Hello, everybody, and welcome to this episode of True Crime. Time for Wednesday, August 27th. That can't be right. August. Yeah. Wednesday, August 27th, 2025. Holy shit. It's almost over with, right? The and I'm Woody Overton.
Cindy Overton
I'm Cindy Overton.
Woody Overton
And we're bringing y' all the heat. The neat meat, the treats, the down leats. I was rapping.
Cindy Overton
You're so sweet.
Woody Overton
I was. I was rapping. Before rapping was rapping. The. All right, real quick. And I did not want to go along on this this time. Hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for AO. Hashtag justice for Ms. Barbara. And hashtag justice coming for Haley, right? Never forget Courtney, Coco or Mary Pusho or the other ones that we've assisted in and solved. And never forget that. Less than 1. Then there's. There's over a hundred thousand cold cases in the United States and less than 1% ever get solved. And the longer they're cold, the more the harder it is to solve, right? So for those of you who continue to comment. Wish you hurry up and solve it. Why don't you take that to your sheriff's office. They have a full department full of investigators and computers and they actually fucking live there. And they know the bad guys and girls in the. In the. In this story. Guess what? I know it too. But I'm just me and I'm working well. I got. I got some awesome people that are actually helping me that are from there run down different things and stuff like that. So shout out to them. But the. This case will get solved. These cases will get solved when they're supposed to. That being said, messages. I mean, y', all, look, we was literally just sitting here. My phone went off with another tip and it's all day, all night and from all angles Messenger. I mean it's 313 RLC tip but we get more through other channels than we do on the tip line. And some of some. You know, it takes all kinds of people to make the world go around. And yeah, I've proven this to you. Yesterday I got the longest text message I've ever received in my entire history of my Life. Yeah, like 30 minutes to read this motherfucker.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
And. And it was putting me on blast the whole way through five specific different times. I'm pretty sure that Steve is on meth or. And the. Because there's no rhyme or reason to the gibberish. But other than to call me out personally five different times on. On not reading this earlier message which I didn't see. Didn't see. And, and anyway, so I responded in cam. And I responded nicely. I said, you know, thank you very much and if I missed your message, I apologize and blah blah, blah. And. But as to your personal texting me, you can go yourself. Don't ever contact me again. That's really paraphrasing it. So I said I'm a Christian, not a pacifist. You. I got other to do. Then later on we get this multi, multi page email from this other woman who's is blaming me for the. Her daughter being involved in the murders.
Cindy Overton
I know.
Woody Overton
And you know what? I'm gonna read that. I'm not read it today.
Cindy Overton
I don't. I'm gonna read it because it's ineligible.
Woody Overton
Like, oh, it's. I mean it's all. It's almost comical except for the fact that you know, hey, here's a public service announce for you people. Meth is bad. You should not contact an investigator and. And dump your soul to him when you've been smoking meth all day long.
Cindy Overton
And you I can't. I. That's the one I'm.
Woody Overton
But hey, the good I know that since then, you know, I, I have to show her some of these. She didn't have enough time in the day to read all of them and understand all the different angles that I'm working. But the I mean some of them I just have to show. So it's craziness and it is what it is. But I'm, I'm gonna start if you're gonna take the time to send me a 10 page message and pretty sure you're zonked out of your mind, I'm gonna take this time to start sharing it. So how about that. But everybody else calling in your tips, everything's been fire. It's love. We gotta and we are doing. So that being said, let's get on some true crime time for Wednesday and put a smile on your face. Ladies first. It's time for family matters.
Cindy Overton
So on August 19, a Idaho teenager in Caldwell, Idaho called 911 after discovering that her father, who was 51 years old, Delbert Cornish, was armed and acting aggressively inside their home. Delbert tried to prevent his son from leaving the home and the teenager managed to escape unharmed and alert authorities. Responding Officers found an 18 year old girl who was later identified as hopefully and her nickname was Onyx and she was the daughter of Delbert and she was found dead in the residence and so Hope was or Onyx was formally identified by the Canyon County Coroner's office later that day. And police used automated license plate readers to track Delbert's location to Mountain Home, Idaho, where he was later arrested around 7:30 that same evening. So then the According to the probable cause affidavit, Delbert confessed to becoming very distressed after hearing about the bullying his children had been facing and he made a plan to kill all three of his children and himself. And that plan had reportedly been delayed because the family's oldest child was incarcerated. And so on the day of the incident, Delbert shot Onyx in the head and watched her suffer for approximately 20 minutes as she struggled to breathe. He later wrapped her body in a Pride flag, telling police he intended it as an honor, knowing it held significance to her. Hope's mother, Crystal Thompson, described her daughter as a fiery, stylish, kind and loving presence. And she was struck by she, she was obviously upset and freaked. I don't know how to explain it, but she just didn't understand the unexpected act of violence. She didn't understand the Murder. And so the family is now is trying to handle the grief of knowing that the father had those intentions of killing, you know, all of his children and himself. And so now Delbert faces charges of first degree murder and aggravated assault. And court records indicate he remains in custody and including his plea, and he has not yet been released.
Woody Overton
Crazy, right?
Cindy Overton
Yep.
Woody Overton
As the World Turns Idaho. I watched some play football this weekend, this past weekend. The real pretty country out there. We gotta go. Go ride a Harley up there. Cool, right? My wife is the best packer, y', all in the world. Seriously. We. We go somewhere and, like, she takes it, like, serious and can get this most amount of stuff in the smallest thing, and then we don't ever want for anything. Everything I ask for is right there.
Cindy Overton
Thank you for saying that.
Woody Overton
Well, it's true. Because when we pack it on the bike, you got to do the same thing, so. All right, you know what? Speaking of that kind of, I'm just going to give y' all to lighten it up a little bit. I'm gonna give you the shortest story I've ever given. Serious.
Cindy Overton
Okay, great.
Woody Overton
All right, so we're going to Orlando Airport is a big one, right? And it's a very, very busy, very, very busy hub. And of course, Southwest airline applies there, and we all know the process. TSA recommends you show up two hours.
Sponsor Representative
Early for your flight.
Woody Overton
The store for another day. The. And you get there and you check in and check in your luggage. And I always make. They make me uncomfortable. And then they print the ticket things out, and I have to stick them to the thing myself. You know what I'm talking about? Like luggage.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
And to check luggage in.
Cindy Overton
Well, you don't usually do that. I do that for you.
Woody Overton
I know.
Cindy Overton
Why is it making you uncomfortable?
Woody Overton
Because it just makes me, like, panicky.
Cindy Overton
Panicky for me because I'm the one that's declaring people.
Woody Overton
Wait. You don't always travel with me. The. The. Probably the last time I had to do it was on Haley's case. But the. Anyway, so Southwest, you know, it's busy AF and all that's going on. Well, you know, airports are just not very nice places. They're very expensive. It's kind of exciting when you're going somewhere. Kind of sucks when you get home and you got to wait on your luggage and shit. Right? But when you're going somewhere, it can also be. It can piss you off. And tell me what incandescent means.
Cindy Overton
Oh, gosh, don't put me on that. I feel stupid because incandescent is. Do you want to hear the incandescent lights?
Woody Overton
No. Does that have anything to do with lights? What does incandescent mean when describing a.
Cindy Overton
Human as an adjective? Human means relating to or characteristic of people or human.
Woody Overton
All right. No. So I told y' all this would be the shortest story, and evidently it's not going to be because I. I don't know. I can't remember what incandescent means In. In the sentence. It says an incandescent woman attacked a Southwest Airlines gate agent and destroyed his computer during an unseemly Orlando Airport meltdown. That was caught on camera. What would incandescent mean?
Cindy Overton
Maybe she's lit up. She's fired up.
Woody Overton
She's mad. You fired up. Look at the pictures of it. She's. She. She jumps the counter and smashes the dude's computer. What the fuck you think. You're not going to jail. And so the. The unidentified female flew into a rage at the Florida travel hub after being unable to make three flights in a row on standby. And this is according to eyewitness Peter Tuberville. And you know what? I don't have anything else on the story. Okay. It just ended, so. I told you it's gonna be a short one. But, you know, let's say. Let's talk about that for a second. The. I understand, and I've been there. You don't get your first flight for whatever weather or whatever. The. I've been in there. The second flight. This just said she was like. The third one was. That's it. That's a deal breaker. Now I'm going to climb this counter and whoop your ass and destroy the Southwest Airlines computer.
Cindy Overton
She's got a ticket to jail.
Woody Overton
Yeah. I don't know what else happened. But you know what? Your airport has police for a reason. And. Yes. And they're not security guards, not TSA people. I'm talking about live police officers. They, like. I went to the academy with the other one for Baton Rouge Airport. So there you go. Don't. Don't do it.
Cindy Overton
Don't get incandescent.
Woody Overton
Yeah, don't get incandescent. I can't wait to. Then I get a condescending mother. All right. Good to see you laughing. All right, well, you.
Cindy Overton
You incandescent?
Woody Overton
A few minutes ago, but that was all camera. Nobody knows about that.
Cindy Overton
They know now.
Woody Overton
All right, so there you have that. And let me tell you something real quick, Right? This. This is pretty interesting. It's time for worldwide crime. We're going down to Mako and the authorities driving down the road may code what they find.
Cindy Overton
Drugs?
Woody Overton
Nope.
Cindy Overton
Dead body.
Woody Overton
How many?
Cindy Overton
Three.
Woody Overton
Six. So they found six severed heads along a road in a part of central Mexico where such extreme violence is rare. According what the prosecutor said, the remains were first reported by drivers using a road that links the states of Puebla and to Lexica. And another head and other human remains were found in the western city of Colima on Tuesday. The heads found at Telaxica were those of men and the prosecutor's offices. Now it's going to investigate.
Cindy Overton
Well, good.
Woody Overton
Local media said the site of the grizzly Fine there was a pamphlet blaming the violence on a settling of scores between gangs that rob fuel. Yeah, they haven't done any rob fuel.
Cindy Overton
They have the cheapest gas down there.
Woody Overton
I know. Cheap as so messages are often left on victims bodies by cartels seeking to threaten their rivals or punish behavior they claim violates the rules. Both Pueblo and Texaca are home to gangs that deal in drugs and fuel. But these states are not new to this kind of extreme violence. More common in other parts of Mexico, which is, I mean, everybody knows, daylight shootings and everything else. Killing police officer, what have you, right? So. However, in recent months, bodies have been found in areas near the border between the two states. These are the Mexican states, not, not the United States, y'. All. Extreme violence such as decapitation is more common in the northern states and along the Pacific coast. And it's not fucking funny, but it is. They your fucking violence, your murder rate is so high and it's so bad that they can tell you what part of the country that you, your head's more likely to get chopped off or your dicks going to get chopped off. Over here in this state, that's what they do over there. Over here they cut your arms off and you know, over here they put your balls in your mouth and hang you from a bridge. I mean, fuck me, right?

On June 30, authorities found 20 bodies along a road in northwest Sonola state. Very familiar with Sonola. Five of them were headless. The Sonola Cartel out there in burning Paris in April 2024, authorities in Mexico found seven bodies, with five of them decapitated and another completely dismembered with a message on each corpse in a car left in the middle of a traffic on a main expressway. I'm not talking about a country roads take me home. We're talking about biggest expressways they got. We just get them out, chop them up and jump in another car, leave them a note. So anyway, in April 2022, the severed heads of six men were reportedly discovered on top of a Volkswagen abandoned on A busy boulevard in southern Mexico. According to local authorities a warning sign was reportedly strong from two trees was also found at that crime scene. The gruesome scene said. The month before that six heads and other body parts were found on the roof of a car on the main street of Chilapa in the southern state of Guerrero. Around 480,000 people have died in drug related violence around Mexico since 2006. Almost a half a million people. I mean who, what in the. The. The. I mean at what point do you say enough's enough and like that? You couldn't kill that fucking many people. The Chinese invaded Mexico. At some point your government needs to grab their balls and be like you know what? We're just going to kill you all. We're going to kill you all of it. But this law is applying demand and people be dirty over there. But here we go. Last week Mexico sent 26 high ranking cartel figures to the United States in the latest major deal with Trump administration as American authorities ratchet up pressure on pressure on criminal networks smuggling drugs across the border. Earlier this month Mr. Trump directed the military to target drug cartels in Latin America. Source familiar with the matter confirmed the CBS news. And it's not clear if when the military could take action. I'm pretty sure he's, he's not going to stay there. He's a cinema. Not cinema. But Mexico's president Claudia Schnbaum responded saying there would be no invasion of Mexico. Hey madam president, you countries are invaded just from the inside. 480:000 I'm so glad we didn't buy a place down there. I mean I really am. I know that is just ridiculous. And, and the, you know used to go down there and have so much fun while I was a younger man with my friends. And you live there on the border and just go down there and party our ass off and just get tore up from the floor up and, and have a great cheap time. And I mean it was a big deal but we didn't worry about anything. I'm talking about early 90s and, and, and we, I mean you know you just go over there and party too. But the nothing nowadays fucking even local cops will cross that bitch to get a bottle of aspirin and it could be a million dollars cheaper than the one in the US they're like fuck you, I'm not doing it. The because they kill everybody.
Cindy Overton
They do.
Woody Overton
And as soon as taking 26 and put them in U. S prisons, okay, those 26 people won't be making millions and millions of dollars. But the next man up, it's like the NFL or college football player gets hurt next off the bench and the other one soon will be forgotten.
Cindy Overton
I don't know what to say.
Woody Overton
I don't either. But you know what? I think we both are. All right, resetting. It's time for F of professionals foreign.
Cindy Overton
We're going to Missouri for this effed up professional Missouri park.
Woody Overton
Great beer, hunting.
Cindy Overton
And this is.
Woody Overton
This is Jimmy. What's the name of Dallas Cowboys.
Cindy Overton
He is Jimmy Johnson look like.
Woody Overton
No, Jimmy Johnson's the coach that got fired Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson were on the national championship team together at Arkansas. So Jerry Jones came in and bought the Cowboys and caused a big show and they fired Tom Landry, who was the winners coach of all time and hire Jimmy Johnson. But my point being was Missouri. You know, every time you mention estate or people mention states, the first thing I think about is how's the hunting? And Jimmy, I mean, Jerry Jones has a ranch that his daddy owned and then they still go up there and go hunting on. It was pretty cool. I got to see him. Yeah, you could give a fuck less. Okay. All right. All right. Thank you. Drive three.
Cindy Overton
Okay, so there's a place called Poppy's Playhouse 2, like the number two in Park Hills, Missouri. There's a woman named Tiffany Hedrick, and she's 40 years old and she's the daycare director. And she was caring for a three year old, Conrad Ashcraft. And he is. He was a new child to the daycare and he had only been there for a few weeks, but he was nonverbal, an autistic nonverbal child. And during nap time, the child was reportedly being difficult. And in response, Hendrick took him into a hallway and she laid him on his back and then tucked the sides of his personal blanket under him, which immobilized his arms. Conrad continued to move and so Hendrik turned him onto his stomach, tightened the blanket further, and then placed an 18.2 pound weighted blanket over his body and part of his face to subdue him. We sleep with a weighted blanket. Wl sleeps with a blanketed blanket.
Woody Overton
I like to weighted blanket, but we.
Cindy Overton
Are also grown humans, like grown adults, not a 3 year old and 18 pounds. I forgot what the weight ratio should be for a weighted blanket versus your size, but my guess is this is way too heavy for. She further restrained him by placing her legs over his legs to hold him down. Other staff believed he had fallen asleep and did not check on him again. Hendrick Then left for the day. And Conrad remained hidden under the blanket until his mother arrived for pickup, which was hours later. So when Conrad's mother arrived, she discovered that he was unresponsive and covered up like he was not responding to her. So she called 911. And when the emergency responders arrived, they declared him dead at the scene. So the death was later determined to be from asphyxiation caused by the weighted blanket and restraint. The Missouri Department of elementary and Secondary Education conducted an investigation and has since revoked the daycare's license. A grand jury indicted Tiffany Hendrick on August 14, charging her with second degree murder, abuser of neglect of a child, resulting in death, and armed criminal action for the restraining of him, I guess. Hendrick pleaded not guilty and is currently being held without bond. Conrad's parents filed wrongful death lawsuits against Hendrick and the daycare's actual owner, and former city council member Spring Gray. Also, she filed a complaint against him, alleging negligence, improper training, and failure to recognize Connor's distress. And so, apparently this has sparked national concern over safety protocols in daycare centers, especially like the inappropriate restraint methods for children with special needs.
Woody Overton
Every rule in the policy and procedures because somebody something up. In this case, unfortunately, the baby got killed. Right. But they will have new policy procedures. That place is going to be open anyway. I mean, you do that to my kid. I'm certainly not. Or to the kid that's in my kid's daycare. I'm not. I'm not bringing my back over there.
Mood.com Advertiser
No.
Woody Overton
Right. So. Interesting. Hate the form. Prayers for the victims. Yes. Right. Right. Don't be waiting them down with a weighted blanket. Some people just need to be punched in the mouth. That's not. I mean, the. Yeah, I don't think that's on the level. Like, I'm looking at my map about the death penalty. The. The. This is just stupidity. Right. And. And more negligent than anything else. But the. The. That person, instead of the death penalty, I think they should line them up in the wall and let everybody that love that baby just knock the. Out of.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Woody Overton
And then send them to prison.
Cindy Overton
How about everybody that loved that baby lays on top of her laser down and one gets on top of the other until she suffocates to death?
Woody Overton
Well, I'm trying to show a softer side and not putting them for the death penalty.
Cindy Overton
Well, she could withstand those weight.
Woody Overton
How about I'll make you a deal and we'll go meet someone halfway in the middle instead of having them stand against the wall and Punch in the mouth. We will have them stand against the wall. We'll put it on pay per view so the whole world can see it. And they can line up and they get two by fours with spikes nailed to them and they can hit her in the head.
Cindy Overton
I think that's too gruesome.
Woody Overton
Well, fucking.
Sponsor Representative
You talk about a dead baby.
Cindy Overton
I know, I know, but I think stuff. I think she needs to suffer.
Woody Overton
Joran Bandisloot, do you remember him?
Cindy Overton
How do you not remember him?
Woody Overton
The people that listen to us right now, the lifers that weren't even born when this case went on.
Cindy Overton
I guess so, because we have nieces that didn't know about Natalie Holloway.
Woody Overton
I remember. I'll never forget it. I was at the beach in Gulf Shores when it happened. And it was the daily coverage. His dad was the lawyer and the judge and all that shit and searching for Natalie and all that. And I really, really, really. I mean, you've heard me say this before. I always want to work that case. Like I don't have enough to work. But the. So ultimately, y'. All. Banderslee Jordan Bandersley murdered Natalie Holloway even though they never found her body. And he tried to blackmail the mama. And years later saying, give me X amount of dollars and I'll take you to where the body was and blah, blah, blah, whatever. They got him on some charge on that. But then he gets bound killing, leaving a hotel room where he murdered another girl that he picked up in a casino. Kind of like he picked up Natalie at the bar. Anyway, finally got his ass in prison, right? And he's probably a decent looking dude when he was younger. The. We're talking back in the 90s now and I keep forgetting how fast. Yeah, I can't that. That I'm actually old now. But these. He's old too. But what do you think life is like in a prison down there in Buenos Aires or wherever the he's at?
Cindy Overton
Probably not that great.
Woody Overton
Yeah. Well, let me tell you all about it. You ready?
Narrator/Reporter
Time behind bars has just gotten even worse. Vander Slot was initially jailed in 2012 after pleading guilty to the murder of Stephanie Flores. He strangled her in a hotel room in 2010. Speaking in court about the murder, Vander Sloat told the judge. Yes, I want to plead guilty. I wanted from the first moment to confess sincerely. I truly am sorry for this act. I feel very bad. Vander Sloot was sentenced to 28 years in prison for Flores's murder. He then received an additional sentence for the Natalee Holloway murder case. After holloway disappeared in 2005, the case took the world by storm, and even Dr. Phil got involved. Somebody said, oh, that's John Vandersloe. He likes to prey upon young female tourists. Vander Sleep Sloot became a prime suspect, but repeatedly denied that he was involved in her disappearance. In 2006, van der Sloot told ABC News, the last time I saw her, she was sitting on the sand by the ocean. Years went by, but authorities could never get him to admit to any wrongdoing.
Woody Overton
He killed my sister. Who's to say he's not going to snap and kill somebody else?
Narrator/Reporter
Then in 2023, van der Sloot was extradited from Peru to the US because he he faced extortion and wire fraud charges for taking money from Holloway's parents after telling them he would reveal the location of her body. Although he ultimately never did. In order to get a lighter sentence for these charges, Van Der Sloot revealed the disturbing details of her murder. He admitted that he kicked Holloway hard enough to knock her out after she refused his sexual advances, then picked up a cinder block and hit her with it. He said that after killing her on the beach in Aruba, he put her into the water and that was the last that he ever saw her. The confession turned out to be more shocking than anyone anticipated. Yet it still led to a lighter plea deal for Vander Sloot. He was ultimately sentenced to 20 years for extortion, a term that was set to run concurrently with his sentence for Flores's murder. However, his time in prison has likely been worse than many thought it would be. In April 2024, while serving his sentence at Peru's Chayapalca Prison, Van Der Sloot was attacked by two inmates. Once the fight broke out, more inmates joined in. Before prison guards could intervene, Van Der Sloot was seen by medical professionals following the incident, despite only suffering minor bruises and cuts. Reps from the prison refused to reveal too many details from the attack, but shared with the New York Post that Van Der Sloot wouldn't face any repercussions because he didn't start the fight. Van Der Sloot's experience in Chayapalca was a complete 180 from what his prison time had been like just months prior. In October 2023, it was reported that he was living a cushy life in prison. Peru's prison system allows inmates to wear their own clothing. He bounced from Peruvian prison to Peruvian prison and reportedly had access to the Internet, television and a cell phone. Insert certain locations. At one point, Vandersloot even felt cocky enough to threaten a prison official. Jordan Vandersloot threatened to kill the warden of the prison where he had been serving a 28 year term. Besides all the amenities to which Van Der Sloot had access, he also struck up several romantic relationships with women on the outside. A February 2024 report in the New York Post revealed that Van Der Sloot was reportedly having sex with three different women. Women. When asked about these relationships by the Post, a spokesperson for Peru's National Penitentiary Institute responded. He was approved for conjugal visits. He has the same rights as any other prisoner.

He told me at one time that he could play online gambling. He had a cell phone for while he called me.
Narrator/Reporter
As shocking as this may seem to the public, it doesn't seem like much of a surprise to a former childhood friend who shared. He's a player and has always been a player. Women have always been attracted to him for some reason. So while Vander Slo's time in prison has been bizarre by US standards, at least he remains behind bars paying the consequences for taking the lives of two young women.
Woody Overton
Well, there you have it. And the case has always, always fascinated me. It's good to know that, Mr. Vanisle. I mean, nobody wants to give it to being approved in prison, but obviously when they get to have sex with females and they get a phone, computers and whatever. But then they swung him, I guess he threatened that ward and then they swung into a nasty proven prison. But he's got 28 years. Hey, it's almost time. Think about it. I'm thinking it was like 97, 2007, 17. Fuck, it's coming up like now. Watch this. When is yourn Van Der Sloot scheduled to get out of prison?
Cindy Overton
Okay, I found this on the web for when is your Van Der Le scheduled to get out of prison? Check it out.
Woody Overton
All right, so it says you're on. Vendorsleet is scheduled for release from prison in Peru on or about June 10th.
Cindy Overton
10Th of 2028.
Woody Overton
Then they stepped up the game bit. It's 2045. Oh, I'm pretty sure I'll be dead by now.
Cindy Overton
No, you're not.
Woody Overton
Yeah, because the. The 2000.
Cindy Overton
20 years from 2000.
Woody Overton
I was 30 and 21. I'm 55. Is it 20 years?
Cindy Overton
It's 25 right now into 45, that would be 20 years. So you'll be 75 years old.
Woody Overton
Oh, yeah. Obviously kicking. I'll be deer hunting somewhere. The. Anyway, there, there you have it. So he's got. And one thing they didn't mention in, in that, in that story. He's also got a drug trafficking violation. In 2021, he was sentenced to an additional 18 years for smuggling drugs in the prison. Yeah, pretty cool, right? And then.
Cindy Overton
So cool.
Woody Overton
Peruvian law prohibits prison sentences exceeding 35 years for non life sentences. So they had. That's why they had to add all these different charges to them. And there you have it. So rest in peace. All the people he killed, at least he's locked up. You know what I mean? So I don't know.
Cindy Overton
I don't know either.
Woody Overton
But that's. I don't have anything else, y'. All. You know what this is? And I've said this before, I'll say it again. The. There's a couple weeks a year that traditionally people just don't tune in podcasts, and that is Labor Day weekend, the end of summer. Because I'm sure y' all all at the beach partying and hanging out, watching the grandbabies, whatever it is, whatever age range you're in, doing what you do or by a swimming pool and barbecuing for this week. And so you got that. And then, of course, Thanksgiving week's kind of tough. It's in the beginning, Thanksgiving week's okay, but then Wednesday through that Sunday, you're just, you know, muscle night podcasts. And then Christmas Eve and Christmas week, and then New Year's is a little bit better and the Fourth of July, depends when it falls, so.
Cindy Overton
And around here, Mardi Gras.
Woody Overton
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's true. But the. They, they all catch up. They always catch up. And so when I say that week is slow, I mean, I don't mean this. The show is slow and you don't get the numbers. Eventually it's slow. But anyway, love y'. All, have some fun. Wear sunscreen, eat some barbecue and you got anything else?
Cindy Overton
Nope.
Woody Overton
Woody Overton.
Cindy Overton
Cindy Overton.
Woody Overton
Holler y' all later. Peace.

Cindy balances the gravity with empathy and occasionally deadpan wit, especially in discussions of child victims and justice for families.
This episode is a powerful medley of true crime stories, analysis, and commentary from seasoned investigators. You'll get not just the headlines, but inside perspective on victim advocacy, how crimes are covered (and sometimes misunderstood), and unfiltered reactions to both the horrors and absurdities of real criminal events. The hosts’ mix of empathy, anger, and humor makes their discussions memorable and uniquely human.
