Part 3 of the Monsters series continues the Holy Week re-release, bringing listeners deeper into the investigation. Woody details the autopsy process and the critical role it plays in confirming cause of death, documenting injuries, and collecting forensic evidence.

The findings reveal extreme trauma and confirm that the victim suffered both severe physical assault and a fatal gunshot wound. These details further establish the brutality of the crime and the likelihood of a calculated act rather than a random attack.

As detectives continue their investigation, they begin building legal grounds to locate the missing suspect through warrants and evidence collection. However, a separate interaction with a family member introduces new suspicions, shifting attention and adding another layer of complexity to the case.

Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Part 2 of the Monsters series continues the Holy Week re-release of this raw and unedited case. Woody describes the step-by-step process of documenting and processing a homicide scene, emphasizing the importance of photographing, collecting, and preserving every piece of evidence.

Inside the home, investigators uncover multiple key details, including blood patterns indicating repeated violence, a partially burned condom wrapper, cocaine on a table, and a gun cabinet that has been emptied. These findings raise immediate questions about motive, suspects, and whether the scene was altered after the attack.

As interviews begin, conflicting statements and emotional reactions from family members add complexity to the case. When a witness reports seeing a key individual in Mississippi shortly after the murder, investigators begin focusing their efforts on tracking his movements and uncovering the truth.

Listener discretion is strongly advised.

This Holy Week, Real Life Real Crime goes old school with the re-release of Monsters, a raw and unedited series that longtime Lifers may remember and newer listeners may be hearing for the first time. Woody explains why this week matters personally to him and why this series is being brought back during one of the slowest weeks in podcasting. This is the original RAW and UNEDITED audio.

In Part 1, Woody takes listeners back to November 15, 2006, when he was called to a home in Watson, Louisiana, while working as a detective with the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office. What he found inside would become one of the most haunting crime scenes of his career. As he describes the layout of the house, the overwhelming amount of blood, and the first steps of the investigation, it becomes clear this case is unlike anything most listeners have ever heard.

This episode also includes Woody’s original updates from that time period, including mentions of ongoing justice efforts and announcements that were part of the original release. Because this is a re-release, those references remain as part of the raw episode audio.

Listener discretion is strongly advised.
