Hello everybody and welcome to this episode of True Crime. Time for Wednesday, January 7th, 2026. And I'm Woody Overton rolling solo again on the mic today. Sin is busy, busy, busy, little B. Right, real quick before we get started. Hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for ao. Listen people, if I'm not responding, I'm not posting stuff, I'm not answering you. There's a reason. It's not because I'm not fully vested and involved. Like I said, I have been since the beginning. I just can't do it. Okay. And hopefully I'll explain more on the episode this week. But you know, the criminal conversations and, and Facebook page and all that. Stir it up all you want to. All right. I have to do at this point what I have to do. And you know, I saw a post today, national courting a little bit earlier post today that the state police took over Vernon Parish Sheriff's office and all that. Whatever the. Yeah, I haven't heard about that. But the stirring it up, keeping it working, keeping it, them, them being Bradley and Austin at the forefront of the discussion is the key thing. I continue to be sent messages and, and recordings and all kinds of stuff all hours of the day, every day. And you know, all this stuff has to be looked that, that I'm not saying don't send it. Please continue to call you tips 313RLRC tip. But you know, I can't hand over anything or, or say here I am beyond a reasonable doubt when you know, I have tons of other stuff that has to be looked at. So being work slowly sometimes, you know, you catch a dude with a smoking gun and sometimes you get a case that's six years, six years old when you got it right. That's the case on this one. And then it morphed into a second case being Austin's case. And you know, the wheels of justice turn just as fast as they want to turn and not a millimeter faster. And saying sometimes you like I said you can catch them with a smoking gun and sometimes it takes some time. In this case, you know, I don't build junk. I'm not going to do it half ass. I'm not going to rush anything and say oh here, look at this. Because they first of all they already know what I have. And in secondly there'll be well laughed out of the room because this, this, this and this hasn't happened. And not going to let that happen. So let's get on some true crime time for this first Wednesday of the new year and let's go to, let's go to prison. How about that? And we'll do a. It's time for effed up professionals. You know, you can get anything inside of prison that you can get on the outside. It just cost a hell of a lot more. And back in my day cell phones weren't an issue because no one had one, you know, unless you had a big bag phone and certainly weren't smuggling that in and they had nowhere to charge it, etc. But every week there's, yeah, I don't always report them but every week there's a new correctional officer that has been arrested and for guess what, trying to smuggle into the prison. Right? And so we're going to go to Angola, Louisiana and which is in West Luciana Paris and as y' all know it's the largest land based prison in the United States. And correction sergeant has been arrested. Okay now look, when you pull on to prison property they have big ass signs that say your vehicle and your person are subject to search at any time and they have search teams in Angola that, that, that's all they do. But I can guarantee anytime you hear about these arrests in the news of these dumb asses trying to smuggle stuff into inmates or convicts that they are in you somebody else, another convict, a snitch told you know, correctional officer on a download, they may have got an extra plate of fried chicken on Friday or something like that or whatever reason, but somebody ratted this person out. In in Westfalution parish on January 5. An Angola prison corrections sergeant has been arrested after a search led to the discovery of three cell phones in her vehicle which were deemed to be contraband. According to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections. The employee or former employee, Alicia, I don't know how to say it. A al say isha Bates, who's 24 years old is charged with malfeasance and office related to contraband. Y', all, malfeasance is something only a Cop can be charged with. Right. And the cell phones were found during a routine search at Louisiana State Police. That doesn't make sense. Should be Angola on December 21, 2025. And the officials added that the items were deemed as contraband, were turned over to the West Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office. And during investigation, officials said information was discovered on cell phones which led to a warrant being issued for Bates's arrest. Now when they arrest her, you know the. She voluntarily resigned her position. And the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola leaders issued a warning for anyone interested in violating the law while working at the prison. And they said contraband and inappropriated communication between staff and individuals who are incarcerated will not be tolerated. As Cordon Warden Darrell, IL all employees are held to a standard and are expected to follow guidelines when carrying out their duties as correctional professionals. So Bates was arrested by the West Luciana Parish Sheriff's Office on Monday, January 5th of 2026, y'. All. West Feliciano Sheriff's Office did the rest because it's an outside charge and that's the parish that Angola is located in. But you know, the, the, when you are a correctional officer, you're not even supposed to really even talk to the mates except for an official capacity like hey, you know, go to work or do this or whatever. So you think about the. Contact this correctional sergeant, this professional. Suppose, you know, she had to have to have the convict first of all to convince her to bring in three cell phones and make, make agreement on how much she was going to get paid and all that. And look, it happens every day. There's no doubt about it that, you know, if, if a thousand of them go to work every day, probably a hundred of them have something illegal they're smuggling in. It's just a law of supply and demand. And you know, correctional officers, they are professionals, are supposed to be professionals. This case is the effed up professional. But they don't make dick, y'. All, I mean, you know, and you're there and I used to say I was doing time. And you get locked in the doors with them for 12 hours a day at least. And you're doing time right along with the convicts. So all the weed, not all of it, but the majority of, especially at Angola. It's not like they can drive by Dixon Correctional and throw something over the fence. The, the majority of the stuff that gets into Angola gets smuggled in through correctional officers. And they even had like one dumb ass years ago and they showed us the X ray. When I went to the academy in Angola dude had a pistol shoved up his ass, right? And I mean how do you think that's going to work out? You're smuggling in a pistol to give to a convict you what do you think they're going to do with it, right? So that being said, that's enough of that. Well let me tell you about another little story and this will be a. It's time for family matters. You know being married certainly has its blessings and certainly has its rough spots and you get into your arguments and, and all that stuff, right? And the longer you're married the more you, I don't even say you get used to it but the more the little things can make you pop off and just ignorance and everything else but the. I'm 56 where I'm 55 about to be 56, Cindy's 54 about to be 55. We're going to California. I'm going to tell you about a couple. The husband was 93 years old and the wife was 86 years old okay? In the 93 year old California man is behind bars after I guess he had a little bit too much of the argon he gunned down his wife in a parking lot, shot her. Then guess what he did. He called the cops on himself. So Richard Hawking who's a non generian in Fremont called dispatchers and told him, he said hey I just pulled the trigger on my 86 year old spouse. And this was at 12:22am Saturday morning according to the Fremont police department. Now let me ask you this. The especially older lifers out there that married for a while I'm pretty sure you know my mother's in that demographic and my father, I mean wasn't in his 90s but they're not up at 12 to 12:22am in the morning unless they're trying to sneak something out of the refrigerator or something, right? Well they get the 911 call in, you know 90, 93 year old man just shot his 86 year old wife. I just shot my wife. So the officers haul ass to the fall 5000 block of Maui Avenue and they found him, the elderly suspect and the victim in the front passenger seat and she was unfortunately pronounced dead. Scene and cops secured the scene, they recovered a firearm from the vehicle and they took Hocking in the custody, cuffed him and stuffed him for homicide and a gun related enhancement to the charge of homicide. Now Hocking he didn't have any problem talking to the cops and he told the detectives in quotation said articulating the reason behind the incident. But they cut it off there and. And the cops haven't yet said exactly what else that he said. Right. And so it's a breaking story. But in 90, she was 86 and he's 93 of also y', all. This was the Fremont California's first homicide of 2026. Took a whopping 22 minutes for the first murder call to come in. And it was the 93 year old husband who shot his 86 year old wife. Figure it out. All right. I don't know. I guess that's whatever he gets is a death sentence. All right, we're going out to South Jersey. In South Jersey, the cops say Raymond Lewis Acevedo, who's 40 years old of Paulsboro shot a woman in the head at a home on Elizabeth Avenue. And they shot a second person and then he ran like a little. Well, you can run but you can't hide. And so the 40 year old man has been charged by Gloucester county prosecutor's office with the shooting death of a woman Saturday morning in Paulsboro. And of course, what I told you. Authorities say Raymond Lewis Acidovo of Hollisboro shot the woman in the head while she was at a home on Elizabeth Avenue. And then he shot a minor who fled. So Cedar was charged with first degree murder and second degree aggravated assault after the prosecutor's office said he called 911 on Saturday. During the call, the authorities alleged that C. Devo identified himself and said he shot both people. Just like the dude in California. Right. So cops respond, do what they do. They go in and they found an adult female dead in a bedroom at the home. Well, they also found the minor and he received medical treatment for a gunshot wound. Now, C. Devoe said in a statement to police that he intentionally shot the woman and escorted to the prosecutor's office. He then said he accidentally shot the second person after being startled while holding the handgun. Could happen, I guess, Yeah. I don't know. They don't say if it was the. The juvenile's mom or whatever. Actually, they don't say much else about it. You know, neither victim has been identified, but Acetabo, he faces a sentence of 30 years to life for the charge of first degree murder and 5 to 10 years for second degree AG assault and 5 to 10 years for possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. Well, Mr. Sivo, you can cancel 2026 and the rest of the years of your freedom. Right. There you have it. It's time for worldwide crime.

All right y', all, we're going to roll out to Brazil, but as American as you can get. McDonald's in Brazil. Let me play this, see if it plays. The stupidity knows no boundaries including territorial country wide, country wise. There he goes. Well, you obviously can't. Y' all can't hear but they, they had a fisticuffs and Brazil McDonald's and the, the, the worker and the customer were going back and forth and it just got really, really heated in this video. It's not funny, but it is kind of funny. There were, there were punches and shit being thrown, but this one guy jumps up and does a flying leg kick into the face of the McDonald's employee. I don't know exactly what happened. I was trying to share it. Hopefully they were going to give us more information, but they didn't. So just go to Brazil. It, it's McDonald's everywhere. We've been telling you about the McDonald's where they're locking their doors now. Now you gotta get buzzed in to get a French fry. That I guess it happens, right? All right, I'm gonna give you another. It's time for worldwide crime. Another worldwide crime and this one I have a little more details on. Okay, so we are going to tell you about 30, at least 30 people who were murdered and several others were abducted after gunmen raided a northern Nigerian village over the weekend. This court ABC News. Now this incident took place in the Kasung Daji village in Nigeria state Borgos local government area Saturday on January 3rd, gunman opened fire on residents demolishing several houses and the local market as according to the Nigeria state police spokesman Wasu abulun. At least two residents were among the 37 reported to be killed. This is as of Sunday Y on January 4th with officials claiming the death toll could be much higher as others remain missing. Residents also contradicted claims by police that security forces were present in the area at the time of the report. Now Reverend Stefan Cabriat who's spokesman for the Catholic Church of Conagora diocese where the incident took place told local media that more than 40 people were killed and some children were among the abducted victims. The gunman reported to have been lurking around nearby communities for about a week prior to the incident taking place. And it's according to a resident who wants to remain anonymous state BC News because it fears for safety and he said the bodies are there. If we don't see any security, how can we go there? The resident said claiming that the attack lasted up to three hours. Y' All. Can you imagine that people in your, in your neighborhood, guns blast and kidnapping people for up to three hours. Well, the incident is the latest among several in Nigeria, which is Africa's most populous country, right, where gangs have sought control over remote communities that have limited security and government presence. And more than 300 school children and teachers were kidnapped from a Catholic school in the nearby Pepperrit community in November, following a typical trend involving armed gangs in the area. I don't know. How in the fuck does this not make national news, right? I mean, we're going in and arresting the president of Venezuela or wherever the he's from for drug trafficking and all that in the. And we're doing other things, but then, you know, the Catholic Church and they don't put out unless they really, you know, witness it and all that. 40 people killed, children abducted. And in November, I mean, I don't even remember recovering the story. In November, more than 300 school children and teachers were kidnapped from the Catholic school. Damn, I must have been off that day. Maybe Cindy covered it. That's some crazy. And you think I don't know, I can speak for the Catholic Church? I don't know enough about it, but I'm pretty sure, I mean, I went to a Catholic school before I got kicked out when I was a kid and it was run by people that were employed by the diocese. The, the monks, the brothers. I'm pretty sure if they had all got kidnapped, maybe the Catholic Church can hire some mercenaries or something. I don't know. I don't know how we don't hear more about that. I guess it's because it's in Africa. So, all right, we'll go out to Florida. And this, this is just absolutely the reason we build prisons. And a Florida man is starting his year behind bars after he kidnapped an 11 year old boy at a campsite and tied him up with shoelaces and duct tape. Now, this investigation began on New Year's Eve when the Flagler County Sheriff's Office received a call about a sex offender who's been identified as 60 year old Darnell Hairston. He is traveling with two juveniles, one of whom was reported missing three days earlier. So deputies pulled over Harrison's pickup truck, which had a camper topper attached to it, and they pulled him over on U.S. highway 1 at Palm Coast Parkway. When they stopped him, he rolled down his window and extended both arms outside the window. And they said he appeared anxious and was unable to remain sealed. This according to the deputies. Now, one of the juveniles in the car appeared to be nervous, so the cops had him. I've done the same thing. Separate them. Find out what's going on. Right.
C
So the cops had him step out.
B
Of the truck so they could speak with him or away from Harrison. And as deputies were speaking with the boy, Harrison, he ran like a little. This dumb ass. When he tried to run like a little, what did he do? He slipped and fell face first on the road. Yeah, you're going to jail, buddy. So a deputy jumped on top of him and Harrison tried to take her gun as they were wrestling the ground. He should have got some lead poisoning, reaching for your gun. But other deputies intervene and Harrison was taken into custody. Now, meanwhile, the other juvenile drove away in the pickup. Figure it out. And he. They course, after they got that scene, calm down. They called up the truck and they stopped the juvenile and guess what? They arrested him. Okay, so the investigation continues. And the detective spoke with the 11 year old boy who told them the nightmare. They said quotations. They said the 11 year old victim was clearly traumatized and in fear. He said he had been kidnapped. After he was lured to a campsite, Harrison then began choking him until he lost consciousness. Thank God he didn't break the bone in his neck. When he awoke, Hairston threatened him with a gun and a knife before tying him up with shoelaces and an extension cord. And then he covered his mouth with duct tape. Well, you can imagine what this convicted sex offender was about to do. Harrison held the boy at the campsite for multiple days and forced him to lay on the floorboard of his truck while covered with a blanket whenever Hairston drove the truck. Right. Keeping him under his foot, I guess. Well, investigators searched the suspect's vehicle, home and campsite and found several items, including the duct tape, video surveillance equipment and weapons that were consistent with the victim's statements. In an interview, after receiving his Miranda rights, our douchebag Harrison admitted he knew the boy was missing, but he never called the cops. And now he is up for a ton of charges, including kidnapping of a child under 13, aggravated child abuse, battery by strangulation, and robbery with the deadly weapon. And of course, he also faces charges of resistant arrest with violence. He being. Harrison is at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility and has been, thankfully, is being held without bond and he's not doing a court until January 27th. But per Florida Sex offender Reistry, Harrison has previous convictions for lewd and lascivious behavior with a child under the age of 16 and. And false imprisonment. Right. Get out. He did it again. And I don't know if the Louisiana law. Kim. Castration would have helped that. But Sheriff Rick Staley said in a statement that he hopes this pervert will face justice and serve the rest of his life in prison. Clearly thanks to see something, say something. And her deputies recognizing the victim, was very afraid. We rescued a missing child who is in fear Harrison had planned to kill him. In the hours after Harrison was initially arrested, our team put in a tremendous amount of effort on this investigation, working throughout the day, night, and well into the early hours of New Year's Day as they followed every lead, process multiple crime scenes, and can gut and conducted interviews to make sure this child was protected. And this pervert would be arrested for the crimes he committed. Right? Well, y', all, I think the probably he did some sexual stuff, and they're not saying it in there. You don't keep the kid tied up for three days. And the other kid they arrested, I imagine they're gonna flip him. He's been groomed and to the point where Harrison's like, you know, run if the cops get us, blah, blah, blah.
C
But that dude.
B
Come on, man. What the.
C
Why is he.
B
He already did this. Lewd and lascivious behavior and kidnapping the juvenile, but he's out. What the. I never understand that. I really, really, really don't. And I'm really. You're not going to understand this, or it's going to stay in Florida beast mode. And this beast mode is not on really on the beast, but it is a beast. So we're going to enter Latin Florida, and sheriff's deputies arrested a man accused of filming himself sexually abusing a dog at his home in Interlachen. Yes. It happens. So Putnam County Sheriff's deputy arrested Brendan Haynes, who's a whopping 24 years old, and they arrested on Monday for animal cruelty involving sexual contact with an animal. Your dog, y'. All. Deputies say Haynes sent a video of himself sexually abusing a dog to an online friend who shared the video with a third person who contacted law enforcement. Let's talk about this. I'm sick enough before for the sexual deviant. Almost as important for them to commit the act is to record it in some way. I get Haynes recording himself, but you got a buddy so in the head that you think he wants to see you pleasuring your dog or whatever the fuck was going on. Your sexual contact with a dog and you send it to him. What does he send you? Shit back. And then this dude's sending to another friend that's Supposed to get him off. But thankfully that one had decency enough to call the cops. So the cops go and do what they do and y' all work these cases and it takes all kinds. And one couple was rich and, and the. They had Great Danes and they knitted stockings for the Great Dane for when he mounted the. The pretty wife. Right. And so this the, the Great Dane's claws wouldn't scratch the woman. But anyway and it was all videotaped. So at Haynes home the deputies hid and I imagine they hit it hard because at Haynes home deputies found the dog that appeared in the video. And the guess what? The background of the video also matched his home. Good police work. Putnam County Animal services removed two dogs from the home. And I'll bet you they're gonna find a lot more videos. And a veterinarian will complete a medical exam and provide any treatment needed. Haynes was booked into the pun county jail on a whopping 2500 dollar bond. So what a bell bondsman, he's out on for $260. Wow. Oh my God. You know, oh. I always talk about the ranking or the pecking order for prisoners or inmates. Naturally raping babies is probably the worst than elderly people. And then. But you know, it gets down to it, I don't think I've ever mentioned it you with a dog or horse and I've had in some cases or an animal and you're known animal abuser, Chicken boy, whatever it may be that prisoners don't like that, convicts don't like that. Almost every one of them had a pet as a kid and they'll get a hold of his ass too. So. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. All right, let's do another beast mode. This really should be a effed up family. So y' all three for three times in a row in the great state of Florida. And we love our Florida people but we were going down to Pinellas County, Florida and you know, we love our Pinellas County Sheriff, Grady Judge. Right. So you know, if you got a.
C
Dog.
B
My buddy has and his wife, they can't have kids and they have three dogs and they're a terror. I'd say at least one of them is. And they, you know, tear up and it's a good dog. Right? Right. It doesn't bite people and stuff. But will fight any other female dog that comes around. Or if a deer comes on tv, it tries to attack the tv. Or you can't throw darts because it literally tries to tear the dart board down. Just crazy as. Right. But in, in it's Just like having kids, every kid is different. Well, you know, when you take on raising an animal, puppy, or you have the adult dogs and they have puppies or whatever, that's like having kids. It's a lot of responsibility. And I get that in, you know, even, like, when they go out of town, they have to have someone go take care of their dogs. I get that. Well, that's to be expected, if you will go into Florida. Police arrested two people on animal cruelty charges after they abandoned nine puppies and two adult dogs in park. In a park in Largo, Florida. All 11 of the dogs were found abandoned in plastic tubs left in Taylor park on December 19th of 2025. And this according to the Tampa Bay Times, y'. All. So after the dogs were found, they were taken to an animal hospital where they were diagnosed with parvo. And the canine Parvo infection is a highly contagious disease that's caused by canine Parvois type 2. That's according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. The virus attacks white blood cells in the gastrointestinal tract of dogs as well as damages the heart muscle. Well, after police used various investigative techniques, they managed to identify two people who had been illegally breeding the dogs with the intention of selling them while they were sick. Okay, so you're going to buy a dog offline, and you're going to get parvo right off the bat. And on Friday, January 2, police arrested the married couple, Marianne Hallowney Gamble and Fred Gamble, and they arrested on 12 counts each felony animal cruelty in connection with the case. Both Mary, who's 42, and Fred, who's 43, were taken to the Pinellas County Jail on January 2, and their bail was set at $60,000 each. All right, so you could drop off a mama and a daddy dog and nine puppies that are sick in the state of Florida. And you get a $60,000 bond, but you can rape your own dog and put it on video and send it on the Internet, and you only get a $2,500 bond. But anyway, they said it's not currently clear if Mary or Fred have entered. Please. Or retained legal representation, whatever. So the Largo Police Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. And they said, back to the dogs. And everybody wants to know. Following the recovery, a place called Policious Poochie Pet Rescue took in the dogs and nursed them back to health alongside Skyway Animal Hospital. And just days after the dog's arrival, a tenth puppy named Frosty was brought to Paul Alicia's Poochie with several broken hind legs, with severely broken hind leg and dislocated jaw. Well, you know what, Wait. I'm gonna give these people a shout out. The St. Petersburg based organization added, this story has brought people together all over for the common goal to help move heaven and earth to save these precious souls. Despite being brought in for help, the Tim puppy sadly died on the night of December 30, 2025. They said we were all emotionally and physically defeated and exhausted. Frosty had passed away from his physical injuries. He had a snapped leg and dislocated jaw. And when we did the necropsy we found a huge hole in his small intestine and some other weak points also lining up with blunt force trauma. And he also had parvo as well. That's According to Jamie McKnight, the polishes Poochie Pet Rescue founder. And that that's what he told Fox 13. He said it's a heartbreaking loss especially to know what he endured before we rescued him. So the the organization continued to share updates and they celebrated the two the arrest of these two and they shared that Mary and Fred were in custody and that Polishes Poochie Pet Rescue asked for donations in order to help for caring with the dogs. Well, you know vets aren't free, right? So this is pretty cool. Magnite the owner of Politicious also reflect on the rest while speaking the Fox 13 saying that everybody really rallied for these dogs and look at the results. Got two people in custody. They're being held accountable for the damage they've done and the lies that they have taken. And I've been able to rescue all of these dogs because of everyone's help. And they say if you know of or suspect animal abuse or neglect, you're urged to contact the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals through their website or call your local animal control officer. I didn't mean to make this all about animals today y' all but the shout out to them for taking them in and healing them puppies and hopefully those puppies and hopefully they will get a good home and hopefully those can't make a sixty thousand dollar bond. I'm sure the dog rapist made his 2500 bond. There you have it on that. So I mean y', all, I can't get away from Florida. Just can't. I'm gonna do one more and then I'm gonna end this one for today, this Florida. I love you state of Florida. Mad love. It's time for effed up professionals Love everything about Florida. Yeah, I like Florida State University. Right. Part of this, SEC that or the Florida Gators. And you got Florida State and you got, you know, whatever. Right. So we're going to Florida State though. University and a law professor now. My aunt actually. Why since I've been recording this, my lawyer, Thomas Davenport has tried to call me and he's actually a law professor also. And the we're going to tell you about Florida State University law professor Dan Marco's last day alive, which began like many others. They said he dropped off his two young sons at preschool and he went to the gym to get his workout on. And then he left. And that's where Sugar turned to. And then as he got home, he pulled into his driveway on the morning of July 18th of 2014. Well, when he did that, Marker was shot in the head multiple times. And they rushed him to the hospital where he died the next day. So guess what? Mark had been having custody issues with his ex wife, a lady named Wendy Adelson. Now look, it's been a minute, right? Over the next 11 years, two members of Addison's family, including most recently her mother, Donna Addison, would be revealed as the center of a stunning murder for hire plot against him that would span several criminal trials. So when they married Markle in 2006 after they hooked up on the Jewish dating service and they said, however, a controlling figure emerged in the relationship, guess who it was. It was her mother, Donna. Sarah Catherine Dugan, who prosecuted Donna Addison, said in court that the family matriarch was involved in all aspects of Wendy's life, including her relationship with Markle. Said she was extremely controlling. She had very strong opinions about all decisions in Wendy's life, whether it be about her career, her relationships, or even purchasing a home. So Wendy Allison and Dan Marco eventually moved to Tallahassee where they both got jobs at Florida State University law school. And no matter how good of jobs or you know, what the careers they want to be, their merits began to fall apart in quotations. Our marriage dissolved after the children arrived as a loneliness of being married to someone that didn't view me as an equal crept in. Corbin Wendy and she actually said this in 2015 on a podcast. And as they started podcast that early, so the couple went through a bitter divorce. And at the center of both of their lives post separation was the issue where the two children would live. Right. Custody battle. Donald Allison began a campaign against Markle to really relocate the children and to down to south Florida with her. But Marker was like, you're not doing it. And the he insists on keeping the kids in Tallahassee, so which is 500 miles from where she wanted to go. Now, Marco became increasingly distrustful of Donna due to her desire to move the children away from him. It even filed a motion to prevent her from having unsupervised visit with the kids in 2014. And the it would be the last motion he would ever file before he was shot to death in his own driveway. But two years after the killing, investigators arrested two individuals named sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera and they charged them first degree murder. And the pair were hired to be hitmen who were paid to take out markle. And this according to the prosecutors. So they cut a deal. In exchange for a lesser sentence of secondary murder and 19 years in prison, Rivera gave investigators the name of the woman he claimed hired them to carry out the hit on Marco, which was Katie magbun and Magnua which is the mother of Garcia's child and the ex girlfriend of Alison's brother charlie. Police then arrested Mag Manua in 2016 and later Charlie Adelson in 2022 charged them both for first degree murder. And yes, you can get the death penalty state of Florida for it. They also charged conspiracy to commit murder and solicitation to commit murder for Marco's death. So prosecutors said that Donna and Charlie orchestrated the hit on Dan Marco due the custody issues with Wendy and they use magbuna and Garcia and Rivera to kill him. So Magbuna and Charlie Adelson both pled not guilty, went to trial and they got found guilty. They went to trial in 2022 and 2023 and they got sentenced to life in prison with an additional 60 years for the conspiracy and solicitation convictions. So Garcia was also convicted of first degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder and sentenced to life in prison. He had also pled guilty, took the ship to trial. After Charlie's conviction, investigators learned that Donna adelson was planning to leave the country with a one way ticket to vietnam. And guess why y'? All Vietnam has a no extradition agreement with u. S about right before she got on the airplane, police arrest her at Miami's international airport and charged her with first degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and solicitation to commit murder in her son in law's killing, Dan Marco's killing. So Donna Adison of course pled not guilty of her defense, claiming that she was not involved in the plot. And she's 75 and guess what? She was convicted of all counts against her this past year 2025 and since to life in prison with an extra 30 years for the solicitation conspiracy charges, all to be conserved consecutively. So in course she listened to this beauty queen. She says in her sentencing, never in a million years would I have wanted Danny to be harmed or killed. Nor could I ever do something that would leave these two small boys to grow without him. Well, guess what? You're full of. And the this store has got plenty, plenty of coverage and it's going to be on 2020 and ABC News and all that. But they said the prosecution had a long list of evidence and he said, I think it was how they presented that evidence in the trial that laid out everything to finally land me a guilty verdict at the end of it. And that's one of the jurors at ABC 2020 interview. And I won't go on and bore you with the rest of it. But the yeah, can't get away. And just like today, these, these accidents roll. Not accidents because you know, they're all serious crimes but the accident of it all being floored, I think, except for one story. So sin will be back in the office tomorrow. We'll be rolling it together and lots of stuff going on. I got to get Ms. Barbara on Haley's case and of course I'm recording this early, so hopefully it'll be happened by the time you hear this. And then we got to do just for Bradley. Hashtag just for AO y'. All. I didn't murder them. Remember that. I got brought into this case. I chose to take it on. I'm going to stand by what I'm doing, but I've got to take it where it leads me. And those who, who murdered them, they already know. And I got nothing else. And this. That wraps up true crime time for this first Wednesday in January 2026. And I'm Woody Overton. I holler at you later. Peace.

Themes include corruption and contraband in the prison system, disturbing family homicides, heinous acts of animal cruelty, and ongoing coverage of cold cases and advocacy efforts.

Woody’s delivery is blunt, often laced with gallows humor but always focused on the lasting harm caused to victims—human and animal alike. The episode highlights both the persistence of violent family and sexual crimes, as well as systemic flaws (especially in the criminal justice system’s handling of repeat, serious offenders).
Despite the darkness, persistent themes of community, accountability, and advocacy remain strong. Woody closes with his trademark catchphrase and reminders about ongoing cases and his commitment to truth and justice—even when the progress is slow and frustrating.
This episode showcases the Real Life Real Crime style: gritty, unsanitized, and backed by frontline experience. Woody Overton’s commentary is insightful and emotionally charged, making it a must-listen for those seeking not only true crime details but the real impact and complexities surrounding these stories.
