Speaker 1: So I'm here with Nancy Glass, host of the show
Speaker 1: Burden of guelt. This was one of my favorite podcasts
Speaker 1: in the last few years. Can you remind us a
Speaker 1: little bit about the story.
Speaker 2: Well, this is a story of a woman who grew
Speaker 2: up knowing that her baby brother died when he was
Speaker 2: four months old and she was two, but never knowing
Speaker 2: what really happened, and really wanting to learn what happened,
Speaker 2: but every time she asked her parents, they would punish her,
Speaker 2: they would beat her, and she grew up in this
Speaker 2: terrible household. And then finally, as a teenager, she finally
Speaker 2: gets a hold of the police report from that night
Speaker 2: when her brother died, and the police report says mother
Speaker 2: says two year old threw baby out of crib and
Speaker 2: killed him, And she thinks, did I kill my brother
Speaker 2: when I was two? Could have really happened? And what
Speaker 2: happens after that is the most incredible story, all these
Speaker 2: twists and turns to find out what really happened that
Speaker 2: night and why she carries this burden and why she
Speaker 2: no longer does well.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on getting the series turned into a docuseries. Paramount
Speaker 1: Plus has picked it up for fans of the show.
Speaker 1: What will people find in the documentary that's a little
Speaker 1: bit different than the podcast.
Speaker 2: Well, I think they will first of all, see the
Speaker 2: characters involved, and then you will see Tracy Riquel's father,
Speaker 2: the murderer.
Speaker 1: I mean that's huge because Tracy Riquel's father was ultimately
Speaker 1: found guilty of killing her brother, and you guys didn't
Speaker 1: get him to participate in the podcast. So you're saying,
Speaker 1: we're actually going to see him in the documentary.
Speaker 2: Yes, they will. They will see this man who was
Speaker 2: in his day considered suave, and this person is not
Speaker 2: how you would have pictured them to look, and the
Speaker 2: abuse that he heaped on people is unreal.
Speaker 1: Wolf in Sheep's clothing, for sure.
Speaker 2: It's funny. The best criminals are the ones who can
Speaker 2: kind of hide their psychopathology. You know.
Speaker 3: It's like all these people on Betrayal who just both
Speaker 3: faced liars, and I always say the scariest part of
Speaker 3: these people is how normal they can appear. And I
Speaker 3: think the visuals here will help you understand the entire
Speaker 3: story a lot better.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And so much of this story takes place in
Speaker 1: the courtroom. I imagine we're going to see some of
Speaker 1: that in the documentary.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're going to see some incredible courtroom footage,
Speaker 2: the craziest accusations and testimony. And again, you got to
Speaker 2: see it to believe it.
Speaker 1: I remember when I was listening to the podcast. You
Speaker 1: just form a relationship with Tercy Raquel in her journey
Speaker 1: and then to be able to see it on this
Speaker 1: screen as a whole other experience. So I'm really excited
Speaker 1: for that. So congratulations.
Speaker 2: You know, Tracy Raquel is a remarkable person, and she's
Speaker 2: never thought of herself as a victim, but I think
Speaker 2: she now sees that in all the things she did,
Speaker 2: she helped herself as well as her brother. She always
Speaker 2: had her brother in mine, a four month thought she
Speaker 2: doesn't even remember. But she has a beautiful family. She
Speaker 2: is a beautiful person inside and out. And while this
Speaker 2: has been very hard for her, I think it's been
Speaker 2: very cathartic for her, and I hope after the documentary
Speaker 2: airs it will be even better for her. But she's
Speaker 2: somebody I admire so much.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Beginning February fourth, you can watch The Burden
Speaker 1: of Guilt docuseries on Paramount Plus
