Real Life Real Crime | Monsters Part 1: The Beginning Reboot

This Holy Week, Real Life Real Crime goes old school with the re-release of Monsters, a raw and unedited series that longtime Lifers may remember and newer listeners may be hearing for the first time. Woody explains why this week matters personally to him and why this series is being brought back during one of the slowest weeks in podcasting. This is the original RAW and UNEDITED audio.

In Part 1, Woody takes listeners back to November 15, 2006, when he was called to a home in Watson, Louisiana, while working as a detective with the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office. What he found inside would become one of the most haunting crime scenes of his career. As he describes the layout of the house, the overwhelming amount of blood, and the first steps of the investigation, it becomes clear this case is unlike anything most listeners have ever heard.

This episode also includes Woody’s original updates from that time period, including mentions of ongoing justice efforts and announcements that were part of the original release. Because this is a re-release, those references remain as part of the raw episode audio.

Listener discretion is strongly advised.
