So, all right, Update on the YouTube channel. My wife has been working diligently for, I don't know, over a week now on with YouTube. So what they did, y' all is they hacked into our gmail, but they also posted and we don't know what it was, but they posted evidently some. I don't know if it was child porn or some kind of shit there that YouTube brought it to a screeching halt for community violations. This is after they hacked into her account. And so YouTube has acknowledged that we were hacked and it was bad shit and then they approved us and then somebody else on YouTube came back evidently didn't get the memo from the other person and said you had a video violating community standards. Da da da da. So still doing those little battles. No big deal. I'm Claiming the victory on and they were going to get it back with all seven years worth of stuff. And we'll be able to start bringing the hashtag just for Bradley and hashtag just for AO and all these shows again on YouTube for all you people out there that follow us on YouTube. So that being said, y' all continue to call in your tips 313RLRC tip and just get that case is just wide cases now, just wide open. I mean, all day, every day, the phone is ringing and way more people that I can talk to and digest and process and still be able to not have my head exploded. But it's coming and I want to give a shout out to all the great people of Vernon Parish who have reached out and offered assistance not only through tips, but in different ways. And you know who you are. You are awesome. Thank you so much. Prominent people. The. I'm not gonna say I can even tell you what their professions are and stuff, because then you might could guess and somebody. I hadn't even told you about the sin. But anyway, so thank y'. All. Hey, Burning Parish is full of good people, of course. Has got some heads, too.
E
Yes.
Woody Overton
I mean, definitely has some heads.
E
Every place has.
Woody Overton
That's. That's true. That's true.
E
Yeah. Their shithead to good people ratio might be a little higher.
Woody Overton
Well, I don't know, because I get. I didn't know that TikTok had direct messages. So this morning I spent like an hour and a half when I found that trying to answer all these people that messaged me directly. And I mean, every parish acid. Right. So many cases, people from other parishes like, oh, you doing theirs through these. And just one after another after another after another. I said, I wish I had the time and resources, but I just don't.
E
I'm sorry to interrupt you, but the. I had to use Twitter or X as you know, to get YouTube's attention. Right. Because that was one of the recommendations. If they don't go through any of the other channels you go to. And they immediately. Not immediately, but relatively speaking, immediately responded. But when they DMed me, I saw all of the DMs from our YouTube or Twitter.
Woody Overton
I hadn't even been on Twitter.
E
I didn't even know that people. I mean, because we don't do X like, but so many people. I saw you on Dateline. There's a case in such and such. I need you to solve my mother's murder.
Woody Overton
Yeah, yeah. Probably had 15 of those yesterday. And I wasn't even on X. That was on the channels that. That I knew to look at.
E
Yeah.
Woody Overton
All right, well, let's get down to some true crime time for this Thursday. Thursday. What do you got?
E
We are going to Miami.
Woody Overton
Been there. To that airport, if it's an airport.
E
Well, you've been to Miami, too. I've only been to the airport in Miami.
Woody Overton
I wasn't in Miami. Vacation. I was working.
E
Well, but you still been there. I didn't say you went on vacation. That's a Cindy statement.
Woody Overton
It's true.

But.
E
In April, at a security checkpoint, TSA agents found something that some. I don't think any of them had ever seen before. On a woman.
Woody Overton
Oh, Lord, no. Guess. I'm not guessing.
E
Tucked on during.
Ad
I don't even know.
E
It's not comical, but underneath the traveler's clothing they found a Florida woman had hidden not one, but two live turtles.
Woody Overton
Really?
E
In her bra.
Woody Overton
Really?
E
I mean.
Woody Overton
Come on, man.
E
The reptiles were tightly wrapped, one in medical tape, the other one in plastic, and concealed inside her brassiere, as they say, in an effort to avoid detection. And when asked, the woman did remove them and showed the turtles. And one turtle was found alive. But the other one hadn't survived. I mean, I would guess being wrapped.
Woody Overton
In plastic with a dead turtle in you titty.
E
Oh, my gosh. The surviving turtle was handed over to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and it was later identified as a common musk turtle. And the word common is capitalized, so that tells me that that's the, like, formal name. Common musk. I don't know what that is. But federal authorities, including the Miami Dade Sheriff's office and U.S. customs and Border Protection, responded to help manage the situation and ensure the remainder remaining turtles welfare. The TSA used the incident to issue a blunt public message. Stop hiding animals in weird places on your body and then trying to sneak them through airport security. That is in quotes.
Woody Overton
Man, how stupid.
E
They emphasize that while small pets are allowed through checkpoints, they must be carried and not concealed under clothing.
Woody Overton
I'm pretty sure they. Those weren't pets. They had a buyer for them.
E
Yeah. And so they tell another incident that happened in March. A man in Newark Liberty International Airport. And when they did his body scan, TSA officers discovered he had concealed a live Turkle turtle inside his pants.
Woody Overton
What?
E
Wrapped in a towel. And that turtle did survive. But the man, of course, missed his flight, was escalated, escorted out by the police.
Woody Overton
I remember when. When the cops say, we need a secondary search of you, ma', am, before they found TTS turtles on her titties. Turtles on her titties. Tots turtles on her titties. That is funny. It's not. I mean, it's not funny for. I love turtles. Not snapping turtles and. But I like the sea turtles and they are endangered species.
E
So are you allowed to have turtle meat?
Woody Overton
Yes, in Louisiana, but not endangered turtle meat. I mean you go out in the pond right out here and there's 4,000 turtles and there's. But you're not going to eat them because they're a bitch to clean. We actually have about a pound of turtle meat in the freezer. Came off of 110 pound loggerhead. That might call. But you I've cleaned a turtle for and it's. It is. It's worse than cleaning garbage. Yeah. With these chainsaws.
E
And you chainsawed it and it was shot in the head and it swam away?
Woody Overton
No, no, it was. Yeah, it swam away. When we got in the boat, we shot it ahead like four times and got in the boat and got back to the dock and it was still alive.
E
I know. And even after you chainsawed it and you had the fillets out, you threw it back in the water and it swam away.
Woody Overton
I'm pretty sure it was having a bad day, but prehistoric shit there. And you know, this is how things happen. And I am going to upset you this morning. It's time for family matters. Going to Michigan and I've already, I've already checked my chart, Kimmy, before started to read this because holy shit, here we go. Going to Michigan does not have the death penalty, but they do have a lady, a war lady, a female by the name of Chelsea Duperron. And she was a mom. She's been to trial recently and four, beating her eight year old daughter to death. Now wait till I tell you the details of this. So In March of 2024, the cops got a call to Dupron's home in Wayne, Michigan. And when they get there, they find her daughter Lila unresponsive in a bedroom. The. All this can be hard to hear. I mean, I mean I'm a little hard ass, but this is, this brings back memories. Lila was wearing only a diaper and she showed evidence of extensive physical abuse. They take her, you know, the work, the scene tagger and bagger and take her for the autopsy. And during the autopsy the pathologist that's doing it said she died of blunt force trauma. But her injuries were so severe that she was unrecognizable. And Dupron had assaulted her daughters days earlier and did not get her any medical care despite lala deteriorating conditions. So she'd wait till I. Wait till you hear this. So she. She did it. I guess she knew her ass was in a crack. So the investigators talked to her. She's. She said a lot of fell down the stairs. But her boyfriend told the investigators that she had spoken of hearing a spirit or ghosts that made her feel crazy. But prosecutor says she's full of shit. And they used evidence instead. And the evidence this where it gets bad. Bruises from head to toe. Diapers purchased for a bedridden child. And days of neglect that contributed to Lila's death. Now, she was originally charged with felony murder and first degree child abuse, but she pled guilty to second degree murder earlier this month. And at the sentencing, of course, prosecutors want the maximum right. Due to the baby being being beat and bruised over every inch of body. And I can assure you in this autopsy, they actually measured the bruises and counted them, took photographs of them. Unlike Austin Abanion's case. Although that's not really the pathologist fault. I just. I can't get over. I just can't get over the lack of care that Austin Abanion was given. And. And. But I also can't really put all the blame on the pathologist because they just getting another doper in. No detective, no investigative casework said it's an overdose. And so they just went through and through the motions.
E
If you was like Haley's case.
Woody Overton
Same, same, same thing. Yeah. So listen to prosecutor told judge said there was not one spot from head to toe that was not bruised or mark. This was sadistic. This was torture. Well, the judge agreed and increased several of the offense variable scores based on the level of violence and psychological injury inflicted upon the family. The judge described the photos taken at all times, y'. All. The judge described the photos, Lila's injuries.
Sponsor
As the most horrific she had ever seen. And added that the child sat for.
Woody Overton
Two to three days in the condition she was in with no medical attention while her mom bought diapers and thermal wraps instead of calling 911 because she need. Maybe she's thinking the baby's going to wake up, she's going to wrap her in bedroom kids diapers, which she wasn't. Right. In a tearful victim impact statement, Lila's paternal grandmother, Terry Castle, described years of being kept from the child due to what she claimed were false allegations. She said, we never gave up faith that one day she would come back to us. But now we've lost her forever. So Ms. Dupont gets up in her sentencing phase. What did she say?

Did you know your calendar age doesn't always match how old your body really is? I didn't until I took the True Age test from True Diagnostic and it opened my eyes. Biological age is one of the most accurate indicators of how fast you're aging on the inside, and that directly predicts your risk for serious health problems. Turns out, if your biological age is just five years older than your actual age, your risk for things like heart disease or cancer can go up by 30 to 50%. That's a real number, and it made me pay attention. I learned that my heart, lungs and hormones are aging faster than they should be, even though I don't feel it every day. My biological heart age came back at 65.1, which is higher than I'd like. My brain and immune system were also aging faster than my calendar age. That was a surprise, but not all bad news. My liver and musculoskeletal system are actually aging slower, and that gives me some hope. They also showed me something called my Dune end pace score, how fast my whole body is aging year by year. Mine came back at 1.1, which means for every year that passes, I'm aged 1.1 years. Biologically, that pace has been tied to a 56% higher risk of death and chronic disease, which was a wake up call. Since getting my results, I've started tightening up my diet and I'm making sure I take my thyroid medicine every day and I plan to get back into lifting weights. I cause this isn't just about aging, it's about quality of life. Truediagnostic gave me clear strategies to slow that pace down based on cutting edge research from Yale, Duke and Harvard. The test was easy. I did it right from home. Just a quick finger prick. Mail it back and a couple weeks later I got a full breakdown of how each of my 11 organ systems is aging. It's not just a number, it's a full map of where you're headed and how to change it.

Nothing. She said she made a brief statement about her daughter, but took no accountability for the murder. And she said. They said she showed the complete lack of remorse and that is the judge based. Her complete lack of remorse combined with the severity of her injuries to the sentence and here's where you're going to lose your Jesus. How much do you think. How much time do you think you get in the state of Michigan for? They said most horrific injuries they've ever seen. Not one spot in her body that didn't have a bruise or whatever. Cindy's already crying, y'. All. And how much do you think she got?
E
She should have had a Pistol taken out of that judge's bench and shot right in the head.
Woody Overton
Right then I absolutely 1000% agree with you. How much do you think she got?
E
10 years?
Woody Overton
No, she got more than that. She got 28 to 50 years in prison. 28 to 50 years first.
E
So is it day for day? I mean, I don't.
Woody Overton
I don't know the answer to that. But I could tell you this, that I hope you women up there in the Michigan state prison. This lady butchered her eight year old daughter. Eight year old daughter. Let me see if I can get this play. You might have to boom it out for the jury out in Washington to be instructed. This is a case. It's a heartbreaker. Chelsea Duperon is being sentenced today for the death of her eight year old daughter.

Case number 2400-636-301. FC People of the State of Michigan vs. Chelsea & Rene Duvernay. We're here today for safety scene appearances, please. Good morning, your Honor. Aaron Wilmoth, P82085 appearing on behalf of the view home. And good morning, Tiffany Howe on behalf of Chelsea Dubrand, P79667 Signal Chelsea Dubrand. Good morning to all of you. Today is the day and time cefis sentencing. Have you had an opportunity to review the contents of the pre sentence investigation record with your claim? Yes, I have. Any additions, deletions or corrections to be made? No. Now, from your standpoint, can I rely on the accuracy of the PRVs, the OBs and the sentencing guideline range? Seen the hiding at 62 to 270 months. Yes. On behalf of the people, your honor, no changes to the body of the report? I do have some changes to the scoring of the assigned variables.
Woody Overton
She's asking for more time.
Ad
Phones need to be on silence. I'm sorry judge, that was my computer. I'm all things.
Woody Overton
Y' all just get mad as when the phone goes off in a courtroom. I want to play this for y' all because I want you to hear this.
Ad
Go ahead. This woman. Your honor, the first offense variable is OV5 for psychological injury to member of victim's family. That was scored at 0 points. The people believe that should be scored at 15 points. The court is in receipt of multiple letters from family members. Also, the court will be hearing from two family members today. So certainly if you would like to hold that in abeyance until you hear from those family members. But I think even just based on the letters, it is clear the suffering that both sides of this family have endured as a result of Lila's death. This was a brutal homicide, a tragic way to lose a child that you love. And I think that the psychological injury would be evidence. And as this court knows, actual therapy is not required. So we do believe that should be scored at 15 points. Anything on behalf of Ms. Duparon? One second, you, Honor.
Woody Overton
She ain't got shit to say. How do you say no? Don't give us 15 points, y'. All. That's the score and scale on the more points you have, the longer time you can get.
Ad
Your Honor, we do ask that you make your decision after new hears. It impacts bank minus to determine whether or not there's actually been psychological damage. What the fuck? Sorry. Psychological injury. How can you defend that? Certainly. Next. Thank you. Your Honor, the other OV that we don't believe is properly scored, Sorry, Tiffany, also OV6. OV6 was scored at 50 points. Based on the plea to second degree murder and the intention required for second degree murder. That should be properly scored at 25 points. Any objection?
Woody Overton
Prosecutor trying to get every year she can score 25.
Ad
No objection. OV6 will be scored at 25. And then lastly, you, Honor, OV7 for aggravated physical abuse. That was scored at zero points. The people believe that should be scored at 50 points. The assault on Lila was brutal. This court had the opportunity to see pictures in relation to a motion that was filed by previous counsel. A motion to exclude the autopsy photos and scene photos to which we litigated. And the court viewed those photos. There were well over 200 autopsy photos. 200 people had narrowed them down to somewhere in the 60s not being cumulative because there was not one spot from head to toe that was not bruised or marked on Lila. And I think the court has seen that evidence and can see the sheer brutality. Not to mention the autopsy report which was admitted as a plea exhibit which outlines the severe nature of the injuries that Lila suffered in this case. On top of that, eight years old, the evidence shows that Lila was left in a bed not taken in for any medical treatment. And Even so much though put in diapers because she could not use the bathroom. So Lila suffered and she was attacked brutally. And I think certainly if any case warrants 50 points on OV7, this case does. Thank you on behalf of Mr. Gry. Any objection? Yes, Judge. So OV7 does require that the victim was treated with Seder's own torture or excessive brutality. And according to the notes inside for OB7, it says that sadism is conducted that subjects the victim to extreme or prolonged pain or humiliation and is inflicted to produce suffering or for the offender's ratification. There's been no evidence in this record that Ms. Dupron did any of this to prolong lifeless suffering for any type of ratification. That it was done for humiliation. And there was no. It was not done in torture either. Judge, I do agree.

What the fuck is he done here?

Today is the day and time set for sentencing. Anything you'd like to say to the court before the court imposes a sentence? Yes, you, Honor. If it was like this yesterday, I find out I'm fearful of a baby girl. I remember when you got a woman about what you do. What do you think about the name of a fish? And I felt two little kicks from his heart staring as I cried happy tears that my new best friend's name was Lila. On June 27, 2015, I was blessed with the most perfect baby. We grew into the most caring, smart, funny, loving, sweet girl. I was filled with a love I never knew existed. I remember Lila said that while I cooked dinner. And she said, mama, I know why your food is so yummy. Yeah, why is that? And she told me, because you make it with love. I must hear a nervous speak of you first thing in the morning, telling me how much she loves me and her daily reminders that I'm the best mama. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect daughter who I was so pure and so sweet, who is so happy and loving. She never failed to amaze me. I'll never forget when we decided it was time to take off her training wheels. I was so nervous, but she wasn't. She hopped right on her bike and I tucked off. She was a pro. I'm the first try. I believe. I don't believe it. My uncle left some Garfield and SpongeBob. She loved Kit. Kit, you're a doc. Steve Buffet. While most of us heal every family and friends, I'll save remembering where we got something with cousins Nano, Capo, Auntie and Bum. I will never understand why this tragedy has become our reality. Such a devastating loss of the most beautiful life. Rest in peace, baby girl. Until we meet again. I love you always and forever.

See, y' all doesn't say anything.

Yeah, I did it. I'm sorry. I fucked up, or the devil made me do it or whatever. She just read a letter about how good her mommy's cooking was because it's made with love. And take the training wheels off the bike. And you know, when you were in my belly, I asked you, what did you think about the name Lila? That motherfucker doesn't deserve debris there was ever a case for the death penalty. That's it.

All right. Got a little beast mode for you. I don't know how much crime is in this. I was watching some show last night. I was my crab and shove and watching for Deadliest Cat. Yes. I've been watching this since like 2003 when it first came on. And they got this coon ass, y'. All. That's not a derogatory term. That's a. Cajuns can call each other coon asses. And they got this Cajun as a chief engineer on the boat and. And they were talking about one of the captains. He's like, hey, ain't one thing to do when. When you get a snake, you get to shovel, right? To get to cut it. And don't laugh because you know, you killed snakes with shovels before too, here in South Louisiana. But let's go to a different place. And I think. And let's see a place called Broadway in Derry. Do you know where dairy is?
E
Wisconsin.
Woody Overton
I think it's Iowa, but I'm not sure. All right, so this, this woman and they called the police for help and they responded like the police do and they found a snake inside the woman's bathroom. And it was a five foot python. Okay? So officers fucking braver than me, I'd have shot that snake. But they, they placed the snake in a tote and called some nearby neighbors to see if it belonged to them. Okay, pythons, I mean those are expensive, right? Remember that client I had, I had a whole, he had a whole warehouse full of them. So the neighbors told News 9 the snake was found in one of the upstairs apartments. But the dairy police said it's unclear how the snake entered. The snake was taken to animal control, then handled over to the local humane society that specializes in exotic animals. But according to the officers, the snake was docile, friendly and clearly someone's pet. They added that some of their officers were very nervous about the snake Captain Obvious. And that it certainly was not a normal day on the job. Now Chuck Van Kopano, a resident of the building, said he was surprised that snake managed to get inside. He said I'd be definitely scared of that. A snake like that, I don't even like the little ones, never mind the big ones like that. I'm glad it was up there, not down here. Well, Kevin McCurley, who's the owner of New England Reptile Distributors, so it must be in New England maybe, I don't know. Implies says snakes are all spine and muscles which allows them to compress their bodies. I know it's going to give you nightmares. That means they can get the smallest crack. It is a possibility that the ball.

Breath for a little period of time. So that's what they think happened. They think this five foot python was living in the building. Now the gonna claim it now because all the cops have had to show up and everything else. And this woman goes in her bathroom, listen, sits down to use the toilet and it and realizes something's between her legs and looks down and there's a.

Case against Woody.
Woody Overton
I bet you will never sit on the toilet again without looking at it first.
E
I already look in it because I'm looking for pee.
Woody Overton
Not for me.
E
I'm not saying it is for me.
Woody Overton
But you better be looking out for them 5 foot pythons because it, it happens. It happens.
E
If you're not sitting on the toilet, I'm not looking for.
Woody Overton
Hey, I don't pull my in half for anybody. All right, y', all, that's probably too much for today. And I kind of it up with that baby story. Lila story. But that's unfortunately real life. Real life, real crime. Right. I mean, I don't know how else you say it. Anyway, hashtag just for Bradley and hashtag just Rayo. It's becoming out. Hopefully you'll have it early. Well, you. Hopefully you've already gotten it by time you listen to this. But we'll see because you never know what's going to break. I mean, some days we get it out on Fridays or Thursdays or Wednesdays, and some days I get more. And then I'm waiting on to put it into the next episode, so it has to go just a little bit longer. But I tell you what, people upset about this case as they should be. But, you know, I guess coming from me, I cared about all the victims. Right. But generally, people don't give a. About dopers and both. I mean, that's a harsh term, but it's high risk victims, whatever you want to call it. In both AO And Austin Abanion and Bradley were substance abusers. I mean, they. They were. It was known. That's what they did. They went to jail for. On. On the reg. I got some more information in last night. Holy. If I can prove this and I can and it's going to be from public record, then they are going to really have a problem. Yeah, I'm talking about like, dateline worthy problem.
E
Yeah.
Woody Overton
And. But proving and getting the information and proven to y' all is. Is birds of a different feather. You know, even when I used to work at cases like with sheriff's office and there were only eight of us, and sometimes they would call in narcotics guys or whatever team, you know, on a case like this, on one homicide, and now I'm working to that. A couple years old and about to be six years old and hundreds of tips.
Sponsor
People think I'll make that number up.
Woody Overton
I'm not making.
E
No, you're not.
Woody Overton
The hundreds of tips and the. It's going to take me a little bit longer because the further I dig, the more I get. And every one of those tips, I'm not turning this case over until I can say, yep, here's everything I got. I checked these out and they were, you know, crazy people or they were totally legit and I couldn't get off of it. The. When I turn this case over, motherfuckers are going to be in trouble.
E
Yeah.
Woody Overton
And you know what? If I was a Bad person. And I lived in Burning Parish, or if I lived in Burnham Parish at any point and I'd ever done something bad, I'd be so fucking afraid that Woody Overton found out about it. They could not have anything to do with Bradley or Austin abandoned.
Sponsor
That's how much tips I'm getting.
Woody Overton
Because they ain't just calling in on Bradley and Austin. They telling on everybody. Yeah, I'm talking about telling on everybody and whether it's true or not. And then certain points I'm like, you know what? I really appreciate you telling me about your neighbor doing such and such, but I'm working in Austin Abandon's case and Bradley's case. But I mean, everybody.
Sponsor
I got the dirt on every.
Woody Overton
Everybody has ever got dirt on anybody in Vernon.
E
Wait till you meet some of these people. You don't remember names very.
Ad
This is so and so.
E
And you'd be like, oh, I know something about you.
Woody Overton
Yeah, and y'. All. That's coming. And the, the. I mean, it is coming. The boots on the ground part hasn't even started, which is crazy to me. It's just mind blowing because the tips continue to roll in and I have to chase them down as far as I can before I go over there. And there's a whole lot of people that want to talk face to face. And I get that. You know why? Because of murderers. And there's bad elements in this case. 1,000% guaranteed. Yeah, guaranteed. And everything I've said as far as like Dave Detective Vance and and all that, that's what was said to me. This. It's allegedly. This might have a recording of a thing or two also where the same people are saying the same outrageous things.
E
Right?
Woody Overton
And. And. But I'm gonna put it all together, and when you get it, it's gonna be some shit show.
E
So that's probably a very stupid question.
Woody Overton
But there's no stupid questions. No stupid answers. Only stupid questions.
Ad
If person.
E
If one person comes and says so and so told me this, that, and that's that. Right?
Woody Overton
No, but you. Then another person. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, stop. You gotta go find so and so and see if it can be verified. And that's a whole so and so might live in Michigan. Now, you see what I'm saying, right? Yeah.
E
If the same so and so told person two the same exact thing, and then another person the same exact thing, at what point?
Woody Overton
And guess what is it? I have to talk to every one of them. But certainly the more people that verify the person said it, the more Credibility. It has.
E
Yeah.
Woody Overton
That's what people don't understand. You can't just go off and have cog there every time this one calls in. And sometimes they stories have almost exactly the same thing, but just a little bit different. Then you got to figure out what, what. What it is about the differences. It's just so much more to an investigation than just taking a statement for somebody. Every one of these have to be work. But you know what? Bradley's not going to get any debtor. Austin abandon can't get any debtor. Is that a word? Dinner.
E
No, it's your word, though.
Woody Overton
Well, they can't get more dead. Okay, well, they can't even get any more dead, so I don't have to rush. I could take my time. And yes, I'm building a Rolex. I'm not building a Timex. I'm building a Rolex, which is, you know, Rolex handmade.
E
Like a Rolls Royce.
Woody Overton
Yeah, handmade. It's going to be the best in the world, right?
E
I know. I'm your wife. I know these things.
Woody Overton
Yeah, you do. And thank you for being my wife.
E
Oh, you died. You're gonna make me cry again.
Woody Overton
If they only knew the shit you have to put up with. Craziness. Waking you up at 3 o' clock in the morning like, oh, I got this. I got this. And now. Or leaving you for weeks at a time, going out. And I know you're worried, but y'. All, Cindy never calls me if I'm in the field, even though you know, a lot of times it's dangerous. And she will never call me. I know if my phone rings, no matter what I'm doing and it's her, it's either something really, really great or something really, really bad. And you and you continue to run everything and all that. And I do appreciate you. And for all yellow lifers. I think I talk down to her. I don't. Or I interrupt her. Yes, I do do that, but. And I always haven't, always will say something. All right.

The episode kicks off with an unusual and somewhat humorous segment focusing on bizarre incidents at airport security checkpoints involving the concealment of live turtles.

Cindy recounts a peculiar case where a Florida woman tried to smuggle two live turtles concealed within her brassiere during a security check at Miami International Airport:
Newark Liberty International Airport Turtle Case (09:03)
Another incident discussed involves a man at Newark Liberty International Airport who had a live turtle concealed in his pants:
Both cases highlight the absurd lengths individuals may go to in order to transport unconventional items through security, while also reflecting the challenges faced by TSA agents in identifying and managing such unusual contraband.

Chelsea was charged with felony murder and first-degree child abuse but pled guilty to second-degree murder in March 2024. The prosecution presented overwhelming evidence of severe physical abuse:
Cindy outlines the timeline and evidence leading to Chelsea's conviction:
The autopsy revealed that Lila died of blunt force trauma, with injuries so severe that she was unrecognizable. Despite shrapnel from abused conditions, Chelsea initially claimed that Lila had fallen down the stairs. However, testimonies from friends and a lack of medical care contradicted her claims, leading to her plea deal.
The episode plays excerpts from Chelsea's sentencing hearing, capturing the tension and emotional gravity of the courtroom:
Woody and Cindy express their frustration and emotional response to the severity of the crime and the judicial handling:
The co-hosts emphasize the tragic loss and the emotional toll it takes on the community and the families involved, highlighting systemic failures in protecting vulnerable children.
Transitioning from the heavy subject matter, Woody and Cindy share a lighter, albeit still unusual, true crime story involving a five-foot python discovered in a bathroom toilet:
This segment showcases the bizarre and often absurd nature of some true crime stories, providing a brief respite from the otherwise intense topics discussed.
Woody provides an update on ongoing investigations, particularly focusing on cold cases and the influx of tips from the community:
He emphasizes the importance of community involvement in solving crimes and the dedication required to sift through vast amounts of information to find credible leads.
The episode concludes with heartfelt conversations between Woody and Cindy, highlighting the personal challenges and emotional strains faced by those involved in solving crimes:
