Like seconds after the judge said guilty, the lights flickered in the courtroom. It was surreal. What did that tell you, those lights flickering? That he was there. That he knows.
Every November 1st, I would go to La Paloma Golf Course and put flowers in the 18th hole.
if you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same. If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch and toss and lose and start again at your beginning and never breathe a word about your loss. And that's just how my uncle lived.
Tonight on 2020, we're in Texas for one of the trickiest possible love triangles we've ever covered. And like many of them, it ends with a dead body. Was she trying to kill the two of you?
I'm here in Austin, Texas for a twisted tale of deceit that played out more than 20 years ago. One woman's fairy tale turned into betrayal and murder in a case that tore apart an entire family. And it all began with a fateful meeting right here at the Austin Country Club.
One evening at the club, Steve Beard meets a young, beautiful waitress named Celeste Johnson. And they strike up a friendship.
Celeste Johnson was born in the California town of Culver City on February 13, 1963.
But her mother says Celeste became troubled as an adolescent and she sought help for her.
And early in the marriage, Craig Bratcher decides to up and relocate the family to Washington State without consulting Celeste.
In 1988, Celeste moves to Phoenix and marries another man, but that marriage also quickly falls apart.
You could never get that happiness.
1993 is a monumental year for Celeste. At the time, she was working that job as a waitress at the Austin Country Club.
Soon, Celeste divorces Jimmy Martinez, her third husband. Did the family seem happy?
And wealth was coming to Austin. People are becoming millionaires, and one of them is Steve Beard.
Steve and Elise were married for more than 40 years, and together they had three children, Steve Jr., Paul, and Becky.
Steve moves Celeste into his mansion quickly. When his friends wonder who she is, Steve tells them Celeste is working for him.
When Celeste and Steve got married, Steve promised her a million dollars. But if their marriage were to end in divorce, she would then only get $500,000.
After their natural father has died, Celeste asked Steven to adopt the twins, even though they're 17 years old.
Do you know why he adopted you?
And for a while, everyone was happy and Celeste achieved the life she wanted. But settled and secure, as it turns out, is not Celeste's nature.
