Hello everybody and welcome to this episode of True Crime. Time for Friday, June 6, 2025. And what are you over to? I'm Cindy Overton and it's D Day, the greatest generation. This today marks whatever the anniversary is of the largest invasion ever in the history of man when all our troops sailed from England and invaded Normandy, France to battle Hitler bag. Yeah, so anyway then they were just kids and we're so much older. We're like older than any of the generals in the war.
Unknown
Our children are probably older.
Cindy Overton
Yeah, they're probably like would have been officers, high ranking officers or something. But anyway, that's a day. And so many of our soldiers are still there buried on the beaches and cemeteries and on those beaches and just a Hell of a thing. So we can sit here and do podcasts.
Unknown
It's true.
Cindy Overton
So anyway, we want to. We love and appreciate each and every one of y' all. Tomorrow is the first Queens of digital marketing, the human sex trafficking series that begins.
Unknown
Yes.
Cindy Overton
And Ms. Tina's on there, y' all. Y' all gotta listen to it, like it and share it and, and just put it everywhere. It's very important. A lot of crime involved and. And hell of a story. So y' all will go and listen that. And as always, hashtag just for Haley. The case is being worked as we speak, which is just about as good as what we could ask for. And with The Cobb County DA taking it over and all that and Ms. Barbara Blunt's case, please continue to call in your tips. And tomorrow we are recording. No, tomorrow, Saturday we're recording the new hashtag justice4series that's coming out. And it's a hell of a story.
Unknown
Yes, it is.
Cindy Overton
Listen to an hour long record a phone conversation this morning which adds more complexity to the case. Craziness. Crazy. Crazy.
Woody Overton
But what do you have for us today?
Unknown
Okay, well, we're going to start off in South Carolina.
Cindy Overton
South Carolina.
Unknown
And I like South Carolina. I've never been.
Cindy Overton
Yeah, I'll take you one day.

Pageland and a seven year old girl identified as Skyler Baker remains in critical condition after being struck in the head by a stray bullet while she was asleep in her bed after a drive by shooting. The incident occurred around 1:17am on June 1. I can't believe we're already at June 1.
Cindy Overton
We're at June 6.
Unknown
I know, but I mean we're already in the month of June.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Unknown
So in the Brewer Circle neighborhood is where she was. According to Pageland police department officers responded to reports of gunfire and found Skyler with a gunshot wound to the head. She was airlifted to a hospital and is currently on a ventilator. Police have not made any arrest and are urging anyone with information to come forward. Hope that like there's ring cameras and things like that, you know that they can refer to. Skyler's mother, Essence Chambers described her daughter as a ball of energy and a happy child, asking for prayers for her recovery. Her sister Kiara Chambers said Skyler was so full of life and loved by everyone. So Pageland Police Chief Dean Short called the incident a terrible thing, especially in a small community and has emph emphasized the need for community action against such violence.
Cindy Overton
But I mean, what else is he gonna say? And it's stupid drive by shootings we're assuming it's a drive by shooting. Somebody just rides by and fires a bullet. Did it kill the little girl?
Unknown
No, she's in critical care.
Cindy Overton
Yeah, that sucks for her either way, right?
Unknown
Right.
Cindy Overton
I don't know. I don't know. That's definitely a crime. And you know, the streets talk and they will get them for sure. Right?
Unknown
Right.
Cindy Overton
I don't know what else to say. So we're going to Connecticut. Connecticut is known as the Constitution state. Right, That I assume it has to do with the U.S. constitution. Not they're just very constitute people. Is that a word I don't think constitutes. So anyway, they go into Westchester county in Connecticut and they had a bulldog, English bulldog named Bruno. And the keyword there is hat. All right, so you ask yourself what happened? Oh, Bruno. Well, there was a dude named Benjamin Tyler. He like Bruno too much. You know what he did?
Unknown
I have no idea.
Cindy Overton
Well, In December of 2024, Tyler choked Bruno to death.
Unknown
That's hard.
Cindy Overton
Strangled him.
Unknown
How do you do?
Cindy Overton
At the dog's New Rochelle home. So he's not even the owner. But anyway, Tyler was a long time friend of Bruno's owner and had been staying at the home.
Unknown
Oh, okay.
Cindy Overton
Nothing says hey, be a good house guest like strangling my dog. But that's story doesn't stop there.
Unknown
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
Ask me what he did.
Unknown
What did he do?
Cindy Overton
Well, after he choked him to death. Now, you know it takes on average 1 1/2 to 3 minutes to choke human to death. I can't imagine how long it takes to choke a dog death. But after he choked him, death cut him up into pieces. And then he spreads the pieces all around the town of New Rochelle. He did it. That's the truth. The so they said the defendant's conduct in this case is sickening beyond comprehension. That's what Susan Casseray, the Westchester county district attorney said. He will soon have time to reflect on the depravity of his actions. From the Westchester County Jail. She said cruelty animals will never be tolerated under my administration. And guess what? This is your favorite part. How much time is he looking at.
Unknown
With a guy in New York yesterday with like the 56 dogs? Only got a year. So I'm hoping he got more new. Oh my God.
Cindy Overton
Only faces up to one year in jail.
Unknown
That's ridiculous.
Cindy Overton
Isn't that crazy? I mean, I guess if you want to commit a crime and. And you just want to kill some and. And not really spend any time in jail or anything, just. Just torture animals apparently. I mean, I Don't know what else you do. So the. There you go. It's a short one, but I don't have we ever had a case where people cut up a dog and spread it around.
Unknown
I don't recall one, but it's crazy. Try to not remember some of them.
Cindy Overton
Crazy. What you got?
Unknown
I have something that's taking us to Oklahoma City.
Cindy Overton
Oklahoma City. I just listened to a lady's recorded phone conversation and then you hashtag justice4 and this lady was in Oklahoma City. What you got?
Unknown
So I have a man who has been a long time person of interest in unsolved 2010 murder.
Cindy Overton
Oh, so all right.
Unknown
Michael Wayne Thomas. It's a 50 year, 54 year old insurance agent from now. Yes.
Cindy Overton
Okay, that was because you said the cases in 2010. So that would make him add another 50. He'd be 64. He'd be 70, but he's 54. So he's a year younger than me.
Unknown
Okay, so he's 54 right now.
Cindy Overton
All right.
Unknown
And he is a long time person of interest in an unsolved 2010 murder of Julie Mitchell. And in November of 2010, Julie Mitchell, who was 34, was found beaten to death in the master bedroom closet of her Oklahoma city home. Her 13 month old baby was discovered unharmed nearby and approximately $30,000 was reported missing from her closet safe.
Cindy Overton
One who reported missing?
Unknown
I don't know.
Cindy Overton
Thank you. You walk in and you see someone dead and well, you know it. She probably had to open and say otherwise the person reported missing could have just seen the dead body and took the money.
Unknown
Could have. At the time of her death, her husband Teddy Mitchell was in California and he was later convicted in 2014 for operating illegal high stakes poker games.
Cindy Overton
There you go. Sort of 30, 30,000 cash came from.
Unknown
And taking unlawful sports bets.
Cindy Overton
Oh, he's a bookie and a poker player.
Unknown
Serving a 27 month federal prison sentence. So Thomas had been interviewed by police five to six times since 2012 regarding the case. And Thomas, he was in California. No, her husband is the one. Teddy was in California. But Michael Wayne Thomas, a 54, 54 year old insurance agent, he has been interviewed by police five to six times since 2012 regarding the case.
Cindy Overton
Means I couldn't get off of him as a suspect.
Unknown
He consistently denied involvement in her murder, stating in a 2012 interview with the Oklahoman the. I guess the newspaper in that area I 100% did not, that's for sure. And referring to murdering her. But despite his denials, Thomas remained a person of interest due to his gambling ties with Teddy, Right.
Cindy Overton
Might owe him some money.
Unknown
And the discovery of his company checkbook at the Mitchell's residence after the movie.
Cindy Overton
I mean, come on, man, explain that. Right.
Unknown
So Thomas had acknowledged playing poker at Teddy Mitchell's house and placing bets with him. He also told authorities that he allowed Teddy to become a. A partner in his business to help pay off his gambling debt.
Cindy Overton
I bet it. Teddy owns part of a mortuary and. And everything else.
Unknown
So for the last the. In the latest interview, Thomas insisted on a remote session, refusing to meet in person. Oklahoma City Police Department Master Sergeant Gary Knight stated he had agreed to be interviewed by detectives, but only with this the only stipulation that he wasn't going to be at the same location.
Cindy Overton
You know why? Because he's thinking, they keep interviewing me. This might be the time they whip out the bracelets to put on me, give me my jury and take me to their hotel. And he's like, I'm gonna find out what they got, what they want to know and what they got. And. But if it's. If they got me, they can't get me.
Unknown
Oh, well. So. Detective Bryn Carter, who conducted the interview, said Thomas dominated the whole conversation, leaving little opportunity for questioning. He didn't give me an opportunity to say anything. He controlled the conversation from the start.
Cindy Overton
That's. That's the officer's fault.
Unknown
Exactly. But approximately 40 minutes into the call, I hate to ask you this, but he confess, he pulled out a pistol and shot himself. His attorney, Ed Blau, who had represented him since 2012, was present during the call and expressed his shock, stating the phone landed right by his head.
Cindy Overton
An attorney probably got on the microphone, said, now you can exclude my client from your investigation.
Unknown
Oh my gosh. He says, it was shocking and horrific. I mean, what else? So the Oklahoma City Police Department to con continues to investigate Julie Mitchell's murder, emphasizing that the case remains open.
Cindy Overton
Well, I mean, it could just. It could just be up those tonsils in debt to different bookies and had enough of the cops question. He could just been having a bad day.
Unknown
Detective Carter stated, we've always said this was an old case, not a cold. An old case, not a cold case. Authorities are seeking information from under other individuals who may have knowledge related to the case.

That's crazy. Let me tell you a story that there's this video that showed us this. And basically it's to teach you how to really search people before you bring them in for questioning or for jail, right? And there was this guy, I think he's a Hispanic male, and he. They were bringing him in for questioning about shooting a cop. All right, it's on video. And they bring him in to the interrogation room, they set him down, and they said, you need something to drink? He said, yes, water, please. And the dude's all nervous on camera. They bring water. They open the door, hand in a bottle of water, and they shut the door again. And he takes the bottle of water and he gets a sip and he drinks it and takes his hat, it's like this. And he says, well, we're down. He picks up another bottle, drinks it again. I'm gonna talk about the cameras right in his face. And then he stops. He sits down a bottle of water and this shirt, pulls out a pistol, blows his brains out. Now the cops hear the gunshot.
Woody Overton
They come running the room like, holy, holy. You can hear it on the camera. Yeah, like, who the searched him?
Cindy Overton
So he, I mean, he blew his brains out right there in the interrogation room. And I'm pretty sure that somebody lost their job for that, I guess. So the one plus one rule.
Woody Overton
I ever tell you about that.
Unknown
Yes, but I don't remember.
Cindy Overton
Okay, so if you search, searching someone, you find one weapon. Always continue search because you'll find another one plus one interesting. Well, I only guess that lawyer really had any experience this his client was. I bet you Lori really thought, yeah, how about billing for this? It wasn't even a full hour.
Unknown
I just think that.
Cindy Overton
But yeah, we don't usually do suicide stories, but that one tied into crime. We have a lot of stories we could do every day about these murder suicides. And I just hate Them. Because I think there's such. It's so bad for the families and. And the people that deal are such. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? I mean, don't take somebody else out then yourself. Just take yourself out. But anyway, let's go to Maryland.
Unknown
Okay.
Cindy Overton
Been there. Kind of cool. It's totally different. I got to take you up there one day. It's like they got like mountainous regions, kind of like the mountains around Chattanooga and stuff. It's really beautiful. Although, you know, I don't like Baltimore. I'm talking about the countryside stuff.
Unknown
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
So we're going to tell you about a dude named Tori Moore. All right? And he tore Moore. Well, did all kinds of. This story is disturbing. So I'm just going to warn you. So first of all. Well, not the first thing he did, but one of the things he did, he went to a store to get him some iced tea.
Unknown
Okay.
Cindy Overton
And he walks into the convenience store, which is across the street from his White Oak apartment. And he walked to the cooler and got him a bottle of iced tea. And he takes it up and sets it on the counter. Well, he and the clerk got into an argument. And this on December 8th of 2022, that according to the Montgomery County State's Attorney, John McCaffrey. So the clerk is a Lou Wonder moo. Who is 61 years old. Right. Well, nothing says I'm gonna end this argument like pulling a pistol and shooting Ailey Wonder. Moot. Nothing says I'm gonna end this argument and win this. This verbal judo like pulling out a pistol and blowing this guy's brains out. Right. So actually he shot him. He leans over the counter, he shoots a Lulu. And as a Lou falls to the floor, he leans over the counter and shoots him several more times as he's laying on the floor.
Unknown
Yeah, right.
Cindy Overton
A little overkill, probably. Yeah. I mean, okay, so then he just walks back across the street to his apartment. Was bottle iced tea. Well, you know, the cops got to come and they. They do what they do. And they were like, okay, people saw what they saw. And they identify the guy and say, hey, looks right the fuck over there. So they call out the SWAT team, like, we got to know this. Motherfuckers have shot this dude numerous times. And we got to go respond. So we listen and swat. And that's who the police call when they get scared. Right? Special weapons and tactics. So SWAT team responds and they go into Homie's apartment, and guess what they found his live in girlfriend, Denise Middleton, you know, where she was Bathroom. She was under a blanket in the bedroom.
Unknown
Okay.
Cindy Overton
In an advanced state of decomposition. And she was eight and a half months pregnant. Oh, so with More child. With this child. And they. She had already given the name of Ezekiel. I mean that's how close she was to bet about this. According to the Washington Post. So the surveillance footage showed more pushing Middleton into an elevator in the building's lobby on October 9, 2022. Moore shot her seven times in. In the apartment that day. And with at least four bullets entering her back. Oh, so three to the front, four to back. Again, this dude trigger happy, Right. So according to MacArthur that the DA more then went to North Carolina and California in the weeks following his shot her covers on the blanket. And he goes to North Carolina, California. So the cops arrest him and investigators find his phone on his Internet searches. How long does it take for a dead body to smell? And how to. I'm serious. How to move a dead body without being seen.
Unknown
How do you.
Cindy Overton
I mean come. Yeah, you can google some stupid but who the fuck's gonna put that. You know what? I'm type that in right now. I can't use your phone because you're video recording y' all. Hey, we are on YouTube. Let me finish the story then I gotta. I got. I would want to know choir minds want to know what the the Internet tells you about that question. So remember that. How long does it take for a dead body to smell? Anyway, McCarthy said that Moore also searched how to plead innocent insanity. Yeah. So he was on the run or just out of the house for 26 days while Middleton's body was riding in an apartment. Now Moore has since been convicted of first degree murder and another firearm related charge. And Wanda moves death the clerk and on. He got convicted on May 16 last year. Now on November 22, 2024, another jury he goes to trial again. They convicted him on two counts of first degree of murder. One for Milton Middleton's death and another for the viable fetus because she was eight and a half months pregnant. Say he got sentenced to three consecutive life terms last Friday and the DA McCarthy said he likely wouldn't be qualified parole until he is 90. How the you get three convictions for first degree murder? I guarantee them. I don't even gotta ask Siri though. They have the death penalty because you kill a pregnant eight and a half month old, you know, you're whatever she was to you. You kill her and leave her to ride and you shoot the other dudes in the 60s during a rug and make it a Robbery I'm sure. Assume he didn't pay for his tea. In Louisiana you'd be getting a needle for that. But prox prosecutors said that Moore was the first conviction in the county's history for the murder of an unworthy born child. That's according to the Washington Post. Some more the Maryland man is now 34. He didn't testify or speak at his trial or at his sentencing last week. But his attorneys argued what that mental illness schizophrenia calls him to do what he did. They said these acts were not a byproduct of a cold and calculated individual but one who has struggled with his mental health for his entire life. And that's according to public defender Roberto Martinez. And it's the very fact that Mr. Moore was sleeping in the apartment with Ms. Milvin's body emphasizes that Moore's mental illness brought him out of touch with reality. Well judge thought different said we're left to wonder why he did what he did. Just Judge Rochelle Mcguiren said and really no one knows but him and maybe not even him. Come on man. You people said stay with the dead bodies all the time that don't mean you're crazy but what really means you're not crazy is this and now I can do it how long does it take for a dead body to begin to smell? Here's an answer from coalition.com actually answer it one to three days after death A dead body that died of natural causes typically begins to give off an odor within one to three days after death do the breakdown tissues release the gas Let me change it how do you move a dead body without being seen? I found this on the web I can't believe actually ask this so we're going to Quora and it says find some federal these ought to be investigated the dude named James William says I'm really smart and I'm a practicing FMD whatever the that means this has this question has 55 answers and and 106.3k answers all or views all right in three years I bet you no I'm on Cora U O R A I just did the first thing popped up so this first says find some federal land that's protected for nature they won't be building a shopping mall there anytime soon causing you to have to dig up that smelling sack of shit find.
Woody Overton

Cindy Overton
What you got?
Unknown
We're going to the UK. Normanton Derby. So human remains believed to be those of Isabella Helena Zablaka which is a Polish woman who vanished nearly 15 years ago have been unearthed in the garden of her former residence on Princess street in Normanton. So the discovery has prompted the Derbyshire police to launch a murder investigation leading to the rest of four individuals in connection with the case. So let me give you a little bit of details because this happened in 2009. Isabella Zablaka was 30 at the time.
Cindy Overton
Right.
Unknown
And she moved to the UK from Poland and settled into Normanton. She last communicated with her family on August 28, 2010.
Cindy Overton
Would make somebody move from Poland to England.
Unknown
I have no idea.
Cindy Overton
Two different languages.
Unknown
Maybe a job.
Cindy Overton
Maybe. So that's. The food's better in Poland. I bet the beer is better in Poland.
Unknown
I don't know.
Cindy Overton
Polish like Polish sausages.
Unknown
Just the only thing I can think of.
Cindy Overton
Polish kebabs. Or is that. Is that a thing?
Unknown
I don't think kebabs are Polish. But she had last communicated with her family on August 28th of 2010. But then all contact ceased. But her disappearance was not reported to UK authorities at that time.
Cindy Overton
And this is a lady from Poland.
Unknown
Mm. Leaving her case dormant for nearly a decade and a half. It wasn't until May of this year that new information surfaced and which prompted the Police to open the investigation or to investigate her disappearance. So acting on the recent. On a recent tip that investigators received, they searched the property that she was at on Princess street and they discovered human remains in the garden which they believed was hers.
Cindy Overton
Well, I wonder if they're growing in a garden.
Unknown
I don't know. But at 30. I'm sorry.
Cindy Overton
Large yellow squash, probably the human remains probably made it grow good.
Unknown
Probably so. Well, a 39 year old woman previously arrested on suspicion of murder was rearrested on Monday. Additionally, two other women, age 39 and 43 and a 41 year old man were also arrested over the past week.
Cindy Overton
So they have four people, they're just locking them up.
Unknown
Yeah, but they were all released on bond pending further inquiries.
Cindy Overton

Unknown

Cindy Overton

Well, Detective Inspector Kane Martin, leading the investigation, said Isabella's family are at the forefront of our minds following this discovery. And whilst formal identification has not taken place, I'm pretty sure it's our belief that these remains do belong to Isabella.
Woody Overton
Did you know your birthday doesn't tell the whole story when it comes to how old you really are? I've learned that your biological age, basically how old your cells and organs actually are, is one of the most powerful predictors of your long term health. That's why I was so curious to try the True Age test from True Diagnostic. It's a super simple at home test that helps you uncover your biological age and gives you insight into your risk for things like Alzheimer's, heart disease, even early mortality. I ordered it myself because I wanted a clearer picture of my health beyond just checkups. It blew my mind to learn that if your biological age is just five years older than your actual age, your risk of major illness can go up by 30 to 50%. That was a wake up call. But what really motivated me was this. Up to 90% of biological aging is driven by lifestyle. That means how we eat, sleep, move and manage stress really matters and we can slow it down. True Diagnostic doesn't just show you your biological age. You get a full personalized report loaded with science backed steps to actually improve your health over time. I'm genuinely excited to see my results and make some smart changes. Maybe dial in my sleep, rethink my supplements, or just build better habits. Overall, the whole process is easy. Just a quick finger prick at home, pop your sample into the prepaid mailer and a few weeks later, your results are online with clear, actionable insights.

Cindy Overton
Sounds like an action figure. Impossibles.
Unknown
Impossibles. The Kim Possible. Authorities are appealing to the public for any information related through her disappearance.
Cindy Overton
I'd be like you if I knew something about it. I damn sure ain't telling you after 10 years or however long it is.
Unknown
15 years and they're saying Isabella had friends in Derby. She socialized in Derby. We know that someone out there knows something. So Crime Stoppers is off spring.
Cindy Overton
What's that? Derby.
Unknown
Where she lived.
Cindy Overton
Oh, I was thinking. And it's like a. Like a club or something.
Unknown
No, it's the little town that she lived in in the UK. So Crime Stoppers is offering 2,000 the euros, right?
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Unknown
Okay.
Cindy Overton
I don't know. I. I lose track of that.

Cindy Overton

Unknown
So you come on August 28th. You ain't getting that.
Cindy Overton
No doubt.
Woody Overton
No doubt.
Cindy Overton
The little town. Almost. I don't know how big the town is. Derby, I don't know. They didn't give me a derby hat.
Unknown
I wanted.
Cindy Overton
Are we going to the Derby one day?
Unknown
We're supposed to before COVID with your parents.
Cindy Overton
Yep, we're going one day. And that was my dad and I was to do this but didn't make it. All right now. D Day. Very important day for me. As are all military. Great military days. Call it great important military days. So we're going to take you back to June 6, 1944.
Unknown
Okay.
Cindy Overton
So naturally, that's when the allies finally invaded Europe. Okay. The Hitler kicked their ass for all the years and in England, almost lost. Of course we got sucked into when the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor. And then Japanese and Hitler and Italy all joined together. The axis of evil. And we're fighting them all right. But the tides of war slowly began to turn and we mounted the largest invasion ever recorded. So June 6, 1944 was D Day. Meaning this is it. But it actually was supposed to happen several days before that and it kept changing because of the weather. So June 6, 1994. I'm going to Tell you about the crimes that happened on this day.
Unknown
Okay.
Cindy Overton
During the invasion.
Unknown
Oh, yeah.
Cindy Overton
Real, real history. While D Day, or the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1990. 94. On June 6, 1944, is mainly known for its massive military operation. And after that, it was the beginning of the liberation of Europe. Right. But it's important to acknowledge the darker side of D Day and including, but not limited to, well, including wartime crimes and the exploitation of the population. Then what do you think about it? You. You've been fighting in other theaters and you've been waiting this long to go in and get the Nazis and whatever, and France capitulated and surrendered, and you're going back in. Killing is killing, but a lot. Sometimes she gets a little out of hand.
Unknown
Well, yeah, they know.
Cindy Overton
It's not like now where they have to ask permission.
Unknown
Yes. I was going to say. Yeah, it was a free for all.
Cindy Overton
So the. It's natural. I. I would think that it's natural when you're in that rage and your buddy just got his head blown off and you're fighting back. You like, I'm gonna do some shit.
Unknown
Yeah. Yeah.
Cindy Overton
I wouldn't have done all this, so. Because these incidents include sexual violence, murder, looting, and, you know, this. That's all wartime, for real. But let's talk about it. Crimes committed during D Day. And y' all. I'm getting this off of. I don't even know what the. This thing is. I try to give credit and we'll try to, you know, in the stories, we'll read this quotes and on whatever reasons. Right. Yeah. Other people did the work. I didn't know this until I read it, but sexual violence. They had reports of rape and sexual assault committed by the Allied soldiers, particularly American and British troops. And then this all came out after D Day. Some of these incidents involved civilian women in France and later in Germany as the Allies advance.
Unknown
That's. That's just too much. Yeah, well, that really is. I'm sorry.
Cindy Overton
It is. I agree with you. Now, this one, I kind of get it. But the murder of prisoners of war. So the Normandy massacres were Canadian and British prisoners of war were murdered by the 12th SS Panzer Division. Or is it an example of wartime atrocities during D Day? So it wasn't just us. When they say the Allies, it's the Australians, the New Zealanders, Canadians, we all hit them at the same time. But they. The Canadians and the British, they got captured by the. The Nazis. The. The 12th SS Panzer Division, that's like the tank divisions and. And The SS or the Nazis elite, They're super soldiers. Right. And they murdered the. Out of them. So looting and pillaging. I kind of get this. The. I'm thinking if I'm over there and I got to clear every building and do whatever and. And, you know, I know some Nazi officer's been living in here and he's got a fifth of whiskey. I'm probably gonna take it.
Unknown
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
So. But anyway, living in pillage and said. As Allied troops advance into the occupied territory, reports of looting and pillaging along with wanton destruction became widespread. I get that too. I'm. I would burn every.
Unknown
Make them.
Cindy Overton
You shooting at me? You're. You're a sniper and you're in that house and you're shooting me and I can't get you. I'm burning the house down.
Unknown
Exactly.
Cindy Overton
So other crimes, besides the ones where I talked about, there were also instances of soldiers committing other crimes, including theft and violence against civilians. Well, you know what? A lot of the French people turn on loan French people. They're like the women who were sleeping with the Germans and the people who buddied. Buddied up to the Germans, right? Like, oh, you know, thought they were new Germany. Well, the, you know, the French Resistance and stuff that, like, they took the women out, stripped them naked, shaved their heads, and tarred and feathered them and all kinds of.
Unknown
Right.
Cindy Overton
So racial discrimination.
Woody Overton
So they have official reports and documents.
Cindy Overton
From the time that suggests that there was a focus on the race of soldiers when reporting their misconduct, particularly when it came to black soldiers and African American. What are you. Whatever you want to say, that that's a real deal. Even all the way back to the Civil War, when they first started using African Americans to fight the South. The. I mean, even though they're fighting and fighting gallantly, but with. With. With honor.
Unknown
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
Their own. Their own sides put down on them, and they were harder on them. And I've seen stuff about World War II African American soldiers and units that they just got upon, they were twice as hard on, even though they're doing the same job that the whites were doing. So let's talk about remembering the dark side. As D Day is commemorated, it's crucial to remember the darker aspect. As D Day is commemorated, it's crucial to remember the darker aspects of war, including the crimes committed by Allied forces. So historians and researchers are continuing to investigate these incidents and bring them to light. Challenging traditional heroic narrative of the Allied victory. They said by examining these incidents, we can learn about the potential consequences of war and the need for accountability, even in the face of immense challenges. So anyway, I don't know. The. It's crazy. The. I mean, war is bad.
Unknown
Yes. War is bad.
Cindy Overton
But if Hitler hadn't been Hitler and the Japanese hadn't bombed Pearl harbor and I'm German, Right. And the. The. But Japanese handbar. Hey, Hitler was bad.
Unknown
Yes.
Cindy Overton
Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. Surprise attack killing 3,000. Some plus Americans bad. Yeah. They started a war.
Unknown
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
So I think their admiral Yakimoto, who had spent time as the adjutant in Washington D.C. was, I think was educated at Harvard, but they sent him over to learn American ways and everything else. And he ended up being in charge of the whole Imperial fleet. Now keep this in mind. Before this. Before too, everybody thought it was going to be about tanks. Airplanes weren't really even a big consideration, especially naval ships and the naval ships they thought were going to be. The big deal was battleships. Like there wasn't World War I battleships didn't do shit in this war. Try to kill each other. It ended up being all about aircraft carriers. But Yakimato said. And they called her. They called us with our pants down. And all the planes were stacked side by side in the field, which for security measures, so they could watch them, keep an eye on them, not thinking that somebody could come in and drop one bomb and blow up 20 planes. All our ships tied up tail to tail. Same thing. And they, you know, they planned it for years and. And shallow. Made shallow running torpedoes because he dropped from planes and stuff. Anyway, they got us. But when the.
Woody Overton
They get them all, obviously we.
Cindy Overton
We still had two carriers that were out at sea. Yakamado said they were all celebrating victory. Yakimata said, I fear we've just awakened great giant, meaning the marriage. Because he lived in America.
Unknown
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
We had the resources. And one of the reasons they attacked us was. Was for oil and like that, but whatever. Anyway.
Woody Overton
D Day history.
Cindy Overton
D Day crimes. D Day times. And it's time for these nuts to get out of here.
Unknown
Oh, my gosh.
Cindy Overton
I didn't talk about testicles. I was talking about you guys.
Unknown
Yeah, I feel like a nut right now.
Cindy Overton
Mounds don't. All right. You got anything else?
Unknown
I don't.
Cindy Overton
Hope you all enjoy your weekend. Listen, tomorrow, Queens is probably official title of the series, but it's Queens of Digital Marketing.

In this gripping episode of True Crime Time For, hosts Woody Overton and Cindy Overton delve into a haunting blend of contemporary crimes and historical atrocities, intertwining true crime narratives with the profound events of World War II's D-Day. The episode, titled "Murder, Madness & the Myths of War: True Crime Meets History," offers listeners a deep exploration of various unsettling cases while reflecting on the darker aspects of one of history's most significant military operations.
Timestamp: [07:19]
The episode opens with a harrowing account from Pageland, South Carolina, where a seven-year-old girl, Skyler Baker, was critically injured by a stray bullet during a drive-by shooting on June 1st. Cindy Overton shares Skyler's family's desperate plea for prayers and community assistance:
"Skyler's mother, Essence Chambers, described her daughter as a ball of energy and a happy child, asking for prayers for her recovery." ([08:24])

Westchester County District Attorney Susan Casseray condemned Tyler's actions, emphasizing:

"Some incidents involved civilian women in France and later in Germany as the Allies advanced." ([51:08])
Murder of Prisoners: The Normandy massacres saw Canadian and British POWs killed by the 12th SS Panzer Division, highlighting that atrocities were not one-sided.
"Canadian and British prisoners of war were murdered by the 12th SS Panzer Division." ([51:08])
Looting and Pillaging: As Allied forces moved forward, widespread looting and destruction were reported, driven by the chaos of war.
"As Allied troops advanced, reports of looting and pillaging along with wanton destruction became widespread." ([52:34])
Racial Discrimination: Black soldiers faced harsher scrutiny and repercussions compared to their white counterparts, a reflection of the era's pervasive racism.
"There was a focus on the race of soldiers when reporting their misconduct, particularly against African American soldiers." ([53:25])
"By examining these incidents, we can learn about the potential consequences of war and the need for accountability, even in the face of immense challenges." ([54:00])
Cindy emphasizes the importance of acknowledging these atrocities to understand the full impact of war beyond the battlefield heroics.
Throughout the episode, Woody and Cindy highlight their commitment to solving cold cases and advocating for justice:
