True Crime Time For September 15, 2026 | A Daughter’s Murder Plot, a Deadly Stray Bullet & a Mother Accused

Woody Overton revisits the terrifying 2002 D.C. sniper attacks, when John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo randomly shot people throughout the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. On October 24, investigators arrested the pair as they slept inside their modified Chevrolet Caprice, ending weeks of fear. Woody examines the investigation, the victims, the evidence that connected the killers to the shootings and the sentences that followed. In Worldwide Crime, Woody discusses a Canadian fraud investigation involving former Major League Baseball player Rich Butler and his wife, Michelle, who are accused of collecting approximately $60,000 from families for youth baseball training services that were never provided. The episode then turns to the heartbreaking 2017 murder of Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, an eight-months-pregnant North Dakota woman who disappeared after visiting an upstairs neighbor. Investigators eventually discovered her newborn daughter alive inside the neighbors' apartment, while Savanna's body was later recovered from the Red River. Woody examines the convictions of Brooke Crews and William Hoehn and the devastating consequences for Savanna's family. Finally, Woody explores the wrongful conviction of Martin “Marty” Tankleff, who spent approximately 17 years imprisoned for the murders of his parents, Seymour and Arlene Tankleff. A disputed confession, allegations of investigative misconduct and new witness testimony eventually led to his conviction being overturned. Marty later became an attorney, turning his experience with the justice system into a career helping others.
