Woody Overton covers a bizarre situation in Elizabeth, Louisiana, where police chief candidate Chris Paul remains on the ballot—and is running unopposed—after being arrested on allegations that he raped two 13-year-old girls nearly 20 years ago. Paul has not been convicted and is presumed innocent. Woody also looks back at October 9 in true-crime history, including Aileen Wuornos, Jerry Sandusky and the D.C. sniper attacks.

The Elizabeth, Louisiana police-chief race presents an unusual situation: according to the episode, Chris Paul is the only remaining candidate while facing allegations involving two girls. Woody emphasizes that Paul has not been convicted and retains the presumption of innocence. Pasted text
The episode ends on the kind of development Woody continually stresses—never giving up on a cold case. Nearly 20 years after Chynna and Blake Dickus were killed, Michael Jerome James has been indicted on two murder counts. Woody connects that breakthrough to the continuing search for answers in the Madison Renee Allen and Stephanie Hevia cases and urges anyone with information to call 313-RLRC-TIP.
