In this emotional and wide-ranging episode of True Crime Time For, Woody Overton covers heartbreaking local tragedies, violent family crimes, predator stings, and disturbing cases involving children and abuse.

Woody begins by honoring beloved Livingston Parish crossing guard Katie Wells, who was struck and killed while helping children safely cross the road outside Grays Creek Elementary School in Denham Springs. Authorities say the driver, Darren Guitrau, was intoxicated at the time and has now been charged with vehicular homicide and second-offense DWI. Woody reflects on Wells’ decades of service to the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office and school system and calls the tragedy senseless and preventable.

The episode also revisits:

  • A Georgia man accused of attacking his pregnant girlfriend, allegedly stating “I need to kill the baby” before choking her with her own clothing
  • A Florida undercover child predator operation that arrested 19 suspects, including a longtime Santa Claus impersonator and preacher accused of attempting to arrange sex with a 13-year-old girl
  • A Louisiana mother whose confession to killing her child was ruled admissible after she admitted the crime on live television while being booked into jail
  • A Fort Worth strip club dancer accused of setting up a man for robbery before he was murdered outside her apartment complex
  • A French teenager facing prison time in Singapore after filming himself licking straws and returning them to a vending machine for social media attention
  • A murder-for-hire plot in Texas where hired killers stalked and shot the wrong man over a decade-old affair grievance
  • A tragic Tennessee case where a foster grandmother was charged after leaving a 7-month-old baby inside a vehicle for nearly eight hours
