On today's episode of True Crime Time, Woody opens with updates on both What Happened to Madison and Justice for Hailey, thanking the Real Life Real Crime community for continuing to submit tips, make phone calls, and send emails. He reminds listeners that progress is being made in both cases and encourages everyone to keep the momentum going because every piece of information matters.
Today's stories include:
- A look back at the 1984 unsolved murders of Darlene and Melissa Hulse, reminding listeners that investigators continue searching for answers more than four decades later.
- Three executions carried out on the same day in Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Alabama, including the execution of convicted child rapist and murderer Jeremy Williams, who requested that his appeals end so his victim's family could have closure.
- A former NYPD officer convicted under New York City's post-George Floyd chokehold law after a jury found him guilty of felony strangulation and assault during an arrest.
- A horrifying case from England where a father was kidnapped by men posing as police officers, tortured, doused with gasoline, and set on fire before dying months later from his injuries.
- An Assumption Parish, Louisiana, man arrested after allegedly threatening witnesses and disrupting proceedings outside his brother's criminal trial.
- Florida's Supreme Court clearing the way for the execution of William Francis Sylvia Jr., convicted of murdering his estranged wife and attempting to kill his mother-in-law with a shotgun.
- A Pennsylvania man accused of grabbing a sleeping child from a shopping cart and violently throwing the child during a disturbance at Walmart.
- A sprawling federal investigation involving a convicted felon found with fake DEA credentials, firearms, drugs, and disturbing digital evidence that investigators believe may document the deaths of two women who have been missing for years.
Woody closes by reflecting on the importance of thorough investigations, explaining how digital evidence often takes months to analyze but can ultimately become the key to solving long-unsolved crimes. He reminds listeners that patience, persistence, and doing the job correctly are essential to bringing justice for victims.

- Woody leaves listeners with one of his core investigative philosophies: "Do a job, big or small, do it right or not at all."
