Summary

The police had little to go on when someone walked into the bedroom of retired television executive Steven Beard and shot him while he slept.

This week’s Court TV podcast answers that question with another episode of the original series Someone They Knew With Tamron Hall. This week’s episode entitled “Rude Awakening.” To see this week’s episode of Someone They Knew with Tamron Hall, click here.
