• Woody’s Commentary: Woody praises the parents for doing the right thing, emphasizing how rare and admirable their actions are today.
• Juvenile Justice: The boys now face burglary, trespassing, theft, and criminal mischief charges.
• Notable Quote:

  “Kudos to the moms...if my youngest son gets called on some tape like that, I’m calling it in...if you’re gonna be an ass and do that, then I’m calling it in.”

[23:47 – 37:42]

• The Disappearance: Four-year-old Gus Lamont vanishes from his family’s remote sheep farm in South Australia.

  • Family is cooperating fully.
• Woody’s Take:

  “I do not believe a four year old vanishes in the thin air in the middle of the desert in South Australia. But pretty crazy and I think he’s going to end up—I hope it’s not nefarious...”

Summary & Flow

Woody Overton stands out this episode for his relentless bluntness, storytelling wit, and reminders that every statistic is a real person. He covers:

• Absurd juvenile crime and the rare parents who still hold their kids to account.
• The devastation violence leaves on families—even when “intent to kill” isn’t there.
• The agony of a vanished child, and hard lessons from prior cases.
• A slice of beat-cop wisdom on why it never pays to assault the police—especially while drunk.
• And a withering dismissal of a notorious killer’s prison complaints, redirecting the audience’s focus to the suffering of the real, innocent victims.

Throughout, Woody’s tone is irreverent but rooted in hard-won experience—and unsparing about where justice needs to be served.

Cyndi Overton (Woody’s wife and usual co-host) was absent this episode, but Woody assures listeners she’ll return in the next show.
