Real Life Real Crime | Monsters Part 3: Autopsy & A New Suspect Reboot

In this gripping third episode of 'Monsters,' host Woody Overton continues his deep dive into a harrowing homicide case involving the brutal murder of an 82-year-old woman in Livingston Parish, Louisiana. With the suspect—a missing son-in-law—seen at a Walmart in Mississippi just hours after the crime, the investigation intensifies. Woody recounts the grueling autopsy process at a makeshift facility behind Seals Funeral Home, where pathologist Dr. Corkin delivers a chilling verdict: the victim suffered one of the most severe head traumas he’d ever seen, with over 30 skull fractures and a fatal contact gunshot wound to the back of the head. The discovery of a .22 long shell casing and unspent .22 short rounds at the scene adds complexity, suggesting the use of a rifle and possible staged evidence. As detectives pursue leads, Woody reveals a pivotal moment when he begins to suspect the victim’s granddaughter—not the missing son-in-law—after noticing her unusual behavior, including keeping her hands tucked under her arms despite warm weather. Though she denies involvement, her evasiveness and the gut instinct of the investigators shift focus toward her, setting up a shocking twist in the next episode. The episode closes with Woody emphasizing the importance of organ donation through LOPA.org and expressing gratitude to his audience ahead of Thanksgiving.
