Introducing: Burden of Guilt

When Tracy Raquel Burns was two years old, her baby brother died.

I was told that Matthew died in an accident, and no one really talked about it.

Her parents told police, she had killed him.

It states, child, dream from crib by system.

Medical records said that I killed my baby brother.

Really tough family dynamics fueled much of what happened in this case.

I'm Nancy Glass. Join me for burden of guilt, the new podcast that tells the true

an incredible story of a toddler who was framed for murder, and how she grew into an adult

determined to get justice and protect her family.

While we had prosecuted some cold cases, this was the coldest, this was frigid.

But how does a two-year-old get blamed for murder?

She said we wanted a new life. You just don't know what it's like when you'll do anything for somebody.

Did that anything include a sinister cover-up?

She woke me in the middle of the night and took me to a state hospital.

It was a very violent, scary, terrified place.

I think she was just trying to get rid of me.

But no one could stop Tracer Raquel and what she learned would shock authorities,

devastate her family, and amaze everyone who knew her.

It was game on. It isn't justice that we seek.

Season 2 is the unbelievable but true story of the greatest spy of World War II. The Nazis don't know her name, but they want this woman dead. A mysterious agent is strategically dismantling their violent grasp on France and not only leading her own resistance factions but inspiring others. The Gestapo sends their devious double-agent, the priest Robert Alesh, to hunt down The Limping Lady before she threatens their entire push for Western Europe. But Virginia Hall was tougher and more resilient than they ever expected. Season 1 was a Top 10 hit with millions of listeners, making it one of the Top 20 new podcasts of 2021. Bestselling author and journalist Stephan Talty returns with Season 2 of Good Assassins: the dramatic story of a different kind of spy. Written by CD Carpenter (“American Hostage”) and produced by the award-winning team at Diversion Audio.
