Summary
Alyssa Burkett was brutally murdered in October 2020 by her ex-boyfriend, Andrew Beard, allegedly in a calculated attack tied to a bitter custody battle over their daughter. Beard shot her through her car window, then stabbed her 44 times — a scene that horrified investigators. Evidence revealed he’d planted drugs and a gun in her car to frame her, and even used disguises to hide his identity. His then-fiancée, Holly Elkins, was arrested and convicted as the mastermind behind the plot, sentenced to two life terms for orchestrating the killing to seize custody of their child.
