Alyssa Burkett thought she'd found love in Andrew Beard, but once their daughter was born, it became clear that their relationship would not last. Each of them moved on to someone new, continuing to fight every step of the way to gain sole custody of their little girl.

Nearly a year after the Sims family triple homicide, Tallahassee, Florida was struck with another heinous set of crimes. Two teenage girls were found brutally beaten, stabbed, and shot in a wooded area near Blue Sink.

The question that haunted the community was impossible to ignore: were these crimes connected—or was Tallahassee facing a second, unrelated nightmare?
