Welcome back to Postmortem. I'm your host, Anne-Marie Green. And today we are discussing the case of Alyssa Burkett, who in 2020 was brutally murdered by Andrew Beard, her ex-boyfriend and also the father of her young daughter. Nearly three years after Alyssa's death, Andrew's fiancee, Holly Elkins, was arrested in connection with the murder.
So joining me now to unpack all the twists and turns of this case are 48 Hours correspondent Peter Van Sant, producer Liza Finley, and Gabby Demergen. Thank you so much, guys. Thanks, Anne-Marie. Thanks, Anne-Marie.
Great to be here again, Anne-Marie.
Okay, as per usual, everyone, remember, if you haven't listened to the 48 Hours episode yet, you can find the full audio just below this episode in your podcast feed. Go take a listen and then come back for this conversation. So here we go. Alyssa Burkett was murdered in broad daylight outside of her workplace in Carrollton, Texas. This is just north of Dallas. There were witnesses.
And even though Andrew Beard wore a disguise, he was really quickly identified as a suspect and surrendered to authorities just three days later. But what I was really surprised by is he picked such a public place to attack her. Do you have any insight into why he would do it there in broad daylight?
