Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly. Hey, everybody. Welcome back to an all-new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise. If you are brand new, checking out this podcast for the very first time, first and foremost, let me just say welcome. So happy to have you here. If you are a returning listener, I hope you are having a great week.
You know what today is all about, right? Because on Mondays, we do the case deep dives. And boy, oh boy, do I have a case for you today. Because It's one where it's like there is such detailed deception and plotting, but also a lot of crazy twists throughout.
Like to where as I was researching it and going through, I was like my jaw was literally on the floor at three separate parts because I swear I thought I knew where it was going. I thought I knew what happened, who was responsible, everything. And then it was like, you know, one turn after another. So we have got a lot to get into today.
But again, just as a reminder for those of you who are new here, the way I break down these cases, I just want to deliver these cases in a format as if I'm talking to, you know, my best friend over a cocktail or over a coffee and in a more relatable, digestible sort of way.
So we try to kind of keep out, you know, the sterile aspect of it that sometimes you can see, you know, on documentaries and things like that and really just kind of talk about it as though I'm talking about this case with a friend.

And now people want me to believe that he's not that. I don't want or need a lawyer because I don't have anything to hide. Well, I feel like the dumbest, most manipulated woman on the entire planet, if this is true.
Yes. So on October 2 2020, people were just starting out their day in Carlton, Texas. And you know how your morning routine goes, right? Everybody has their own specific routine. You either are doing your coffee, your tea, maybe you're getting a workout in whatever it is, you're just kind of going through the motions to get your day started.
well at 9 a.m here everyone was going through their routines driving to work grabbing coffee heading to school the usual stuff now the people living at the green tree apartment complex were doing the exact same thing some of them were heading out while others like the employees were just clocking in as they walked through the door of the main building's front door it was a friday and like everybody else the workers were hoping for just a super easy day before the weekend kind of you know mentally clocking out already a little bit
One of the employees drove into work, parked in her usual spot, and it felt like just another normal day. At least, at first it did. She was the assistant manager, a 24-year-old woman named Alyssa Burkett. But before Alyssa could even get out of her car, a man who was dressed in all black got out of the car that was parked next to her, walked right up to her driver's side window,
