Cindy
When was your child's last eye exam? Myopia, or nearsightedness is becoming more common in kids, and it's not just about needing stronger glasses. If myopia continues to progress untreated, it may increase the risk of more serious vision complications later in life.
Woody Overton
The good news?
Cindy
Any eye doctor can help identify myopia early and recommend options designed to help manage it over time. One of those options is Eslar Stellus lenses. Stella's lenses are designed specifically for children and are part of an approach to myopia management that corrects their vision while supporting eye health.
Woody Overton
As their eyes continue to grow, they
Cindy
look like regular eyeglasses, but the purpose built for young wearers. Every child's vision is different, which is why starting with a professional eye exam matters. If you have concerns or even just questions, your eye doctor can guide you through what solution is best for your child. Clear visions today can help support your child's future. It all starts with an eye exam. Visit essler.com to learn more about Stella Lenses and to find an Essler expert eye care professional near you.

deal with the everyday life around here.
Cindy (Home Decor Segment)
Dogs running through the house, muddy boots during hunting season, and just like me in general, one of our biggest high traffic areas is the kitchen and putting a ruggable rug under the table and one by the door really changed the whole look of the space while helping protect the floors where we get the most traffic.

Hey, Ms. Barbara.
VRBO Advertiser
Hi.
Barbara Johnson
How are you?
Woody Overton
I'm doing well. Well, finally getting put together this. The fundraiser to raise the last bit of money that we need for Scott Roeder in the evidence room. And first of all, thank you for being with us. And I know it's been a long time coming. I've had these knives for over a month that, that since the Davenport firm shipped them to me. And it's just now coming to. I saw your post. It was yesterday. About what's going on one in Haley's case. And we're going to get to that in a second. And so everything works out the right time. But the. The. So y' all know, in case you don't remember, the, the evidence room, Scott rotor, they're famous. They take scientific approaches to cases to prove or disprove things in the cases. And they did it in Haley's case. But this is not free. Now, he's not making a nickel off of us, but he had to pay for all the scientific tests and et cetera. And that was $10,000. And Ms. Barbara started to go fund me and she raised over $8,000. Right, Ms. Barbara?
Barbara Johnson
Yeah, yeah, it's I think 8. 82, 75 now. We just got in one today.
Woody Overton
All right, well, but hopefully we're about to have a bunch and in on these knives come in. It's over. You know, I don't know. A thousand dollars worth of these. Just pieces of artwork basically, that have been donated and that, you know, so who. Who wouldn't take a $5 pop to. To or $15 chance? I mean, you could win all three of them, right? They. Personally, I would like to have all three of them on my man. I think they're they're works of art. But. But back to the case. So y', all, you know that the district attorney lied to us. And in out of Cobb County, Ms. Sonya Allen, or whatever her name is, and she promised Ms. Barbara all this and that and that, and then we. And. And I'm the one that made it drag out for so long because I'm the one that kept saying, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And in the end, they just gave her a bunch of lip service. And basically we're like, well, unless you got more something scientific evidence or whatever, then we're not doing anything else. Right? And because we can't. First of all, they try to say it's double jeopardy, which is not. But we're not going to our are. You beat that. Continue to beat that dead horse. The. The thing is, we know it's not, but that's okay. What they asked for, they said. Or what they. What she said was, we're not going to touch it. We're not going to do anything else with it unless you can, you know, we have something scientific that can prove that Haley did not commit suicide. And. And guess what? Scout ROTOR and Evidence room took it on, and they've proven it. And now. I read the report last night, Ms. Barbara. I read the entire thing, but I'm gonna let you. I'm gonna let you talk about it. Then you tell the lifers what's been going on, what hadn't been going on.
Barbara Johnson
You're probably better at that.
Woody Overton
Well, no, I want to let them hear from. From Mom. Right. And. And then. Then maybe we'll have Scott on one next week. Hopefully we'll have reached the. The amount that we need by the end, and he can explain all the different scientific stuff, but the. Tell us what has been going on. What's been going on. Like any last contact you've had or. Or what have you.
Barbara Johnson
Okay. So, you know, Scott finished the report and he submitted it to the medical examiner's office, and she sounded kind of positive when he submitted it, but he hasn't heard anything back. But she did say that it would be. I think. I think how she worded it was it would be best if Detective Nudie submitted it.
Woody Overton
And that was. That was original detective on the case, right?
Barbara Johnson
Yes. Yes.
Woody Overton
That screwed it up. Yeah.
Barbara Johnson
Yes. So Scott reached out to him several times to try to, you know, get him the report and talk with him. He. He won't answer and refuses to call him back. He's heard nothing from them. He's hurt. He's gotten in touch with the DA's office, heard nothing back from them.
Woody Overton
Yeah, she's talking about Scott Riders. Let me again tell you about Scott in the evidence room. This guy is, Is, you know, certified as an expert witness in just about every court there is, even internationally. He's done cases. The evidence frame. When we talk about this report, it's not just one thing they've proven, and we'll get into it in a minute, but they've proven scientifically with. They reconstructed the apartment, they did all kinds of laser testing, they did reenactments, they did all this stuff, and they've proven it scientifically that, that Haley could not. It's physically impossible for her to have done what they said that she did. Cannot be done. Go ahead. Go ahead, Ms. Barbara.
Barbara Johnson
Right. So, you know, he's trying to get in touch with everybody. He had a, an intern and for a week. And that's pretty much all she did was try to get in touch with people. Nobody will call back. So I did call the medical examiner again yesterday, and somebody's supposed to call me back by Monday, so we hope so, but I don't. I'm definitely not holding my breath.
Woody Overton
Right.
Barbara Johnson
So at this point, you know, we're kind of at a, I don't know, standstill or, you know, stare off with, with them because nobody's doing anything. So the next step, I guess, is to call the, the organization that is over prosecuting attorneys.
Woody Overton
Well, I, I tell you what the next step's going to be because this is what happened before Lifers when we did a call to action and you blew up Sonia Allen's lines. Then she finally gave lip service to Ms. Barbara and, you know, put our best people supposedly on the case and call them the D A the or the assistant D A s and all these people, and only because we put the political pressure on them. And you know what? We're going to release that report. Ms. Barry, if you call Scott today, just give me permission to release it. The. We're going to release the report to everyone and then we're doing a call to action and we're going to have y'. All. We're going to release Sonia Allen's phone number again and emails and everything else. And guess what, Lifers, it's time they. We. We shouldn't have had to pay for the scientific testing to begin with. And, and, and, and. But we were. We. You got it done and Lifers got it or getting it done. And we're getting it done. And that, you know, what We. We did what you asked. And now you're not even returning phone calls. Well, you know, you won't have to. You have to answer your phones real soon because lifers were going to melt their phone lines. Not. Not disrespectfully. The.
Barbara Johnson
The.
Woody Overton
You asked for this. You have it now with a scientific certainty that there's no way she could have done it. And this is what you need to take to a jury. And you. You. Why aren't you doing it? We're going to make. Not say we're gonna make your life live in hell, but we are. We're. But. But as citizens, you have to answer somebody. And you know what? You're a public figure. You need to answer the citizens questions. And you said you needed this. You've got it now. And although we had to pay for it, you've got it now. And Ms. Barbara continues to carry the torch in the fight. Why. Why do you have to call the medical examiner? Why do you have to call Detective Movie? Why do you have to do all this?
Barbara Johnson
Exactly? Well, I mean, and the point is, like, I get, okay, if this is what you needed and you're not gonna do it, which is lacking on your part, but if you're not gonna do it and we did it and you have it, I mean, it's handed to you. Why would you not want a murderer in prison for murder?
Woody Overton
And. And especially when all the work's been done for you? The. The. This guy Scout ROTOR is not some quack, some joke. The. He's got a history of. Of these cases and being successful. And look, he took it on. Not the. The. He was like, hey, when I talked to him ahead time, he's like, we're gonna do. Do the case. And. And that science is going to show what science shows. He says. I basically, he didn't have a dog in a fight. I mean, if Haley was murdered, he. I mean, he could prove it. He was going to be able to prove it. If. If. If she killed herself, he's gonna prove that, too. And. But wherever the science led, it led. And guess what it led to where it led, which is the truth, which we all knew all along. And even all the people in. In Cobb county or over there in Georgia, all of them said, y' all heard me play the audios that Ms. Barber had. They all said it was a homicide, and we're going to prove it's a homicide. And this whole thing goes back to the fact that they sent Haley's body for an autopsy without any physical facts. From the detectives about interviews or anything that happened. And the, The. The pathologist said it was a suicide because she didn't have the damage to the back of her tongue. And then once the detectives went and gave all the information that they had, which they never. Haley's autopsy should have never been done without the. The detectives being there, period. Detectives go give them all the information that he changed it from. From suicide to undetermined. Well, that's a big deal right there. But now then they said it. Well, that's our number one guy. We don't want to go against him. He. He does, you know, testifies in all our cases. Well, I get that it's your up the. And he's changed his stuff, and now he's got it beyond a scientific.
Cindy (Home Decor Segment)
The.
Woody Overton
The. All the tests have been done. It's been proven in. Scott Roeder is trying to get them to acknowledge it. He. He told me. Scott told me.
Cindy
He said, look, I. I hope to
Woody Overton
be working with these people one day. And, and that to be their witness in this case to prove. If it proves out that way, to prove that Haley did not commit suicide. He said, so I don't want to go against them. I don't want to have to be ugly with them. He said, I want them. If the. If the evidence proves that away, I want them. I want us to work together and get justice for Haley.
Barbara Johnson
Right? Yeah. And he told me, you know, naturally, I don't like Detective Nudie.
Woody Overton
Right.
Barbara Johnson
But he told me, he said, yeah, that we want to give the. The report to him. Let him be the hero. Let him take the report into the DA Let him do it. And then that way he, you know, we'll be a team and it won't be so, you know.
Woody Overton
Right.
Barbara Johnson
So he's tried. And he even said. He said, if they have a problem with the report, let them. Let them get another forensics guy to disprove my report.
Woody Overton
Absolutely. And what he told me, he said, he said, I would expect nothing less. I expect nothing less than them to take my report to the best that they can find. They think they can find their experts and let them try to scientifically disprove it, because it can't be done. The science doesn't lie.
Barbara Johnson
Exactly.
Woody Overton
And, And.
Barbara Johnson
And if I'm not mistaken, I. I can't remember the guy's name, but I guess the guy that he really respects, that he trained under, and I can't remember his name. But anyway, he had him even look over it. So I think. I'm pretty sure that's what he said. So.
Woody Overton
Yeah, well, you know what?
Barbara Johnson
There's no. There's no reason.
Woody Overton
Yep. No reason. But you know what? The. If they don't want to look at the report and. And Scott's okay with it, then we're gonna put. Put the report out to everyone. I'll do an episode. I'll read the whole thing. And. And y'. All. That's a lot. It's a lot of different areas of testing they did. And they even included things like assholes, you know, interview and behavior and all that. There's just a whole bunch of different things and every. Looked at from every different scientific angle it could be looked at and then put all together and says with the scientific certainty that Haley did not commit suicide. And y'.
Barbara Johnson
All.
Woody Overton
The One of the parts. And I'm gonna be graphic. Ms. Barbara. And the One of the parts which. Which goes along with everything else but one of the parts is that she had hair in her hand and her. I think it was her right hand. Barbara in her right. In her right hand. Which means she had her hair hand in her hair when the shotgun went off. This shotgun weighs like seven and a half pounds. And from the. The I saw them in the report. The. The. The angle of the. The. The blast and everything else she would. Had to end up like, sitting up on her knee or what have you. There's no way the. You have your what Your right hand is in your hair. And when. When you get shot. She ain't a large amount of hair. I'm talking about. This is not something like yanked out a couple minutes before this. This is. It's a large amount of hair. And so when you get shot, you involuntarily yank that hair out. There's no way you held that shotgun up with your left hand at the angle it had to be at. And.
Barbara Johnson
Which isn't even her dominant.
Woody Overton
Right, Right. Right.
Barbara Johnson
And.
Woody Overton
And. And your blood alcohol was what. However high it was. And. And. And. And you shot yourself. Didn't happen. And we all know that. We all know the main.
Barbara Johnson
The main thing that he realized that I hadn't thought about and of course don't like to think about, but is that it had to be horizontal. I know the gun had to be horizontal.
Woody Overton
Y.
Barbara Johnson
For her brain to be intact.
Woody Overton
Yeah. And. And. And the. And I know it's hard for you. Here's Mama. But you know what? Let them prove that Scott Rotor is wrong. They can't. They can't. And y'. All. There's so many different parts to this report. So many different tests that were done and down to you know, the whatever. I mean it was science is way outside of my wheelhouse but it's very very impressive and we will release it to everyone with Scott's permission. Then then when I do the episode on that the it'll be this week coming and the we're going to release the Sonia Allen's phone number and emails and whatever and if you feel so inclined call and ask why first of all. Well, I guess it's kind of too late for that. I would like to about why we had to pay for the scientific testing when you have scientists in your government agency and whatever. But let's see.
Barbara Johnson
She gets paid to do that, right?

And, and, but that's neither here nor there. The real, the real matter of fact is beyond was scientific certainty and that Haley did not commit suicide. Which they already know. And they, they know this but they, they figure out Brooks is sitting in jail but she's got to be about time to get out, right?
Barbara Johnson
Yeah, well, yeah. I mean there's, I don't know like they won't even, they won't even talk to me about anything. You know, like I've, I've asked him, you know, when can he get out? Well, he's got 11 years. I know he's got 11 years, but when can he get out?
Woody Overton
Yeah, well, the 11 years is probably a day for day. So, so five and a half years. Right. And, and then. Yeah, so he'll be coming up Pearl. Real quick.
Cindy
Real quick.
Woody Overton
But the, the, we need to make them feel the burn and the, the, the salt in the wound is Sonya Allen is big on social media about all this domestic violence work they're doing and everything else. And here, and here you are. I mean almost every day the lifers share her stuff. And, and, and, and they're blocking comments now from lifers. Yeah. And guess what? Yeah, go ahead.
Barbara Johnson
The funny thing is they have to block because they're a public, you know, a taxpayer.
Woody Overton
Right.
Barbara Johnson
Organization, they have to block everybody. Which means they can't allow comments from anybody on their page.
Woody Overton
Y.
Barbara Johnson
If they block us. So basically now she's had to shut down her whole thing to keep us from commenting because she refuses to do the right thing, which is just crazy to me.
Woody Overton
Well, you know what? The, we're going to get involved again, give their numbers, we're going to give the detectives numbers we're going to give. Ms. Barbara, if you can give me the list of everybody we called last time, the news stations, the what have you now we have scientific proof and, and y' all so important. The. Look, Scott wrote an evidence room. I pray to God you never need them. I researched him. Yeah. I've had him on an episode. The dude Is legit. Okay, but that. He needs to be paid. He's not. He's not sweating or hound or anything like that, but he needs to be paid. And. And tall and guys. Yeah, yeah, he's got to pay his people. I mean, those tests aren't free. The and in. So he's not making any money off of it, but he's. He's. He's covering his expenses and. But he wants justice, period. And wherever it fell now, it could have gone the other way and he'd have told us and that had been it. But what's right is right. What's wrong is wrong. We need to buy your raffle tickets. $5 a piece. You heard me read it. And look, we're about to post it all over social media. As of Saturday, today, this episode be out on. On Saturday. Ms. Borrow. I know we're recording on Friday, but we're pushing it everywhere. And I. Look, if it takes an hour to reach the 1800, whatever it is, we need the. Or if it takes five days, the moment that thing is done, we are going to. Unless it's 4:00 in the morning, I can't get Cindy up. The moment it's done, we're gonna. We're gonna pick the. The winners. And y', all, wait till you see these knives. They're amazing, but they need to get paid. And then we're going. Look, I remember being in a plant in Salt Lake City, Utah, Chevron plant, and being in the. One of the break rooms and seeing a sticker that it was a union sticker, right? They had union members for Chevron, and they said, we don't want to strike, but we will. And like on. And Haley's. We don't want to fight, but we will. And, And. And I mean, don't want to be adversarial against Sonny Allen, but she's leaving us no choice. And I'm not saying be disrespectful, y', all, because being disrespectful, that gives her ammunition to. To, you know, let's say the media goes interviewer, and she can say, well, they're just harassing me or whatever, and they're calling me names and stuff like that. That's not what we're saying. D. When you read this report and you see it, if you're so inclined, and this is like the only third or fourth time I've ever asked y' all to do this, then call in and demand to know why they have not taken action on this report. And you Know what's going to happen? Just like last time, she's going to come out eventually because she has no idea how much pressure and heat this is going to put on her. She's going to have to say, well you know what? Why wouldn't I just go ahead and send it? So shut them up. And if my guy comes back and says beyond science with scientific certainty that, that Haley did not commit suicide, then. Then I gotta take it another way. Right? Basically do your job. And, and, and we don't need to be ugly, but we need to be. We need to be stand together and push it forward and let's get justice for Haley, period.
Barbara Johnson
So yeah, I mean I, I would give anything if she just did the right thing.
Woody Overton
And that's it.
Fred's Appliance Advertiser
Over.
Barbara Johnson
This part of it was over.
Woody Overton
That's it. But you know what? You. You always fault and you always push and what. And you know, wonderful, wonderful mother and wonderful human being. And I know it. It's been hell on you and, and the girls and everything else, but you know, sooner or later, I mean God answers prayers. That doesn't always mean he's going to do it when we want it done, but sooner or later it's going to happen. And if not, let the news go ask them. But this scientific report by those famous scientists and this crew proves it. The. With scientific surgeons that Haley did not commit suicide. And they take. They put everything in there about Brooks Clear, y'.
Barbara Johnson
All.
Woody Overton
I mean it's. It's a lot. And let them go do their job.
Barbara Johnson
The thing is like it's through all this, you know, I have moments where it's just a lot. Like it's just too much sometimes. But the lifers and Haley's friends just keep on and keep on filling in when I'm having a break.
Woody Overton
Right.
Barbara Johnson
And it's just. I can't thank you enough.
Woody Overton
Well, the, the that's. That's straight up lifers and they're the best fans in the world. I know Haley's fans too. But the. For. I mean they taking it so personal and they. They're posting almost every day throughout this whole thing and, and rightful. Rightfully so now they're pissed at Sonny Allen and, and I get that. But that they're about to really be pissed. And it. We need everybody, not, not just the ones that had been posting, but we need everybody to get back on the horse because now we have the ammunition to go win the war and they just got to do their job. That's it. And look, take it to your scientists and if they say no, okay, we're done. But they can't because Scott Roeder in the evidence room, they don't play. And he's not putting his name behind it and his whole career reputation behind Haley's case if he didn't believe. Well, it's not what he believes, it's what that the scientific evidence showed proved.
Barbara Johnson
Yeah, yeah, he, you know he, and he told me in the beginning he said, you know, we follow what the science is and even if it's something you don't want to hear, that's how we have to go.
Woody Overton
That's right. And. But you knew all along what it was. But thank God they, they were able to prove it scientifically. And y', all, that's when Sonya can take it to the court in and have Scott ROTOR testify in the evidence room the, the scientists that did the work testify and it will prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. And that's what it, I mean that's what it's about.
Barbara Johnson
Yeah, I feel like even before Scott they could have.
Cindy
Absolutely, absolutely they did. They took it to, they just didn't
Woody Overton
charge him with murder.
Cindy
And so it's not double jeopardy but
Woody Overton
they got the conviction on the lesser charge of, of, of moving a body and, and you know, tearing up some police. But well you know what, you could have just as easy got that conviction back then for murder and they fucked
Cindy
it up and pardon my French, but they screwed it up.
Woody Overton
That that's on them and now they need to unfuck it. And in, in the, the lifers this week, please. First of all, y' all buy those tickets. $5, $25, $50, whatever you can afford.
Cindy
The I'm gonna buy.
Woody Overton
Well, I can't buy them. That wouldn't be ethical. But the. I guarantee you my, my friends are going to buy some and we're going to post all these pictures, all the
Cindy
write ups about how to purchase the tickets and everything else.
Woody Overton
I would love, love, love, you know, if all y' all out there put up $5 a piece, we'll have it in a day or two. And I would love to make Scott Roeder in the evidence room whole. And the. Ms. Barbara, I know you haven't met Tommy Thomas Davenport, the attorney.
Barbara Johnson
That's what I was gonna ask you. I would really like to at least call him and say thank you. That was awesome. That was very sweet.
Woody Overton
That that would mean the world to him. He's like the best dude and, and he's, he is such a bulldog. And when he was Here, I guess about two months ago. It was during turkey season. And. And I'm talking about Haley's case, and he's like, you still need more money for that? He said, hell yeah, The. My farm will donate. And then he came up with the idea about these knives because he loves them. And they really are. Look, they're pieces, their artwork really. And I mean, they're very functional. You can use everything. Yes. I'm gonna put all the pictures, all. All designs in there. They're. They're handmade in. In Scandinavia. The. In. They're just. And they're also. Each one of them, they. The. They laser engraved them with the real life, real crime, the thumbprint and RLRC on them. So that's, you know, some more appeal for the lifers. And look, these. I mean, 300 a piece at a minimum. The 300 a piece says 900 worth of knives. Get. Get your tickets. Let's get Scott Roeder and evidence roommate whole. And then we are going to push this. We shouldn't have to. We don't want to fight, but we will. And the. I believe that we're going to get the same results as last time because y' all are going to call everybody because you rightfully. So you're upset about it. And we will get the. The news media coverage again. I mean, why shouldn't the news get the report and read and be like, go call Sonia Allen and say, hey, why aren't you taking this? This is what you asked for. You got it. And. And. And what does she care? Send it to your people. And. And when they come back and be like, oh, you know what? They're right. Scott wrote her in evidence room was right. This is murder.
Cindy
And this is what you're waiting on.
Barbara Johnson
Even nudie. Why would he not want to go to them with that report?
Woody Overton
They. You know what? Yeah, well, you know what?
VRBO Advertiser
He.
Woody Overton
You know, I'm just be nice. I'm just keep my mouth shut.
Legal Rights Advisor

We'll put the report everywhere on social media from Tik Tok to Real Life for Crime Community app to all my Facebook pages to where everywhere.

Cindy (Home Decor Segment)
That's it.
Woody Overton
That's it. That's all we're asking for. And. And. And we won't be mad afterwards, you know, the. The shilling. But should we have to get to this point stupid that we're even at this point. But thank God for Skyrotor and evidence room. Thank God that you never gave up Ms. Barbara. Thank God for you lifers who push it.
Barbara Johnson
Tommy. Thank. Thank you to him.
Woody Overton
Yeah.
Barbara Johnson

Woody Overton
And so all over the world, people know Haley's story now. Thank goodness you're right. Thank you, Tommy. The. The. Thank goodness we have the scientific evidence proves that Haley not It's physically impossible. Did. She did not. She did not commit suicide. And so there you have it. So y' all get your tickets. Thomas Davenport, Attorney's Law. Thank you so much for the donating the Haley knives. The. Y' all check them out. Share it everywhere.
Cindy
Share.
Woody Overton
When you. When you get it and you read it, share it. And. And so as soon as we get the money. But miss Barbara's coming straight to you and you can give it to Scott Roeder. And. And then the. We're going to do the episode on the report and everything else. But y' all I read is legit. The. This should be going to trial sooner than later.

Woody announces the launch of a fundraiser raffle to pay for the final scientific testing carried out by Scott Roeder and The Evidence Room, critical in presenting new forensic evidence to authorities. He is joined by Barbara Johnson, Hailey’s mother, to discuss hard-won progress, persistent challenges with officials, and what supporters (“Lifers”) can do next to push for justice.
