0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Murder on Songbird Road is a production of iHeart Podcasts.

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:09.560
<v Speaker 2>I thought the new story about murder than a wool

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 2>area in.

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Marion, And when I clicked on the article a bombird

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 3>Road and my.

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 4>Heart thank because I need it. Backs to the road

0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 4>that Julie led on.

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>To have a murderers Christmas Jae Beasley doesn't happen very

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:23.079
<v Speaker 2>often down here.

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>And Mary in Illinois, an eleven year old girl brutally

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>stabbed to death her father's longtime living girlfriend, maintaining innocence

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>but charged with her murder.

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 3>I am confident that Julie Beverley is guilty with this case.

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 3>The more I learned about it, the more I'm scratching

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.160
<v Speaker 3>my head, like man somethings thinks about it.

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Something's not right.

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Why would a thirty two year old woman with no

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>history of violence murder and eleven year old she considered

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>her own child.

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes people snap, That is what I believe happened in

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 2>this case.

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 3>She claims that as soon as she pulls the storm

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 3>over and that she notices blood in the living room

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.400
<v Speaker 3>and somebody clad and all black comes charging at her,

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 3>and that he's got a knife.

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 2>They had told us at the press conference that she

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 2>had told them a story about a suspect that left

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>the home that was later proven to be false. But

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 2>they never explained how I should have asked, Looking back

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 2>at it now, in hindsight.

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 4>If you stamped somebody, how many times you would have

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 4>blood splatter, which the change closed. They've never found the

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 4>weapon never made sense, still doesn't make sense.

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm Lauren Bright. Pacheco. Murder on Songbird Road dives into

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the conviction of a mother of four who remains behind

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.559
<v Speaker 1>bars and the investigation that put her there.

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 4>She found out she was pregnant in jail, she wasn't

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 4>treated like she was an innocent human being at all,

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 4>which is just horrific.

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>It is unhumane.

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 4>I have not seen this level of corruption anywhere in

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 4>my life. From the lying and the cover ups, it's unbelievable.

0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>And the victim impact statement darkness the light. Oh that's

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>what I wrote down on the line, like darkness cannot

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>drive out darkness.

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 2>They're talking about witches.

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>That kind of is frowned upon down.

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Here around here.

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:13.639
<v Speaker 4>They don't murders.

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Nice join me along with criminal defense attorney Bob Mada

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>in investigating the murder that ripped a rural community in

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>southern Illinois, part pitting families against one another in a

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:30.359
<v Speaker 1>storm of controversy, corruption, and continuing questions.

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 4>The person who hit it is still out there. He

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.359
<v Speaker 4>had both hands on either side of the door, and

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.079
<v Speaker 4>he kept just talking and jibber jabbering, and I was

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 4>too afraid to answer the door.

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 3>He just kept knocking and knocking.

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.519
<v Speaker 1>So a shirtless guy, and he looked like he was

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>under the influence of drugs.

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's no justice for Jade.

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 3>There's no justice Julie.

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Nobody has gotten justice yet. And that's what I wish

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 2>people would understand.
