He was a Boy Scout leader, a husband, a father, but he was leading a double life. He was a monster, hiding in plain sight.

Journey inside the mind of one of history's most notorious killers, BTK, through the voices of the people who know him best. Listen to Monster BTK on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. To have a murder as gruesome as Jade Beasley's doesn't happen very often down here.

In Marion, Illinois, an 11-year-old girl brutally stabbed to death. Her father's longtime live-in girlfriend maintaining innocence but charged with her murder. I am confident that Julie Beckley is guilty. They've never found a weapon. Never made sense. Still doesn't make sense. She found out she was pregnant in jail. The person who did it is still out there. Listen to Murder on Songbird Road on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Listen to Criminalia on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. One of my favorite true crime podcasts has just been turned into a docuseries. Hey guys, it's Andrea Gunning. Right now, you can watch the Burden of Guilt docuseries on Paramount+. Here's a sneak peek of what you're going to see during this three-part series. Imagine all you know is that you had a brother, the brother died when he was four months old,

I was told that Matthew died in an accident. We were amazed at what we saw. I can't imagine sitting with the kind of mystery of what happened with your baby brother. This was a once-in-a-lifetime case. Medical records said that I had killed my baby brother. I don't understand. A two-year-old didn't throw this child from a crib.

Is there any kind of possibility that I could have done this? It's an unimaginable sort of trauma to inflict on a person. Honestly, it just didn't make any sense. There was a skull fracture, and we knew that couldn't have been caused by his sister. There's no way in hell that this child died from being pushed. Something doesn't wash here. I just didn't believe it. But if I didn't do it, who did?

I don't care how old the case it is. Let's go exhume the body. That's when those wheels began to turn. Is it possible Matthew's death wasn't an accident? To me, it felt like the case had started right there. While we had prosecuted some cold cases, this was the coldest. This was frigid. Tracy begins to realize that her parents are hiding something. They weren't parents to me. They were monsters.

There are so many twists and turns. You leave her alone. That's a threat. I wanted to talk about your son Matthew's death. But my nerves are just too bad. I can't get drawn into Tracy's fantasies anymore.

15 years, she's carried the burden. Tracy, her whole life has fought trying to bring justice, but there was nothing that anyone could have done to prepare us. What just happened? Just like that. All my life, I knew there was something wrong with Matthew's death, but I was not prepared to learn the truth.

Be sure to check out Burden of Guilt right now on Paramount+. He was a Boy Scout leader, a husband, a father, but he was leading a double life. He was a monster, hiding in plain sight.
