True Crime Time For April 9, 2026 | Texas Grave Robber, Easter Egg Skull Discovery, Cooking Critique Turns Deadly

In this episode of Real Life Real Crime, hosts Woody and Cindy Overton return live with a gripping mix of true crime stories from across the U.S. and abroad. The episode opens with a chilling case from Denton, Texas, where 41-year-old Michael Chadwick Frye faces felony charges for stealing human remains from cemeteries, including a skull he posted online and threw over the fence at the FBI's Dallas office—making it one of the most brazen acts of desecration in recent memory. The episode then shifts to international horror with the premeditated massacre of four preschoolers in Kampala, Uganda, by a man who infiltrated the daycare under false pretenses. In Long Beach, California, a skull discovered during an Easter egg hunt raises fears of a cold case, while a disturbingly similar story unfolds in San Bernardino, where a woman murdered her boyfriend after he criticized her cooking—then hid his body beneath a concrete staircase for eight years. The episode also covers a Walmart employee in Conway, Arkansas, killed by a man who claimed he was defending himself from a demon, and a Baltimore mother who repaid $30 stolen from her son’s food truck tip jar, showing a rare moment of accountability. Other stories include a seven-month-old baby killed by a stray bullet in Brooklyn, a former Jeopardy! champion charged with installing hidden cameras, and a mother in Baton Rouge who physically confronted her son on live TV after he caused a public disturbance. Throughout, the hosts emphasize the power of public tips and the importance of never giving up on missing persons cases, especially #JustForMadison.
