True Crime time for Wednesday, July 15, 2026 and I'm Woody Overton and on this day in 1997, Andrew Cunningham killed the famous fashion designer Gianni Versace near his house in Miami Beach, Florida and he shot him twice in the head. And it's believed that can whatever his name is, Cunningham's targeted Versace because of his hatred and anger towards wealthy gay men. Stupid, right? And let's see what they did to this cat. What happened to Andrew Cunningham, the guy that killed Versace? Versace was the last victim of Andrew Cutting in a serial killer who had earlier murdered four other men, including real estate developer Lee Miglin. And Cutting in died by suicide on a houseboat eight days after Versace's murder. So he took a ways out. Well, that happens. Y' all call in your tips 313RLRC Tip all the cases, especially the hashtag what happened to Madison? And we have the final memorandum in from Thomas Davenport attorneys and we're going to be bringing you the hashtag justice for Haley at the end of this week and do the call to action. But it's summertime. Hopefully y' all are enjoying yourselves and doing whatever you do during the summer, right? Besides me cutting grass. And you know what I can make? I can make a billion dollars. If you need rain, just let me come to your house and cut your grass for you because I guarantee you to rain within within 10 hours, guaranteed. So I'm sure a lot of y' all are having that experience also. But some sad news and just and there'll be a lot more to come out of it. The we go to my I don't even be facetious about this, but let's go to Rapids Parish in Alexandria, specifically home. Accordingly, Coco and a deputy U.S. marshal was shot and killed while serving an arrest warrant on a fugitive in Alexandria. And this according to the U.S. marshal Service. The shooting happened around 3pm in the Rutland Road area. Rapees Parish Sheriff's Office said detectives, along with members of the U.S. marshals Violent offender Task Force, were conducting a law enforcement operation to arrest a wanted fugitive when the shooting occurred. The suspect is in custody. The FBI is leading the investigation into the deputy's death. The Rapids Parish Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation into the shooting itself. They said the FBI responded to an incident this afternoon in Alexandria with Alexandria Police Department, Rapids Parish Sheriff's Office and Louisiana State Police. And it's according to FBI New Orleans Field Office. They said because this is a very active and ongoing investigation, we cannot comment further at this time. The deputy was assigned. Y', all, this is the Deputy Marshal. Deputy was assigned to the Western District of Louisiana Fugitive Task Force. Per the US Marshal Service policy, Deputy's name will not be released until all investigations surrounding the shooting are complete. So you look, you're an. You're on the run. And I told you the US Marshals get their man almost always right. And you just killed him. You killed him because you're a piece of shit. Now, I talked to somebody about this after it happened, they ended up shooting this bad guy too. They don't say that in this article. And he's in a local hospital. But prayers to all. I mean, everybody that even loved this deputy marshal that got killed. According to. Coco's uncle is retired from the U.S. marshals and, and he was very active in helping with her investigation when we did it, when we did the case, Greg. But the. It's a just a bad day. Let me play this for you, see if it plays around the state.
News Reporter
A deputy U.S. marshal has been shot and killed in Alexandria while serving an arrest warrant. According to the Marshal Service, deputies and members of the Violent Crime Task Force were involved in a shooting around 3pm the subject was also injured and is now in custody. The FBI says that they are investigating this incident.
Woody Overton
Absolute horrible man. It's your job, right? And you, you always have that thought on the back of your mind when you put on your gun belt that day, that may be the last time you do it. But you don't let that grip you in fear or anything and, you know, just keeps you sharp. And this some was probably waiting on him, right? That just a sad, sad thing. All give some, some give all. And, and you never be able to understand the tightness that you have with the guys and girls that you're working with like that. It's like being in a foxhole every day. And then, you know, they had to carry their buddy or their. Whether it was a male or female. I don't know that yet. But they had to carry their coworker dead body out. I don't get it. So, all right, you know, theft. I hate a thief. And I often times say I'd rather deal with a murderer than a thief. Well, you know, if I was going to be a thief, I'd steal some, steal something worthwhile. And evidently copper right now is worthwhile because I got a couple Copper stores, and they're right here in Louisiana. The tangible Sheriff's office. I'll just touch on it and tell you about it real quick. They arrested four out of five people who are wanted for copper theft. So let's go to Tickfall and Tinch Po Parish Sheriff's office has arrested five. I'm sorry, five people in at least three separate copper theft cases since the start of the month. Y' all were halfway into the month. And deputies are asking for public's help and finding the sixth suspect. The first case involved three stolen air conditioner units, including one taken from a church on Highway 1065. Neighbors around the church share tips and home surveillance footage and leading deputies to two suspects caught right across the street with one of the stolen units still on site. Just because they're. They're thieves doesn't mean they're smart. Y' all right? Robert Merrick, who's 47, and Jerry Thompson, who's 46. And look, that's. That's middle age. Get a job, bro. If you're 47 and 46, pretty sure you've been a thief your entire life. You just. Just didn't steal. Start stealing copper, but you're still somebody else's air. A church is air conditioner. Whatever the. They were each booked on one count of burglary of a religious building theft and similar criminal damage to property. Another Robert McGee, who's 45, was booked on one count each of simple criminal damage to property and theft. Now that's because they have to tear up to get to the copper. Right? At the time of the arrest, McGee was already in a tangible parish jail on a separate copper theft case from earlier this month. Since then, he has been booked in a third copper theft case from the last week of June. In a separate case, the tangible parish sheriff's office received a call from a local scrap yard about a man and a woman attempting to sell a large amount of suspected stolen copper. Y', all that if they. They're good scrap yard. They're like a good pawn shop. Pawn shop. When you bring in and you hock it, they have to hold it for 90 days and they have to put it on the list that goes to all the local law enforcement agencies. So somebody comes in and says my diamond brooch was stolen and looked like this. Well, yeah. First thing I'm gonna do is check the pawn sheets, right? Of course, you have shitheads in every business that will take the money under his head or whatever. Same thing with the junkyards. But these people were Like I'm pretty sure they didn't just have this copper sitting around the property. So they called it in. So the detectives work in several ongoing copper theft investigations, tracked down the vehicle, the ones that try to sell it and found the materials piled in the back of a pickup truck because they're dumb as Crystal Watson's 37, another career criminal of Rosaland was that. Yeah, that's in northern T parish, almost to Mississippi. Was arrested on an outstanding felony theft, failure to appear charged. So I told you she's already been charged before and hadn't showed up for court and yet she's riding around with a bunch of stolen copper. And adam Warren, her 39, who's also Rosalind, was booked on a theft warrant out of Mississippi. All right. Detectives believe the recovered property is connected to multiple thefts in Tango Parish and in Mississippi. Now another copper theft investigation is still open and detectives are asking for the public's help. The theft was caught on camera on June 28 and involves an AC condenser stolen from an AC 82 year old man's shop on Crapazana Road in Hammond. I used to live on Crap and Zone Road, y' all when I went to Southeastern and it cost him $20,000 to replace that unit. So they're asking anyone information about the suspect and this idiots on video that they call it TPSO Criminal Investigation Division of 985-902-2088 or you can call Crime Stoppers 1-800-554-5245. But that's not all. We'll come one parish over to Livingston Parish where I used to live also from 20 plus years. And you know you get these tips and you're going to follow up on right? But the let me play this for you.
News Reporter
In Livy's appearance, two people are behind bars this morning after detectives found thousands of pounds of stolen copper wire in Livingston Parish. The sheriff's office said detectives searched a home on Brown Pelican Road and a business in Hammond turning up 3,400 pounds of stolen AT&T copper wire. You see pictures of it right here. 42 year old Todd Pierce, 41 year old Ashley Landry now face five counts of theft, five counts of criminal damage to critical infrastructure. Detectives tie the wire to five cases in the parish and they say more cases in other areas are possible.
Woody Overton
All right, 3,400 pounds of copper wire. If you can work that hard, if you're going to move 3, 400 pounds or something, go get a job as a laborer. They pay Pretty good. You might even get cash money, not have to pay taxes. All right, go mix some semen or something either. And then this is not out air conditioning units. They found an AT&T facility that they hit and stole 3,400 pounds of wire. Now this wire, when they steal the wire, y', all, it just. It's not just pure copper. They got to strip it all down. And so you guys, you got steal £3,400 of anything that's heavy, but then you got to strip it all the way down to the copper to sell it to these junkyards or whoever's buying it under the table. And I'm pretty sure that's a full time job. Get a better one. And the other thing is, you're fucking all of us. When AT&T goes down and they don't have the wiring to replace whatever that is fixed and needs fixing, guess who suffers? All of us. So I hope they. I hope they throw the book, those sons of bitches. And yeah, boys and girls. And the crazy thing is they're all middle aged. Aren't your. Aren't your parents proud? Aren't your kids proud? I'm sure you have kids. Yeah, you'll hear something freaky.

To represent being a lifer, Shopify made it easy for them to complete their purchase. We've got customers all over the country and Shopify helps make that process seamless.

I don't really get it, don't understand it, but I just think that's bizarre. Af, right? So not really a crime, but certainly something blow your mind. If it happened to me, I'd be like, what are my kids doing in their bikinis on your big ass blow up picture in the wall? And we have no connection to this Airbnb. Well, there you go. Cold cases never give up, never surrender. And there's a reason I tell you all that, okay? It's like the one I told y' all about yesterday. You know, the guy saying his wife fell and after all these years later they get him, but then he kills himself. Now, I'm going to tell you about a cold case that happened 41 years ago. All right? And so the cold case, hotel murder of a traveling salesman 41 years ago has been solved with an Ohio man being charged in the deadly robbery after he was linked to evidence found behind a Cracker Barrel restaurant hundreds of miles away. Randy McAllister was indicted by a grand jury last week in the death of John Morne at this Holiday Inn is no longer there off I75 in Middletown, which is 40 miles north of Cincinnati. And this happened on October 16, 1985, when I was a whopping 15. Now, Warren, who is an an employee for an auto parts company, had been in the area for sales meetings when he was found dead in his hotel room. So some of his belongings and he was 44 years old, including his 1985 Oldsmobile, were, were missing from the hotel. Detectives who were investigating the murder ran into a dead end, no pun intended, with insufficient evidence. After falling up on all the leaves that they had at the time, they said some of the stolen items were found dumped behind a Cracker barrel in Dalton, Georgia, which is roughly 400 miles away. And this was days after the murder with and then the the missing car was located in Reddington Beach Florida the which is even further away in Dalton Georgia. I guess they they live down in south Florida. Three men from South Carolina were named as suspects in Warren's death but charges were later dropped after lie detector tests confirmed their alibis polygraphs and this according to the Cincinnati Inquirer. Now the investigation into Warren's murder ran cold for decades that was until 2019 when detectives reopened it and began to re examine the evidence which I wish every department had the time to do. This is some of the recovered covered stolen items were sent to the crime lab for analysis and McAllister and an unidentified dead accomplice were then named as suspects. Detectives have investigated the case since 2021 and then they presented the evidence to a grand jury I guess 2021 is when the DNA came back. They presented the evidence to a grand jury in indicted McAllister last week. They said cold case investigations are cold for a reason right. Y' all been living with me on this show as long as we've been doing cold cases but cold case investigations are cold for a reason. Many times there's some evidence that points to a suspect but just not enough to move forward and and it leads diminish over time living it every day right ask Ms. Barbara Blind Bradley Strasner Haley well Hazel said in Cole but the Madison's but anyway but they said but particularly over the past five years Warren County Sheriff's office detectives have been tenacious in their investigation of this case to get it to a point that their office believed they had sufficient evidence to charge McAllister for the murder of John Moran and the grand jury agreed. The prosecutor's office did not reveal what the exact evidence was that pinned McAllister and his accomplice to the murder. McAllister is being held at the Warren County Jail on aggravated murder and murder charges and he's suspected to be arraigned next Tuesday. Well you know what shout out to those dudes shout out to the law enforcement that picked it up 40 something years later and got it done. Now I don't know if the victim has any family members alive or whatever but he is an auto parts salesman was and is murdered in his hotel room and they steal all this but you get busted 400 miles away because you threw some out behind a cracker barrel restaurant. Love that I I hate the murder. I love the fact that this asshole is no longer going to get away with it. You know I love veterans and you know I love our Military. And my family has a history of it. My son's going to continue the history next year of going in. And I was talking to Doves about it yesterday. I was like, you know, there's going to be some of the worst people you're ever going to meet. And like the guys who go before the judge at 18 and the judge is like, okay, you can join the Marines or you can go to jail, right? And then even though they're there and a lot of them get weeded out, some turn their lives around and that's great. I don't believe any veterans should ever be homeless, homeless or, you know, have to worry about health care or anything like that. But I also don't believe veterans commit crimes. And I'm going to tell you about an Illinois man who has been ordered to spend more than 100 years behind bars because he abducted a woman at knife point from a Starbucks parking lot and then he raped her on Veterans Day. And, but that's, that's not it. He, he actually told her that, I'm raping you because I deserve this because I served in the military. I'm like, hold on. What the, It's Veterans Day. You served in the military. You see somebody outside of Starbucks and you think, I'm going to kidnap you at knife point and rape you because I'm a veteran and I deserve. To rape you. I don't. No, But. Timothy Dubois is 42, was sentenced to 40 years for one count of aggravated criminal sexual assault, 40 years for another count of aggravated criminal sexual assault, 30 years for aggravated kidnapping, five years for one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, and five years for another count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. And Dubos must serve a minimum of 68 years of his 120 year sentence. And. But you know what defense attorneys do, what they do when they write for sentencing. You know what they said? Tell the judge, they told, the judge said, hey, you know, can you go light on her? Your honor, can you go light on our client because he's a veteran? Was what they got back right before the judge handed him down. 120 years. The chief of Police, Brett Rohn, said, we put a monster away today. Chief of Collinsville police and Dubois abducted his victim on Nov. 11, 2022, from a Starbucks parking lot in Collinsville. He got in the victim's car with a large knife and ordered her to drive to a residential area in where he sexually assaulted her. He raped her, y', all, at knife point. Dubois then drove the woman back to Collins Field's business district, put a coat over her head and ordered her to count to 100. And he. But this is what he said in quotations. Do you know what today is? It's Veterans Day. And this way, he told the woman, after abducting her, he said, I deserve this because I'm a veteran. Well, the Madison county jury convicted his ass in May. And during his trial, the victim testified that she feared he would kill her. Well, I. I guess you're right, sweetie. You get kidnapped with a large knife and you get raped. That you probably did the right thing and not fighting in this case, because he probably would have killed you. The quotations. The victim was not familiar with the Troy location, but investigators were able to track the movement of her apple watch to a general area. Investigators combed the area, and on a gravel roadway in Troy, they found a discarded condom. Well, at least he wrapped it up. The condom contained male DNA and the DNA of the victim. The male DNA, however, did not match any profiles in the police database. You know what they. They should charge the ass with literacy. The Collinsville police investigators used forensic, investigative, genetic genealogy to come up with a list of close relatives of the male DNA profile. And this eventually led to authorities cuffing and stuffing Dubois. They said today's sentence brings a measure of justice for a victim who endured. Endured an unimaginable ordeal. While no sentence can erase the trauma that was inflicted, we hope this outcome provides some sense of closure and reassurance that the person responsible has been held accountable. Yeah, well, good job on that. I mean, they could have been just like whatever. Good job on whoever went out there and found that condom. Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure she. She told him they work on him and probably threw it out the window. 120 years. Punk ass rapist. And he deserved the all because he's a veteran. I don't think so. Yeah, all these stories, you just can't make them up. I mean, the good parents, bad parents, everything in between. Who. Let me tell you about this one. Some of you may have heard about

But there is much more to this
News Reporter
family's flight, as NBC 6 investigator Tony Pippitone has been uncovering. Tony, what can you tell us?
NBC 6 Investigator Tony Pippitone
Well, it's just a sad story of homelessness, poverty, mental illness, a custody lawsuit. And at the center of it, through no fault of her own, a now missing 10 year old girl whose aunt told me she did all she could to try to save her from the streets. This was Gabby tear along at her best, staying last year with her aunt in Port St. Lucie.
Guest or Co-host
Gabby's a loving little girl. She's always trying to be like upbeat given the situation. She seems to try to find the joy in everything.
NBC 6 Investigator Tony Pippitone
But this was her in the worst of situations. Sleeping on cardboard in a Broward County Alley around 3:30 in the morning in October 2024. It's where her father's sister, the aunt we spoke to, found her and took these photos before calling the Broward Sheriff's office.
Guest or Co-host
I wanted to save Gabby from other mishaps that can happen when you're homeless and your parents is not coherent or not mentally sound.

Within weeks, the aunt filed this petition seeking temporary custody of Gabby, who she wrote would sleep in the street with her mother, 34 year old Pasha Davis, who is homeless and on medication for schizophrenia. Davis was soon after Baker acted, the aunt told us, and Gabby began to thrive with her aunt.

She's very talkative. She's not afraid to speak her mind.
NBC 6 Investigator Tony Pippitone
And streetwise beyond her years, not very trusting.
Guest or Co-host
She's also suspicious of people because her mom has trained her to be that way as well.
NBC 6 Investigator Tony Pippitone
Released from her mental health commitment, Davis reunited with Gabby at the aunt's house by last December. And in this letter to the judge considering the custody question, she said she intended to stay there, get Gabby into school and get a job while refilling her medication and seeing a psychiatrist. A week later, the aunt took this photo of Gabby going to school. The next day, December 11, she says they were gone.
Guest or Co-host
Gabby told her mother, I don't want to leave mom. I want to stay with my auntie. You can stay too. And she told her mother to behave. She's always ruining it for them.
NBC 6 Investigator Tony Pippitone
It wasn't until last month, nearly two weeks after Davis was detained on suspicion of shoplifting from this Margate dollar tree, that she heard from her brother that Gabby was missing. Now she can only fear what has happened to the girl she tried to save.
Guest or Co-host
I feel like she deserves to be like a regular girl and sleep in a warm bed and have meals and eat candy and have friends and talk to other kids. And she knows nothing of that life and it's very sad to me now.
NBC 6 Investigator Tony Pippitone
The judge wound up having to dismiss the custody case in May because the aunt was never able to properly serve Davis with the legal papers to move the case forward. She had not heard about them for months. She says not until her brother called her last month asking if Gabby was with her because she was nowhere to be found after the mother was arrested.

6Y', all, that's not all. So y', all, that's not all. The naturally right Gabby's missing, but the mom's not saying dick about it. So they said. Four months after surveillance camera captured Pasha Davis with her 10 year old daughter at the checkout of a Hollywood Walmart, Davis was stopped and questioned last month by Margate police who were investigating her for that shop lifting from a dollar tree. Again, right? You got a shoplift from somewhere, a dollar tree, what are you gonna get? But the she, when they stopped her to question her, she wouldn't even give the cops her name. And she also didn't tell him that she had a 10 year old daughter, Gabrielle Gabby Terrelong, who was not with her. So police use facial recognition software and they got her real name and date of birth. Yeah, but Davis, the mom still denies that's her. Oh, that's not me. That's not me. And so she was taken into custody and charged with falsely identifying herself and resisting an officer without violence. That was on October 17th. Twelve days later, Gabby's father who ended up going to the cops. Right. And he told him, he said, hey look, I hadn't seen Gabby since May. And he searched online and found Davis's arrest record and started making calls to find out who their daughter, who had their daughter. And this according to her aunt.

So guess who has her? Nobody knows. Right? And she's definitely not with a family member. She's not with the department's Children's Service or whatever. Or any extended family member in the last proof of life or the last time she was seen was June 21st at the Walmart in Hollywood. That's 118 days, y'. All. But before they arrested Mom. So now the FBI, the floor department, law enforcement, and the Margate police are looking for any clues. What happened to Gabby? Well, let me tell you a little bit more about it. So believe it or not, Gabby's still missing. Right. Her mama was released on 200 bond last Friday. This is two days after Gabby's father Gordon reported the child missing and telling investigators she this is what she told investigators. She says I don't know where Gabby's whereabouts are and that she should be with her father. Cops confining evidence that so Davis was rearrested. Police have been asking people who frequent her haunts or the like the alley that heartbreaking the little girl asleep in the alley on a cardboard box. I saw the pictures and said they're asking all around and telling people to be on lookout in case she reappears. One person called police when she was she spotted and this is according to MARGATE Police and NBC 6. So she's now charged with child neglect without great bodily harm. It's a charge that can be used when there's probable cause that someone's failure to report a child missing put the child in danger. The affidavit states she failed to provide any reasonable explanation as to whereabouts of her minor child and failed to provide adequate services and supervision necessary to maintain her physical and mental health. So now she's on a hundred thousand dollar bond whose order was ordered by the judge who seemed incredulous when he was reading the charter document of her bond on Wednesday. He said all right, hold on one second. This judge Corby Friedman and I mean am I to understand that allegedly she doesn't know where the child is? Well the prosecutor said your honor was understood is she hasn't said anything. It's not known if that's actually accurate. She hasn't given any piece of information about the last time she saw the child, anything and despite different law enforcement agencies trying to find a child, nobody's able to find the child. The judge asked your honor, my understanding as of now, including the FBI, the child is still missing. Well she got a public defender and Davis's public defender says she denied charges and and will fight the allegations in court. You don't know where your kid is and she was doing good in school. We all saw a little picture of her with a little backpack on waving when she's going out the gate to go to school. And her mama just size one day to drag her up again and then put her back on the streets. You can only imagine in my brain the worst is yes, she's dead. And the other worse is she sold her for for dope and into child sex trafficking. Well, Gabby's extended family has been concerned about her well being for some time and this is according to NBC 6. They said investigators discovered in court records and an interview with her hand, her aunt Gordon Terralong's sister one year before Davis was stopped and questioned for suspected shoplifting. This is the picture I saw. Gabby's aunt found her with Davis in an alley in Broward county at 3:30am on October 19, 2024. Gabby was asleep lying on a blanket placed over a flattened cordboard box with another thin blanket placed over her, her tennis shoes removed, sitting by her feet. It's heartbreaking. I mean, it's just absolutely heartbreaking. And I have the photos of it and it just pisses me off. The, of course aunt, you know, tried to get custody and everything and, and the, you know, mom gets out, writes a letter, says, I'm clean, I can provide. This is actually what she said. I, I can provide clean, safe environment, food, love and emotional and financial support. And she wrote this request in custody. I want to save Gabby from other mishaps that can happen when you're homeless and your parent is not coherent or mentally sound. That's what our aunt said. And y' all heard that. She said Gabby thrived when she was staying with her and all of the other great things she said about Gabby. Gabby's paternal grandmother confirmed Gabby's situation in her own letter to judge, saying they and her son Gordon Terrell Long, I guess Gabby's father, who's 37, sometimes slept in abandoned cars when they were homeless. I'm pretty sure my granddaughter ever gets home. I don't, I'm not pretty sure. I'm definitely sure our granddaughter ever gets homeless. Her ass will be with us. They'll have to come arrest me if my, you know, if my daughter was going to fight it or whatever. There's no effing way. So just like veterans should be homeless, I don't believe a kid should be homeless either. Yeah, you know what? I want to play this other one because it talks about DCF and, and my fears also. See if it plays. Right now, concern is growing for the safety of the missing 10 year old girl. Gabrielle Teralong's family says they haven't seen her since June and her mother is also now missing after being released from the Broward County Jail. NBC 6 reporter Ari Otser joins us
News Reporter
now with what we know this evening. All right, what you want? I can tell you that the girls family up in Port St Lucie is extremely worried and so is law enforcement. We're standing outside the FBI building because agents here have joined Margate police and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. And trying to track down this homeless woman and her daughter. Right now on the FBI's kidnappings and missing persons page, the newest addition is the 10 year old girl who hasn't been seen in more than four months. Gabrielle Teralong. Margate police arrested the girl's mother, 34 year old Pasha Davis, on October 17 for allegedly shoplifting at this Dollar Tree store while she was in jail. Police say Gabrielle's father, who lives in Central Florida, reported her missing. But Davis bonded out of jail and now the search is on. Police and the FBI don't know where Davis is and they're concerned about the safety of the little girl.
Guest or Co-host
I fear that someone has taken her or she's given her to someone that she doesn't know.
News Reporter
We reached the little girl's aunt who is the sister in law of Pasha Davis and she told us Davis has mental health issues. She left Central Florida with Gabrielle and they haven't seen them in many months.
Guest or Co-host
Her mother does not trust Gabby with anyone. And so that is the most alarming, scary part of this whole situation is that she's in jail for over 10 days and we have no idea where Gabby would be.
News Reporter
According to the aunt, Davis is frequently homeless. That's Gabby sleeping outdoors on a cardboard mat. The aunt tried and failed to gain custody of her niece, citing the erratic behavior of her mother.
Guest or Co-host
I feel very like powerless. I feel angry because I know that it would happen. Things were not progressing, getting better. They're progressively getting worse.
News Reporter
At one point the aunt says Davis was Baker acted in St. Lucie County. She refused to live in the aunt's house or to let Gabby stay there. And then she disappeared with the girl.
Guest or Co-host
So like she deserves to be like a regular girl and sleep in a warm bed and, and have meals and eat candy and have friends and talk to other kids. And she knows nothing of that life. And it's very sad, bad to me. So.
News Reporter
Davis and Gabby were last seen together at a Walmart in Hollywood back in June. Gabby's father reported her missing to police on October 29, again while Davis was in the Broward County Jail. We don't know why she was allowed to bond out if they knew that her child was missing at the same time. And she was not charged with shoplifting. She was charged with resisting arrest without violence and also presenting false identification to law enforcement officers. She wouldn't tell the cops who she was, which also seems suspicious to them in retrospect. Now they're just hoping to find her and her daughter safe and sound. We're live in Miramar ARI Odds are NBC 6 news, y'.
Woody Overton
All. We know, we already know that they rearrest her because I told you that earlier in the story. That was an older press release. The but here's the. Here's the real problem. Regardless. 10 year olds just don't disappear. Streets are full of pedophiles. That wouldn't actually be the best case scenario. Someone has her raping her somewhere and holed up and she gets out alive one day. But I don't believe that's going to be the case. They also, they said there's anger and frustration at dcf. I guess that's like OCS for us. Who she stated in court records she contacted the aunt listing DCF intake case number, but the agency did not file a case seeking to protect Gabby from harm. She said, again, I took them into my home many times and without the help of child services, I was not able to keep them safe in my home. The mother took her child and ran away at any moment she could. So the I don't know, y'. All. Let me tell you how that. So her mama, Gabby's mama, if you can call her that. The, the lady that birthed her, told her own grandmother, who I talked about earlier, that she was told her own mama that you're a pedophile. I can't leave her with you. Right. So obviously she's got some mental health issues. That, that doesn't change the fact that Gabby is missing and probably dead and growing up on the street. You know, I mean, I'm sure Gabby's mama being paranoid and all that some. Yeah. Told her how to be aware. But she's 10 years old. And I said Gabby is 10 years old. And I know that's the scary part. Gabby has never been left alone with any blood relative, not her father or her grandmother or grandfather. Her mother does not trust Gabby with anyone. She follows the child to the bathroom to brush her teeth, to shower, to use the toilet. She does not allow Gabby to leave her sight ever. But guess what, guess what, she's not in her sight now. And the very fact that she had the presence of mind to lie to law enforcement when she was questioned about shoplifting from the dollar tree. The. And yeah, that there's mental illness is a defense to a certain extent. But if you're sharp enough to know you, you don't want to give the cops your name and they have to take you in, book you for resisting without violence and use facial recognition and whatever and they're asking you where's your Daughter. Where's your daughter? And she is not saying a word. Not saying a word. And the same daughter who she'd never let out of her sight. Something's wrong. My spidey senses tell me this won't be the last we hear of this. I pray somebody in Florida and Gabby's is an African American. Look, if you realize in the last month that you're seeing a 10 year old around. See that's the problem. The Gabby is smart enough to tell her mama, you know, you're misbehaving, whatever. When she wants to leave the aunt's house, that makes me believe that she's just not with some random stranger. That makes me believe that she's dead. And I'm speculating but the she's too smart for that. And, and she's proven it in the past. But if you've seen a 10 year old girl pop up, that young black girl pop up somewhere and somebody's just saying whatever, call the cops, right? If it doesn't make sense, call the cops. And. And you know what the worst case scenario is for you would be that you call the cops and the cops respond and it's not Gabby. And there's a logical explanation why this new kid just popped up. The best case scenario is it's Gabby, we get to bring her home. I don't know. I'm gonna get it. I'm Woody Overton, you host True crime. Time for Wednesday, July 15th. I love y'. All. Holler at you later. Peace.

Hosts: Woody Overton, Cyndi Overton
Release Date: July 15, 2026
This episode of True Crime Time For delves into several real-life crime stories ranging from current tragedies to long-awaited justice. Woody Overton, with his characteristic candid and occasionally wry Southern tone, guides listeners through:
Woody shares both factual updates and heartfelt personal commentary, providing depth, empathy, and, as usual, a touch of irreverence.
[03:19]
[06:00]
“You always have that thought on the back of your mind when you put on your gun belt that day, that may be the last time you do it. But you don't let that grip you in fear… just keeps you sharp.” (08:17)
[09:00]
“If you can work that hard, if you're going to move 3,400 pounds or something, go get a job as a laborer. They pay pretty good. You might even get cash money, not have to pay taxes.” (15:03)
[16:59]
“We are literally in the Airbnb picture... This can't be real. No, guys, what do you think? This is crazy. We are actually spiraling.” (17:05)
[24:53]
“Cold case investigations are cold for a reason. Many times there's some evidence that points to a suspect but just not enough to move forward…” (27:51)
“I hate the murder. I love the fact that this asshole is no longer going to get away with it.”
[29:40]
“I deserve this because I’m a veteran.”
[39:08 onwards]
“Gabby’s a loving little girl... she deserves to be like a regular girl and sleep in a warm bed and have meals and eat candy and have friends and talk to other kids. And she knows nothing of that life and it’s very sad to me now.” (41:49)
“It’s heartbreaking. I mean, it’s just absolutely heartbreaking. And I have the photos of it and it just pisses me off.” (47:05) “10 year olds just don’t disappear. Streets are full of pedophiles. That wouldn't actually be the best case scenario. Someone has her, raping her somewhere and holed up and she gets out alive one day...” (56:48)
“There’s anger and frustration at DCF... The agency did not file a case seeking to protect Gabby from harm... The mother took her child and ran away at any moment she could.” (56:42)
“My spidey senses tell me this won’t be the last we hear of this. I pray somebody in Florida... if you’ve seen a 10-year-old girl pop up... call the cops.” (59:00)
On Versace anniversary:
“If you need rain, just let me come to your house and cut your grass for you because I guarantee you to rain within 10 hours, guaranteed.” (03:19)
On police brotherhood:
“It’s like being in a foxhole every day… they had to carry their coworker dead body out. I don’t get it.” (08:17)
On the futility of copper theft:
“If you’re going to move 3,400 pounds or something, go get a job as a laborer. They pay pretty good. You might even get cash money, not have to pay taxes.” (15:03)
On Airbnb family photo shock:
“Well, that’s not actually a crime. Don’t you think it would be freaky? You check into your Airbnb and they got this big ass blown up picture of you and your kids in swimsuits on the wall.” (17:50)
On cold cases:
“Cold case investigations are cold for a reason... living it every day, right?” (27:51)
On criminal’s entitled justification:
“I deserve this because I’m a veteran.” (from victim testimony, [34:00])
On Gabby’s missing persons case:
“Streets are full of pedophiles. That wouldn’t actually be the best case scenario. Someone has her, raping her somewhere and holed up and she gets out alive one day. But I don’t believe that’s going to be the case.” (56:48)

Woody wraps the episode by expressing continued frustration at systemic failures and the heartbreaking realities for the most vulnerable—children and families. He urges listeners, especially in Florida, to remain vigilant and report even the smallest possible sighting of Gabby. The despair in the Gabby segment is matched by a palpable hope that audience awareness could make a difference.
“If you’ve seen a 10-year-old girl pop up... call the cops, right?... The best case scenario is it’s Gabby, we get to bring her home.” (59:00)
This episode is a mix of true crime reporting, urgent public appeals, and insightful street-level wisdom from a host who’s both gruff and deeply compassionate. Woody blends practical knowledge from his law enforcement background with an advocacy for justice—never shying away from the raw realities.
