About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "True Crime Time For November 10, 2026 | Fallen Washington Deputies, Russell Brand Sentencing, Dallas Murder & Mysterious New Jersey Deaths" from Real Life Real Crime covers five current cases alongside a This Day in History segment spanning crimes from 1938 to 2009.
The episode opens with the deaths of two Spokane County deputies, covered in Fallen Washington Deputies: Mason Acheson and Parker Perry responded to a domestic violence call near Spangle, Washington on November 3 and came under gunfire. Acheson died from his injuries, and Perry was kept on life support for organ donation before his death. The gunman, identified as Ryan Larson, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and his mother and sister were also found dead inside the residence.
A news segment reports that Russell Brand received a 10½-year prison sentence following convictions for rape and sexual assault, with additional allegations still under investigation. A Dallas story details the first-degree murder charge against Jimmy Spurger Jr., chief investigator for the Dallas County Public Defender's Office, after his wife Maria Teresa Spurger was found dead in their apartment on November 6; the couple had been married roughly 35 years and Spurger had recently filed for divorce. A Family Matters segment covers a Florida grandmother accused of stealing an inflatable Halloween ghost. The episode closes with Mysterious New Jersey Deaths, where a postal worker's discovery of a handwritten note led police to three bodies in Mount Holly, New Jersey, and a Kentucky case involving an alleged strangling at a high school football game.
