Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Community Reflections & Advocacy Updates

(Starts ~03:20)

• Woody describes the challenges of podcasting and the personal/emotional aspect of covering cases over the holidays, including the first Christmas without his father and the anniversary of murder cases they cover (Haley’s “murder-versary”).
• Encourages listeners (“lifers”) to focus their passion on supporting victims' families and actionable advocacy, not infighting:

  “Don’t fight amongst each other. That takes the heat off the bad people... and it’s wasted.” – Woody (05:39)

• Updates on various cold cases (e.g., Bradley, Austin, Haley) and the critical role their podcast community has played in keeping these cases in public view and prompting authorities to reopen investigations.
• Stresses the reality that justice takes time and isn’t like TV:

  “On Courtney's case, I knew in six weeks who did it, but it took damn near three years to get the conviction.” – Woody (08:38)

• Cindy voices frustration at criticism and confusion in the listener base and reiterates their commitment to their mission and the families involved.

2. Crime Stories: Public Safety and Policing

Routine Traffic Stops Gone Wrong (11:15 – 16:57)

• Cindy reports on a Newark, NJ traffic stop where a suspect, Jacques L. Cook, struck a police sergeant with a car and fled, only to be caught after a manhunt.

  “No such thing [as a routine traffic stop]. Routine traffic stops are what get you killed.” – Woody (11:30)

• They explain police procedures, dangers inherent in even standard encounters, and how law enforcement priorities shift during such incidents.
• Both emphasize increased legal consequences for attempting to harm officers.
• Woody injects gallows humor and echoes Ernest Hemingway regarding the ‘thrill’ of manhunts:

  “There’s nothing like the hunting of men…” – Woody (16:46)

3. Holiday Scams & Public Behavior

Jetway Jesus & Miracle Flights (24:18 – 34:25)

• The hosts discuss how, during the busy holiday travel season, some people fake mobility issues to skip airport lines—dubbed “Jetway Jesus” or “miracle flights.”
• Notable quotes:

  “They secure better treatment and better seats... once the flight is over, these travelers leave the plane unassisted and they don’t need wheelchairs. In effect, the flights have miraculously cured these people.” – Woody (26:22)

• Comparison to handicap parking space abuse, with Woody describing an incident ticketing a non-disabled person who parked in a reserved spot:

  “I’ll trade you my legs for your legs for my handicap ticket, and you can park in a handicap anytime you want when you can’t walk, motherfucker.” – Woody (33:21)

• Both denounce exploiting systems designed to help the vulnerable, likening such actions to theft.

4. Notorious Crimes and Sentencing

Serial Killings in Phoenix – Clefas Emanuel Cooksey Jr. (35:00 – 39:13)

• Coverage of a Phoenix, AZ killer found guilty of eight murders in 2017, sentenced to death for six counts.
• Cindy details the timeline of Cooksey’s spree and the forensic evidence linking him to the crimes (jewelry, DNA).
• Discussion of the impact on families and the appropriateness of the death penalty:

  “You killed a lot of people. It's appropriate.” – Woody (39:07)

5. World Crime Headlines

Mass Shooting in Johannesburg, South Africa (43:14 – 47:12)

• Woody describes a mass shooting at a Johannesburg bar that left at least nine dead and multiple wounded.
• Emphasis on global increase in violent, random acts during the holidays and the cyclical nature of “angels and demons” during festive times.

6. Unusual & Disturbing Family Crimes

Fecal Contamination in Georgia Rental Home (47:19 – 52:00)

• Cindy narrates the bizarre and distressing case of a Georgia mother suing her landlord for unresolved sewage issues—leading to fecal matter being blown into the home’s air.
• Woody critiques the property management’s negligence and stands up for renters unable to move, wishing financial ruin on irresponsible landlords.

Filicide & Attempted Murders in South Carolina (52:00 – 54:15)

• Heartbreaking story: Jamie Michelle Bradley Brun, sentenced to 80 years (concurrent) for drowning her 6-year-old and attempting to drown her 8-year-old, only stopped by another sibling.
• Cindy is moved to tears as Woody calls for inmate justice and highlights the horror and premeditation of the crime.

  “She held her daughter under the water and tried to do the same to her other daughter... There is no excuse.” – Woody (52:20) “All you lifers in the female prisons in South Carolina...I hope y’all give her 80 years of pure hell.” – Woody (53:59)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On case advocacy and audience squabbles:

  “Don’t waste your breath... I don’t give a fuck. I’m going to continue to do what I do, whether you’re mad at me or not.” – Woody (08:47)

• On exploiting handicap accommodations:

  “That’s like, in a thief category for me.” – Woody (33:21)

• On seasonality of violence:

  “Tis the season for the bodies to hit the ground... And on the other end of the spectrum, it’s people who...just blow everybody away.” – Woody (43:34 and 46:15)

• Family dynamics & dark humor:

  “18 years of pure hell... pure, pure bliss, and every pain. Bliss in every direction.” – Woody, joking with Cindy on their anniversary (55:27)

[Cindy Overton]

I'm Cindy Overton.

[Woody Overton]

We are doing it again. And then when I say that, I literally mean we are doing it again. Record it this morning. And I think in seven, eight years, however long we've been doing it, the it's happened to me maybe five times.

Me reading it again as I do every year. And all patron convicts will get the cage a night before Christmas in addition. So we love you all and thank you and appreciate you.

[Podcast Sponsor/Promo Voice]

Hashtag just for Bradley.

[Woody Overton]

Hashtag just for AO hashtag just for Ms. Barbara Blunt in the Haley case. Y' all listen to it. It's just horrible. We're gonna have to do something to burn them down or whatever the call to action is going to be. This is also the week that Haley was murdered. It's her murder bursary the 26th and hard times. Ms. Barbara's hard times for a lot of people. It's my first Christmas without my daddy. I'm okay with it. He's. He'll be with me. But know a lot of people are hurting and praying for all y' all and Bradley and AO The I did two posts in the Criminal Conversations page because of all this. Yeah, yeah, as my mama would call it. People bickering and stuff like that. Y', all, that's a waste of space. Don't fight amongst each other. That takes the heat off the bad people and burn and parish and it's wasted. I don't even get involved. People send me every day about this person said that, that person said that and normally I don't get involved and because it takes me away from doing. Focusing on the. Which I'm supposed to be focusing on, which I can't tell you about, which is unfortunate. But I'm not going to do anything to mess up the case. Bring it back home. Y'. All. Make posts about Bradley, make posts about Austin. The. The. I had one o' clock last night. Somebody messaged me some pretty good information that I know that this case is being worked besides by Woody Overton. I can tell you that much. I know. Which is a huge step because it was before.

[Cindy Overton]

Right, right.

[Woody Overton]

So do not fight amongst each other and lifers who are knew because of Austin Bradley and you don't know about Haley's case. Look, you know, I get it. You tuned in to hear about Bradley. Well, the show notes say hashtag just for Bradley and hashtag just for Haley. If you don't know who Haley is. It's a tragic case and we pushed it and we got justice as much as we could. We got them to re allegedly reopened the investigation. They got news coverage and you know, we're Blessed to have Ms. Barbara and Stella in them in our lives now and stuff like that. And she gets the love from the lifers every day. But you know what, but we've been work. I've worked other cases before. Austin and Bradley's, Mary Posto's case, Courtney Coco's case. I'm talking about just on the podcast. I think it's Ms. Womack's case. In, in the. If someone's not sitting in jail, which in two of the cases they are and they would have absolutely gone unprosecuted. And the other ones, they, the families got what they, they really wanted, which is media coverage and you know, people to look at the cases and basically stir the pot, you know, and sometimes justice shakes out in like a second and sometimes it takes a minute. And even on like Courtney's case, I knew in six weeks who did it, but it took us damn near 3 years to get the conviction. So this is not a TV show. All right? And just don't, don't. You can be mad at me if you want to, but don't. Don't waste your breath and putting, putting it down and sending it to me or somebody else is mad at me, send it to me because I don't care. And I don't care. I don't mean to sound callous, but I just don't give a fuck. I'm going to continue to do what I do, whether you're mad at me or not. When y' all get mad at each other, it's like my family fighting. I don't like that. All right? And it's a waste of time. They want. The murderers want you to do what you did this week, which is totally unproductive. Flip it back over. And. You know, when you post a raid and people like that start asking about this and this and this and saying this, that's. None of that is gonna go bring Bradley home. None of it now one iota. Cut it out. Focus back on the stuff. Or if you don't want to cut it out, then quit following real life, real crime, because I don't need you here. So that being said, I love and appreciate each and every one of y', all, and so many wonderful people. So many wonderful people, you know, that we've made new friendships and other stuff, but the. The investigation is where it is, and I can't. And I'm not going to do anything. And. And it's like Morgan and I haven't talked in a couple weeks, and I'm not going to because I can't. And I'll. One day I'll be able to explain it.

[Cindy Overton]

All right?

[Woody Overton]

Right. You know, since Cindy knows because she lives it.

[Cindy Overton]

I do. And then I. I'm not going to say anything. I have a lot to say, but I. I get offended when people are arguing and saying, throwing stuff back on you and he's not working it or. Why would you put the two episodes together? That's why I was very clear in the title about what it was. And I'm confused. And who is this Haley chick? And it's.

[Woody Overton]

Hey, just you getting offended is just the same thing as me being offended. And when we're offended, then it's not focused on where it should be. And that's the point I'm trying to get across.

[Cindy Overton]

And you're absolutely right. We live it. You know, these people become part of our family. Every family that we help becomes part of our family. So it's. I mean, hopefully the new lifers will understand, and it just shows how passionate they are about getting justice for Bradley.

[Woody Overton]

Absolutely. It's all good. All good. Stir the pot over there. Don't stir the pot with real life, real crime, because it's counterproductive. Now let's rock and roll. What you got.

[Cindy Overton]

Foreign? Well, on December 3rd, we had. When you Will say this when I use this word, a routine traffic stop.

[Woody Overton]

No such thing. Routine traffic stops and are what get you killed.

[Cindy Overton]

And so there was what?

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, treat everyone. I'm like you expect they're carrying a nuclear bomb, they're going to kill you.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. Well, this happened in Newark, New Jersey. And this traffic stop escalated into a violent hit and run when a 25 year old man struck a Newark police sergeant with his vehicle and fled the scene.

[Woody Overton]

Okay, well, the one thing you can't do, you can. He ran like a little bitch. But one thing you can't do when you run like a little bitch is you can't outrun the cops. Radios, they're going to say, suspect just hit me first. I'm gonna say 529, signal 18 or traffic stop one Victor Louis, you know, Victor Sierra, Mike, 1, 2, 3, 4, whatever such street. And guess what? Then you're gonna be screaming, he just hit me. Yeah, and then that goes over the radio. They hold up the tactical communications. Nobody can communicate except for this case and God. And everybody's coming. Even the death sergeant's coming. And you can run that radio, Right?

[Cindy Overton]

Well, at approximately 3:30 in the afternoon, the sergeant initiated a motor vehicle stop on a gray 2013 Mercedes Benz C250. And this was at the 200 block of South Street. And police identified the driver as Jacques L. Cook of Union County. And according to the Newark Department of Public Safety, Cook became very agitated and uncooperative during the stop and he refused orders to exit his vehicle. Repeated orders to exit his vehicle.

[Woody Overton]

Not going to end well for you, sir.

[Cindy Overton]

So when officers attempted to remove Cook from the car, he turned the steering wheel toward the sergeant and struck him with the vehicle before excelling, accelerating away at a high speed. As he fled, Cook ignored traffic signals and of course, the safety of others. Driving through a red light at south and Pacific streets, and then he failed to stop at a stop sign at south and Jefferson Street.

[Woody Overton]

Yep. He wasn't gonna stop running like a little bitch.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly. So the injured officer was taken to University Hospital and he was treated for bruising on his knee and swelling. So at least it was, I mean, apparent minor, you know, damage. But it's still, you know what, you.

[Woody Overton]

Know what it is? It's attempted murder of a police officer and you were fucked.

[Cindy Overton]

And so officials later reported that his condition was stable. But following the incident, the Newark Police Department, of course, issued a warrant for Cook's arrest and they charged him with a series of other offenses, including aggravated assault on a law Enforcement officer, resisting arrest, criminal mischief, possession of a weapon, which was the automobile. Was the weapon. And leaving the scene of an accident.

[Woody Overton]

Cha Ching. There's a year stacking up, y', all, right?

[Cindy Overton]

And Cook was ultimately located five days later on December 8th.

[Woody Overton]

Oh, yeah, they had a good old. Can you imagine how that went down, man hunt. Yeah. And they call shaking the trees because you go find Cook's family members, you go find his friends, you go find his work, if he had one, and you're going to shake them. And he knows that monkey is never going to get off my back.

[Cindy Overton]

And they found him. He was a passenger in a vehicle, a vehicle being driven by a 26 year old woman identified as. And when police instructed Cook to exit the car, he initially complied, but he attempted to flee again.

[Woody Overton]

He ran like a little bitch. Did it once, you do it twice.

[Cindy Overton]

So he did get away for a short period of time, but they did finally apprehend him on Stanley Avenue near Avon Avenue. And he was arrested. Oh, Jessica Washington was arrested also.

[Woody Overton]

Yes, she should have been.

[Cindy Overton]

And faces charges related to obstruction of justice and hindering law enforcement efforts after reported reportedly denying any knowledge of Cook's whereabouts prior to the arrest.

[Woody Overton]

I was just about to say, I bet they interviewed her before. It was probably a girlfriend or something. And she's like, I don't know. He's hiding in her closet.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. So police haven't stated, like, his motive for, like, Cook's actions, like what he was being arrested, all of that, but that's where we're at with that.

[Woody Overton]

Well, There you go, Mr. Cook. Enjoy your prison turkey if you get it. Yeah. Thank God, the cops. Okay. And nothing quite as good. You know, deer hunting doesn't suck, but there's nothing like the hunting of men and. Or armed men. And men who do that kind of hunting and grow to like it soon care for little else. That's a Ernest Hemingway right to by Woody. The way of Woody.

[Cindy Overton]

Woody Overton.

[Woody Overton]

But guess what I'm gonna do? I'm about to shock you.

[Podcast Sponsor/Promo Voice]

Hey, y', all, I want to take a moment to recommend another podcast called Mind of a Monster, the Killer Nurse. Mind of a Monster is a podcast series from ID that dives into the minds of notorious serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and more. This season, they explore the chilling story of Kristen Gilbert, a nurse who murders four of her patients between 1989 and 1995 and is suspected of killing dozens more. Criminal psychologist Dr. Michelle Ward takes us inside Kristen's twisted mind, uncovering why she kills and how she manages to do it right in front of her colleagues. The entire season is out now, so you can binge it wherever you get your podcast. And coming up next, they're covering Israel.

[Podcast Sponsor/Promo Voice]

Listen to A Mind of a Monster the Killer Nurse wherever you get your podcasts. You know folks talk a whole lot about women's hormones, but hardly anybody explains what that actually means for them. Most women end up confused, overwhelmed and not sure what to do next. And as we head into the holidays, nobody needs more confusion piled on top of everything else. I've watched Cindy deal with this herself. You hear people say your health starts in your gut, but for women it really starts with their hormones. When those levels aren't what they should be, everything just feels a little off. Your energy, your comfort, your mild mood shifts, even how steady you feel day to day.

Every ingredient is chosen based on scientific evidence and proven effective in clinical studies for women of all different ages and hormone profiles so you can feel your best through the holidays. Cindy's been taking Hormone Harmony and I've noticed a difference. She feels more balanced, more steady and more like herself. Even with everything going on with the shows, our travel and the holiday rush, it's a real game changer for women who want science backed support that brings comfort, clarity, consistent energy, confidence and an overall sense of well being. Happy Mamma, the company behind Hormone Harmony has zero compromise policy. No GMOs, no artificial fillers, no artificial flavors, nothing unnecessary. Only science backed ingredients in clinically proven amounts. Then They've helped over 2.4 million women feel more like themselves again, even after years of feeling off. They surveyed 1831 women who tried Hormone Harmony and the Results were incredible. 86% noticed easier weight management, 77% said it supported their mood and overall well being and 100% said they were feeling like themselves again. What makes Hormone Harmony stand out is that it supports multiple hormone imbalances at the same time, creating a wave of benefits throughout the body, from more steady energy to a better overall mood to reduce occasional bloating and greater daily comfort. And the reviews don't lie. Over 50,000 women are talking about better energy, deeper sleep, feeling more balanced and calm, reduced occasional bloating and easier weight management alongside a healthy lifestyle. That's the kind of gift any woman deserves. Heading into the new year, this holiday season, give yourself or the woman in your life the gift of wellness.

[Woody Overton]

Do the laundry in our house.

[Podcast Sponsor/Promo Voice]

But even I noticed something changed with our detergent. One day I pulled out a shirt and just smelled fresh and not like chemicals, it just smelt clean. Turns out Cindy switched us over to Earth Breeze. Instead of those big heavy jugs or messy pods, it's these little pre measured sheets that come in a slim sleeve, doesn't take up any space and you just toss one right in the washer. What surprised me is how good the clothes came out. Clean, soft and fresh without that harsh chemical smell I was used to.

[Woody Overton]

You know, sometimes report on things that are a bit shocking to my senses and they just really just burn my ass. But not murders and right how people act. You know what's happening this time of the year?

[Cindy Overton]

A lot, a lot of crimes. I mean robberies and I mean. Oh, traveling.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. This is a planes transit.

[Cindy Overton]

I didn't know what. I don't get to see what buttons you press.

[Woody Overton]

Okay. It says planes, trains and automobiles. So yes, a lot of traveling, a lot of people getting on planes going places, airports, busy af. I've had travel Christmas time before. It sucks and it's just the way that it is. But you can't fix assholes. And there's always somebody who's going to take advantage of the situation. And guess what? You've not heard the story yet. Okay, so this not the one that got lost in space this morning. This, this is just. It does.

[Podcast Sponsor/Promo Voice]

I shouldn't say that.

[Woody Overton]

It shocks me because nothing about. I know there's assholes in the world and they're going to, you know, they're going to take advantage of situations but you ever heard of Jetway Jes.

[Cindy Overton]

Jetway Jesus.

[Woody Overton]

Jetway Jesus or miracle flights?

[Cindy Overton]

No.

[Woody Overton]

All right, well let me tell you all about them. And because it's all over social media, Jetway Jesus and miracle flights occurrences, accusing more and more airline passengers, scamming the travel system by.

[Cindy Overton]

I'm not. I mean, I know that they say they're going like to a huge. Like they say they're going from like Atlanta to New York. But then there's the layover, Virginia. And they get off, and it's a cheap flight, and they go get it off in Virginia.

[Woody Overton]

That is a. That is a crime, too. Or. Or a hole in the system. But this. They are accusing more and more airline passengers of scamming the travel system by using wheelchairs to dodge lines and board planes early. Then it's a miracle. Jesus. Because they walk off the planes unassisted once they land their destination.

[Cindy Overton]

There's a lot of that at Disney World.

[Woody Overton]

That is such crock of shit, and I'll tell you why in a minute. But they. In the Today I Learned form on Reddit, one user detailed the way miracle flights appear to be working lately. Quotations. People fake mobility issues, arrive at the board and gate in wheelchairs, and then they secure better treatment and better seats. The person added, once the flight is over, these travelers leave the plane unassisted and they don't need wheelchairs. And in effect, the flights have miraculously cure these people.

[Cindy Overton]

I mean, price. I'm so glad they're healed.

[Woody Overton]

One user openly admitted, I have my grandma wheeled around, and when I take her to the airport so she doesn't get lost on their way to gate, no mobility issues whatsoever. Why? That's not a problem. That is mobility. It's a mental mobility issue. You don't want to lose it. I mean, my mother refuses.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

To use them. And she's like 84. And, and I mean, actually has it. I mean, they. They like offering her. I mean, she. She could, but she's like, no, I'm gonna walk it.

[Cindy Overton]

That's right.

[Woody Overton]

Right. And so another person said, this is just corporate propaganda against Americans with Disabilities Act. And a different person claimed, and the airline told me that when connecting o' Hara and Chicago, when you have to travel a long distance, short amount of time, you should just ask for a wheelchair.

[Podcast Sponsor/Promo Voice]

If I could tell you every time.

[Woody Overton]

I got off a plane when I was traveling every day for a year and something every day, and I had to go from these airports five miles long. You got to catch trains and da, da, da, da, man. I guess I should have just said, put me on one of those speedy carts. You know, my leg is broken or whatever. And another user says, obviously, some people are committing fraud. Some people can walk, but only with a cane or with significant issues. Now, airlines have recorded a 30% yearly increase in wheelchair assistance requested bigger airports. According to the International Transportation Agency, which is a trade group that represents airlines around the world, they said that considerable increase in wheelchair assistant requests is a key issue for the aviation industry, the organization noted in a recent memo. To understand the scale of the problem of IATA is looking at the issues through surveys and studies now. As noted, the requests are more prevalent in specific geographics like flights from India to the United States and the United Arabs to Europe. It is also said that many assistance requests may come from passengers who do not have physical disabilities but do not feel confident navigating a busy airport or people who need directional assistance for whatever reason, including age. Gary Luff is a Texas based travel industry expert and author of the blog View from the Wing. Told Fox News that boarding early may get you access to a better seat on board depending on the airline. He added, there are so many con contract workers assisting with wheelchairs at each airport, so frivolous requests hurt those with a real need. He said that those passengers find themselves waiting longer to deplane or waiting on the jet bridge for wheelchair to show up until the real people who need it, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So major airlines such as JetBlue, Delta and America allow passengers to request wheelchairs while booking flights. The like. They reached out to a bunch of different airlines and like United didn't respond. Or a spokesperson for United did respond. A bunch of them didn't respond. They said no, we do not require a doctor's note or any other proof of disability. What they require is a shred of human decency and you not to be a lying so the Wall Street Journal, in a piece this week about the issue, quoted a passenger who said his recent flight was delayed when 25 wheelchair passengers held up the board and price. That's crazy, I'm telling you. The passenger, Carlos Gomez said he sees more wheelchair fraud each time he travels. He said it makes an already hectic experience of flying even slower. Many travelers are bemoaning the rise of able bodied passengers who game the system to skip lines and this, you know, talking about the Jetway Jesus. So when passengers walk off the plane at their destination requiring no assistance at all after they were wheeled on board, they said that's some good healing right there, right? Jetway Jesus. Let me tell you something piss me off. Look, I didn't write tickets and I just didn't do it because you know I speed and like that but I just didn't believe in it. But I stopped more people than anybody else. But if I pulled up or I got dispatched a call and I'll and it could, they'll call it in quick hundred a heartbeat. A handicapped person saying look, this person parked in a handicap And I. And they don't have a tag. You get there. This person's in a wheelchair. So I get dispatched to, you know, whatever person parked in a handicap. It doesn't belong there. And I would go in. I'd block their. In and wait for them to come out of the store. And the. The one time I had it. And this. I think I've told this story before, that the complaint was there. And they're literally in a wheelchair. In a wheelchair van, right? So I get the guy out. If I had to dig through my trunk to find my ticket book. And the guy comes out, what are you doing? Why are you part. I said, are you handicapped? No, I'm not. Let's turn a reindeer outside the Amazon. Or somebody pulled up again. So y' all bear with that for a second, but let me finish my story. The. And the guy's like, well, no, I don't. I don't have one. But I was busy, and I need to run it quick. I said, okay, well, give me your. And it took me forever to write tickets because my handwriting sucks. It wasn't computerized back then. And I wrote him a big old expensive ass ticket and went to give to him, and he wanted to give me lip. I said, look, homie, you really don't want to piss me off any more than I already am. He said, you can't say pissed off. Your police officer said, no, you pissed me off, and now you're about to. That. I'm about to take the ticket back, and you can go to jail. And the person that was in the wheelchair told the guy said, you know what? I hate that you got a ticket. He said, but I. May I make a deal with you? And the guy said, why? He said, I will trade you my legs for your legs for my handicap ticket, and you can park in a handicap anytime you want when you can't walk, motherfucker. Yeah, right. Say, don't be a. That's, like, in a thief category for me.

[Cindy Overton]

No, it is.

[Podcast Sponsor/Promo Voice]

People need it.

[Woody Overton]

I'm telling y', all, on my honor, I do not do that. I've never done it.

[Cindy Overton]

Not even if I run in the store and you're waiting for me to come out.

[Podcast Sponsor/Promo Voice]

I wouldn't make. If you could drop a bomb on.

[Woody Overton]

A parking lot, not hit a car. I'm not parking in the handicap. If there's a hundred handicap spaces, I'm not doing it.

[Podcast Sponsor/Promo Voice]

I'm sure one day I'm going to need that.

[Woody Overton]

And it is what it is.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Merry Christmas. Don't be a Scrooge.

[Cindy Overton]

I know somebody one time, and I'm not going to say who it is, but they were on a plane and they were sitting in a middle seat and they really wanted an aisle seat. And they were coming from Houston going into Baton Rouge, and they said that they were coming from Houston for having cancer treatment.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, fuck that.

[Cindy Overton]

So that they could get again. I'm just saying. Asshole. Like, I mean, what kind of person does that?

[Woody Overton]

The wrong kind.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly. Well, we got another A hole, but this a hole is going to be behind bars for the rest of his Life. On Thursday, December 18, an Arizona jury delivered a death sentence for a man named clefas Emanuel Cooksey Jr. What did.

[Woody Overton]

This fine gentleman do?

[Cindy Overton]

Well, he went on a deadly string of shootings that scared pretty much everyone in Phoenix metropolitan area over a three week period in 2017.

[Woody Overton]

But he's a serial killer. So it's not just shooting, it's a murdering spree.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, at that time it was. It's a murder, yes, it's a murdering spree. Cooksey has been found guilty of. Cooksey had been found guilty earlier in 2025 on eight counts of first degree murder and numerous related felonies, including kidnapping, armed robbery, and attempted sexual assault. And they're all tied to what, at the time that all of this was happening was a series of random attacks. It seemed as if they were all random. So the crimes occurred between November 27th and December 17th of 2017. I'm going to just go through what happened. So on November 27, Andrew Rimond, who was 27 years old, and Parker Smith, who was 21, were found shot to death inside of a parked car. On December 2nd of 2017, Salem Richards, who is 31, was shot and killed while walking in West Phoenix. Then between December 13th and December 16th of 2017, additional victims, including Latory Beckford and Christopher Cameron, were shot in separate incidents. And then the body of Maria Villanueva, who was 43 years old, was found in an alley. And then on December 17th of 2017, police were responding to a gunfire report and they found Renee Cooksey, who was 56 years old, and her husband, Edward Nunn, who was 54, who happened to be Cooksey's mother and stepfather, both shot to death. So investigators ultimately linked Cooksey to the multiple crime scenes through forensic evidence. And the forensic evidence included, of course, DNA and items belonging to victims found in his mother's home. And at the time of his arrest, Cooksey was actually wearing a necklace that belonged to one of his victims.

[Woody Overton]

Trophies.

[Cindy Overton]

And then there was other physical evidence that tied him to the attacks. So despite his convictions, the jury was actually unable to unanimously agree to the death penalty for the murder of his mother and stepfather.

[Woody Overton]

Hey, you only need one death penalty conviction. He got six.

[Cindy Overton]

And they sentenced him.

[Woody Overton]

How many times can you kill him?

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly.

[Mint Mobile Ad Voice]

So.

[Cindy Overton]

They sentenced him to death for six of the eight murder counts, with the possibility that prosecutors could seek another sentencing phase for the remaining two or allow a judge to impose a life sentence in those counts.

[Woody Overton]

Just impose it. He's going to ride the needle either way.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell, when announcing the verdict, said the severity and senseless nature of Cooksey's crimes made the death penalty appropriate.

[Woody Overton]

You killed a lot of people. It's appropriate.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Ruined a lot of things forever for everyone. It's appropriate.

[Podcast Sponsor/Promo Voice]

You know, there was a stretch where I just couldn't figure out why I felt so drained all the time. No matter how much I slept, I was exhausted, foggy, and even little things like keeping my focus felt harder than they should. I brushed it off thinking it was.

[Woody Overton]

Just stress or being busy, but it.

[Woody Overton]

All right. We going on a. It's time for worldwide crime. Tis the season for the bodies to hit the ground. Going to Africa.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

Johannesburg. And on December 21, in Johannesburg, South Africa, at least nine people were killed and multiple others injured in a shooting at a bar in Johannesburg, South Africa on Sunday, December 21. The mass shooting is believed to have been a random attack. Local police have launched a manhunt to find 12 suspects involved.

[Cindy Overton]

Wow.

[Woody Overton]

Right? I mean, just. Yeah. What the. At least nine people have been killed and 10 others injured and shortly before 1am local time on Sunday that on December 21 the gunman in two vehicles began to shoot randomly towards patrons at a licensed bar in Johannesburg. This according to South African Police Service or saps. SAT spokesperson Brig Althenda said the exact location was the Quad Naxola Tavern in the Tumbo section of Becker Style. In an estimated 12 unknown suspects were involved in the incident and fled the scene in a white cumby and a silver sedan. So six in each probably right. Nine people are dead SAPS confirmed and the victims include five people at the tavern, three people on the street outside and another pedestrian said after at least 10 others were rushed to the hospital after being injured in the incident. In quotations the police have mobilized all the necessary resources including forensic crime scene management and crime intelligence and the motive for the investigate shooting will be turned by the investigation. Amid the ongoing search for the shooters. The deputy Provincial Police Commissioner, Major Fred Kakana described the incident as unprovoked and added that those involved were armed with pistols and one with an AK47. Big machine gun, y'. All. He said the poor patrons were just enjoying themselves when people came and shot. And among the victims was also a taxi driver who had dropped off a passenger in the area. This incident comes after three gunmen randomly shot at people at a hostel bar in South Africa on December 6. Ten people died at the same and two others died in the hospital. And among the victims were minors, a 3 year old boy, a 12 year old boy and a 16 year old girl. So it's worldwide. Bodies dropping on the ground. Tis the season. And hey, you know what? When we have these special seasons there's angels like the people, like the troopers given the St. Jude's and you know, people carrying and doing these special things, toys for tots and all that. And on the other end of the spectrum it's people who are without the okay 47 drive down to the corner bar and just blow everybody away. Yeah, them. Yeah, right. So anyway, there you have it. They'll get them.

[Cindy Overton]

They will. Prayers to all those people. That's horrible.

[Woody Overton]

It's time for effed up professionals.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, I have a crazy disgusting story. In Snailville, Georgia, there's a mom of four who's actually filed a lawsuit against her landlord because she discovered fecal matter being blown into her home through the heating system. And this has gone on for over a year. And it's.

[Woody Overton]

I'm pretty sure I can move out and find another place to live there.

[Cindy Overton]

Were having unresolved suing issues according to her court filings. Sewer. Sorry, yeah, sewage issues. According to the court filings, the plaintiff is Tierra Logan. Well, she rented a single family home in Gwinnett county, which is east of Atlanta. And she says that the problems began in June of 2024 when she noticed a strong sewage odor and reoccurring plumbing issues inside the residence. And over the next several months, she submitted multiple maintenance requests to the property owner and management company. She also reported the persistent smells, sewage backups and concerns over family's health. And according to Logan, the issues were never fully addressed. Some contractors notes later uploaded to the property maintenance portal indicated that a clogged septic tank outside the home had caused sewage to back up into the H vac system. And the contamination was classified as category three water. And that's the most severe level, which includes fecal matter and harmful pathogens.

[Woody Overton]

I don't understand. Somebody shits and been shitting in your vents. Obviously there's a leak in a pipe or something. Otherwise there's a human being living in your H vac system shitting and pissing. Yeah, and she should have called the cops, had them come out and be like, check my H vac system. And you smell the. And then she would at least had it written down by law enforcement who could be called to testify in the civil case. Yeah, because. And I get it, I shouldn't say what I said because a lot of people just can't afford to pick up and move. And I get that. And those people for not addressing the issue. And I hope to. I hope she gets a billion dollars out of them. Right, right. So there you. I mean, don't get it, don't understand. It's time for family matters. It's time to make Cindy cry. Time. Going to South Carolina. Oh, mama. Lady named Jamie Michelle Bradley, Bradley Brun, who's 40 years old. Oh, this is going to make you sick in so many different ways. She's going to prison. And she pled guilty to murder and was sentenced to 50 years in prison on Thursday. This according to the 14th Circuit Solicitor's Office, Deputy solicitor Mary Jones, who stated. Here comes tears. That on May 19, 2023, Bradley Braun told her six year old daughter McKay, take off your clothes, which police describe as a funeral dress. Get in the bathtub, fill it with water. And this in quotations. Get on her knees. As the little girl fought back, her mother grabbed her by the hair and forced her under the water and held her until she drowned. Well, she kills a six year old, drowns her. Ms. Bradley Braun then she goes and woke up her eight year old daughter and told her take off your clothes and get in the bathtub. And she was going to repeat the process. But guess what? The six year old fought but this girl also fought against her mom. And then Bradley Brown's oldest daughter heard her sister screaming and rushed in the room to intervene. Thank God somebody called 911 and deputies responded after midnight on May 19th of 2023 and they to report of a woman trying to drown her children in. When deputies arrived, they found McKay deceased. The six year old wearing what Jones described in her press release as her funeral dress. She surmandered get naked, get in a tub, hold you down, drown you. Then she took her out and dressed her in her funeral dress. Yeah, Cindy's crying. So Joan says this wasn't an accident or mental health crisis, that Bradley Brun planned it. According to Jones, Bradley Braun was competent despite claiming her alcoholism and other people were responsible for her actions. Jones said she held her daughter under the water and tried to do the same to her male daughter. There is no excuse. Bradley Braun pled guilty to both murder and attempted murder charges. And she's like, oh, she only got 50 years and 30 years for the attempted murder charge to serve concurrently. She got 80 basically and she'll die in prison. South Carolina, please, please, please. Yes, they have it. It's on moratorium. Even though obviously they didn't go for it. But hey, all you lifers in the female prisons in South Carolina when this Ms. Bradley Braun, she's 40 years old, Jamie Michelle Bradley Brun comes in. You remember she made that six year old strip naked, get in the tub six year old fall and she held her head down to. She drowned her. And then she dressed her in a funeral dress then got the other one to kill this eight year old. She's gonna kill the whole family.

[Cindy Overton]

Two wise.

[Woody Overton]

I'm calling for inmate justice. So 80 years. I hope y' all give her 80 years of pure hell. There you have it. Great to make you cry today. I'm glad I got. Glad I got to do that.

[Cindy Overton]

Should be a crime.

[Woody Overton]

I don't like to make you cry. This last thing I want to do is make you cry. But this is true crime time for and I'm Woody Overton. I'm Cindy Overton and I got nothing else. I'm getting dagger eyes here like holes in the wal. And so we'll end.
