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 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.

Hello everybody and welcome to episode of True Crime. Time for Monday, June 9, 2025. And I'm Woody Overton.
Sheriff Jason Arden
I'm Cindy Overton.
Cindy Overton
And we are back at it again. Just did a drop on Sunday about the new hashtag justice for Bradley, y' all. It's coming out this Friday. Please go listen to it. It's a crazy story. I said I know just I mean I I don't know how to explain it. So many twists and turns and, and things that and it just can't be ignored. And this family, as all families do, deserves justice. And so just please go look and we look for hashtag and everything just for Bradley. And let's talk about Haley Johnson's case. Hashtag justice for Haley. I'm changing the hashtag justice for Haley to hashtag justice for Haley is coming because we've carried her case as far as we can and taken as far as we can and now the Cobb County DA herself and UDA is looking into the case. They can't ask for that because they weren't going to do anything with it. Right?
Sheriff Jason Arden
Right.
Cindy Overton
We have definitely not forgot about her. And today on June 9th, I'm actually recording a podcast with Sheriff Jason Arden Livingston Parish on Ms. Barbara Blunt. Never going to forget about her. Right. So y' all keep calling in your tips. There will be a tip line set up for hashtag just for Bradley, which that number will be released at 12:01am Friday morning. And calling your tips. No tips too small. I totally believe this case can be solved and we're going to rock it like we rock all of. So that being said, I want to talk briefly about California, Los Angeles. See what's happening. No, you didn't see it. Okay. The last two days they've been rioting and attacking police officers to the point where they had to call out the National Guard.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Why?
Cindy Overton
Because they went through and. And arrested 100 something illegal immigrants. And the, and people popped off. And I don't care how you feel about immigration. You don't. When you attack federal agents with a Molotov cocktails.
Sheriff Jason Arden
What's the deal with those?
Cindy Overton
I don't know. When you attack federal agents, Molotov cocktails, and the police can't get a handle on it, then that's what the National Guard is for. You know, the National Guard, whatever it's called, the Posse act or something, they have no arrest powers on local soils, but they're there to help keep the peace. And the president even said at one point on Saturday when it's getting really, really bad that the Marines at Camp Pelham Cent were on standby and he would deploy them if necessary. Now that's, you know, that's not really like in the Constitution or whatever, but doesn't matter. Don't be an asshole. Don't loot, don't attack federal agents for doing their job. And I was reading the criminal histories of some of these guys that they got. It's crazy. Again, I don't care how you feel about immigration. You don't. It's, you know, if you attack a federal agent or you attack law enforcement, you got to expect a response. And you want to burn shit up and hurt people. That's not cool. Don't be an asshole. I think generally in these type of situations, Sundays and Mondays, they calm down because people have to go to work.
Woody Overton
So don't be an asshole.
Cindy Overton
You know, it's right and wrong ways to do things you don't, like policies or whatever. You know, do something in the lifetime, but don't Hurt law enforcement office. You know, they're real people. They have families. You got kids, they got wives, they got whatever. Don't pull them up.
Sheriff Jason Arden
No.
Cindy Overton
All right, so that being said, let's get on some true crime time for Monday, June 9th. I'm here with the happiest lady in the world, Cindy Overton. Roll with what you got, y' all. We're on YouTube. There will never be another audio, just audio put up on YouTube. It's going. Everything that we do now will be on video on YouTube and of course, follow us on Tick Tock.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yes. All right. We're going to Florida.
Cindy Overton
Florida.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah. Sheriff Brady, Judge Volusia County, Deltona.
Cindy Overton
Right.
Sheriff Jason Arden
We have a young couple and they dated for a couple of years. They broke up.
Cindy Overton
Right.
Sheriff Jason Arden
But the boy, that's his life.
Cindy Overton
Right?
Sheriff Jason Arden
Right. I don't have information on the female. They might have kept her out for a reason, like age, name, that type of thing. But the male in the relationship, well, his last name is Vallejos and he is 20 years old. And when girlfriend and him broke up, he decided that he was going to stalk her. He wasn't done with her, so he just sat outside her house. Sat outside, stared into her window, watched her. And he slowly progressed into vandalizing the garage. Spray painting.
Cindy Overton
What point does she call the cops?
Sheriff Jason Arden
So she doesn't. And she lives with her dad. On June 1, the police called him walking down the street and what they deemed was not really seasonally appropriate attire, so it called attention to him. He had on a ski mask, a hoodie, Florida summer heat, multiple shirts, jeans, gloves. And it was 76 degrees outside. Yeah, this is 11 o' clock at night. So when the police also drove by him, he kind of went like, you know, covered up his face.
Cindy Overton
Even though he had a ski mask.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Exactly right. He had. I mean, he was just trying to get rid of everything. And so they stopped him and then. Because obviously it just didn't seem right. So they did a search of him and in his pockets was a large pocket knife and a lock picking tool. And that was enough to raise alarm because there had been an uptick in burglaries in the area too. So they thought they got this burglary suspect, they bring him in for questioning. And in the questioning he admitted that he'd been stalking his ex girlfriend for six to eight months.
Cindy Overton
Nice.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Repeatedly going to her house and watching her sleep. This is a 20 year old man, so I'm assuming that the girls in the same, you know, age range. Right. That's just scary. That he's been watching her. He planned to break into her home, climbing in with the lock, picking tools, returning to his vehicle for a pre packed backpack, and then entering possibly to watch her sleep. Again, this is what he's telling the police. But in his car he also had a sledgehammer and that was specifically to break through the front door. And he said to defend himself if confronted by the father.
Cindy Overton
Yeah, because you're breaking in, you need to defend yourself.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Right.
Cindy Overton
And then about, don't break in, motherfucker.
Sheriff Jason Arden
When he was pressed even further if he planned, asking if he planned to hurt or kill her, he, he responded, yeah, eventually.
Cindy Overton
He had diarrhea in the mouth.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Right. Deputies looked through his backpack also. And so the backpack that he was first going to go do the lock, then go back and get his backpack, there was duct tape, wire cutters, black spray paint, which he had used to graffiti the garage in April also. And then the sledgehammers. And so the police then obviously found out who the victim was and they went and talked to her and then they were like, oh, yeah, he's, we've had some problems and you know, he, we had vandalism in the garage.
Cindy Overton
It didn't happen if you don't report it.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah. And the father confirmed that the two had dated for two years, breaking up about six months ago. Of course, once learned about what the ex boyfriend had been doing, they, the father and the daughter were terrified. But I just hope that our kids are more aware of their environment and would have seen someone especially that, you know, just kind of like hanging out outside your house, stalking you. But he was arrested for aggravated stalking, attempted armed burglary, criminal mischief, possession of burglary, tools, loitering and prowling, and additional charges stemming from vandalism. And he is held without bond. And then the police body cam footage shows the deputy questioning VA host about the mask. He says, why are you covering your face? The VA host said, it's kind of cold out, it's 76 degrees.
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Sheriff Jason Arden
They've already had the next court appearance.
Cindy Overton
So I don't know what I can assure you. The reason he didn't get a bond is because the judge is like, you know, he's a continued threat to society and probably if I let him out, he's going to kill her. Right?
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
So I mean, he confessed to it all. He'll go away hopefully for a long time and not get out on bond with a piece of paper that won't stop a knife or a bullet. Right. So we had a call from Dr. Phil's people. Yeah, the. And it's about this case. And we're supposed to go. Y' all are supposed to go on and talk as an expert about covering the case. And then something else happened, I don't remember what it was. And they got off on another topic. But if you don't know, there have been 12 deaths in a region in the Northeast. Okay? So. And that includes New England. And there have been 12 deaths, unexplained deaths, y' all, in remote or wooded areas in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode island and Maine. And this is all since March. So we're talking March to April to May. So less than two months now, 12 is a lot. Yeah, 12 in the wooded areas. That's a lot even for three states. Okay. But the copsers are like, nah, it. This is not connected. The police denied a single suspect in the killings. Right. But what was everybody else doing? They're like, it's a serial killer running around. And, well, guess what happened. Another dead body. Oh, the 13th. At around 11:45am Local time on Sunday, June 1, the body of 21 year old Adriana Silazo was found in a wooded area by passerby. This is in the Norfolk district in Milton. And this is, you know, the press release was done by District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey, so they said. So as his body showed no obvious signs of trauma. And the chief of medical examiners investigating the cause of the death, well, the family members said they weren't sure why. So I was like, who grew up in Boston, had been in Milton at the time, you know, obviously at the time she was found and dead. And this is according to the Boston Globe, but one of her sisters said she had last spoken to Suaza on May 29. So that's a couple days. Right. The discovery of Salsa's body marks the 13th unexplained death in remote or wooded areas, like I told you, in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode island and Maine since March. And that's according to Fox News, of course, Me, Woody Overton included. Everybody's saying serial killer, serial killer. So let's take it back a minute. In April, they found six dead bodies in towns close to another one in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. And, and these victims included Paige Fannin, who was 35, who was found in the Norwalk river on March 6. Denise Leary, who's 59, was found in New Haven on March 21, and Michelle Romano, who's 56, who was found dead five days later. Well, you know, again, the police came out and they Were like, oh, no, no, it's not tied together. I think they're going to be eating some crow. Right. There's no reason at this point, when you got 13 dead bodies, if you have an inkling of a suspect. I understand some of them in the water in different areas, they. And it may go back to. And I hate to say this, the cops pissing on each other. Yeah, well, this is. You're not going to share my. And I've seen it, y' all. Unfortunately, to this day, I'm still dealing with it. The stupidest thing. It's. It's. It's like pride over. I'm working. I'm working this investigation. I don't want anybody else's help. It's not about you. Yeah, right. It's about. It's about protecting the public. And. And don't you think you should say something? I mean, let somebody else get killed and they. And they find out that they've been looking at Joe Blow this whole time, they're in trouble.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Can I ask you a question real quick?
Cindy Overton
Yeah.
Sheriff Jason Arden
I think you've said this in the past. When serial killers get to this point where it's just like, boom, boom, boom, one after another. They've obviously, obviously, I think, been doing it for a much longer period of time. I mean, is that the case or do they just go on a killing spree?
Cindy Overton
Could be a killing spree. Could be something to set them off. So that's, that's pure speculation. I would assume that there's a bigger chance of the person has been doing it slowly over the years and now something's really set them up. But it could just be something to set them up. I don't know. But they. They said that this investigation is in the early stages and remains active and ongoing. And there is no information at this time suggesting any connection to similar remains discoveries actually under investigation by CSP or other CT law enforcement agencies. This according to the Connecticut State Police. They told People magazine this and the police said there's no known threat to the public at this time.

Motherfucker.
Sheriff Jason Arden
You've got a murder.
Woody Overton
No, you got 13 dead bodies and.
Cindy Overton
Said any murder yet. 13 dead bodies. Notice how close they were in age range? Yeah, and I mean there's no 20 year olds getting killed. It's like 39 to 56 females and wooded areas all in the same region. I mean, what the fuck? So now Soazo's sister, male loves is her name, says she was a firecracker full of life, laughter and fierce love. And said her death has been heartbreaking. Losing her so suddenly has shattered our world. The description this on the GoFundMe page says my family is completely heartbroken trying to navigate this pain while also doing everything we can to give Adriana the property burial she needs and a send off that honors the vibrant, loving and unforgettable person she was. So now of course, authorities urging anyone who saw Soazo in the last week to call the Massachusetts state police tip line 781-830-4990. And the investigation is ongoing. You better believe they better form a task force. You're getting paid. You can get one dude from each agency I've been on them for, and one dude for me. Agency put them in together, they bring their cases, table, sit in a room, chew the fat as we call it, and come up with something.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
Say, and you know what you really need to talk to? You need to talk to your beat guys, uniform guys that they. Especially the guys that work these rural areas because they seen something. Yeah, a couple more on it. I. I think the story deserves. Would just tell a bit more about the previous murders. You mind?
Sheriff Jason Arden
No.
Cindy Overton
All right. So all the Blowing up started back in April on social media and people started posting about bodies which were turning up in small towns like Clinton. Right. Small sleepy little towns in the coastal New England states of Connecticut, Rhode island and Massachusetts. And then it blew up. Tick tock and X and all that. Right. And rightfully so. They said since early March the remains of six people. This is going back y' all have been found in towns close to one another in the three states which if I'm smart and I am and I'm going to be a serial killer I'm a d different jurisdictions that that's doing exactly what is going on now is confusing the out of them. Of course people are like got to be a serial killer. Right. I mean this is like if we had 13 bodies dumped between here and St. Francisville. Yeah, yeah. Or the Mississippi state line is two miles away from us. Right between here and Woodville and St. Francisville. No way that's a coincidence. And I, I am speculating but I think have enough street cred to do it right. So the the social media users claim the disturbing discoveries are connected. Police say they haven't found yet any links between the cases. Police are caution the public not to jump to any conclusions. I would tell people don't rush the judgment road. And Police Chief Louis Far say like grotesque and I'm sure a small town like Clinton how many homicides you think this cat's work. But given the closeness of the towns to worry all the remains are found. People are telling each other stay aware of the surroundness and report any suspicious behaviors anyway. But one person on TikTok says I live in Rhode island. This is definitely happening, definitely scary. And the places aren't far from each other. Now on March 19th human remains are found near the Colonel Ledyard Cemetery in the seaside town Groton. And the remains belong to a female between the ages of 40 and 60 were left near the cemetery in mid February. So we don't even have a name on that one. The woman may have been missing before that and her remains were found in a suitcase. In a suitcase.
Woody Overton
How the you say there's no foul play. You think she got herself inside a.
Cindy Overton
Suitcase and killed herself?
Sheriff Jason Arden
Of course.
Cindy Overton
So makes sense. The.
Woody Overton
The people who live there, I mean.
Cindy Overton
Very concerned and they became scared when they learned that the bodies of two other women recently been found in two other Connecticut towns. Norwalk in New Haven. Right? Yeah. Inside a suitcase.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
But on March 6, the remains of a woman identified as Paige Fannin is 35 of West Islip, New York were found in the Norwalk river near the abandoned Grisville Road in Norwalk. Right. That same day, March 6, a human skull was found in the woods off Route 3 in Plymouth on the Massachusetts coast. And the again this is an unknown. Authorities have not yet determined the age or gender. Weeks later, not that many weeks later on March 21, the body of a third Connecticut woman, identified as Denise Leary, 59 was found in New Haven about 40 minutes away from the wall. That's like. That's a two beer ride, right? I mean if you sir killing you drink two beers while you're looking for a place to dump them. That's according to NBC news. Now Larry was a mother of two from New Haven and she was reported missing in August. And people who were clearing brush behind their house in Rock Creek found her remains.
Woody Overton
Five days after that the body of.
Cindy Overton
A woman was found in the woods in Fort Foster, Rhode Island. And that was Michelle Romano, 56, who's reported missing from the coastal town of Warwick in August. So common thing they find them in March, that several of them have been missing in August. Right. In her death. Now listen to this. Her death has been determined to be suspicious in nature. But the cops haven't said how she died. Probably she's in a suitcase too. But anyway. But most recently like I told y' all, Wednesday, April 9, human remains were found on Woodward street in killingly appropriate name. And the connect state police told People magazine that that remains have not been identified. I said the investigation is in the early stages remains active and ongoing and there is no information at this time suggestion any connection the similar remains discoveries act under investigation. That's just bizarre.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Can they just be holding back on the public and they have somebody Absolutely.
Cindy Overton
They, they and they don't want to scare them off. That was my thought. When you get to 13 bodies you need it public safety issue.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Right.
Cindy Overton
And you know there's a lot more information on y' all. I just think it's. It's very strange. And I was asked about covering this case by Dr. Phil and the. I mean I'm gonna keep looking into it but something's going to turn up something to break the case as it almost always does. Now remember, this is going to be a preferential killer and obviously not situational who just snatches up mom because she's running through the woods and kid rapes and kills her. This cat has been getting away with it. Yeah. And I think that that makes them more bold.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
More brazen. And they're laughing. Hey, Connecticut state police and the rest of you up there this laughing at y' all.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
You take off the jurisdictional get together. Even if you just take it off and get together and prove that they're not related.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Right?
Cindy Overton
Right. That's better than not getting together and proving it.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
Other way.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
Somebody else is gonna die. Yes. I bet you other people have already died.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
All these bodies being discovered in rural wooded areas. Holy fuck. You wait till hunting season starts.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
When the woods are flooded, they're going to find another 13 bodies.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
And here we are on the way to another syrup.
Woody Overton
What do you have for us, mama?
Cindy Overton
Hey, you know what this is a week of? Father's Day.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Oh gosh.
Cindy Overton
And mo pal Richard Johnson. Well, you can't really say Mo. That Mo pal Richie would call me and say happy Mother's Day. Well, yeah, I mean you can't become.
Sheriff Jason Arden
A father without being a mother.
Cindy Overton
Yeah. Right. So tell y' all week long, Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there. Hey, hashtag justice for Bradley Stracer. He's a father. He's got a son named Oliver. He's never gonna get to celebrate Father's Day with him. So y' all continue to share that. What you got?
Sheriff Jason Arden
I got. It's a bunch of stories somewhat condensed into one big story. I see that. Happy Father's Day week. We didn't get Moms didn't get a Mother's Day week.
Cindy Overton
Sure they did.
Sheriff Jason Arden
You didn't.
Cindy Overton
We absolutely said Happy Mother's Day.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Not the week of.
Cindy Overton
I probably wouldn't think of it.
Sheriff Jason Arden
And give shout outs to all week.
Cindy Overton
Happy Mother's Day year. Ah, just trumped anything.
Woody Overton
You got Happy Mother's Day for lifetime every day.
Cindy Overton
Happy Mother's Day.
Sheriff Jason Arden
But you have to say it every day.
Cindy Overton
No, I don't.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Well then Happy Father's Day. Now I'll tell you. Happy Father's Day.
Cindy Overton
I told you I don't want anything for Father's Day. I'm gonna drink beer and swim in the pool. It's time for family matters.
Sheriff Jason Arden
So in the theme of Father's Day, we have a really horrible bad dad.
Cindy Overton
Bad dad.
Sheriff Jason Arden
His name is Travis Decker.
Cindy Overton
Right.
Sheriff Jason Arden
And so Travis Decker, he's a 32 year old army veteran who had been diagnosed with PTSD and borderline personality disorder.
Cindy Overton
Right.
Sheriff Jason Arden
So he was having issues and because of that they had him and his ex wife had a very specific visitation order to ensure the kid the his three daughters safety somewhat. So he picked up Travis, picked up his daughters for an afternoon. It was a Court order approved afternoon in Wenatchee, Washington. That's where we're at. And the little girls are Peyton, who was 9. And I say was because they're not with us anymore. Evelyn who was 8 and Olivia who was 5. Then he had them until 8 o' clock. And at 8 o' clock that night, the little girls did not go home. So the mother immediately knew something was wrong and she. She called it into the police. And they did what authorities issued as an endangered missing person alert. They didn't do an Amber alert. And they cited the father's custody status when they did that. So the girls weren't found. They didn't. Nothing ever showed up. But on June that he. They never saw him. Anything along those lines. But on June 2, there was some bodies found and hikers discovered the sisters bodies at Rock Island Campground, which was near Travis's abandoned truck. But he's still on the. Still to this day, he's on the loose. So the bodies that were found had their wrists zip tied and they had plastic bags over their head. I just told y' all they were 9, 8 and 5. What state Washington.
Cindy Overton
Does Washington state have the death penalty? Wow. Wash. In 2018, Washington was the only state with an active gallows. So they were still hanging people. But death row prisoners were able to choose if the execution would be carried out by lethal injection or hanging. And. But they've since outlawed it. You got three baby girls. Three baby girls, zip tied with plastic bags over the head.
Sheriff Jason Arden
So Shellins County Sheriff's office confirmed that obviously he was planning this during his visitation. And Travis has been charged with three counts of first degree murder, kidnapping and custodial interference. But he remains at large. Doorbell camera footage shows Travis days before the end the tragedy, walking up to a house. Yeah. Murders of his own children walking up to a house, knocking. And I oddly like sliding his hand down the door.
Cindy Overton
Probably DNA.
Sheriff Jason Arden
I don't know. Like investigators found he'd googled how to relocate to Canada three days earlier and suggesting obviously a planned escape. And then with. They say that also with his survival skills, because of his military, you know, he's a veteran. He's considered dangerous and obviously resourceful, like hiding in the wilderness regions and stuff like that. Over 100 law enforcement officers and U.S. marshals are involved in finding him. And there's a $20,000 reward in place.
Cindy Overton
I just can't believe it's only 20,000, y' all, when it, you know, so when you talk about stuff like this, it just gives me mental flashes of three babies in the car. Which one did he zip tie first? Or do you zip tie them off first and then do you do the youngest one with the bag over it and they're the bags trying to suck it in and out. They're choking it down for the other two know it's coming.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
Daddy, Daddy. Why are you doing this?
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
And this needs to die.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton

Sheriff Jason Arden
Yeah.
Cindy Overton
I don't give a how much PTSD you got.
Sheriff Jason Arden
Right.
Cindy Overton
That some needs to kill himself. Well that's not even good enough.
Sheriff Jason Arden
No. So in early September of 2024 he did seek psychiatric evaluations, counseling and anger anger management. But in April and May of this year, he canceled counseling sessions. He stopped going. He was disciplined at work and and he acted increasingly unstable. And his ex wife urged courtroom action warning he was quote brink of something really extreme.

Sheriff Jason Arden
We don't ask money from the victims families at all for anything that you do. But I want to say, unfortunately or fortunately for us, we have all the national sponsors. We have to put those in each of the inserts in the episode so that they can fill all the spots because we have that many. Like you said, we're blessed.

Episode: True Crime Time For June 9, 2025 | Travis Decker Murder Case, Stalking in Florida & Unsolved Deaths: True Crime Headlines
Release Date: June 9, 2025
Host: Cindy Overton & Sheriff Jason Arden
The episode opens with Cindy Overton addressing recent violent events in Los Angeles. Over the past two days, significant riots have erupted, leading to widespread attacks on police officers. The situation escalated to the point where the National Guard was deployed to maintain order.
Sheriff Jason Arden concurs, emphasizing the severity of the attacks and the necessity of a strong law enforcement response to protect both officers and the public.
The hosts delve into a concerning series of unexplained deaths across Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Maine. Since March, thirteen bodies have been discovered in remote or wooded areas, sparking speculation about a potential serial killer.
They provide a timeline of the discoveries:
Despite the mounting evidence, law enforcement agencies have yet to identify a suspect or confirm any connections between the cases.
Sheriff Arden expresses frustration over the lack of inter-agency collaboration, suggesting that jurisdictional barriers are hindering progress.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the harrowing case of Travis Decker, a 32-year-old Army veteran accused of murdering his three young daughters during a supervised visitation in Wenatchee, Washington.
During the visitation, Travis had custody of his three daughters: Peyton (9), Evelyn (8), and Olivia (5). When the visit concluded at 8 PM, the girls did not return home. Their bodies were later found at Rock Island Campground near Travis's abandoned truck, showing signs of restraint and suffocation.
Despite being charged with three counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping, and other related offenses, Travis Decker remains at large. A $20,000 reward is offered for information leading to his capture, a figure both hosts criticize as insufficient given the gravity of his crimes.
The case has attracted national attention, but Overton highlights the disparity in media coverage compared to high-profile cases involving celebrities.
The hosts discuss the imbalance in media attention, pointing out how cases like Travis Decker's receive minimal coverage compared to others, such as celebrities embroiled in legal issues.
They argue that true crime stories involving ordinary individuals often go unnoticed, leaving victims' families without the public support and awareness needed to seek justice.
Sheriff Arden emphasizes the importance of inter-agency cooperation in solving complex cases. He criticizes the current state for lacking unity among different law enforcement bodies, which could potentially prevent the identification and capture of suspects in multi-jurisdictional crimes.
In the episode's closing segments, Cindy Overton reiterates the importance of public vigilance and encourages listeners to report any suspicious activities. She also touches upon the emotional toll these cases take on the families involved and the broader community.
Conclusion
In this episode, Cindy Overton and Sheriff Jason Arden shed light on pressing true crime issues, from local disturbances in California to a potentially nationwide serial killer in the Northeast and the tragic case of Travis Decker. Their discussions not only highlight the complexities and challenges faced by law enforcement but also the emotional and societal impacts of these unresolved cases. The hosts call for greater public awareness, inter-agency collaboration, and equitable media coverage to ensure justice for all victims.
