Cyndi Overton examines the mysterious disappearance of 22-year-old Kristen Mon Holliday, a Texas mother who vanished following a vehicle crash on Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin Bridge. Her abandoned BMW was discovered near the Whiskey Bay exit on Interstate 10, but Kristen was nowhere to be found. Although investigators believe she left the crash scene on foot, her family questions that account and fears something more sinister may have happened. Cyndi explores the timeline, conflicting concerns, extensive search efforts and unanswered questions surrounding Kristen's disappearance.

The episode also revisits the Gabby Petito murder investigation, marking five years since Brian Laundrie's remains were discovered in Florida.

In Family Matters, Cyndi covers the murder of a Vermont mother allegedly beaten with a flashlight in front of children, and a heartbreaking Baton Rouge crash that killed engaged couple Leah Fonte and Shane Hurstius, who were planning their wedding. She also discusses a vehicle that drove through a youth soccer game in Wichita, Kansas, killing two people and injuring others.

In Worldwide Crime, a five-year-old boy's death in Australia raises disturbing questions after investigators discover that children in the household had reportedly been restrained inside sleeping bags with duct tape.

Woody Overton revisits one of New Orleans' most disturbing murder-suicides: the 2006 killing of Addie Hall by her boyfriend, Iraq War veteran Zachary Bowen. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the couple remained in the French Quarter, where their increasingly troubled relationship ended in tragedy. Woody examines the horrifying discovery inside their apartment, Bowen's confession and suicide, and the lasting fascination surrounding the case.

In Oregon, Woody discusses reports of a devastating elementary school shooting that left three children and an adult dead, with an armed bystander reportedly stopping the teenage gunman. He also examines an unusual Texas sentencing decision in the drunk-driving death of 19-year-old Honor Wallace, whose convicted killer was ordered to return to jail annually during probation.

The episode closes with an update on a disturbing Philadelphia investigation involving seven missing women, as police and FBI investigators continue searching a property for potential evidence. Woody also revisits the Mississippi Burning civil rights murders, the Zebra killings, and the importance of accountability in criminal investigations.

The murder of Addie Hall remains one of New Orleans' most haunting crimes. Against the backdrop of Hurricane Katrina's destruction, her relationship with Zachary Bowen ended in a horrific act of violence. The case is a reminder that behind sensational headlines was a woman whose life was taken.

The reported Oregon school shooting underscores the devastating consequences of violence in places where children should feel safe. Woody discusses the response of law enforcement, school staff and an armed community member, while remembering the families affected by the tragedy.

Sentencing can extend accountability beyond prison. In the Honor Wallace case, the judge's unusual requirement that the convicted driver return to jail each year during probation demonstrates one approach to ensuring that the consequences of a fatal decision are not forgotten.

The Philadelphia investigation remains ongoing. Although investigators have reportedly uncovered disturbing evidence connected to missing women, the full circumstances have not been established. Woody emphasizes the need for thorough investigative work and answers for the families.

Never give up, never surrender.

Woody Overton revisits the terrifying crimes of the Hillside Stranglers, cousins Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono, who abducted, sexually assaulted and murdered ten young women and girls in Los Angeles during the late 1970s. Their victims were left on hillsides, and the investigation eventually unraveled after Bianchi committed two additional murders in Washington. Woody examines how the killers were caught, their sentences and the victims whose lives were taken.

The episode also explores the 1931 tax-evasion conviction of Al Capone, a forensic breakthrough in the 2002 D.C. sniper investigation, and the brutal history of execution by hanging, drawing and quartering.

Woody then turns to the controversial case of Christa Pike, a Tennessee death-row inmate who survived a failed lethal-injection attempt. He discusses the reported medical complications, confusion surrounding emergency calls from the prison, and the legal questions raised by the state's decision to suspend further executions. Throughout the episode, Woody returns to the suffering of Pike's victim, Colleen Slemmer, and the importance of remembering victims when discussing capital punishment.

• Emergency-response confusion and 911 calls from the Tennessee prison
• Colleen Slemmer's murder and the debate over capital punishment

The Hillside Stranglers case highlights the devastating consequences of serial violence and the unequal attention victims sometimes receive. Woody examines how the murders of vulnerable women initially drew less public attention and how the investigation ultimately connected two killers operating across state lines.

Christa Pike's case raises serious questions about execution procedures and emergency preparedness. The episode describes a reported failed execution, delays and confusion involving emergency responders, and the resulting debate over whether another execution attempt would be legally permissible.

The victims must remain central to the conversation. While execution procedures and prisoners' rights generate controversy, Woody emphasizes the suffering of Colleen Slemmer and her loved ones, reminding listeners that the original crime should never be forgotten.

Woody Overton revisits two notorious October 16 crimes: the 1931 Trunk Murders, when Winnie Ruth Judd killed two friends and attempted to transport their remains in suitcases, and the 1991 Luby's Cafeteria massacre in Killeen, Texas, where 23 people were murdered and 27 others injured. Woody also explores the execution of Marie Antoinette, John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, and the history of the guillotine.

In today's headlines, a 70-year-old man survives an unprovoked box-cutter attack inside a Florida Publix, and an Ocala man faces serious child exploitation charges. In North Carolina, Levi Pham and James Salerno receive life sentences for the horrific murder of 20-year-old Mary Collins, who was stabbed approximately 130 times and concealed inside a mattress.

In Family Matters, Woody examines the murder of Alberta Dell, whose former boyfriend pleaded guilty after her dismembered remains were discovered in a suitcase, despite an active order of protection. The episode also covers the fatal beating of Lawrence Parente outside a New York adult store and closes with Woody's reflections on the importance of experienced prosecutors and the upcoming district attorney election in Louisiana's 20th Judicial District.

Mary Collins' murder is a devastating example of extreme violence against a vulnerable victim. The 20-year-old was lured into an apartment, restrained, sexually assaulted and repeatedly stabbed. Two men received life sentences without parole, bringing a measure of accountability to her grieving family.

Alberta Dell's case exposes the danger of escalating domestic violence. She had ended her relationship with Damon Foy and had an active protective order when she was murdered. Her case raises urgent questions about how victims can be protected when threats continue despite court intervention.

Justice is about real people, not just criminal charges. From the families affected by the Luby's massacre to those still waiting for answers in ongoing investigations, Woody emphasizes the lasting pain experienced by victims' loved ones and the importance of holding offenders accountable.

Never give up, never surrender.

Woody Overton revisits one of Utah's most horrific crimes: the 1974 Hi-Fi Shop murders in Ogden. Five innocent people were taken hostage during a robbery, tortured and forced to drink drain cleaner. Three were murdered, and two survived with devastating injuries. Woody examines the crime, the convictions of Dale Selby Pierre and William Andrews, their eventual executions, and the controversial sentence of getaway driver Keith Roberts.

In Florida, James Robertson is executed after admitting he deliberately murdered his sleeping cellmate, Frank Hart, because he wanted to be transferred to death row. Woody explores the disturbing circumstances behind Robertson's decision and the debate surrounding capital punishment. He also discusses reports that Sean "Diddy" Combs suffered a head injury while incarcerated, along with allegations that the music mogul has received preferential treatment behind bars.

The episode begins with a reminder that justice remains the mission, including ongoing efforts to find answers for Hailey Johnson and Madison Renee Allen.

• James Robertson's execution after deliberately murdering cellmate Frank Hart
• Debate over capital punishment and prison conditions

The Hi-Fi Shop murders remain a devastating example of calculated violence. Three victims lost their lives, two survived with permanent injuries, and the case continues to raise questions about accountability, punishment and justice.

James Robertson's case presents an unusual death-penalty controversy. He admitted killing Frank Hart specifically to obtain a death sentence and different prison conditions, raising questions about whether capital punishment can deter someone who actively seeks it.

Celebrity status does not eliminate scrutiny behind bars. Reports concerning Sean Combs' injury and alleged privileges have attracted attention, although the circumstances of his injury remain unconfirmed. Woody offers his personal suspicions, which are not established facts.

Justice remains the priority. Woody reminds Lifers that information can make a difference in ongoing investigations. Anyone with information is encouraged to call 313-RLRC-TIP.

Cyndi Overton takes listeners back to the Amityville murders, where Ronald DeFeo Jr. killed his parents and four siblings in 1974. As his murder trial began on October 14, 1975, the case would eventually become the inspiration for countless horror movies and stories of hauntings. But Cyndi explores something often overlooked: the real victims, the families left behind, and the lasting pain of watching personal tragedies become entertainment.

Today's headlines include a Florida death-row inmate who admitted killing his cellmate because he wanted to be executed, and a disturbing California investigation involving 21 children, many born through surrogacy, whose parents face charges related to alleged abuse. Cyndi also covers new developments in the Baby Angelita investigation, concerns about a possible serial killer in Michigan, and a series of school stabbings prompting retailers in Poland to remove certain Halloween products.

Some investigations raise more questions than answers. The California child-abuse allegations, Baby Angelita case and Michigan deaths remain sensitive investigations requiring careful attention to evidence and due process.

Every story matters. Cyndi reflects on the strength of victims' families, particularly those who choose to share their experiences to help others, and the importance of preserving their stories with compassion and respect.

Woody Overton opens with an update on #JusticeForMadison before revisiting the chilling Clear Lake murders, where Christine Paolilla and her boyfriend killed four people inside a Texas home. What began as a planned robbery ended in a quadruple homicide, and an anonymous tip eventually helped investigators uncover the truth.

In Florida, Tony Wiggins receives multiple life sentences for the murders of three friends who were preparing for a night of fishing. Then, two decades-old cold cases reach major milestones through DNA evidence: a jury recommends the death penalty for Jeffrey Crum in the 1993 murder of 12-year-old Jennifer Odom, while James Unick receives life without parole for the 1982 murder of 13-year-old Sarah Geer. Woody also remembers Lauren McCluskey and Angela Samota, whose cases highlight the devastating consequences of violence against women.

Tips can change everything. An anonymous tip helped break open the Clear Lake murders, reinforcing Woody's continuing message to the Lifers: Never give up, never surrender.

Justice may take decades, but the victims are not forgotten. From the families of three murdered fishing companions to those who waited more than 40 years for answers, this episode focuses on accountability and the lasting impact of violent crime.

Woody Overton opens with the Colonial Parkway murders, a series of killings and disappearances that haunted Virginia for decades. Advances in forensic DNA testing have linked deceased fisherman Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. to multiple victims, although questions remain in some cases. Woody also revisits October 12 true-crime history, including the USS Cole bombing, the Bali nightclub bombings, Matthew Shepard's murder and John Dillinger's jailbreak.

In Texas, John Allen Rubio has been found competent to face execution for the murders of three young children. In Family Matters, Woody examines the disturbing investigation into newborn Baby Angelita, found dead along a California roadway amid allegations of incest involving a teenage girl and her father. He also covers the murder of Jasmine Garcia, whose husband allegedly beat her to death in front of their child, and a bizarre Wisconsin incident involving a man climbing out of a manhole and attacking a shuttle driver.

The Colonial Parkway cases demonstrate how preserved forensic evidence can provide answers decades after a crime, even when a suspect has died. However, not every case discussed has been conclusively linked to the same person, and some victims remain missing.

The Baby Angelita investigation involves serious allegations of sexual abuse and the death of a newborn. Authorities identified the teenage mother's father as the baby's biological father, but the episode reports that no homicide charges had been filed in connection with the infant's death at the time.

Woody Overton opens with an update on #JusticeForMadison, including the postponement of Thomas Morris’s arraignment to October 29. He then revisits the murder of Q.C. Chadwick, whose millionaire husband fled to Mexico while awaiting trial and remained a fugitive for years before his capture.

The episode also examines the death of four-year-old Autumn Fox, whose caregiver faces a possible death-penalty trial in Georgia, and a Florida Keys fugitive captured in Mexico after fleeing during jury deliberations. In Michigan, police investigate whether five deaths along Lansing’s River Trail could be connected to a serial killer. Woody also addresses disturbing body-camera footage surrounding the fatal police shooting of 19-year-old Savion McConnell in Missouri.

• Investigators examining a possible serial-killer connection
• Savion McConnell’s fatal police shooting and released body-camera footage
• October 10 true-crime history, including Baby Face Nelson and Pam Hupp

The Lansing River Trail investigation raises serious concerns about a possible pattern involving five deaths, several with traumatic injuries. Police are investigating potential connections but have not established that a serial killer is responsible. One suspect has been charged in an individual homicide.

The Savion McConnell case highlights questions about police conduct, use of force and accountability after footage emerged of an officer making a racially derogatory remark before another officer fatally shot the unarmed teenager. Prosecutors declined to file criminal charges against the shooting officer.

Woody also reinforces his ongoing message to the Lifers: Never give up, never surrender. Anyone with information about Madison Renee Allen or Stephanie Hevia is encouraged to contact the West Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office or call 313-RLRC-TIP.
