After woman's murder, detectives learn killer was "only half the story"

Article excerpt

Alyssa Burkett was murdered in broad daylight in Carrollton, Texas, and suspicion fell on Andrew Beard, the father of her child. But investigators uncovered a darker truth: Beard was only half the story. His fiancée, Holly Elkins, had orchestrated the killing, a twisted plot that revealed a crime rooted not in passion but in calculation. The case, featured on CBS's 48 Hours, exposes how a woman's death became entangled in a web of deception involving two people who should have been bound by love.
