The night the Devil showed up in Georgia

On a quiet road in Cartersville, a spring night in 1990 turned into something unthinkable. Robert “Monty” Woody and his wife, Patricia “Ann” Woody were known for their kindness—the kind of people who would open their door to anyone in need. But on April 25, 1990, that same kindness may have led danger straight into their home. What happened inside that house on Rudy York Road was brutal, personal, and has remained unsolved for decades. In this episode, Dani takes you deep into the lives of Monty and Ann, the events leading up to that night, and the haunting details left behind—including a mysterious handwritten note, unanswered questions, and a case that many believe is closer to being solved than ever before. This isn’t just a story about murder. It’s a story about love, trust… and the devastating cost of letting the wrong person in.

Valentine’s Day in Fort Valley: The Murder of Anitra Gunn

On February 14, 2020, 22-year-old Fort Valley State University senior Anitra Gunn sent what would become her final text message. By that afternoon, her friends were alarmed by strange messages coming from her phone. Her father drove from Atlanta to Fort Valley when his gut told him something wasn’t right. Within hours, her car was found abandoned — purse, wallet, cash, and keys still inside.

Burned Twice: The Murder of Briana Winston

In this episode of Southern Files with Dani, we travel back to Clayton County, Georgia — a place where history runs deep and secrets don’t always stay buried. Briana Winston was young. She was loved. And like so many cases we cover, her story didn’t begin as a headline — it began as a family waiting for answers. When Briana disappeared, questions started piling up. Where had she been? Who was she last with? And why did the timeline feel… off? As the days turned into weeks, investigators began peeling back the layers — and what they uncovered would send shockwaves through the community. Because sometimes the truth isn’t hiding in some faraway place. Sometimes it’s right there, close to home. In this episode, we walk through the timeline, the key players, the investigation, and the lingering questions that still haunt those who loved her most. This isn’t just a story about what happened. It’s about the silence afterward. The heartbreak. And the fight for justice. Listener discretion is advised due to the nature of this case.
