In this episode of True Crime Time For, Woody Overton kicks off Memorial Day weekend talking violent crime, viral mob chaos, serial killers, predator cops, and why Memorial Day is really about honoring the heroes who never made it home.

Woody also gives updates on:

👉 #WhatHappenedToMadison

👉 Justice for Barbara Blount

👉 Bradley Strayhand

👉 Austin Aubin

Woody talks about a new tip coming in on Madison’s case and urges anyone with information — especially people “from the other side” — to stop being afraid and come forward.

“This Day in History” focuses on infamous serial killer Richard Cottingham, also known as the New York Ripper, who murdered, mutilated, decapitated, and burned multiple women before finally being arrested in 1980. Woody also reacts to Cottingham confessing to another murder decades later just to keep his name relevant.

Additional stories include:

• A violent “teen takeover” mob swarming a New Jersey shore town, leading to fights, assaults, property damage, emergency curfews, and more than 100 officers responding
• Woody discussing how these social media-organized gatherings are becoming increasingly dangerous nationwide
• Sugar Ray Leonard’s son being arrested after allegedly violating a restraining order at the boxing legend’s California home
• A Houston jewelry store owner and manager accused of selling counterfeit Rolex watches and fake luxury jewelry to customers
• Woody explaining how scammers use fake jewelry, replica watches, and fraudulent returns to target both stores and buyers
• A former Detroit police officer accused of raping multiple women and teenage girls between 1999 and 2003 before DNA evidence finally linked him to the crimes decades later
• Several victims emotionally testifying about having guns held to their heads while the former officer allegedly raped them on their way to school or work
• Woody explaining why victims often fear they will be murdered during sexual assaults and why cold cases should never stop being investigated
• A Missouri man sentenced to life in prison after decapitating his own mother while high on methamphetamine before allegedly attempting to eat his written confession

Woody closes the episode reminding listeners that Memorial Day is not just another long weekend — it’s about honoring the people who gave everything defending this country.
