In this episode of True Crime Time, Cyndi Overton examines multiple true crime stories that reflect both historical injustice and modern criminal behavior.

The episode begins with the case of Carla Walker, a historic murder that saw renewed attention due to advancements in DNA technology. The case demonstrates how forensic science continues to transform cold case investigations and bring long-awaited answers to victims’ families.

Cyndi then discusses the cultural context of President’s Day and Mardi Gras, noting how public celebrations and holidays often intersect with crime trends and community safety concerns.

Several domestic violence cases are examined, highlighting how family disputes can escalate into devastating outcomes. The episode also addresses growing concerns about child exploitation, including individuals living double lives while engaging in criminal conduct.

The discussion shifts to the important role of service animals, particularly in cases where trained dogs assist law enforcement or support vulnerable individuals. One powerful example includes a dog helping authorities locate a missing child.

The episode also covers a disturbing mother-daughter conspiracy to commit murder, legal consequences for educator misconduct, and an attempted murder-suicide case in Alabama. Throughout the episode, Cyndi reinforces the importance of awareness, community support, and continued advocacy for victims.
