00:00:14
suspected who was to blame 48 Hours correspondent Peter Van Sant has the story when Teresa Collard got to her
00:00:22
daughter's office in Carolton Texas she knew it was bad I pull up police fire trucks ambulance everywhere who are you
00:00:33
I'm detective Harding I remember asking that officer I said she didn't make it did she and he said no she
00:00:40
didn't 24-year-old Alyssa brette had just pulled into her usual parking space when a man with a gun approached her car
00:00:49
Michael Hardin was one of the lead detectives she had the window up and he shot right through the wind right
00:00:56
through the window assuming she was dead her as salent started to leave but Alysa brette
00:01:04
was still alive she gets out of her car and she walks up to this Landing to try to get
00:01:10
help cuz she knows her her co-workers are here the shooter chased after her this time holding a knife after he
00:01:18
starts to to stab her she's still fighting on this window right here there was a blood handprint smear where Alysa
00:01:25
was trying to get anyone to come out and help her but fearing it was an active shooter situation her co-worker stayed
00:01:33
inside until finally her attacker fled once the suspect left her co-workers came out to try to render aid but it was
00:01:42
too late Teresa told detectives that Alyssa was in the throws of a bitter custody
00:01:49
battle with the father of her one-year-old daughter Willow Anne she even said I think he's the kind of
00:01:56
person that's going to try to kill me and he did he did oh my God within an hour of getting to the
00:02:06
crime scene we knew that we needed to look for Andrew beard Jeremy chavalier was also a lead
00:02:13
detective at first this seemed like an open and shut case but as it turned out Andrew beard was only half the
00:02:22
story wow oh my gosh Peter Van joins us now what a tragedy especially the fact that her co-workers thought this was an
00:02:30
active shooter so they of course they you know locked the doors and didn't go out um just a sign of the times but why
00:02:37
did this guy or the suspect think that this crime could happen in broad daylight it was it was sheer Madness
00:02:43
people watched The Killing saw him drive off in a black SUV now this man wore a disguise Andrew beard wore a disguise he
00:02:51
had a beard and he' put on some dark makeup so that he could impersonate a person of color shows you what a rat he
00:02:58
was right but he they cops uh eventually learned that he had planted drugs and a
00:03:05
pistol in the trunk of Alyssa's car called the cops on her to try and then reported her as there was a drug dealer
00:03:11
working out here so this guy was really Sinister that dirty trick didn't work at
00:03:16
the time but eventually he caught up with her and there's a Twist there's actually
00:03:22
someone else I'm not going to reveal it because we want you know you got to watch on Saturday I'm at a loss for
00:03:28
words right now so it looks like this is just Andrew beard but there wasn't there
00:03:31
was this Sinister other person behind the scenes manipulative and you will not believe
00:03:38
this character until you see it you have to see the hour but a a third person is
00:03:43
involved in all of this who manipulated and and you'll see this person being questioned by cops and things it's
00:03:50
unlike anything I've had in a story for 48 hours and the darkening makeup is just despicable on so many levels Peter
00:03:56
thank you so much you can watch Peter's report the plot to eliminate Alyssa burette on 48 hours tomorrow night at 10
