In this episode of True Crime Time, Woody Overton covers the latest developments in some of the most shocking crime stories making headlines around the world.

Woody discusses the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the conviction of the man responsible for the disappearance and murder of six-year-old Etan Patz, one of America's most famous missing child cases. He explores how the Etan Patz case changed the way law enforcement handles missing children and helped inspire national missing-child databases and awareness campaigns.
