The crime took place on October 2, 2020, when Alyssa Burkett was shot and stabbed 44 times outside her workplace. The attacker used a black Ford Expedition and a hunting knife. Investigators quickly identified Andrew Beard, the father of Burkett's child, as the main suspect. Police found several pieces of evidence in Beard's home and car, including a GPS tracking device, an illegal silencer, and dark makeup used to change his appearance to trick witnesses.

這起犯罪發生於 2020 年 10 月 2 日，當時 Alyssa Burkett 在其工作場所外被槍擊並捅了 44 刀。攻擊者使用了一輛黑色 Ford Expedition 和一把獵刀。調查人員迅速將 Burkett 孩子的父親 Andrew Beard 確定為主要嫌疑人。警方在 Beard 的家中和車內發現了多項證據，包括一個 GPS 追蹤裝置、一個非法消音器，以及用於改變外貌以欺騙證人的深色化妝品。

This murder followed a long and difficult legal battle over the custody of the couple's daughter, Willow. Although they had a brief period of peace in early 2020, the conflict returned after Beard started a relationship with Holly Elkins. Furthermore, before the murder, Beard and Elkins attempted to frame Burkett for selling drugs by making a fake 911 call.

這次謀殺發生在兩人圍繞女兒 Willow 監護權展開的一場漫長且艱難的法律鬥爭之後。儘管他們在 2020 年初曾有短暫的和平期，但在 Beard 與 Holly Elkins 開始交往後，衝突再次爆發。此外，在謀殺案發生前，Beard 和 Elkins 還曾試圖透過撥打虛假的 911 電話來陷害 Burkett 販賣毒品。

After being arrested and released on bond, Beard was arrested again for violating federal firearm laws. During a plea deal, Beard testified that Elkins had planned the murder and told him how to use disguises to kill Burkett. This testimony was supported by digital evidence and text messages, which showed that Elkins believed Burkett had to be removed so she could start a family with the child. Despite her claims that she knew nothing about the crime, Elkins was charged with conspiracy and stalking.

Beard 在被捕並獲保釋後，再次因違反聯邦槍械法而被捕。在一次認罪協商中，Beard 證稱 Elkins 策劃了這次謀殺，並指示他如何使用偽裝來殺害 Burkett。此證詞得到了數位證據和簡訊的支持，顯示 Elkins 認為必須除掉 Burkett，她才能與孩子建立家庭。儘管 Elkins 聲稱對此案一無所知，但她仍被指控共謀與跟蹤。

聯邦當局已成功對 Andrew Beard 及其前未婚妻 Holly Elkins 定罪，兩人協同在德克薩斯州卡羅爾頓殺害 Alyssa Burkett。

The incident commenced on October 2, 2020, when Alyssa Burkett was shot and subsequently stabbed 44 times outside her place of employment. The assailant utilized a black Ford Expedition and a hunting knife to execute the attack. Initial investigations identified Andrew Beard, the father of Burkett's child, as the primary suspect. Evidence recovered from Beard's residence and vehicle included a GPS tracking device, an unregistered silencer, and dark cosmetic foundation used to simulate a different ethnic appearance to mislead witnesses.

該事件始於 2020 年 10 月 2 日，當時 Alyssa Burkett 在其工作地點外被槍擊，隨後被刺 44 刀。兇手使用一部黑色 Ford Expedition 及一把獵刀執行攻擊。初步調查確定 Burkett 孩子的父親 Andrew Beard 為主要嫌疑人。從 Beard 的住所和車輛中回收的證據包括一個 GPS 追蹤裝置、一個未登記的消音器，以及用於偽裝成不同種族外觀以誤導證人的深色化妝底妝。

Historical antecedents to the homicide involve a protracted and adversarial custody dispute regarding the couple's daughter, Willow. While a temporary rapprochement occurred in early 2020, hostilities resumed following Beard's relationship with Holly Elkins. Prior to the murder, an attempt was made to frame Burkett for narcotics distribution via a fraudulent 911 call, an act later attributed to Beard and Elkins.

該謀殺案的背景涉及雙方圍繞女兒 Willow 之間長期且對立的監護權爭議。儘管 2020 年初曾出現暫時的和解，但在 Beard 與 Holly Elkins 建立關係後，敵對狀態再次恢復。在謀殺發生前，有人試圖透過虛假的 911 電話將 Burkett 陷害為毒品分銷商，此舉後被歸因於 Beard 和 Elkins。

Following his initial arrest and subsequent release on bond, Beard was rearrested under federal firearm laws. During a plea agreement, Beard testified that Elkins had orchestrated the homicide, asserting that she directed the methodology and the use of disguises to eliminate Burkett. This testimony, corroborated by digital forensics and text communications, indicated that Elkins viewed the removal of Burkett as a prerequisite for establishing a familial unit with the child. Despite her initial claims of ignorance and attempts to provide a false alibi for Beard, Elkins was indicted for conspiracy and stalking resulting in death.

Beard 在初次被捕並保釋後，根據聯邦槍械法被再次逮捕。在認罪協議期間，Beard 證稱 Elkins 策劃了這次謀殺，聲稱是她指示了作案方法及使用偽裝以除掉 Burkett。這項證詞經由數位鑑識和文字訊息 corroboration（佐證），表明 Elkins 將除掉 Burkett 視為與孩子建立家庭單位的先決條件。儘管 Elkins 最初聲稱不知情並試圖為 Beard 提供虛假的不在場證明，她仍被起訴共謀及導致死亡的跟蹤行為。

Andrew Beard was sentenced to 43 years in federal prison, while Holly Elkins received two life sentences following a jury verdict of guilty in April 2024.
