers a deeply emotional and powerful solo episode that blends breaking news, historical tragedy, and a call to action for victims’ rights.

    The episode opens with a heartbreaking update out of Shreveport, Louisiana, where a mass shooting left eight children dead in what authorities describe as a domestic violence-related incident spanning multiple crime scenes. The scale and nature of the tragedy have shaken the community and highlight the devastating reality of family annihilation cases.

    Cyndi then shifts into a broader look at why April 19th and 20th are among the most significant dates in true crime history. She reflects on the anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting, where 13 victims lost their lives, and the Oklahoma City bombing, which killed 168 people, including 19 children, in one of the deadliest acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history.

    Additional historical and crime-related events discussed include:

    • The Ludlow Massacre and other violent historical events tied to this date
    • The Deepwater Horizon explosion, which claimed the lives of 11 workers
    • Other acts of violence and crime that have shaped communities and national conversations

    The episode also highlights National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, emphasizing the importance of advocacy, awareness, and support for victims and their families. Cyndi breaks down how listeners can get involved, support survivors, and help push for accountability within the justice system.

    Throughout the episode, Cyndi shares personal reflections — from watching her son complete an Ironman to addressing the challenges of ongoing investigations — while reinforcing a central message:

    Justice takes time, truth matters, and protecting cases sometimes means staying silent until it’s time to speak.
