In this episode of True Crime Time For, Woody Overton covers one of the wildest collections of stories yet β including a woman convicted after throwing a lit stick of dynamite at her sleeping boyfriend, multiple cold case breakthroughs, child predator arrests, and a horrific family murder case.
Woody opens the show by reminding listeners to continue sharing:
π #WhatHappenedToMadison

He also discusses the upcoming Real Life Real Crime Live Show in July and encourages listeners to secure tickets before the event sells out.

- A second cold case breakthrough involving a man arrested in the Philippines decades after abducting and sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl in Florida
- A man exonerated after spending 25 years in prison for a murder conviction prosecutors allegedly supported with withheld evidence and questionable witness payments
- A Wisconsin road rage confrontation that escalated into a stabbing after a driver allegedly failed to use his turn signal
- A Connecticut father who pled guilty after beating his 12-year-old son to death with a baseball bat and attempting to kill his teenage daughter
