In this episode of True Crime Time For, Cyndi Overton takes listeners through bizarre courtroom mistakes, devastating family tragedies, financial scams, and disturbing murder investigations while also sharing heartfelt words for several RLRC lifers going through difficult times.
“This Day in True Crime” focuses on the 2019 murder of indigenous woman Alyah Minthorne, whose death became part of the broader Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women crisis. Cyndi discusses how Minthorne was allegedly executed after her killer believed she had spoken with federal authorities about another crime.
Additional stories include:
- Two attorneys and a law firm fined after using completely fake court cases generated by OpenAI’s ChatGPT in federal court filings
- A broader discussion about AI hallucinations and how attorneys, journalists, and researchers continue getting caught submitting false AI-generated information
- A United Airlines flight from Newark to Guatemala being forced to divert after a passenger allegedly attempted to open an aircraft door at 36,000 feet
- The FBI reporting Americans lost more than $20 billion to online fraud and internet scams in 2025, with older adults suffering the greatest financial losses
- A deep discussion about cryptocurrency scams, AI-generated fraud, romance scams, impersonation scams, and the growing danger of voice cloning technology
- Convicted Ohio killer Mackenzie Shirilla attempting another appeal after attorneys claimed a leap-year miscalculation caused court paperwork to be filed one day late
- A California Amber Alert involving a missing 5-year-old girl whose father became a person of interest after her mother was found dead during a welfare check
- A Los Angeles murder-suicide investigation after two adults and two children were discovered shot to death inside a family home
- A Florida influencer with a limb difference going viral after receiving a distracted driving citation for allegedly holding a phone with her “right hand” despite not having a right hand
Cyndi closes the episode thanking RLRC listeners and supporters while reminding everyone about the upcoming July 18th live event.
