On today’s episode of True Crime Time, Woody opens with updates on What Happened to Madison and Justice for Hailey. He says the Madison case is actively being worked and asks listeners to keep sending information. In Hailey’s case, Woody confirms that the Georgia oversight committee has the case and is reviewing it, but stresses that this is not the time to stop. He asks listeners to continue contacting the media, the governor’s office, and the district attorney’s office to keep the pressure on.
For On This Day in Crime, Woody looks back at the August 20, 1986, Edmond, Oklahoma, post office massacre. Postal worker Patrick Henry Sherrill opened fire on coworkers, killing 14 people and wounding others before taking his own life—an attack widely associated with the origin of the phrase “going postal.”
In Family Matters, Woody follows the Massachusetts trial of Lindsay Clancy, who admits killing her three young children in 2023. Prosecutors presented digital forensic evidence showing searches involving depression, suicidal ideation, postpartum psychosis, and medications in the days before the killings. Her defense argues that severe postpartum mental illness left her without criminal responsibility. Woody discusses the difficult questions surrounding mental illness, intent, and accountability as the case moves toward the jury.
Across the pond, a convicted murderer who refuses to reveal where he left the body of his estranged wife, Linda Razzell, remains behind bars after a High Court judge overturned a decision that could have led to his release. Woody discusses the UK’s Helen’s Law, designed to make parole more difficult for killers who refuse to disclose the location of their victims’ remains, and connects it to families still waiting to bring their own loved ones home.
Then it’s a definite Dumb Dumb in the Court out of Polk County, Florida. A 21-year-old man returned to the sheriff’s office to retrieve a legally owned handgun that deputies had stored after an earlier arrest. There was just one problem: before handing back the gun, deputies ran a routine check and discovered he now had an active felony warrant. Instead of leaving with his Glock, he left in handcuffs.
Woody also covers the disturbing murder of 76-year-old pastor Billy Shoneman, who was killed in what authorities described as a crucifixion-style attack. The killer admitted he intended to target additional religious leaders across multiple states and ultimately received consecutive sentences after accepting a plea agreement that removed the death penalty.
Another Family Matters case takes the episode to Hollywood, Florida, where two young parents are charged in connection with the death of their seven-week-old daughter. Investigators say the infant suffered skull fractures, retinal hemorrhaging, spinal hemorrhaging and traumatic brain injury consistent with blunt-force trauma and violent shaking. Police also allege the parents’ phones showed repeated Call of Duty and YouTube activity during the period they claimed they were monitoring the baby through FaceTime. The child’s death was ruled a homicide.
In another Florida case, 56-year-old Daryl Hill had just dropped his 10-year-old daughter off for her first day of school and was riding his bicycle home when he stopped to intervene in an argument following a vehicle crash. Authorities say Hill tried to help—and was ultimately shot and killed.
The episode also examines a devastating Kansas murder-suicide in which police say a father called 911 after killing his partner and their four children before taking his own life; a Houston shooting involving five masked suspects and approximately 20 gunshots; and a new manslaughter case involving an inmate at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. Woody uses the Angola case to explain how serious crimes committed inside prison can result in new outside criminal charges—even for someone already serving life.
Woody closes by thanking the Lifers, Patrons and Convicts and says he has reason to believe that movement is coming in cases the RLRC community has helped support. While there are things he cannot yet share, his message is clear: keep going, because something may be about to give.

- Digital evidence can become crucial in determining a defendant’s state of mind and timeline, as demonstrated by the searches and phone activity presented during the Lindsay Clancy trial.
- Families whose loved ones’ remains have never been recovered face an additional kind of suffering, which is why laws such as Helen’s Law consider a killer’s refusal to disclose a victim’s location when determining parole.
- Sometimes trying to help a stranger carries unimaginable consequences, as illustrated by Daryl Hill’s death after authorities say he stopped to intervene in a confrontation.
- Being incarcerated does not prevent someone from facing prosecution for a new crime committed inside prison.
- Most importantly for the RLRC community, Woody says What Happened to Madison is being actively worked and the Justice for Hailey complaint is before the Georgia oversight committee. He asks everyone to keep calling, emailing, sharing, and applying respectful pressure.
