**1. Fraudulent Attorney Sarah Jacqueline King
The episode opens with a detailed account of Sarah Jacqueline King, a 41-year-old attorney from Newport Beach, California, who perpetrated a significant fraud scheme. King operated under her business name, King Family Lending LLC, purportedly offering short-term loans to high-net-worth individuals, including celebrities and athletes, secured by their personal assets.
- Woody Overton [03:04]: "She recruited investors... but it was all a fraud."
For one year, from January 2022 to January 2023, King borrowed approximately $10.2 million through 97 fraudulent loans. Instead of funding legitimate loans, she used the investors' funds to sustain her extravagant lifestyle, including gambling at Las Vegas casinos.
- Woody Overton [07:09]: "She’s going to prison for 21 months and ordered to pay back nearly $9 million."
King was sentenced on May 5, 2025, receiving 21 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and money laundering. Additionally, she was mandated to repay the defrauded amount, a restitution that is unlikely to be fully recovered.
2. Ding-Dong Ditch Incident in Spotsylvania County, Virginia
Next, the Overtons discuss a tragic incident resulting from a seemingly harmless prank. On May 3, 2024, 18-year-old Michael Bosworth Jr., a senior at Massaponax High School, was fatally shot by homeowner Tyler Chase Butler during a late-night ding-dong ditch prank.
- Cindy Overton [10:06]: "They were engaging in a social media trend known as ding dong ditch."
The teenagers were following a social media trend, ringing doorbells and fleeing, recording their antics for platforms like TikTok. However, Butler perceived their actions as a potential break-in threat and responded with deadly force, killing Bosworth and critically injuring another teen.
- Woody Overton [07:09]: "The homeowner believed his home was under threat and acted accordingly."
Butler was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, malicious wounding, and multiple counts of firearm-related felonies. He remains held without bond at Rappahannock Regional Jail.
3. Cold Case: Michael Schlitz Found Dead Near New Hampshire State Prison
The episode shifts focus to the discovery of Michael Schlitz, a convicted sex offender who had been on parole until he went missing. In October 2023, Schlitz was reported as a fugitive after violating his parole terms.
- Woody Overton [14:14]: "They found his remains... skeletal remains across the street from the state prison."
On April 21, human remains identified as Schlitz's were discovered in a shed near the New Hampshire State Prison. The condition of the skeleton suggests the remains had been there for years, though the exact cause of death remains undetermined. This case raises questions about whether Schlitz was targeted due to his past crimes.
4. Prom Night Tragedy in Ireland
A heartbreaking story from Ireland is recounted, where two teenage girls lost their lives in a car crash en route to their prom. On July 31, 2023, Anthony McGill, a 61-year-old driver, was transporting 17-year-old Kira McCann and 16-year-old Dalva Muhammad at a high speed of 75 miles per hour in wet conditions. The vehicle collided with a tree, resulting in the immediate deaths of both girls.
- Woody Overton [27:33]: "These two girls were robbed of their lives and laid side by side holding hands."
Dash cam footage revealed that McGill was speeding on a rainy night, ultimately pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing death and seriously bodily harm. His actions not only shattered the lives of the victims' families but also highlighted the severe consequences of reckless driving.
5. Jacksonville Family Massacre
In a particularly somber segment, the Overtons discuss the gruesome case of Iris Williams from Jacksonville, Florida. On October 17, 2023, Williams murdered her boyfriend, Charles Watkins, his brother Thomas Harris, and their young child Riley during a nighttime altercation.
- Cindy Overton [30:25]: "Thomas Harris, in his final moments, uttered, 'She shot me.'"
Williams shot Thomas Harris in the early hours, leading to his death. She then held the family's mother captive, forcing her to drive to a motel where she confessed to murdering Charles Watkins. Williams was subsequently arrested and found guilty of multiple counts, including second-degree murder and kidnapping. She now faces life imprisonment.
6. David Coutts: Nurse Practitioner Turned Perpetrator
One of the most disturbing cases covered is that of David Coutts, a 43-year-old nurse practitioner from Gig Harbor, Washington. Charged with second-degree assault, third-degree rape, and tampering with a witness, Coutts exploited his medical position to abuse patients.
- Woody Overton [33:18]: "He prescribed himself pills and slipped them into the woman's body during sex."
Despite his criminal charges, Coutts recently obtained an esthetician license, raising concerns about regulatory oversight and the safety of the community. The Overtons express frustration over his ability to continue posing a threat even after multiple violations and a removal of his ankle monitor.
- Woody Overton [39:07]: "He can remove his ankle monitor and start a new business, leaving the victim without protection."
The hosts highlight the systemic failures that allow individuals like Coutts to exploit their professional credentials while evading effective monitoring and accountability.
