On today’s episode of True Crime Time, Woody opens with updates on What Happened to Madison, Justice for Barbara Blount, and Justice for Hailey, saying he knows movement is coming and hopes this is the week. He reminds listeners that the Georgia oversight review in Hailey’s case is still pending and promises to update the Lifers as soon as there is something he can share.

For On This Day in Crime, Woody looks back at several major historical cases, including the 1913 conviction of Leo Frank, the 1967 assassination of American Nazi Party founder George Lincoln Rockwell, the escalation of the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, a deadly 1927 Florida law-enforcement shootout, and a landmark Canadian murder prosecution involving Inuit defendant Nulakock.

In F’d Up Professionals, Woody covers the arrest of Hollywood actor, director, and producer Shane Ryan Gledhill, also known professionally as Shane Ryan or Shane Ryan-Reed, who now faces 24 felony charges tied to allegations of child sexual abuse and exploitation. Investigators say he allegedly used casting calls and filmmaking projects to gain access to underage victims, and detectives believe his conduct may have spanned decades.

Then it’s Family Matters, where Woody tells the bizarre story of a Florida woman accused of biting off part of her husband’s ear during an argument while he was driving on the interstate with their two children in the car. The husband required surgery, and investigators ultimately identified the wife as the primary aggressor.

Woody also covers the guilty plea of former University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling, who admitted to manslaughter in the death of her newborn son after previously giving investigators multiple different explanations for what happened. Prosecutors are recommending a prison sentence that Woody says is far too lenient for the death of a baby who was born alive.

Another devastating case comes from Wisconsin, where a mother admitted that she turned music up louder to drown out the cries of her four-year-old son while her boyfriend allegedly beat him. The child later died, and investigators say the abuse was extensive.

In North Dakota, a 22-year-old mother faces murder and attempted murder charges after authorities say two of her young children died and a third was seriously injured. According to court documents, she allegedly threatened the children’s father before officers entered the home and found the children unresponsive.

Woody closes on a lighter note with a Tennessee middle-school football game where a 16-year-old girl ran out of the stands and leveled a player on the field, leading to her arrest and lifetime ban from the school system’s properties. That sends Woody into a side discussion about girls playing football, including the story of Hannah Mouton, a Louisiana high-school player who moved from kicker to wide receiver and even caught a touchdown pass.

Before signing off, Woody again tells the Lifers to hold on in the Madison case, saying he believes something is coming soon and that the community’s persistence has mattered.

• Positions of authority and access, including entertainment and casting environments, can be exploited by predators, which is why reporting and survivor testimony are so important.
• Family violence can escalate in shocking and unpredictable ways, and children are often the most vulnerable people caught in the middle.
• The Wisconsin and North Dakota cases underscore how devastating it can be when adults fail to protect children from abuse or become the source of that danger themselves.
• The final football story gives the episode a rare lighter ending, with Woody reflecting on how much girls’ participation in traditionally male sports has changed over time.
