Summary

In March of 2010, a 48-year-old woman was found murdered in the backyard of her Connecticut home. With her murder appearing personal, police wondered if someone in her inner circle could have been behind it. But as years passed and justice didn’t come, her son took the investigation into his own hands. This is the murder of Barbara Beach-Hamburg.

0:20.3	Hello everybody, big thanks to Shannon for recommending today's case. Some of you guys might be familiar with it because there was an HBO documentary that came out.
0:29.9	On this case, about three years ago called Murder on Middle Beach, I actually didn't watch that the time it was one of those that we just never got around to watching.
0:38.9	Yeah.
0:39.9	But maybe you guys did. But for everybody else, maybe this will be a new story for you. And then you could watch the DocuSeries after.
0:46.9	Absolutely. Go and check out that DocuSeries. Also, I just wanted to mention that we do have a subscription bonus episode series on Apple Podcasts now.
0:57.9	So if you want to go and subscribe to that, basically we've had Patreon for many years now. And we're just making it easier for Apple users to be able to subscribe to those bonus episodes.
1:07.9	So if you are an Apple user, you can subscribe on Apple now.
1:11.9	Yes, but remember, those are bonus episodes that you would not have access to otherwise. So that's not our regular content coming out. I know we're saying this a lot, but there's a lot of people who are just still not getting it.
1:21.9	We are not putting our show behind a paywall. Those are specifically bonus episodes. And we've been doing that for almost four years now somewhere else. So you're not missing anything.
1:31.9	We're not making you pay for anything unless you want to. Thank you, everybody who has shown interest though in our bonus episodes.
1:39.9	Just remember, if it says bonus, it's a bonus. If it's not, we're still doing to a week. Nothing is changing. Thank you very much.
1:46.9	I think that pretty much cleared that up. All right, guys, this is episode 289 of Going West. So let's get into it.

2:32.9	Today, the medical examiner's office said Hamburg died as a result of blunt force trauma and stab wounds.
2:38.9	Obviously, we have a great handle on this and officers are working around the clock on it. As for the person who murdered my mom, I just want to know why.
2:52.9	And he has been trying to find out those answers for years more recently in 2020, but an HBO series murdered on Middle Beach that examines Madison's journey to try to solve the case.
3:06.9	I just have this vision over kind of finding her way out on the front yard. I just hope to catch the person that did it.
3:22.9	Barbara Beach was born on April 29, 1961 in New Haven, Connecticut and was one of six children born to Barbara and Richard Beach alongside siblings Christopher, Conway, Catherine, Lewis, and Richard.
