    True Crime Time For April 11, 2026 | Gilgo Beach Killer Pleads Guilty, Insurance Murder Plot, Toy Box Killer Case

    04/11/2026 | 45 mins.
    In this episode of True Crime Time For, Woody Overton delivers a powerful and emotional breakdown of major cases spanning decades — from long-awaited justice to some of the darkest crimes ever uncovered.
    The episode begins with a historic update in the Gilgo Beach serial killer case, where Rex Heuermann pleads guilty to multiple murders, finally bringing answers to families after years of uncertainty. The chilling details of the crimes — including strangulation and calculated planning — highlight the calculated nature of serial offenders.
    Woody then shifts into a disturbing case out of North Carolina, where a man is accused of poisoning his wife using eye drops to collect life insurance money. The case takes an even darker turn when it’s revealed he later staged his own kidnapping and attempted to manipulate investigators.
    The episode also dives into one of the most horrifying criminal cases ever documented — the Toy Box Killer, a sadistic predator who kidnapped and tortured victims in a custom-built chamber. The story serves as a stark reminder of the depths of human evil and the importance of survivor testimony.
    Additional cases include:
    A dangerous multi-state police chase involving children inside the suspect vehicle
    A tragic case involving New Orleans comedian Boogie B, killed as an innocent bystander
    A federal case involving rapper Pooh Shiesty and a coordinated armed robbery and kidnapping scheme
    Throughout the episode, Woody reinforces a central message: justice takes time, but it does come — and community awareness plays a critical role in getting there.
