In this episode of Real Life Real Crime, retired homicide detective Woody Overton provides an update on two ongoing investigations that continue to impact families and communities — Justice for Hailey and Justice for Bradley.

Woody addresses the most common questions listeners are asking, including what new information has surfaced, what remains unanswered, and where each case currently stands. From a law enforcement perspective, he explains what investigators can and cannot discuss publicly, why cases sometimes move slowly, and what progress looks like behind the scenes.

This episode also explores the role of district attorneys, the emotional toll these cases take on victims’ families, and why continued public awareness and community support still matter. The goal is to clarify facts, correct misinformation, and keep the focus on accountability and justice for the victims.
