Woody Overton
Hello everybody and welcome to this episode of True Crime. Time for Saturday, April 11, 2026 and I'm Woody Overton. I gotta turn my phone on mute. The Saturday y', all a week from today is when you get your next hashtag what happened to Madison Episode. Please continue to call in your tips on all the cases. 313 rlrctip and y' all share Madison and share it hashtag what happened to Madison? It pushes up in the algorithms, gets more views, more responses and leads to more tests. This case is actually being worked by professional law enforcement and just can't tell you what. I can't tell you but prayers for everyone in all these cases. So with that oh, sin's not with me the get she's getting ready for some pretty big stuff in but I think she'll be with me on Monday. But let's get down to true crime time for April 11th. And on this day way back in 1981, I was 11 years old, Sheila Sharp walked in her house in Katie, California after a sleepover and she found her mom, her brother and her brother's friend all murdered. Her two other brothers and their friend were unharmed in the next room, but her sister Tina was missing. A hammer and a knife were discovered at the scene and were believed to be the murder weapon. Three years later, Tina's remains were discovered 100 miles away from the cabin and to this day, the murders remain unsolved. So many families, man, you know, read about them, we talk about them. Just for Bradley. Hashtag just4AO. Of course we know what happened. We know who killed HALEY Just for Ms. Barbara Blunt. Murder bursaries coming up. These are real people, and we've had some great success in the past on using lifers to solve these crimes. And I hope we can continue to do it, y', all, but we can't do it without you. So thank you for liking and listening and sharing. Thank you, Patreon and convicts. We love and appreciate each and every one of y'. All. All right, y', all, we're gonna go out, tell you, and we told you a lot about this cat, the Gilgo beach serial killer, Rex Hummerman. And he's the guy that's charged with killing seven women and scattering the remains throughout Long Island, New York. And he actually pled guilty this past Wednesday, which ends the case that, you know, went for decades and. And everybody, just like when Derek Todd Lee was here doing it, everybody had fears of the serial killer that was in the region that they couldn't catch. Right. So Rex Herman is a 62 year old architect. He admitted to murdering Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, Maureen Brainerd Barnes, Jessica Taylor, Sandra Castilla, and Valeria Mack. Right. Just piece of killer. He also took responsibility for another murder which he had been charged in. That's Karen Vergata. In court last Wednesday, Herman said each woman's cause of death was by strangulation. Meaning this is personal as you can get. He choked him to death. Right. And he'll be sentenced on June 17th. And I'm pretty sure I don't have to look at. Yeah, they don't have the death penalty up there, but who else deserves it but this cat? Right before Herman changed his plea, because, remember, he pled not guilty, the Suffolk County District attorney, Ray Tierney, asked him to confirm details surrounding each murder as the members of the victim's families were heard gasping and audibly crying in the courtroom on or about July 6, 2010. Did you meet Megan Waterman with intent to cause her death, and did you cause her death? That's what the DA asked. Yes, Herman replied. Tierney went on to ask how Waterman, along with the other victims, were killed. Strangulation is what Herman said as Termin asked about each victim's death. One by one, this dude stood there and said, strangulation. Strangulation. Strangulation. I mean, come on, man. Herman's ex wife, Asa Ellerup, and daughter Victoria Herman could be seen holding hands and clutching tissues as they listen. So their lives are destroyed also, right? My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families, Lup told reporters outside the courthouse. Their loss is immeasurable and the focus should be on them at this time and moment. I ask that you give some privacy to my family as they navigate through this very difficult time. Well, you know, it's not the wife and daughter's fault that this dude's a serial killer. Herman has also agreed to work with the FBI's Behavior Analysis Unit to be studied by federal officials. As part of his agreement with prosecutors. Herman has an obligation to be truthful, accurate and complete with the FBI. And the defendant also has an absolute right to change his plea, to accept responsibility and enter a plea of guilty. This is what his defense attorney, Michael Brown, said on Wednesday. That decision is ultimately up to the defendant. He controls his case and that's his prerogative. That's his right. And that's what happened here today when Rex decided that he wants to accept responsibility and didn't want to proceed to trial. Well, I'm glad he took responsibility, but a lot of serial killers would do that because they're proud of it, right? But Herman was arrested outside of his midtown Manhattan office back in July 2023, and he absolutely steadfastly said he was innocent for all these three years. And the trial was coming up in September. But the Gilgo beach investigation was thrown into the spotlight way back in 2010 after police discovered numerous sets of human remains along an isolated beach highway on Long Island. While searching for the 23 year old Shannon Gilbert. Investigators used DNA analysis to identify the remains of several of the victims found throughout the area because they had been there a minute. Remains of six women, Barthelemy, Costello, Brainerd, Barnes, Waterman, Taylor and Mac were recovered along the Ocean Parkway in Gilgo Beach. The remains of the seventh victim, Cassia, were found more than 60 miles away in the Hamptons. Yes, he had his, you know, being a rich architect, he had a place in the Hamptons. He just had to kill him. Another one, an eighth woman, Karen Vergada, was discovered nearly 20 miles west on Fire island in 1996 and later near Gilgo beach in 2011. So. But Hermerman, being the serial killer that he is, also admitted to the uncharged murder of Regatta on Wednesday. And this brings the victims in the case all the way back to 1993. Today was a very special day for us in law enforcement because it gives us the opportunity to turn to these victims and their families and say, listen, we told you we were going to work really hard. We told you we were going to do everything we can to bring closure to you. And that's why we work in law enforcement. And that's what they said at the news conference. This defendant walked among us play acting as a normal suburban dad. And when in reality, all along he was excessively targeting innocent women for death. He thought that by killing them, he could silence them forever and get away with murder. But he was wrong. Because it was these victims, these women who refused to stay silent. Y', all, that's. That is really, really, really powerful. They had a lot of statements, you know, from the victims families about how it destroyed their lives and everything. Naturally, so writes the prayers for all them. In 2022, Herman, who was living in a nearby Mesopega park, was identified as a suspect after the newly formed Gilgo beach task force used a vehicle registration database to connect him to a pickup truck that a witness reported seeing when one victim disappeared way back in 2010. And detectives got on his ass right away, started looking at Herman's life. And prosecutor said that he used burner phones to arrange meetings with the victims before he abducted them. So they also retested some DNA found on the victim's remains, and guess what? It led to Herman. And they had cell phone data indicating he had been in contact with a few of the women right before they disappeared in the Internet search, remember? Clear. Your Internet Internet search history also revealed Herman's interest in graphic torture pornography and you surrounding the Gilgo beach killings, including the renewed investigation efforts. Investigators ultimately attained Herman's DNA after he threw a box of partially eaten pizza crust into a sidewalk trash can outside his office in midtown Manhattan. The DNA found on the box was then linked to a male hair recovered from a burlap used to restrain one of the victims from burlap. Oh, man. You know, after we told you about this before. After his arrest back in 2023, detective spent nearly two weeks searching the backyard of Herman's family home. And there they found a basement vault holding 279 weapons, along with a computer containing what prosecutors described as a blueprint for the killings. So anyway, y', all, I don't know. I don't know what kind of deal he thinks he's going to get. What they said in exchange for his admission to the killing of Regatta. I guess they just in charge him for it. So he said he's guilty. Pled guilty to seven murders. Hell or jail. Good job. To the cops. Way to go. Never give up. Never surrender, y'. All. And it's on the same on all our cases. Never give up. I just truly believe in justice. Just in Ms. Barbara Blunt's case, jeez Louise. I believe in justice. I believe that one day three one three RRC tip. One day the right tip is going to come through. The one day the right thing is going to happen. Justice will be served. Just don't ever give up. I mean, this guy goes all the way back to the early 90s. I don't know. It's time for family matters. All right. We're going out to North Carolina and they got a guy, a husband who's accused of using eye drops to poison his wife way back in 2018. And he entered a not guilty plea to new charges after prosecutors say he staged his own kidnapping. Prosecutors say that Joshua Hunsucker, who's a 41 year old former paramedic, systematically killed his wife, Stacy Robinson Hunsucker with eye drops which contained the chemical tetradrosalene. And he lied about her cause of death. Guess what? Why? To get $250,000 life insurance policy back in 2018. On last Monday, Hunsucker, they said he stood quietly as his defense attorney entered his not guilty plea for first degree murder, insurance fraud and attaining property by false pretense In Gaston County, N.C. prosecutors say that Hunsucker put eye drops and Stacy's drinks over an extended period and eventually led to her death and the couple's Mount Holly home. And according to local WBTV investigators said Hunsucker told people that his wife had died of a heart attack in September 2018 and he filed paperwork with the insurance company. Now this is what this is a little catch to it here. Her body was cremated, y'. All. Stacy's body was cremated within two days of her death. Right. Get rid of the evidence. But suspicion arose when Stacy's mother reported that Hunsucker seemed unusually unfazed by the death and had moved in with a girlfriend shortly after. Well, prosecutors say they were able to build their case on a single blood sample taken by the hospital due to the North Carolina woman's status as an organ donor. Right.

Love it. Louisiana Oregon Procurement aids is my Jam Hunsucker was arrested in December of 2019, was released on a million and a half dollar bond which that's over half of his insurance policy and his waiting trial on first degree murder charges. And while on out on bond in 2023, authorities say that Hunsucker staged his own kidnapping and intimidated and harassed his late wife's parents. He's accused of using zip Ties and the stage kidnapping and claiming his in laws injected him with an unknown substance. I guess this do anything to get away. But he got hauled back in the court in August of 2024 to answer to these new allegations that. Oh, on top of that new allegations that he attempted to poison his daughter who was then 10, using the same method. Prosecutors demanded the revocation of his his bail package. And the judge said swing his ass. Lock him up. Hunsucker has requested that his trial be moved out of Gaston county due to intense media coverage. And a trial date for the murder case is still being finalized. You, sir, are going to get some North Carolina justice. And I am almost positive. Yep, big red on North Carolina. They got the death penalty. Come on, man. You know, I don't know. I don't understand. Killing you. Why, bruh, I bet that dude just thought he just absolutely got away with it. Oh, I did it. I got it. And then I got a burn. Body burn two days after. No way. No way they gonna catch me. Well, justice comes in many forms. And this, this time is because this lady was an organ donor in North Carolina. Go get his ass. All right. You know I hate a thief, right? We're going out to Alabama. Calera, Alabama. And this is kind of a crazy story. So they say Sunday afternoons in Clara, Alabama are usually pretty quiet, right? Maybe grab some sweet tea, watch the football, argue about whether to grill or smoke the brisket in, you know, just a chill southern Sunday afternoon. Just relax, get ready for the week. Well, what happened in Calera was a high speed, wrong way interstate chase over some stolen merchandise and included four children and a suspect with 46 prior arrests across four states. Okay, let me tell you about it. So Clare Police department Officers responded around 2:20pm to a shoplifting call at the local Walmart. Right? Happens every day. And if you get arrested at Walmart, they're on purpose bringing you from the back of the store, right through the middle of store, right through the long ass checkout lines with 400 registers and only three people working. We all know about Walmart, but they want to make an example out of you. So they respond and pick up their shoplifter. And the shoplifter decided they didn't want to go with the police, so they bolted from the scene and headed north on U.S. 31. Then they cut over to Highway 87 toward Interstate 65 southbound. Now, at this point, the officers noted the suspects were driving recklessly at high speeds, which combined with the discovery that children were inside their vehicle, it prompted the cops to say, hey, you know what? Pull back. Yeah, we don't want to cause a wreck. They got kids in the car. And truthfully, that's the right thing to do. But the story doesn't end right. So after the Clara PD pulls back, so you know they're not liable for killing the kids, the Chilton county agency stepped up and law enforcement from Jemison and Clayton P. Clanton pd, along with Alabama state troopers picked up the pursuit. The suspects decided to drive it on the correct side of the interstate was optional. So they cross over and go the wrong way on i65. Now, I've seen this happen, and it ended up with a lot of people being dead. The troopers responded by deploying spike strips, which we all know. I told you all about them. And they come rolled up on the thing, and you have to leave them a way out. You block off all the lanes and you leave them a way out for the vehicle to go through. And right before you're standing out there putting your life at risk, I've done it. Right before the vehicle gets to you, you roll it out and it hits it. When they hit them, they don't just. They don't blow up like you see on tv. It just punctures it. And then within the next half mile or so, the tires will run flat and you're. Sooner or later, you're dragging sparks and the vehicle becomes disabled. So they did that, and the. The vehicle will stop. And guess what? He ran like a little bitch. They ran like little bitches on foot, but within minutes, they had them 10, 15 under arrest. So let me tell you about the kids involved in this, y'. All. They said perhaps the most sobering detail in all of this. Investigators say two young children were inside the vehicle throughout the entire chase, and two more children had been left behind at the Walmart. And this according to the Alabama Department of Human Resources. And they were notified and they. They took custody, all four of the kids. The first suspect was from Montgomery, is now facing charges including felony attempt to lead, reckless endangerment, abandonment of a child, retail theft, and 16 other traffic violations. And they. The cops also said that this individual has prior retail theft charges. So frequent flyer, right. This would. When they do for 11. The second suspect has even longer list of being a frequent flyer. Has 46 prior arrests across four states and multiple outstanding felony warrants. Right. You get 46 arrests on, like, who the fucking go to court 46 times while going to prison? Well, this person didn't make there all the time, so they were turned over to the Elmore County Sheriff's office which had warrants waiting. And Clara PD credit the multi agency teamwork from Chilton county and the state troopers as essential for bringing the chase to close without further incident. And you know what y' all that means without further bloodshed. The one I saw on Interstate 55, they got on the wrong way and it was a closed off bridge, there's no median and they shut off the interstate and everything else and bad guys kept running. It was late at night and they ended up hitting another car head on. And everybody died. So thank God those kids are safe. How about that? I'm just gonna leave my fucking kids. I'm gonna bring two of them. Or maybe they were left in the car and the other two were used as decoys in the Walmart. What'd you get from Walmart that's worth all that? Well, yeah, I can guarantee you they're banned from Walmart from now on. Y', all, I don't even know what to put this next. This story under. You know the press loves to give names to serial killers and serial rapists and even serial robbers, right? Which is two or more incidents unrelated to each other. I'm going to tell you about a guy who the press deemed the toy box serial rapist. Yeah, you can figure where this is going. His name was David Ray Parker and he said he was sadistic serial rapist and torturer who authorities say may have also murdered several women. This dude was born in 1939. So my dad was 84 when he passed and he was born in 41, say what, 86 years old. And he was mainly raised by his grandparents in New Mexico. And they evidently it was a strict religious home. And he said as children he and his sister Peggy had occasional visits from their violent alcoholic father. But despite having limited friends at school and spending most of the time by himself, Ray wasn't considered a troublemaker. And they said he did display some signs of unusual behavior during his youth. And from an early age he developed a dark fascination with pornography and violence. Let me tell you something, how you get pornography in the late 40s, early 50s, but it wasn't like they had convenience stores how. But he developed pornography and violence, but he hid it from everyone around him. And y', all. This according to the Daily Star in the Mirror us said is also believed that he had a strange obsession with broken bottles. And he amassed a collection of them in a makeshift dungeon he built in the woods at age 15. Okay, that's, that's a new one. For me. But you know what? You grow out of your shit, just like me. He later enlisted in the U.S. army. Oh, but he got a. Yeah, he got an honorable discharge after he completed his service. Right. So he got in and followed the rules. So he. Ray got married a couple times, and he had numerous children. But he deserted his family's and only developed a strong relationship. One daughter, whose name is Glenda Jean Ray, and she's. They called her daddy's girl. Right. She also was known as Jesse. And they said the two became exceptionally close as she matured. One day, he purchased an old trailer and converted it into a toy box, which he soundproofed, and he equips it with a gynecological chair to restrain his victims. The trailer ceiling was lined with mirrors, forcing the victims to watch the horrific torture this Ray was doing to him. This is fucked up. Y' all actually have a picture of it. The rest of the inside of the trailer was fitted out with chains, whips, straps, clamps, saws, and sex toys. The walls of the torture chamber were covered with diagrams showing different methods on how to cause pain. Right. Could you imagine waking up in this place and seeing all that? But among some of the victims was Cynthia Vigil, who's 22, who was 22, who in 1999, believed she was being detained for illegally soliciting sex in a car park. That. Yet after being handcuffed by what appeared to be a police officer, she quickly realized something was wrong. And before she could fight back against Ray, she was Tasered, drugged, and blindfolded. Guess what she woke up chained to bed. She suffered there for three days, restrained on the. On that table I told y' all about with the stirrups by Ray and three accomplices, including Ray's girlfriend, Cindy, his daughter Jesse, and her friend Dennis Yancy. Right. Just a whole party everybody can come to. But she, thank God, she was able to get keys to her chains that had been left on nearby table, and she hauled ass. Well, a struggle ensued between Cynthia and Cindy, during which Cynthia stabbed Ray's partner in the neck with an ice pick and escaped and then hauled ass. Right. So the police, she calls him right away. And that's when Ray's crimes came to light. So the investigators, what they do, they followed up, and they revealed that Jesse and Dennis as accomplices in the offenses. And Dennis admitted to killing his girlfriend, Marie Parker, after her abduction and torture at the hands of Ray. Now, when he's finally captured and the FBI raided the trailer, that's when they found disturbing audio recordings that he had made explaining to his victims what was going to happen to them. So everything he did to him, y', all, he said, I'm about to do this to you and you're tied down. I don't imagine you're going to sleep on that. That's fucking horrible. One recording. He told a victim she was going to be raped thoroughly and repeatedly. And he called her a sex slave. Ray faced three separate trials, one for each of the women, including Cynthia Angelica Montano and Kelly Garrett.

Who had all come forward and they thank you for the. Thank you, ladies. They were brave enough to testify. In 2001, he got a 224 year prison sentence for numerous offenses, including the kidnapping and torturing of his victims. And that's when he earned the nickname the Toy Box Killer. And the authorities believed him to be responsible for as many as 55.0murders. Although none of the bodies connected to his crimes were ever found. That's lie. He had something. He had some certain way that he did it and got away with it. I mean I. I'd like to think that I could get away with a body, but 50 of them, that's. There's no way. He had to burn him or something because you're going to get caught sooner or later. But on 28th of May of 2002, they shipped his ass to the New Mexico facility for questioning by the state police. But O Ray suffered a fatal heart attack just before the question was to begin. And he was 62 years old. And I'm sure the devil welcome his ass with open arms. Say you destroyed. You're a great minion for me. You destroyed so many lives, right? Hell or jail. That mattered me. That dude. The. I mean y'. All this. I mean it really, really happens. It really, really this. You think evil doesn't exist. Even the different levels of evil, you know, like on Madison's case. And no bodies have been found yet. And Ms. Barbara Blunt's case, you know the evil exists in all different forms. Whether you know them, you don't know them. You know, true colors come out and who the. How did. How can you afford to deck out this trailer and make it to toy box rape and murder chamber? 50 people. Unreal. All right, we're gonna bring it back to New Orleans, see if I can play this for y'.

That's right, Liz. Sherrilyn Price remains bitter over the death of her son Brandon Boogie B. Montrell and the circumstances leading up to his death in a shooting where he was an innocent bystander. Price told the court she's incapable of forgiving 25 year old Charles Cannon for his role in the murder of her son. The shooting was two days before Christmas 2022, in the parking lot of a warehouse district grocery store. Cannon pleaded guilty to illegal discharge of a weapon and criminal damage to property for a shooting which his attorney says he did not instigate. Dozens of bullets were sprayed across a parking lot and adjoining buildings and Montrell was shot and killed while seated in his car.

The you're absolutely responsible. You get in a shootout with somebody else and you know you're not a cop or whatever, even you're shooting at the cops, whatever. You get into a shootout, it doesn't matter who dies. Your convicted felon in possession of firearm. It doesn't matter if your bullet hit Boogie B. The comedian or someone else's, you're catching the charge as you should in 15 years. That's not a lot, not in the state of Louisiana. He'd be out in seven and a half a good time. But it happens. It's time for effed up professionals. It seems like I read these stories I, I'd say a couple a week that Liam Marie sends us about different rappers getting arrested and I don't even read most most of them and but the names, if I was gonna be a rapper, I'd be something like heart thug or you know, pimp daddy or something legit. And this guy's rapper name is pooh pooh shiesty. And let me tell you what happened to Mr. Rapper Pooh Pooh shiesty. Now whoever came up with that, I'd like to hear that.

I'm Ryan Rabel, I'm the U.S. attorney for, for the northern district of Texas. Thank you for coming. This week, nine individuals including well known musical artists kidnapped and robbed at gunpoint numerous victims at a music studio in Dallas, Texas. Eight of the nine were arrested yesterday in Dallas, Memphis and Nashville. These individuals who are charged and arrested include Lontrell Williams Jr. Also known as Pooh Shiesty, Lontrell Williams Sr. Rodney Wright Jr. Also known as Big 30, Darius Waters, Demarion Gibson, Demarcus Glover, Cordae Johnson, Darian McDaniel and Terrence Rogers has not been arrested yet, but will be soon. The complaint alleges that on January 10th of this year, three music industry professionals traveled to Dallas for a scheduled business meeting. Lrell Williams Jr. Arranged this meeting purportedly to discuss the terms of his recording contract with one of the victims as alleged. Once these three men were inside the recording studio, Williams Jr. And eight co conspirators, several of whom traveled from Memphis, Tennessee executed a coordinated armed takeover. As alleged, Williams Jr. Produced an AK style pistol and forced one of the victims to sign a release from the recording contract at gunpoint. The remaining Conspirators displayed firearms and robbed the other victims of Rolex, watches, jewelry, cash and other high value items. One of the victims was actually choked by one of the defendants to the point of near unconsciousness. Defendant Wright barricaded the studio door with his body to prevent the victims from escaping. The ringleader of the conspiracy, Lontrell Williams Jr. Was on home confinement at the time of the offense.

As alleged for a prior firearms conspiracy charge in conviction out of the Southern District of Florida. Towards the end of his prison sentence, he had been granted home detention. Part of the terms of his home detention were that he would not commit another federal offense or possess a firearm. His father, Lontrell Williams Sr. Is alleged to have helped plan and execute the federal kidnapping as charged in the complaint. And as described further in the complaint. Within hours of leaving the Dallas studio, a number of the defendants were on social media displaying some of the items that appeared to be the Julie that had been robbed from the victim. Victims. The charging document outlines some of the evidence, just some, establishing the defendant's roles in the federal offense. This is as follows. Electronic monitoring data placing Williams Jr. At the offense location.

Dumbass.

Which would put him in violation of his home detention conditions. Cell phone records and license plate reader data corroborating the coordinated travel of multiple defendants from Memphis, Tennessee to Dallas. Rental car records confirming Williams Sr. Rented a vehicle that was used by the group. Surveillance footage from the offense location, a nearby office supply store and a hotel where several of the defendants stayed following the offense. Fingerprint evidence as well that was recovered from the crime scene matching at least two of the defendants. Social media posts by defendants displaying what appears to be stolen property just in the days following the offense. Greyhound bus records confirming the travel of multiple defendants from Dallas to Memphis the day after the offense. The victims in this case came to Dallas to conduct legitimate business and they were met with firearms and violence as alleged in the charging document. This case should serve as a warning to others who believe that using violence and intimidation tactics to rob others in our community is a viable way to conduct business. I'm here to say that it is not and that if you choose to do this, we will, together with our law enforcement partners here and the other ones in the Northern district of Texas will bring you swiftly to justice. I want to thank the FBI.

Well, there you have it. Prisons are fucking full of morons. I mean, come on, man, you think you get a got a contract dispute? I know everybody hates lawyers. I've had some over the years bullshit and assholes. We had to deal with. Cindy knows all about. And you know, you don't tell the public about it, but you handle your business and you win. Right? But I wish, I wish I could have called the parties that be into a studio and whipped out AK47 pistols and robbed them all their and. But I wouldn't have shared it on social media. And they, they, some of them came in on the Greyhound bus. You can't even fly me from Memphis to Dallas and pick me up at the airport. And then we're going to put it on social media and everything else, cell phones, every. I mean, of course I always tell you, all the feds don't take a case unless it's a slam dunk. And this one is like Michael Jordan flying high. The ultimate slam dunk. And there's a bunch of more folks going to prison. Less, thankfully for them. I bet they're thankful they're going to federal prison and not state prison in Texas. So there you have it. I love and appreciate each and every one of y'. All. Hashtag what happened to Madison a week from today? Oh, come on, man. It's not just Madison. It's not. It's like at least four more, possibly up to seven. No such thing as a coincidence. I don't understand why. I get it. Well, I can't share that much, but I just don't understand. The person that's made these women disappear is not smarter than every cop that's working on this case, I can promise you that. And I don't understand why it's taking this long, but I do. He chose the person that chose these young ladies. They all live in high risk lifestyles and I get that a lot of times these women don't go reported as missing until well after the fact because they move around a lot. They stay in hotels, they're prostitutes and they're drug addicts and stuff like that. But you know what else they do? They breathe, Their heart beats, they sleep, they eat, they have to go to the bathroom. They do everything that you and I do. They are human beings. Let's bring them home, let's get it open the way it should be and hopefully get them all to where they need to be. And I'm Woody Overton, and I love and appreciate each every one of y'. All. You host True Crime Time for this Saturday, April 11, and I'll holler at you later. Peace.
