Woody Overton
Hello everybody and welcome to this episode of True Crime. Time for Wednesday, February 11, 2026. And I'm Woody Overton. Back in the saddle again. And I'm doing it without sin again. Next week we'll be back to our regular joint broadcast and if you will. And I'm going to be starting a new story. It's just a really messed up case and it needs. The story needs to be told and I'm going to have the family member on and let them tell them. And we have the whole case file, et cetera. So y' all stay tuned for that. And on this day, February 11th in 2010, 30 year old Jennifer Daughtery's body was discovered in a garbage can in a school parking lot. She was mentally disabled and functioned at the level of a child. Robert Master, Ricky Smyrns, Melvin Knight, Amber Mettinger, Peggy Miller and Angela Marnussi ambushed Daughtery when she arrived for what she thought was a sleepover. She was beaten with multiple items, forced to drink detergent and urine. She was raped, stabbed, and then choked to death. Mettinger, Miller and Masters pled guilty while Marinucci, Knight and Smyrns were found guilty in trial and convicted for the horrific murder known this day 16 years ago. And in crime. So there you have it, crying through time and crime that's happening now. So now I love and appreciate each every one of y'. All. Hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for AO. As always, please continue calling your tips 313RLRC TIP. I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt things are happening but just can't tell you what. And when I can tell you what, I'll be doing another episode on it so it doesn't get screwed up by whomever and we'll just leave it at that. So hashtag just for Haley, y'. All. We are like at six grand I think on the GoFundMe for Ms. Barbara Johnson to hire the evidence room. And we're the 4000 away y'. All. If you can give donate anything. If not, please share it and so we can get this get try to get justice for Haley. I mean we know Brooks murderer. It's just getting the DA to move forward which they won't do and they said unless they had more scientific proof and they won't go out and get it themselves. So we're going to do it for them. All right, let's just roll with some beautiful bean footage going out to Missouri and they said a kind hearted father of three was gunned down by a female hitchhiker he picked up to take to a warm and shelter. And this according to the cops. You know, when I was young people hitchhiked all the time. I've picked up hitchhikers before, right in I tell a story about Easter Sunday. I picked up the guy in his white shrimp boots at the base of the Mississippi river bridge. And and once he, he got left on a down in Florida his boat tied up for the night, he went and got drunk and they left him because he missed the boat. Right. So he hitchhiked all the way to there and I picked him up, took across the bridge and I got off on the exit other side and let him out because he stunk so bad. But the, you know, it's really not the time and date that you want to be doing this and I'm this, this story will prove to you why. So Brittany river, who's 36, is accused of fatally shooting William Palmer and then stealing his truck after he stopped to offer her a ride in St. Louis, Missouri in the early hours of Sunday Now, Palmer had initially been with a friend when he picked up river, but the pal was so alarmed by the hitchhiker's behavior, he was like, just drop me off. I'm getting out. So Rivori was who was convicted in 2024 for tampering with a motor vehicle, then shot the driver in the head before driving the vehicle several blocks and abandoned it. It's crazy. Then she hits the ride with another unsuspecting driver. It before the cops arrested her and said it's not immediately clear what sparked the deadly shooting, but Palmer's family said he often helped out strangers. I mean, I guess trying to be nice. They said, as far as we know, she asked him at a gas station to take her to a warming shelter because she was cold. And this coroner, Palmer's fiance, Brianne Jones. So for somebody to take him for granted when all he was doing was helping her and then to do it, basically to take his truck, I can't wrap my head around it. Now, the victim's family said Palmer, who was out collecting scrap metal when he was killed, he was. He. He was known for offering rides to strangers, right? Quotations. I used to tell him all the time not to pick people up off the side of the road anymore. He did a lot. If he saw someone walking, he was picking them up and taking them as far as he could. Well, Rivera was hit with a slew of charges, including first degree murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, armed criminal action, and first degree tampering with a motor vehicle. And she remains in jail without bond. And I hate. I'm not. Not victim shaming that guy, y'. All, it's just so, you know, you don't know who the hell you're dealing with in this crazy ass world today, right? The. I just don't. It's just not safe, obviously, right? We're gonna go out, we'll come back to Louisiana and a place y' all heard me talk about often over the years, the infamous Angola Prison. Well, to get sentenced to Angola, generally you have to have at least 80 years or more. That's the general criteria, but most of them are up there for life. Plus, I think out of like 5,200 inmates, you know, over 4,000 are doing multiple life sentences. Well, let me tell you what happened. Prison is not a nice place, y'. All, and you don't want to go there for whatever reason. But then you're locked in with all the other people who've been arrested, busted, and convicted for not being nice. And this happens, we start with an.

WBRZ Investigative Reporter
Update from the WBRZ investigative unit. State prison officials say inmate and Angola was stabbed by another inmate. 35 year old Jonathan Robertson was found dead in his cell yesterday. He was serving a 75 year sentence for an armed robbery that left two women dead off Boone Avenue in 2015. 49 year old Melvin Lopez is accused of murdering Robertson. He's serving a life sentence for secondary murder. It's not clear what led to the stabbing.
- [09:09]
Woody Overton
And there you have it, right? So you go to Angola and hard times, hard time. And the hardest of the time is you're in there with the worst of the worst. And if you get out breathing, well, most of them aren't, most of them are going to die there. But if you do get out of breathing, you're lucky, right? So, and again, I was going to go do some consulting on a case on the guy that's up there for life and I had to do an approval process letter to, to be able to get in and interview him. And, and they denied it, they denied me access to the prison saying that they couldn't keep me safe. And I get that. So I just, otherwise I'm never going to Angola because I have too many people up there that are going to die there. So for the bullshit that they did. All right, let's do a. It's time for family matters. Well, you know, if you're married or in a relationship, you know, sometimes you're going to get in arguments with your significant others. Certainly Cindy and I have ours and everybody has theirs and it is what it is. It's just part of being in a relationship. Right. Well then assert sin. And I argue it's, it's not violent. We don't put our hands on each other and stuff like that. And, and they stay mad for a few minutes and then make up or what have you. Myth is your own or whatever. But some people take it to the far extreme. And I'm going to tell you about a vengeful wife who took matters into her own hands when she suspected her husband was having an affair. Well, you know what she did? She sliced off her husband's genitals and then she flushed them down the toilet. And this according to RadarOnline.com so, however, and this is crazy, the victim stood by his wife and asked the court to cut her some slack when sentencing her. I'm pretty sure if you cut my, my junk off, I'm not asking for leniency, but each his own. So according to the local reports, a 50 year old man drinking alone at a coffee shop in South Korea fell asleep. And that's when his 58 year old wife and her 40 year old son in law rushed in and tied him up with rope and industrial tape. The woman, the wife then stabbed her husband around 50 times, y', all, 50 times. And then she used a sharp weapon to sever his manhood, pilfer his package. Basically cut off his penis and his balls and flush it down the cafe toilet. And because of the damage she calls it, said there was no way his junk could be reattached, especially since it was down the toilet. So the emergency responders later found him and rushed into the hospital where he underwent surgery. And magically he survived, though he was left with lasting physical and psychological injuries. You think. But before her formal sentence last week, the husband asked the court not to go hard on her. And guess what? His plea for leniency. Leniency was apparently taken into account when she only got seven years in prison, y', all. Seven years. And her son in law got four years for his role. I mean it's just absolutely crazy. It reminds you Lorena Bobbitt, if y' all Remember back in 1993, she cut off John Way with John Wayne Bobbitt's penis, her husband's penis. And once he fell asleep, like that's okay baby, why don't you just go to sleep and. But they, they were actually able to reattach his. And I think he even did a porno one time after that. Like he was kind of famous for it, you know. I don't. Pretty sure I wouldn't be asking for any leniency and I wouldn't damn sure would be asked for a divorce and a no contact order. But it happens. It happens. So all right, we're going to come back to Louisiana again and give you foreign. I was attached to a, at the Louisiana State Police. This was probably one of the most common things that they got cops on. And it's really ridiculous, but I guess, you know, they push the limits and sometimes their supervisors don't check their timesheets and all that. But eventually it catches up to you. But we're going into the great city of New Orleans and let me play this one for you.

Crime Watchdog
Burke put in for the excessive overtime that he didn't work. That is a betrayal of his oath of office. A crime watchdog says the payroll fraud arrest of NOPD Sergeant Henry Burke is a step toward accountability. The department arrested Burke this afternoon after.

A months long series of Fox 8 investigations into unchecked overtime. As Rob Kraeger reports. Our cameras caught Burke at home when his time card showed he was on the clock.
- [14:55]
Fox 8 Reporter Rob Kraeger
Fox 8 began looking into some of the NOPD's highest overtime earners. That included Sergeant Henry Burke, who made more than a quarter million dollars last year. Much of that through overtime pay. Our unchecked overtime investigation found Sergeant Burke spent time at home while his timesheet showed he was on the clock for the nopd. Now the NOPD accuses Burke of committing four counts of payroll fraud and six counts of injuring public records. Beginning in July last year, Fox 8 started an in depth investigation placing an undercover camera outside of the home of Sergeant Burke on four separate days. We found Burke at home while his timesheets indicated he was on the clock for the department. The department announced his arrest today and says he's been placed on suspension without pay.
- [15:41]
Crime Watchdog
This should be a matter of routine. When they find officers engaged in felonies, which payroll fraud is that, they should put them on suspension. Especially when they have such hard proof on those officers. And yes, an investigation should occur and they should look into it further. But in this case, with what you found, I think it's pretty clear cut and a suspension without pay should be the very first step they take.
- [16:06]
Fox 8 Reporter Rob Kraeger
Now, Burke wasn't the only officer who we found at home while timesheets indicated he was on the clock. Senior Police Officer Brandon Coleman, who tripled his base salary with overtime last year, also claimed on his timesheets to be at work when our camera showed him at home on at least three different days. The NOPD launched an investigation into both Burke and Coleman following our first report. Now it's unclear where the investigation into Coleman stands now, but once again the NOPD arrested Sergeant Henry Burke and suspended him without pay.

I'm going to be honest, when sleep's off, everything is off. And most of the stuff people recommend either doesn't work or leaves you feeling foggy the next morning. That's why I want to tell you about mood.com. mood is an online destination for federally legal hemp derived cannabis grown on small pesticides family run farms right here in the us. And yes, a lot of people don't realize this. It's completely legal to buy online and it ships discreetly straight to your door. Mood makes products for different moments and different vibes, Gummies, flower edibles, pre rolls and more. Whether you're trying to wind down, focus, relax or just shut your brain off at night, the one I keep coming back to is their Sleepy Time advanced gummies. These aren't about getting blasted. They're designed to help your mind slow down and your body relax so your sleep actually comes. And for most people it kicks in in just about 15 minutes. What makes them different is how Mood combines federally legal THC with other cannaboids and functional ingredients. So you're not just guessing how something's going to make you feel. It's intentional. And if gummies aren't your thing, Moody also has flour, pre rolls, bakery treats and beverages all built around how you want to feel. Not some one size fits all approach. Everything ships discreetly. No dispensary lines and no awkward conversations. Right now, first time buyers get 20% off their entire order, but only if you use our code. Go to mood.com and use code RLRC at checkout to save 20% off your first order. That's mood.com and promo code RLRC a well built wardrobe isn't about chasing trends. It's about having pieces that work together, feel good to wear and actually hold up over time. That's what Quint does best. Premium materials, thoughtful design and everyday staples that feel easy to rely on even as the weather starts to shift. Quint has all the everyday essentials I love with quality that lasts organic cotton sweaters, polos that work for just about any occasion, lighter jackets that keep you warm without feeling bulky. Then the list really does go on. Everything is designed to handle daily wear and still look good season after season. One of the reasons Quints can do this is because they work directly with the top factories and they cut out the middleman. That means you're not paying for brand markups, just well made clothing at a price that actually makes sense. And and they only partner with factories that meet rigorous standards for craftsmanship and ethical production. I'll be honest, I normally wouldn't spend money on cashmere, but the cashmere sweater I picked up from Quince completely changed my mind. It's ridiculously soft, comfortable and the price was so reasonable that I actually bought it without hesitation. It feels like something that should cost way more than it does, and it quickly became one of those pieces that I reach for all the time. Refresh your wardrobe with quince.

Quince.com RLRC I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, and I don't sit around making promises myself I'm not going to keep. But I do believe in starting the year doing things right. That means sleeping when I can, eating decent, staying active and paying attention when something feels off. And for a lot of people, especially women, feeling tired or foggy at the start of the year gets written off as stress or burnout. When low Iron can actually be part of the problem Iron deficiency affects one in three adults and the symptoms don't always jump out at you. It can show up as constant fatigue even when you're sleeping enough, brain fog or trouble concentrating, frequent headaches, irritability or brittle nails and hair breakage. When iron levels are low, your body has to work harder to deliver oxygen, and that can impact your energy, focus, mood and physical performance. An iron deficiency can exist long before anything turns into anemia, which means you can feel it well before it shows up on paper. That's why I recommend Sideroll from Pharman Nutra. Citarol is a premium iron supplement powered by the patented Sucrosomio technology. This technology helps your body absorb iron three to four times more effectively than standard iron supplements without the common stomach issues people complain about, like nausea and constipation. It's clinically proven to be comparable to IV iron and is made with just two main ingredients, 30 milligrams of sucrosomil, iron and vitamin C in a convenient once a day capsule. You can take any time, with or without food. Sideroll is backed by 20 years of research, 150 plus clinical studies, and is trusted by more than 2 million people worldwide. It's the number one supplement brand in Italy and is used in over 90 countries. If you're starting the year and you're still feeling tired or foggy despite doing the right things, you're not alone and this might be the support your body needs. Head to farminutra-us.com and use code RLRC for 10% off your first order of Citrol. That's P H A R M A N U T R a-us.com promo code RLRC. It's a new year for a lot of people.

You know y', all, it's so stupid and I remember one of the guys that did it was a friend of mine. He was a high ranking. I say high ranking but he had a decent rank and he actually was a polygraphers and the feds during the holidays they always give what they call laser. I think it's lasers. Whatever the overtime is they have allotted to for off duty officers to go out and work traffic and and DWIs and write tickets and like that. This guy, the, the kind of same thing they got him and he was saying that he was out on the interstate riding tickets, which he wasn't there and they got video of him at home. And you throw away your whole career and your, your reputation and, and everything else and then you have to get brought in. And you know what? It's not easy bringing in a, a, a friend of yours and saying hey bro, you know you turned in this. But it happened numerous times. You turn in this, you turn in this, you turn in that and we have video. You never left your house those days, you know, and then they're like okay, well I want a lawyer and I get that. But you throw away everything for what, four or five hundred dollars in overtime that didn't occur. Get up and go work it. It's time for effed up professionals. Okay, we're going out to Florida, people selling and taking advantage. You could be a cop, you could be whatever if you do it. Some people get away with it, I guess. But the doesn't matter what the position is. People did. We told you a story I think yesterday or the day before about a pastor, right, who's, who's stealing from people that were making donations for court fees and stuff. But now we're going out to Florida and guess what? In Florida they got a congresswoman who is in trouble. So I'm going to tell you about Republican sheila Sheriff List McCormick of Florida. And she's. They said she will plead not guilty Monday to federal charges of conspiring to steal $5 million in federal disaster funds amid the COVID 19 pandemic. And she funneled some of it into her congressional campaign. Now, her attorney, William Barzi, notified the court on his docket on the Florida congresswoman's plea and that she would waive her appearance at an arraignment set for Tuesday. She faces 15 counts that accuse her of keeping Federal Emergency Management Agency, or fema, funds that were overpaid to her family's health care company, which is Trinity Healthcare Services, for which, guess what, she was the CEO. Right. Chief Executive officer. Her prosecutors claim she and her brother Edwin received the funds in July of 2021 while their company was working on a FEMA funded staffing contract tied to the COVID 19 vaccinations. But instead of returning the money, the siblings routed through multiple accounts to disguise the source and keep it. That shows intent, right? The indictment against McCormick alleged that within two months of receiving the funds, more than 100,000 was spent to purchase a three carat yellow diamond ring for her. 100 fucking thousand dollars for a diamond ring for congresswoman. Well, the ring became the focus of renewed public attention late last year after it was edited out of a Christmas post that was shared to McCormick's X account bearing her official congressional portrait. Right. I'm pretty sure if you hide in the ring, you black it out again. That shows intent, right? So McCormick called the charges an unjust, baseless sham indictment when they were initially brought and she was ordered to post a $60,000 bond and surrender her passport. If convicted, the congresswoman could face more than 50 years in prison, though the first time offenders are rarely given the harshest sentence. Her brother, he get up to 35 years in prison. So they said. The Florida Democrat has also faced scrutiny from the Office of Congressional Ethics, which in June expanded its year long probe of whether she may have violated ethics rules by requesting earmarks for for a for profit entity, not a nonprofit. The House Ethics Committee released its report last week which said it found substantial reason to believe she violated several laws, regulations and standards of conduct as a member of Congress. The report said the panel's investigative subcommittee is bringing the charges against McCormick related to campaign finance law, regulations, criminal laws implicated by campaign finance misconduct, and the Ethics and Governance Act. Wow, she's in all kinds of shit, y'. All. The they're talking about expelling her and everything else. The that she used straw donors and sent the FEMA funds to friends and relatives prosecutors say then donated to the campaign as if it was their own money. I'm pretty sure if, if my bestie or my brother or somebody had a million dollars, they just gave it to me and then were like, donate it back to my campaign. I'd tell them to go fuck themselves. I wouldn't even do it for $100,000 off the top. But they guess what? You know, when the ship goes down, shit rolls downhill. Because the congresswoman's 2021 tax preparer, David Spencer, is also charged with conspiring to file a false federal fax return. And this dude faces up to 33 years in prison. So FEMA Flores, FEMA Division, sued Trinity Health Care Services over the overpayment in 2024, but the case was dismissed after the parties reached an agreement in mediation. Meaning like, yeah, you pay me back and we'll just let this go so the lawyers don't make all the money. So it just goes to show you, no matter who you are, everybody has to answer to someone, y'. All. It's just, just the fact that's the way it is. And I guess it's just going to be the theme for the day. It's time for Effed Up Professionals. We're going out to Kentucky, Highland Heights, Kentucky. And this dude's an attorney, a Northern Kentucky attorney, and he's also a Highland Heights council member, or he was because now his ass has been arrested. Highland Heights police said they started investigating Jesse Huckenberry, who's 32 on January 21, and he was arrested on a sexual abuse charge on Sunday. And. But police have not released any of the details of the charge. And Huckinberry is not currently listed on the Campbell County Jail website, which means he's already made bond. And that's a short one. But just goes to show you Council members, attorneys, congresswomen, whoever. Everybody has to answer to someone eventually. All right, let's see what we got next. All right, y', all, this next one, you know, our youngest son is like a genius on this game and stuff and all that, and he's building his own computers and, and all that, but he, I mean, he can do stuff on, on the gaming that's just. I can't even watch him play because it makes me motion sick. He's so fast. And he's actually been getting paid by one of the platforms since he was way younger in, in his teen years. They, they pay him what they call E bucks just to get online and play, to make the online game and I guess more challenging for other people. But they use a lot of pedophiles and use those platforms. Why? Because they're full of kids. Right? And I'm gonna tell you, a missing and endangered high school student who suddenly vanished after meeting a man on a gaming platform is feared to be dead. And cops thankfully have arrested him as part of their probe. So Indiana teen Haley Busby, who was 17, was last seen by her parents on January 5 and was initially considered a runaway before. Unfortunately, cops later said she left with a plan and was at risk. Busby was picked up by Tyler Thomas, who's 39, who she had met on an online gaming platform. And they said she likely died within a few days of her disappearance. And they announced this on February 1st. Now, a car linked to Thomas was seen in Busby's neighborhood and he admitted to picking her up. One of the investigators got him and questioned him. And it's according to the court docs and the local WSYX child sexual abuse material was found on Thomas's devices and he tried to delete the videos of the teen. Cops also honed in on Holmes linked to him houses. So the drones and canines and search teams combed a rental home in Hocking County, Ohio, after cops claimed they had evidence which suggested a Busby and Thomas were at the rental home together. Now, Thomas hasn't been charged with her murder, but has been arrested as part of the law enforcement probe which included the FBI kid across state lines. They said the FBI is committed to pursuing justice and holding those accountable for what they did in this court. Tim o', Malley, special agent is charged in Indianapolis. Said the the one ask I have for everyone is to be patient. As the investigation continues and the search for Haley continues, Thomas has been charged with pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor and is also accused of tampering with evidence and I'm pretty sure he's about to catch a death penalty charge. Haley's dad, Bo, described the teen as someone with a bright future. He said Haley was smart, beautiful, kind, and a caring young lady with a bright future. She had a deep love for her family and holds a very special place in so many hearts. And our family is devastated. That dude, I hope, I hope, I pray that, that they get her body back to the family so they can get some closure on at least burying her. Right, it's time for Effed Up Professionals. All right, y'. All, this was gonna be a tearjerker and Sydney would definitely be crying if she was in here. The oh man, this is so up. So they have two bus employees with the Hillsborough County School District and they face charges after the deputies say one of them struck an autistic child over a dozen times and the other one didn't say dick about it. So Juanita Wright, who's 79, and Tanya Rice Constant, 62, were both arrested Monday and it's according to Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. Now. The Investigation began on November 14 after a witness reported seeing a school bus aide striking a 10 year old child while they were parked at the Kaminiti Exceptional School. The child is diagnosed with autism and ADHD and is minimally verbal. Detectives reviewed video footage that showed Wright, the aide, repeatedly abusing the child. The video also captured Rice Constant, the bus driver, laughing during the abuse. I I wish, I wish they had let the family members have these bitches in a room alone with no cameras for about 10 minutes. But on Dec. 23, the Texas reviewed more footage and identified 13 additional days between Oct. 2 and Nov. 14 in which Wright was seen abusing the child. Thirteen more days, like the highlight of Rights Day, is abusing this autistic child. And they said, unfortunately, the system only captures 30 days. According to Share Chad Chronister this episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. February has a way of making it feel like everyone has their love life figured out. Everywhere you look, it's flowers and candy and big gestures and a lot of talk about relationships. And whether you're married, dating, single or just focus on yourself right now, the truth is, most of us are still figuring it out as we go. No matter where you're at in your romantic journey, you're right on time. Therapy can help you find your way, help you get clear on what you want, what feels heavy and where you might be putting too much pressure on yourself. A lot of what weighs us down in relationships isn't always obvious until we slow down and really look at it. BetterHelp makes it easier to take that step.

Mackenzie (GoFundMe Organizer)
See Terms My name is Mackenzie and I started to go fund me for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis and we raised about $10,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by 10 telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed. We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

Confident that the abuse carried on well before the 30 days that we were able to capture. And I am too. Right. Faces 14 counts of child abuse and the driver Rice Constant faces one count of failure to report child abuse. And records show both were released from jail after posting a $70,000 bond for right. And the dress bus driver only had to post a $2,500 bond. Chron said right. Who was hired by a school district in 2013, was suspended with pay. That's vacation. And Rice Constant, who was hired in 1997, retired at the beginning of the investigation. I want to save that pension, huh? They said this, this child had no voice and was unable to take any action. And in this case we became his voice and we took the appropriate action. That's according to sheriff. Thank you, sheriff. I'm glad y'. All. I'm glad y' all made it stop because that baby would still be getting abused. Child abusers, man, I'd much rather deal with a murderer. It's time for family matters. And I said I'd much rather deal with murder unless it's a murderer or murderers like these idiots. And this going to Topeka and I believe that's in Kansas, right. Two family members have been arrested in Topeka, Kansas due to their connection to the death of a five year old girl. The Topeka police department confirmed to Us weekly that officers responded to a medical call in the 500 block of Southwest Buchanan street on Tuesday, January 27th. Now when they got there, the officers found a five year old girl who was suffering life threatening injuries. They transported her to by amr. I guess that's airmed a local hospital where she later died from her injuries. Her exact cause of death has not yet been revealed, but the girl's family members, Leah Corbin and Kyle Valley were then arrested and booked into the SH County County Department of Corrections on charges of first degree murder. I got to look at Kansas real quick. Kansas, Kansas, do you have it? Yes. Kansas has the death penalty and these people deserve it. They were booked in on the charges of first degree murder, aggravated endangering of a child and abuse of a child. Now, an investigation into the girl's death is ongoing and police have not shared any additional information about the victim's theft or why Corbin and Valet were arrested. The police also confirmed that both Corbin and Valet are related to the victim and the three of them lived in the same residence. Jeez Louise. Corbin was booked into Shawna county jail at 1:55pm on Wednesday, January 28th. M. Valley was booked soon after 2:25pm they're both still in custody following their arrest. This is crazy, but here it is. In Kansas, those found guilty of first degree murder are often sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after a minimum of 25 years. But meanwhile, an aggravated endangering of a child charge is considered a felony and often leads to sentencing of 11 to 13 months of imprisonment. However, some people found guilty of the crime been given up to 18 months probation and they killed a 5 year old. You know, when the, when more of the charges come out and they tell how they murdered this baby who was still alive, so they, they murder her. Whenever I say that they murdered, she was murdered over a period of hours. To me that's the worst kind of. That's like the ones who are attacked and you know, stabbed and whatever and they go to the hospital and they live for a couple of days. To me that murder occurred from the time you first injured them until the time they took their last breath. It's a constant. That person is suffering. You know, they were murdered over a period of hours. They might as well just stood there and stabbed them for then, you know, this baby for the entire four or five hours that it took them to, to, for her to go to heaven. So. All right, I'm gonna play one that's. It'll should end. This should be a uplifting. It's uplifting for me. I'm sure most people won't get it. Let's see if I can play the video of the two people that's dead. I'm sorry that it ever happened. Let me turn back in time and do Something different to make things better. Now this guy's in a wheelchair. They're willing out of court. He just told the court he'd. He wishes he could do something different. All right, so let me tell you the story now. So going to New York City and this, this dude, what a piece of. So I just played on the video, he's in his wheelchair and he's old man now. And he's saying, I'm sorry if I could have done something different. Well, that didn't really sit well with the judge. And a Manhattan judge tore into a wheelchair bound creep who spent nearly three decades on the Lamb or the Run, y', all, before he was nabbed for the slayings of a Harlem mother and daughter. And the judge ripped him for not taking any responsibility. And this was Thursday. As the convicted killer whined, he'll die in prison. All right, I'm gonna die in prison. Well, you should. So they said. Ailing ex con Larry Atkinson, who's 67, predicted he has two years to live moments before Judge Drysdale sentenced him to 40 years to life behind bars for the killings of Sarah Roberts, who was 57, and her developmentally disabled daughter Sharon, who was 23. And they were found strangled to death inside the NYCHA's Grant Houses on February 20, way back in 1994. Now this dude in the wheelchair, he said, God be with them in heaven. And he was, he's. They said he's a slumping, cancer stricken. His name's Atkinson. And that's what he said of his two victims. And in the Manhattan Supreme Court. God be with them in heaven. Well, I'm pretty sure you not going to be there. Then he said, God be with me as well. I don't think I'll get past two years. And they said this low life, that's what he added in a hoarse whisper after briefly apologizing for the loss of lives of the two people that day. But the judge was like, fuck you, buddy. And was not swayed by his sudden apology. And judge says it's clear to this court that the defendant has not taken any responsibility for his actions in this case, despite the evidence of guilt. And they said the judge was given a fiery speech. Y', all, this is the first time that I've heard you be somewhat remorseful and say I'm sorry. After he was found guilty of murder in October, the cold blooded killer turned to the jury and see that he was going to find them and their families the you. And now you ask him for mercy and you're In a wheelchair. Then too, buddy, they found you guilty. And you tell them I'm will find you and your families. And the so years earlier, a home health aide who was dating Atkinson and also taking care of the of the elder Roberts, who suffered from emphysema, discovered the mom and the daughter dead with the mom's oxygen tube and a pair of leggings tied around Sharon's neck. Police found no evidence of force entry in the sixth floor apartment after they called 911. A cassette, video recorder and several hundred dollars in cash were also stolen. Right. So don't just murder these innocent people, you know, whatever. Investigators finally cracked the case of 2023 using new DNA technology that linked a cigarette butt and fingernail clippings from the crime scene to our Atkinson. The mother and daughter were remembered by family and as bringing light and warmth into their lives as they struggled for nearly 30 years searching for answers while living in the same housing complex where their kin were killed. So every day they got to look at the murder site. They said they were vulnerable individuals, of course. Shakina Simon, who's a granddaughter, Sarah Roberts. People who required care and protection. Instead, their lives were taken violently and senselessly. Now, our hero or anti hero in the story, Atkinson, he's got a laundry list, convictions that date back to 1977. He also attacked a 68 year old woman in 2005 as she slept in her apartment, punching her and wrapping her neck with a pair of stockings before threatening her with a knife as she followed him off. With a cane. With a cane, y'. All. So that's 2005. You're like 20 years pass where you killed these other people and you'd done nothing that was of Jesus in the meantime. Been to prison, get out. And then they take you to trial. Thank God for the DNA, like we say all the time. And they got you through the fingernail clippings and your cigarette butt probably. I'm pretty sure you would ask if you knew him. And you're like, wasn't me. Ever been in the apartment? Nope. No way. Guess what? Mfr, we got you now, right? So everybody takes it to trial. Poor Mr. Innocent, me in the wheelchair, I got cancer, I got all this stuff and. But they find you guilty. And he turns to him, he says, I'm gonna find your family members and get them. Yeah, well, you know, I'm pretty sure you can find some other people that are of your character when you go to the gates of hell. All right, y'. All. I love and appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you for liking and listening and sharing and all that good podcast. Or I'm supposed to say, and we truly do love y'. All. We will be back to regular, regularly scheduled broadcasting. Hold on one second. Here's my once. One second. Here's my co host now. Sin, I was just closing out. You got anything to say? Well, no, I'm, I'm gonna edit out whatever I say, baby. Just say that. Thank you for liking listening and sharing. And she'll be back next week, y', all full time. And. And we also be starting in UK's next week, so. That's right. All right. I love and appreciate each and every one of y'. All. Thank you. And I'm Woody Overton, you host True Crime Time for this Wednesday, February 11, 2026. I'll holler at you later. Love you. Peace.
