My descriptions of the crime scenes, what I saw with my own two eyes. If you're going to get offended, please turn this podcast off now. Thank you. Hello, everybody, and welcome to this episode of Real Life, Real Crime, the podcast. As always, I'm your host, Woody Overton. Jim the hitman rapping is not going to be in the studio with me today, but I do have a very special guest. But first and foremost, for all you lifers out there, I want you to understand we will always continue to seek justice for Courtney Coco. We work on her case every day and we're not going to quit until the arrests are made. We haven't forgotten about it and we will continue to work on it. So keep that in mind. Having said that, we're going to be starting a new series and I'm going to call it what Happened to Barbara Blunt and very special guest in the studio today to help start the series. And y' all know we're raw and unscripted and so just bear with me and we'll bounce around a little bit. But my guest is the honorable Sheriff Jason Ard, who is a sheriff of Livingston Parish. Good morning, Sheriff.
- [05:10]
Woody Overton
Good morning. Thank you for having me, Woody.
- [05:11]
Dax Shepard
Hey, thank you for being here. It's a real pleasure, everybody. Before we get into the base facts of the case, I want to take a minute and talk to Sheriff ARD listeners. I know that when most people think of their sheriffs or you think of a politician or you think they may have some law enforcement experience, et cetera. Like I've worked with sheriffs when I was with state police and I worked with different offices all over the state. And some sheriffs had some law enforcement experience. Some were retired troopers, whatever. But the. I think what makes Sheriff Ard unique is and I know his history is his experience in a law enforcement field. And it's not just a politician. So, Sheriff, I know I'm putting you on spot, but if you don't mind, can. Can you tell us about your career? I think the reason I'm doing this is because I know it's unique and I want the people to understand that you're not just a politician.
- [06:16]
Woody Overton
Yeah, I kind of. I do like that because I don't like people to know me as a politician.
- [06:20]
Dax Shepard
Right.
- [06:21]
Woody Overton
You know, unfortunately, it comes with the job whenever you run for sheriff.
- [06:24]
Dax Shepard
Right.
- [06:25]
Woody Overton
But I started my career at the Sheriff's office in 1993 and fresh out of high school, didn't really know anything. The only reason I was drawn to law enforcement because before that I was a cadet, the Dillon Springs Police Department as a teenager. And I just fell in love with it. I went to work at the Livingston Parish Detention center. And back then it was the Paris Jail. And I worked there for about three years. And then not long after that I was actually pulled to go on the street. Worked the street as a road deputy for about two years and I was promoted as the supervisor over the road and that was going to be in about 97. And worked in that capacity for another two and a half years and then was moved in the detective division. And I think during that time was probably when you probably came on board, I would think as a road deputy. But I left. Worked on the street for a while and then I left, like I said, with the detectives, and then was in detectives for a couple years and was promoted to. I say promoted. I was actually moved into the training division where I actually took on the role of a training officer as well as the full time SWAT commander.
- [07:39]
Dax Shepard
Right. In fact, you. You started this.
- [07:41]
Woody Overton
I did actually back in 97 when I was a patrol supervisor. We started kind of touring around. We're trying to start some kind of SWAT team because we didn't have one. And at the time we had some. I can't recall the officer's name right off. I hate that I can't recall his name. But there was an officer that was killed. He was a narcotic officer in Baton Rouge doing a search warrant. We were starting to have a lot of search warrants in Livingston and we just felt like it was time to make a change. So went to the sheriff at the time and he allowed me to start doing some research and sent me to training all over. And we created our SWAT team in 97. So I did that for several years as well as training up until the year of 08. And so that wasn't long after Katrina, which was in 05. I was moved to the courthouse and was made the chief operations.
- [08:35]
Dax Shepard
Right.
- [08:36]
Woody Overton
And then from 08. I'm sorry, that was in 06. It was right after Hurricane Katrina. I was Chief operations in 08. Is whenever I was Promoted to chief deputy. And then of course in 2011, Sheriff approached me about running for sheriff. He was ready to retire. And 2012 I was sworn in as sheriff.
- [08:57]
Dax Shepard
Right.
- [08:57]
Woody Overton
Lives in parish. So today as I'm sitting here, I'm in finishing up my 28th year at the sheriff's office. That's amazing what I've done my whole life. And.
- [09:07]
Dax Shepard
Say this sheriff, I mean to cover it, basically, y', all, he's done everything from jail guard to work in the street, answering the calls, dealing with the public on a daily basis. Everything that y' all have heard me talk about in past episodes to detect us and in then, you know, supervisor positions and when, when you're out doing the training and everything, that's not, that's all aspects of training for everybody in law enforcement. That's not just firearms training. It's that whatever classes, advanced classes and people are coming through, he had his hands on it every day. Then getting into the chief operations or before chief deputy, you got into the almost what we call the code and tie side of things, right? And supervising that really takes your aspect. So you've covered and touched every single aspect of the par before you were share. Right. And it's safe to say, you know, coming up on the 30 years that you dedicate your whole life to protecting and servicing the citizens of Livingston Parish.
- [10:26]
Woody Overton
Is without a doubt, that's what you do. That's what I do. It's, I mean, I don't know anything else.
- [10:32]
Dax Shepard
I was fixing to say, if you took that away from you, who, who would you be? Right? You wouldn't. That's who defines you at this point.
- [10:38]
Woody Overton
And I take it to heart because I, I truly love my parents. I was born here, raised here, and I truly love leaving Paris, the community. And I just, I love what I do. I love, I love being a part of the sheriff's office and, and I tell my deputies all the time I'm just a name and a face, right? And the reason I tell them that is because I was in their shoes and I know what it's like to have boots on the ground. I know it's right to have the vehicle pursuits, the foot pursuits, and having to, you know, stay up all hours of the night and sometimes go 48 hours trying to get a crime solved just because you want to bring closure to that family.
- [11:14]
Dax Shepard
You know what it's like to catch a 30 minute nap on top of your desk.
- [11:18]
Woody Overton
That's right. We take these cases serious because I always say this. Our deputies live in Livingston Parish. Their kids go to school in this parish. They have friends. We're so intertwined. We're so connected. And when we have these type of crimes, any type of crime but homicides, we take them personally because we feel like it's in our backyard. It really is. It's in our backyard.
- [11:43]
Dax Shepard
And I think that's what sets the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office apart. And I've talked about that in the past. It's a people. The, you know, the family aspect of it is very real. And. But that shows in yalls level of professionalism, et cetera. But thank you for that. I just want y' all listeners to understand if you could go out and find another sheriff in the state of Louisiana that has had his toes in every aspect of the job, I want to meet him because this is the only one that I know. But. Okay. Sheriff, the. We're here today about Ms. Barbara Blunt. Now I want to talk to about a second. I started getting calls on Ms. Barbara Blunt, like almost after we dropped our first episode. And I, I knew a little bit about the case from the news media. I had gone on from the department by that time. But she must have been something really special because everybody just reached out to me. They're all different people. Right. And. And I don't know that much about her yet. And we're going to get with the family next week, hopefully, and, and talk with them so we can let them tell about miss Barbara and what kind of lady she was, etc. But the. It's so much interest in this case from so many different people. And it got to the point where, especially when we started doing the Corn and Coco series that. And people listen to episodes and they really started blowing out. I was like, hey, call your sheriff. But this is unique. And I didn't know that it was actually a term. It's called crowdsourcing. And until we did the Courtney Coco case where. And there's not. Not many people have ever taken this, this venue of reaching outside the normal channels other than Crime Stoppers or whatever. Reaching outside the normal channels and using the public and, and the listeners to help solve crimes. And, and. But it's, you know, it's a very real thing and these people are very passionate about it. And we get people from all over the world, like on the cocoa case, you would think it was. It was their sister and, and. But the angle being that a lot of people, for whatever reason will come forward and say things anonymous or say things to us that they won't say to law enforcement. Yeah. And which I thought was so crazy. I never would have thought it had been like that. But I'm gonna say this. The y', all, Sheriff Ard really has. Has opened up, and I. I'd say red carpet treatment, but he's opened up the doors and let us come in here. I mean, full access to the case file, et cetera. And I'm tell you this, my preliminary review of the file and meeting with the. The deputies that. Meeting with the deputies that work the case and including Sheriff Hard. Now, Sheriff, during this time, you. You weren't just sitting in the office on this case. Right? But I went through y', all, and there's not one single thing that I would have done different. In fact, that I was amazed by the outside the box, thinking that your guys did and you did to. To go outside the box before this even. And so this. Y', all. This is totally different than. Than the Coco case. This is. This is the finest example of law enforcement work that could be done. And. And so when you. Life first. When we're dealing with this case, you remember, this is. This is different. We have. We have the access. We have the level of professionalism. There's no. There's no negativity, no shadiness or anything that. This is strictly just a tough deal. Now, when you have cases you can have. There's two ends of the spectrum. There can be a case where literally the. The officer could be on scene and see somebody kill somebody, a smoking gun, and you have all the evidence, video, everything in the world, just a perfect. And then get confessions. I mean, where everything can go absolutely perfect. But then for everything, there is. There's an opposite. And I would say Ms. Barbara Blunt's case is the total opposite. I would call it a ghost case, and I'll let sheriff talk about it for a minute. But y', all, we got to have it your help. But the. This case is just, for lack of a better word, it's bizarre.
- [16:41]
Woody Overton
It really is.
- [16:42]
Dax Shepard
Cher, can you just tell us a little bit about it?
- [16:46]
Woody Overton
Well, you know, this. I'm proud to say I don't have very many cases that haunt me.
- [16:51]
Dax Shepard
Right.
- [16:52]
Woody Overton
That actually bother me. And sometimes that will keep you up at night.
- [16:56]
Dax Shepard
Sure.
- [16:56]
Woody Overton
And. And I know that a lot of the detectives that worked on this case share the same feeling I do, that this case really bothered us. I mean, they all do. But this one was unique. And the fact where you have a lady like Miss Barbara that is very loved by her family, she's a Christian lady, that's all Very highly. People think very highly of her. And, you know, she comes up missing, and there is no crime scene. And when I say that, I mean, even we had the FBI come in. It's the cleanest crime scene I've ever seen. And then things went. Worked against us on this case.
- [17:33]
Dax Shepard
It seemed like. It seemed like everything worked again.
- [17:36]
Woody Overton
It was. It was just like. It was just perfect stories. Normally, whenever you work in a case, you go from, you know, you find the first little bit of evidence, and that leads to another piece of evidence, and then. And then you start putting these pieces of puzzle together. And we couldn't even find a piece of a puzzle.
- [17:51]
Dax Shepard
Right.
- [17:51]
Woody Overton
I mean, it was just very puzzling to everybody what is going on here. And the. The really unique thing that happened to us was we find Ms. Barbara Blunt. She's missing. We start looking for her, obviously looking for whatever we could find. We find her vehicle not far from her home, parked on a road. And by the time we get our crime unit out to where the vehicle is, water has came. Now nature's kicked in Mother Nature. And we have water rising. And basically we had water inside the vehicle before we can get it hooked onto a wrecker.
- [18:28]
Dax Shepard
Right.
- [18:29]
Woody Overton
It was. It was that crazy. And so we did a lot of searches and we've, you know, DNA samples. I mean, we've done a lot with this case.
- [18:36]
Dax Shepard
Yeah, back it up for a second. I think it was May 2, 2008. Ms. Barbara Blunt lived. And. And I saw all the photographs at home. I haven't been there yet, but I plan to go there. Y', all. The. This house. This is a nice, nice house. Very well kept. I mean, I was almost like OCD kept. It was so clean. Those things were so neat. And it was during the daytime that she went missing. And just other than a couple items. And I'll get into on later episodes is it appeared she was doing some type of spring cleaning and then she's gone. Right. And. And then I. I think y' all responded. And the, you know, a short time later, her. Her vehicle was found on a hunting.
- [19:33]
Woody Overton
Yes.
- [19:35]
Dax Shepard
But then y', all. The weather, they said just the bottom fell out.
- [19:40]
Woody Overton
Fell out.
- [19:40]
Dax Shepard
12 inches of rain in a matter of hours. And flash flooding comes through. I mean, and they're trying to work even the vehicle at this time so it can't catch a break. And. And. But nothing. And now that. And we'll get into. I'll get into the details on later episodes, but the things that they've done to go outside the box to investigate this case are pretty much just simply genius on top of what you do on a regular case, right? But it's still. It's and I hate I don't this.

Potential savings will vary. Not available in all states or situations. If you're over 35, you're just not feeling like yourself. Maybe your sleep is off, your energy's low, your mood's up and down, or your sex drive has disappeared. It's easy to blame it on stress or just getting older. But what if it's not just that? What if it's your hormones? Perimenopause and menopause can start earlier than most people realize, and they can affect nearly every part of your life. The good news is you don't have to just deal with it. That's where EFFECTI comes in.

I shouldn't feel bad by using a term. It sounds kind of harsh, but it's a ghost. I mean it literally, it really is.
- [25:43]
Woody Overton
It's like I said, I mean, look, we get a lot of tips on Barbara Blunt, and I'd say yearly we get tips. We may get a name or we may get some other information. And you've looked at the file. We follow up on that. And we went the extreme.
- [25:58]
Dax Shepard
Right.
- [26:00]
Woody Overton
I'm reaching out. And that's. That's why we're here in the studio today.
- [26:03]
Dax Shepard
Yeah.
- [26:03]
Woody Overton
Is for that purpose.
- [26:04]
Dax Shepard
Right. And. And so y', all, Ms. Bluntman declared legally dead by now. And, and of course, you know, you can't say one way or another it. If it's a homicide or anything like that because you, you don't have any evidence. But she, but she's gone. The vehicles, you know, moved, et cetera. So the life is somebody out there knows something. And if we can. If we could call it a crime, then I always say, and Sheriff, I know you know this, there's no such thing as a perfect crime. At some point, somebody's going to mess up along the way, Right? Correct. But the. It's been, what, 12 years? Going 11. 12 years, something like that. And people get older, they mature. You may have heard something back in the day or over the years or whatever and not come forward. And hey, we get that. If you know that there's a killer out there and you don't want to come forward, then I get that. But you can call it in and we'll get into all the details in later episodes, et cetera, but we need yalls help. Somebody out there knows what happened to Ms. Barbara Blunt. And we got to do it. Lifers, you can pull it together. We did it before, we can do it again. And this family deserves closure.
- [27:38]
Woody Overton
And that's my only goal. I really want to get this family closure. They deserve that. And somebody does. They know what happened.
- [27:46]
Dax Shepard
Absolutely.
- [27:47]
Woody Overton
And we have to do whatever we can do to reach out. And you said it earlier, and, and, and I can't really put my. Wrap my finger around it either. But you. There's people that don't want to talk to law enforcement.
- [27:58]
Dax Shepard
Right.
- [27:59]
Woody Overton
And a part of me understand that. And so that's why, you know, I came to you.
- [28:05]
Dax Shepard
Yeah.
- [28:05]
Woody Overton
And you know, if they'll reach out to you, I mean, let them reach out to you. I'm okay, whatever. Because, again, at the end of the day, I just want to solve this for this family because they deserve this.
- [28:17]
Dax Shepard
I said, again, just gave me goosebumps. I can see the passion in your face. And you're right. And it's not about who solves it. It's about getting this.
- [28:26]
Woody Overton
All right?
- [28:27]
Dax Shepard
And so, lifers, you got to appreciate. I appreciate you giving us a chance to. To reach out and do this. And it's unheard of for law enforcement to reach out to a podcast to help solve a cold case. And I think it's genius because, you know, we have such a huge fan base of lifers in this area. And at the end of the day, it's our joint mission to find out what happened to Ms. Barbara Blunt. And crowdsourcing again. And lifers, as the episodes go on, just like in Coco's case, as the weeks go on and the word spreads and the word gets out about this, more people are going to listen. More. And the people who did this, the people who know are going to listen. And they'll probably be the first one to listen every week, right? So. But y', all, somebody out there, you know, or you heard something, just have a gut feeling about something, and you were afraid to come forward. Here's the deal. You come forward, you reach out to Gemini, the anonymous line, it not going to give you up. And we'll never release your name or your information to anyone, including law enforcement, unless you want us to. But just give us information. Let us. Let us do what we do, and let's find out what happened to Ms. Barbara Blunt. And it's just so important. Think about it. If it was your mama or your sister or your aunt or your grandmother and she'd been missing all these years, think about what this family suffers daily. And we'll get with them, and you'll get to hear directly from them, because imagine your mama being gone, vanished. And she was a widower, correct? Her husband got killed in 2004. An accident. So, you know what? You know, people do the right thing. Come forward. You did not have to put your name to it. I will never divulge it. I don't have to. But we need your information. And yours might be that little hunch you had about so and so way back when or whatever, or the little statement someone told you, no tip is too small, y' all, at anything. I don't care how crazy you think it might sound in your head or whatever. Send it to us, okay? We can do this. Find out what happened to Ms. Barbara Blunt.
- [31:11]
Woody Overton
And I want to say something on that, too. You're exactly right. No tips too small.
- [31:16]
Dax Shepard
That's right.
- [31:16]
Woody Overton
A lot of people, unfortunately, they'll say things like, well, you know, I thought I seen her or maybe she was with somebody, but I didn't. I wasn't really sure. It doesn't matter if you think that's right, that you know something or you think that you may know who's involved or anything. We need that information. I mean, we. We do have tools to be able to help us to verify if what you've seen is true. But we have to have that information to follow up on. And the old saying along for we're only as good as the information we receive sometimes, and we need that information no matter how small.
- [31:48]
Dax Shepard
That's exactly right. And y', all, like on. On Courtney's case, the. The. All. It was all the small pieces that all the different individuals sent in that we were able. Jim and I were able to piece together. Me with the boots on the ground doing Jim doing the analytical work. We were able to piece it together. And of course, we. Sheriff, we were getting like 150 calls a day. And as you know, we had to just, like, we're not law enforcement anymore, but we. And we didn't have any help. We didn't have. And certainly people that were willing to help us if we needed it, etc, so we. We did it. And we. The. As you know, sometimes cases roll when you. You're looking at one person really hard, and it just totally ended up being something totally different. Right? But it all came, y', all from the different. Different lifers given the different. And it started with the. The. The smallest piece of information, and that went to another piece, and that went to another piece. But you know what? I'm telling you, you're older now. If you knew something back in the day, you know, you. You probably have kids of your own or a family, your own. And that's what happened in Courtney's case. And people started coming forward, they were thinking, oh, my God, you know what? I held on to this all these years. It was just a thought. And y', all, we gotta do it for Ms. Barbara Blatt. All right? We gotta do it for this family. Put yourself in their shoes. I know it's one thing when I'm sitting here talking to the sheriff today about it, and we're talking about the base facts of the case, but when you hear this family's pain, just like you heard us do in the past, when you hear the real pain. Right. And Sheriff, I know you know this family and that they're tore up. They are.
- [33:42]
Woody Overton
I mean it's just. I mean you can only imagine what they're going through. I mean I've been around them and I have detectives that have came real close to them. I mean they're on first name basis.
- [33:50]
Dax Shepard
Sure.
- [33:51]
Woody Overton
It's just, it's very sad to watch this, this, this go on. And again, that's our motivation is to get that closure.
- [33:59]
Dax Shepard
And they live with it every day, every minute of every day. And so what if it was your mama and or your family member? But I tell you this, Sheriff, we'll either solve it or I'm a die working on it of old age. I know you're not ever going to get off of it. So I really appreciate it. And y', all, again, this is a whole different ball game. I think we're like 99% ahead where we started in past cases. We have the level of professionalism and the, the work has been impeccable. And I not just saying that because I know those guys and, and the, and I met with him for many hours the other day at your office and they're just like you. I mean this is the one that eats them. Right?
- [34:56]
Woody Overton
And it does. And look, you've seen the case file is huge because every year there's something that goes on and it just so.
- [35:04]
Dax Shepard
Much, so much information. And so y' all were doing today again announcing the case. I know a lot of y' all been waiting on it, so we're going to start putting out more and more in but you can start calling now and we'll, I'll get the tip line in on, on the show notes and we'll have it on the social media and everything. But we're going to, we need you to share it. Share it, share it, share it. Share the episode. Get it out. Share. I think we're gonna do some stuff with may media and push out even further. Share it, share it, share it. And the more it gets out there, the more will come through. But I, I don't know. I, that the, the. I just really, really appreciate you being a visionary and stepping outside the box like this. All right? And, and I promise you that we're going to do the best that we can and we're not going to get off of it. And again, the all, you know, for a man in his position to put aside anything, you know, whatever you heard it, it's not about pride or whatever, it's about finding out what happened to Ms. Barbara Blunt. And I think that's huge. I think it speaks volumes to you.
- [36:34]
Woody Overton
You know, sometimes we get. You said it earlier again. It's easy to get tunnel vision on these cases.
- [36:40]
Dax Shepard
Sure.
- [36:41]
Woody Overton
And you get on one track.
- [36:42]
Dax Shepard
Right.
- [36:43]
Woody Overton
And you can miss things. And I've learned over the years, don't ever get tunnel vision.
- [36:48]
Dax Shepard
Right.
- [36:48]
Woody Overton
Even if the evidence is leading one way. Don't get tonal. If you. If you get that tunnel vision, you're going to miss things. And in this case, we. We were very good about not getting tunnel vision because there wasn't no way to get tunnel vision.
- [37:00]
Dax Shepard
That's right.
- [37:01]
Woody Overton
But where I'm at today is I want to go as far out of the box as if I have to.
- [37:05]
Dax Shepard
Sure.
- [37:06]
Woody Overton
To utilize whatever tools necessary. Necessary. Which we have been doing. This is a new tool to us.
- [37:11]
Dax Shepard
Right. Right.
- [37:12]
Woody Overton
You know, what you guys are doing, I think is phenomenal.
- [37:14]
Dax Shepard
Yeah.
- [37:14]
Woody Overton
Well, I appreciate reaching out to a crowd, a lot bigger crowd and getting their attention.
- [37:19]
Dax Shepard
Right.
- [37:19]
Woody Overton
And this family. The family deserves this.
- [37:21]
Dax Shepard
Right. Right. And so I won't take much more of your time, but, man, I really appreciate you. And. And it's. It's huge. I just thank you for it. I really do. And I hope. I pray that we can get the closure and this won't be keeping you up at night anymore. Right.
- [37:48]
Woody Overton
I appreciate it. I know you and Jim both work the streets with y'. All. I know your capabilities, and I know you have the knowledge, and having the outreach that you do is hopefully going to bring some kind of closure to this case. Okay. I'm excited. Anytime we get any kind of information that we might. We may not have information on this particular case, what we're doing, but I just have a feeling that this is going to lead to a lot more information.
- [38:13]
Dax Shepard
And then y', all, again, I want to thank. Thank you, Sheriff, for being here. You took the time out of you today to drive and meet us at the studio and everything else, and, I mean, you didn't have to do that. But again, it goes to show how much you care and how much you want to solve this case. And we appreciate it. And lifers, we're really going to be doing a lot more on this. The. We're just scratching the tip of the iceberg. But somebody knows what happened to Ms. Barbara Blunt. Somebody knows. Let's bring it home. Spread it. There's. There's power. And in the word. Spread it and in. More people will come forward and we can do this. Bring it home. Find out what happened. To us, Barbara Blunt. Thank you, Sheriff.
- [39:02]
Woody Overton
Thank you.
