Podcast: Real Life Real Crime
Published On: Mon Mar 30 2026
Description: 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.Episode Chapters00:00 Opening warning and Holy Week introduction 02:00 Why Woody is re-releasing the Monsters series 04:30 Recognition of RLRC listeners and podcast award mention 07:15 Warning about the severity of the case 09:30 November 15, 2006: the pager call comes in 13:00 Arrival at the Watson crime scene 17:00 Clearing the home and first observations 24:00 Description of the victim and blood evidence 32:00 Detectives process the scene and await crime lab 40:00 Interview with the victim’s daughter 49:00 Crime lab arrives and the investigation deepens 54:00 Original episode announcements and case updates End Closing and teaser for the next partReal Life Real Crime, Woody Overton, Monsters series, Watson Louisiana, Livingston Parish, homicide investigation, Louisiana true crime, violent crime, sheriff’s office, detective story, crime scene investigation, Holy Week re-release, raw true crime, murder caseInvestigative Producer: Leah MarieOur Sponsors:* Check out Hers: https://forhers.com/rlrc* Check out Mood and use my code RLRC for a great deal: https://mood.com* If you’re struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.
