When Steven Beard woke up in the middle of the night, he thought his stomach had somehow burst open.Instead, investigators discovered he had been shot while sleeping in his own bed.What followed was an investigation involving a wealthy businessman, a much younger wife, Celese Beard, a secret relationship, allegations of manipulation, and claims of a murder-for-hire plot motivated by millions of dollars.This episode breaks down the full timeline, from the shooting itself to the testimony that ultimately convinced a jury that Steven's murder was far bigger than a single trigger pull.Listen now on Love and Murder************************************************************************************************Podcast Promo: Darkcast Network*************************************************************************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you’d like to hear about?
