Host: Woody Overton | Guest: Morgan Baggott

Episode Overview

This episode of Real Life Real Crime, hosted by Woody Overton, dives deeply into the ongoing #JusticeForBradley and #JusticeForAO investigation—two murder cases roiling the Vernon Parish community. The episode is marked by updates on the case's status, a candid discussion about how grassroots online communities are fueling the probe, and a blunt, highly charged analysis of leaked private messages implicating Bradley’s own family. Special guest and Bradley's ex-wife, Morgan Baggott, joins Woody for a raw conversation about recent events, the climate in Vernon Parish, and explosive new evidence drawing questions about the involvement of Bradley’s mother, Tony.

Major Discussion Points

1. Status of the #JusticeForBradley Case and Intensifying Public Scrutiny

• The case is hotter than ever, drawing nationwide—and even international—attention due to relentless online activism and media coverage.

• Woody cannot share most details due to the ongoing nature of the investigation but affirms momentum is building.

  "This case has gotten so much publicity, so much attention nationwide, even internationally now... The fire is on. The fire is lit, and... people are running scared."
  —Woody Overton [04:25]

2. The Role and Impact of the "Criminal Conversations" Facebook Group

• Morgan explains how a private Facebook group, Criminal Conversations, has become a hotbed for whistleblower tips, crowd-sourced suspect histories, and debate.

• Law enforcement, suspects, and the public are all actively monitoring (and sometimes panicking over) content on the page.

• The group has published criminal histories, mugshots, even exposing police involved in the case.

  "When it first came out... I saw it amongst these other things that have been coming out, and I was like, holy [expletive]. How are they getting away saying the [expletive] that they're saying on this page?... But I'm telling you, they are laying down [expletive] there."
  —Woody Overton [09:05]

• The group’s activities escalated with a law enforcement leak: A police officer, Winston Lambrett, shared confidential database info with Morgan in an effort to help the case, later leading to his arrest.

  "He just really wanted to help. And... I did tell him, you know, like, I. Please don't do anything to get yourself in trouble."
  —Morgan Baggott [13:03]

3. Legal Consequences of Information Sharing: The Arrest of Winston Lambrett

• Woody gives a primer on how law enforcement databases work (such as NCIC), emphasizing the illegality of running searches for private use.

• Winston Lambrett provided Morgan with confidential information out of goodwill, not for profit—which eventually led to his arrest.

  "It's illegal. It's just a fact. It's against the law. Now I understand Winston wanted to help and God bless him... I swear to you, I didn't know it was NCIC... being... I could not comprehend that somebody is actually running every one of these names... and putting it out on social media..."
  —Woody Overton [16:14]

• The community feels angered that a “good cop” gets arrested for helping, while the case itself drags on without resolution.

  "...people over here are furious... we’re six years into [Bradley's] missing with all this evidence and all these bad guys and one good cop... does something he wasn't legally supposed to with the best of intentions and they go for him cutthroat... Yet they can't go after a murder as hard as they went after a good cop."
  —Morgan Baggott [25:12]

4. The Emotional and Social Fallout Within Vernon Parish

• Woody emphasizes how bad actors—murderers or officials complicit in the case's mishandling—are feeling the heat thanks to social media and investigative pressure.

  "...the murderers are pissed off that... it's hotter than it's ever been. Law enforcement is pissed off because it's hotter than it's ever been and they haven't solved it. But... there's [stuff] that's moving that you don't even know about, Morgan... and the investigation is moving..."
  —Woody Overton [28:27]

• Morgan and Woody agree: The more uncomfortable suspects and complicit officials feel, the better.

  "I hope they do. I hope they don't have a single [expletive] second of peace."
  —Morgan Baggott [29:05]

5. Explosive Revelations: Leaked Messages from Bradley’s Mother, Tony

• Central to this episode’s drama is a series of text and Facebook messages between Tony (Bradley's mother) and Chelsea (Bradley's girlfriend).

• The messages, several weeks after Bradley's disappearance, show Tony more concerned with aligning her story with Chelsea’s than with finding the truth—raising alarming implications about her knowledge or involvement.

  Memorable Quote & Analysis:

  "Don't deviate from anything you have told them and contact me immediately when you leave there and tell me everything, so I can corroborate your story."
  —Tony (read by Woody Overton) [36:07]

• Additional messages suggest Tony knew, or believed she knew, exactly what happened to Bradley and even the involvement of specific people and the supposed location of his body (an old well).

  "I wouldn't allow anyone to tell me any details, but did overhear that he was passed out in your car in D&J's driveway, supposedly Nick, Dion, Chris, Ron Spooky, and Billy Sue were all involved. And he's in an old well."
  —Tony, via Facebook message to Chelsea (read by Morgan Baggott) [47:53]

• Both Woody and Morgan are stunned, calling it “crazy as fuck” and reflecting on how a parent could have such precise (possibly direct) knowledge but not share all with investigators.

  "A mother knows how, who, what, when, where, why her son was murdered. And she's trying to get a story straight... so she doesn't have to tell her truth. And her truth is that she knows, according to her own messages."
  —Woody Overton [52:57]

6. Emotional Reactions: The Toll on Family Members

• Morgan shares the impact these revelations had on herself and Bradley’s father (Papa Sam): anger, disbelief, heartbreak, and a renewed sense of urgency for justice.

• Both express inability to fathom Tony’s motives, with Woody speculating the only reason a parent would cover something like this is if they were directly or indirectly involved.

  "How can she say that? That and Papa Sam said the same thing. He said, I want to know, too. I can't believe she said that."
  —Morgan Baggott [52:41]

Notable Quotes & Moments with Timestamps

• Woody on the heat of the case:
  "If you can't take the heat, get the fuck out the kitchen, right? Because the heat is evidently rolling..." [04:25]

• Morgan’s mantra:
  "Well, my famous lines right now is, I'm above ground, I ain't in jail, and I ain't in a sideboard yet." [06:46]

• Woody challenges the public record myth:
  "People are all saying, oh, it's public record. No, it's not. Parts of it are. But this is a secure law enforcement protected database..." [25:55]

• Woody on Tony’s texts:
  "Why would she have to get her story straight? Because she's lying." [44:25]

• Morgan on the emotional toll:
  "I was shaking. My whole body was shaking. I was pacing. I was sweating..." [48:16]

• Woody summarizes Tony’s implicating message:
  "This is a woman who gave birth, conceived, all that good. And she's saying unequivocally that she knows what happened to Bradley..." [50:01]

• Conclusion — Woody’s blunt assessment:
  "A mother who knows what happened to her should have been her baby and is lying about it, you know, and the… She wouldn't let him to. I, I can't fathom it as a parent." [52:57]
