Multi millionaire Stephen Beer Junior fell hard for 47 00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:01.240 Celeste Martini Martinez, a shapely Blowe waitress who served him 48 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.439 as nightly cocktail at the local country club, as well 49 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.520 as sexual favors. In nineteen ninety five, the seven year 50 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.960 old widow Beard married the thirty two year old mother 51 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.400 of twin teenagers and gave her homes, cars, and more 52 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.919 jewelry and designer clothes than she could ever wear. But 53 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.879 it wasn't enough for Celeste. Claiming she was depressed, she 54 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.240 checked into a psychiatric facility where she met fellow patient 55 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:34.159 Tracy Tarlton, a prominent bookstore manager. Celeste seduced Tracy, convincing 56 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.919 her that the only way they could be together would 57 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:42.439 be to kill Steve, claiming in the wee hours of 58 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.759 an October morning, Steve awoke to a shotgun blast to 59 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:50.759 his gut. Tracy was arrested, but refused to implicate Celeste 60 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.360 until she learned the truth about her lover. In as 61 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.159 sordid trial sensationalized even more by the antics of fame, 62 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:02.319 Texas Defense attorney Dick to gain. The depths of Celeste's 63 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:06.400 lies were revealed in a Tale of Lust, Betrayal and Regret. 64 00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.960 The book that we're profiling this evening is The Fortune 65 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:14.520 Hunter with my special guest journalist and author, Susie Spencer. 66 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.839 Welcome back to the program, and thank you for agreeing 67 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:18.439 to this interview. Susie Spencer. 68 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.399 Thank you for having me again. 69 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:23.839 Well, thank you very much. It hasn't been that long, 70 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.279 but it's was my great pleasure to have you on 71 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.439 just a while ago. And here we are again with 72 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:32.560 another wild tale. So let's talk a little bit about 73 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.879 because there's so much information jam packed in over four 74 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.519 hundred pages in this book, and very deservedly too. There's 75 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:48.079 no padding whatsoever, just crazy stuff. Let's start a little 76 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:54.360 bit with Celeste with her original maiden name, and because 77 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.560 she goes through a succession of marriages, so just to 78 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.360 start to describe Celeste and her character, let's just talk 79 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.519 about her first marriages. Let's start at that point in 80 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:10.959 her life and talk about the characteristics that mar her 81 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.480 relationships and then are characterized in her relationships right from 82 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:16.199 the very beginning. 83 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:22.720 Well, Celeste has always had a rocky start in life. 84 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:27.680 She was adopted by a mother and father who could 85 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.959 not have kids, but adopted four overall, and they were not, 86 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.680 shall we say, the most emotionally stable people in the world. 87 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.360 People would tell me that her father was an alcoholic 88 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.000 and drug addict who then became very religious, changed his 89 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:48.839 name Jedediah, and wanted to become a university professor, whereas 90 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:55.480 he had been a Volkswagen car mechanic. Her mother was, Oh, 91 00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.920 let's face it, she was crazy. I mean, is Lee crazy. 92 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.519 She was put in psych words several times. At one 93 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:10.000 point she tried to believe stab a friend. I know 94 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.959 that she was beating up a friend, and the friend 95 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.000 and her family kicked her out. And then Celeste went 96 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.240 and stripped off her clothes and went banging on not Celeste. 97 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.160 Celest's mother went, you know, stripped off her clothes and 98 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.120 went banging on doors. And so this was kind of 99 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:30.240 the life where Celeste grew up. She claims that her 100 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.040 father molested her from starting at age four up until 101 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.120 about twelve. She then claims that her eldest adopted brother, 102 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.759 Cole Johnson, molested her. She claims that her first husband, 103 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.319 Craig Bratcher, who she married at seventeen when she was pregnant, 104 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:52.920 that he raped her and abused her. Then she had 105 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.959 her twins, who are very predominant in the book. And 106 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:03.560 then she and Craig divorced. Then let's see, I start 107 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:09.839 getting her marriages mixed up, as she married a military 108 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.319 guy after that, and somewhere in there between the military 109 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.600 guy and the divorce from Craig, she says that Craig 110 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:22.079 raped her again and that she gave that child up 111 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:26.000 for adoption, which she did, truly did give a child 112 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:30.240 up for adoption. Then when she was with this Harold 113 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.399 wolf who was the I believe the number two husband 114 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:37.399 who was in the military, there are claims that she 115 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:43.879 went into another psychiatric facility or a psychiatric facility. There's 116 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:48.000 also hints that her mother had her like incarcerated when 117 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.920 she was in high school. At this point, Celeste was 118 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.680 getting known for sleeping with anyone and everyone who could 119 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.000 give her money and get her out of trouble. Because 120 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:04.720 when she married Harold Wolfe, she was living in Arizona 121 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.279 and she got in deep trouble with the law there 122 00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:13.319 for insurance frauds, stealing from people, and developed a little 123 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:20.560 record there. She claims that she dated an attorney who 124 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.519 bought her new breast. Then she split with him when 125 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.399 she found out he was going to having an affair 126 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.639 with someone else, and she picked up in a bar 127 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:36.960 Jimmy Martinez, who I believe was her third husband. And 128 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.600 one day she was working in a restaurant and the 129 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.639 lid on an ice machine fell on her breast, and 130 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:48.799 then they sued the icemaker and the restaurant where she 131 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:55.600 worked because she supposedly had injured her implants. Now this 132 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:59.200 is sort of important because Slith had a thing about 133 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:02.720 her breast and they seemed to come up a lot 134 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:08.159 in the story. So even though her implants were fine, 135 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.759 she had one of them removed. So that then apparently 136 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:17.240 she had one saline and one gel implant, you know, silicon. 137 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.679 But then and so that the lawsuit was that because 138 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:27.759 of this, her husband, Jimmy Martinez, was deprived of her love, 139 00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:32.360 shall we put it politely. They eventually moved to Texas 140 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:38.639 and she was working in a at the Austin Country 141 00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:43.840 Club as a cocktail waitress or waitress. At this point, 142 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.440 she only had her daughter. Of her two twin daughters 143 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.000 that she'd had earlier, she only had Christina with her 144 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.720 because her other daughter, Jennifer, had stayed with Craig Bratcher 145 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:07.159 and she wanted Ennerfer back. Supposedly, and so allegedly Jimmy 146 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:12.799 was mistreating Christina, and Celeste wanted out of there, And 147 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:19.480 there happened to be a lonely, obese, alcoholic, seemingly alcoholic, 148 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:25.559 multi millionaire whose wife was dying from cancer, who frequented 149 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:32.840 the country club every night, and who befriended so she 150 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.279 when his wife died two weeks later, they started dating, 151 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:42.279 and that multimillionaire was Steve Beard. At this point, ce 152 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:47.279 is Celeste Martinez on her third marriage. She leaves Jimmy 153 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:54.559 Martinez to get together with Steve, and Steve gets both 154 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.720 of her children back. He gives her when they marry, 155 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.519 like a year, year and a half later, he gives 156 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:08.519 her a half million dollars and that's immediately gone. And 157 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:10.919 then a few years later he gives her enough half 158 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:16.000 million dollars that's immediately gone. Bottom line is, it doesn't 159 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.159 matter how much money he gives her, it's never enough. 160 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:28.080 So she wants the money bad, so she conspires. Am 161 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:28.840 I going too far? 162 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.679 Let's talk a little bit about the daughters as well, 163 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.399 because we have the real, you know, just a relationship 164 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:41.080 here because we're talking about Steve Beard and Big Daddy 165 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.679 and how is it that he that he comes to 166 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:47.279 his fortune, And really we didn't talk about his character 167 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.039 that much. He's an obese guy. He's sixty nine years 168 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.279 of age. She is less than half his age at 169 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:57.720 thirty or thirty two years of age, and like we're 170 00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:59.679 talking about a three hundred pound guy. But we didn't 171 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:03.320 talk about bout the sort of the gruff character he is, 172 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.960 but the very very successful entertainment mogul that he ends 173 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.919 up being and respected guy in his field. So let's 174 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.240 talk a little bit more about Big Daddy and then 175 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.000 we'll talk about again as you mentioned that he gets 176 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.240 the other Jennifer to come into the home and Christine 177 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:25.720 and then we see this relationship early on this new dynamic, 178 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:27.879 and so we'll talk about that. So tell us a 179 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.679 little bit about Big Daddy, how he came to the 180 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:34.159 money that he does have, and we'll talk about the 181 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:35.279 family dynamic that. 182 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.360 When I think about Steve or Big Daddy, I think 183 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:43.600 about his daughter, Becky Beard, who I spent a lot 184 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.399 of time with and got to know. And Becky always 185 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.799 told me that Steve would have really liked me. And 186 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:56.679 I think of Becky as a reflection of Steve, because 187 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:00.720 she was a hard worker, and Steve was a hard worker. 188 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:04.919 He was a self made multi millionaire who traveled all 189 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.720 over the country and the radio business and the advertising business, 190 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:17.320 working like a dog, raising three kids, had a devoted wife. 191 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:23.159 This was all primarily in Dallas, Texas, and he just 192 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:26.440 moved up the ranks and radio and advertising till that 193 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.440 he was like the number two guy I think at 194 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:34.120 Blair Advertising. And then he decided that he wanted to 195 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:38.200 own a TV station and he moved to Austin, and 196 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:41.039 like say, he was already well respected in the world 197 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:44.799 of radio and advertising and opened up an independent station 198 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:50.960 that eventually became a Fox affiliate. But Fox was going 199 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:53.799 to yank the affiliation and they wanted to be a 200 00:13:53.840 --> 00:14:01.960 CBS affiliate now again. Steve gruff, big guy, hard talking. 201 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.879 I mean, he could be a tad on the racist side, 202 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:11.600 he could be a tad on the the I don't know, harsh. 203 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:14.679 He was a hard talking guy. When he wanted something, 204 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.320 he went after it, and he did not, you know, 205 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:24.399 temper his language for anyone. But yet people loved him 206 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.000 because he worked so hard and he was so loyal 207 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:30.720 to the people that you know that were in his group, 208 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:36.519 and he was funny, and he was lively. He wanted 209 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:41.200 to live life to the ultimate and so you know, 210 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.360 he was he was kind of lost and devastated when 211 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.360 the TV station, like I said it was, they were 212 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:52.039 trying to become a CBS affiliate since they were losing 213 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.039 their Fox affiliation. And the CBS folks said, We're not 214 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.879 gonna do this to you. You have to sell your 215 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:02.200 station to this other company. Otherwise you're just add on 216 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:08.679 your own. So he reluctantly sold the station and got 217 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.039 millions and millions of dollars on this and that's where 218 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:18.480 he became the multi millionaire guy, you know, who had 219 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.919 time on his hands and started delving into real estate. 220 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.320 But the bottom line is the people who knew him 221 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.799 cherished him because he was so loyal and such a 222 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.480 hard worker, and I believe, from what I understand, very 223 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.879 honest in his business dealings. 224 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.960 Now, this guy larger than life. What we say we 225 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:47.720 talked about introducing the dynamic that went on, and also, 226 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:51.720 which is very important, that these young girls have boyfriends 227 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:57.240 Christopher Deuce and Justin Grimm. So let's first talk about 228 00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:01.200 even before this, because we skip over the the marriage 229 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:05.080 and some of the bizarre stuff that goes on, and 230 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:09.720 more importantly, the difference for Becky because you say, well, 231 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:14.799 just as just a few weeks later after Steven's wife dies, 232 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.960 but also Becky's mother. So yeah, you talk about the 233 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.759 surprise that Becky has in terms of the new housekeeper. 234 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.720 So tell us that little story, which is very demonstrative. 235 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:31.480 Oh gosh, yeah, it's poor Becky. She was obviously the 236 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:38.639 closest of the children. His eldest son, Steve, lived in Chicago. 237 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:44.639 His youngest son, Paul, was in the navy. Becky was 238 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.879 in Dallas, so she stayed more in touch with him, 239 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.559 and so her mother died in October. Like I say, 240 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:57.679 two weeks later, Steve moves in with this woman, you know, 241 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.080 and or moves in a woman. He dates her and 242 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:06.440 starts moving her in, and Becky talking to her dad 243 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.000 and she says, he says, oh, I'm going to hire 244 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:12.079 a housekeeper, And she thinks it's going to be some nice, 245 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:17.000 elderly person. And she never expected to be a thirty 246 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:23.440 something year old blonde bombshell, and she's just totally stunned. 247 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.759 In fact, all of his friends are stunned, like what 248 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.759 are you doing? And his friends are saying, what are 249 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:31.799 you doing? And he said, hey, man, I don't want 250 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:34.000 anyone to think I'm gay, and they go, well, no 251 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:38.640 one's going to thank you that. And when they ask 252 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:42.160 why she was moving in, he would say, also, well 253 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:46.400 she's great at sex, and he and his wife hadn't 254 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:52.160 been having sex for years. And so then the next thing, 255 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.279 you know, the Becky calls a few months later and 256 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.359 this young girl answers the phone and Becky's like, who 257 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.079 is this and she goes, well, this is Christina and 258 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:05.480 she's like, well, who are you? And Celestie's on the 259 00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:08.440 phone and starts screaming at Becky, why are you? You know, 260 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:13.240 yelling and questioning my daughter. And ever since Celeste came 261 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:17.240 into her life, that's what would happened to Becky when 262 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:19.759 she would talk to her dad. It always seemed to 263 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.160 be like some big shocker coming up. 264 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:24.200 You know. 265 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:27.200 It's it's like he almost had this secret life and 266 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.240 she just he didn't come out ever and never say 267 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.480 this is what's going on. It's just imagine because he 268 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:38.119 knew she wouldn't approve because she loved as all kids 269 00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:42.759 loved her mother, well I say all kids, Celestier didn't 270 00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:43.799 love her mother. 271 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:51.200 What was exactly was Big Daddy's health? What was the 272 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:53.799 some of the ailments he had other than being overweight. 273 00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:57.200 He's a big man, so, but what were specifically how 274 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:00.960 how sick was this guy or how she was this guy. 275 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:05.960 When he met Celeste. Okay, he couldn't necessarily function sexually, 276 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.960 he had asthma, he had to have a sleep apnea machine. 277 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:15.279 But in truth, he wasn't a man who got sick. 278 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.680 He was you know, he was hid, blow and gun, 279 00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.640 so to speak. You know, he was other than a 280 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.079 few little ailments that were all under control, he was 281 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.160 fine until he met Celeste. And then after he as 282 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.839 Celeste move in, he started going to the hospital constantly 283 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:41.480 being rushed there, starflighted, you know, ambulance rides whatever, constantly 284 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:42.480 going to the hospital. 285 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.960 And what was the dynamic with the two daughters and 286 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:52.359 Big Daddy and Celeste? What was characterized Not to give 287 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.119 too much away too early here, but what was that 288 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.960 dynamic like for everybody? According to we'll say the girl, 289 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:05.000 their their perspective, What was it like this new experience 290 00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:05.400 for them? 291 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.240 Well, Allegedly, Christina when she first met him couldn't stand 292 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.039 him because he was this old, old, you know, obese guy, 293 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.559 and she didn't want her mother with him. Allegedly, she 294 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:26.319 grew to love him. Jennifer when she met him, and 295 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.200 she she did not really meet him until her father 296 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:35.200 committed suicide and she was just brought home, you know 297 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:39.240 when I say brought home, brought to Austin, and they 298 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:43.079 didn't like each other at first. I got the feeling 299 00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:51.079 that Jennifer and Steve began or you know, developed a relationship. 300 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.839 What the truth is about Christina and Steve, I'm not sure. 301 00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:59.799 And court she portrayed it is that they grew close 302 00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:04.119 and that she was he was her dad because he 303 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:10.000 wanted to adopt them, and his attorney and other people 304 00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:12.920 advised him not to because this was when they were 305 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.359 about fifteen. They were saying, look, they're going to turn 306 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:19.160 eighteen soon. Don't do that. And then he changed his 307 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:24.359 will and he said, I'm adopting them, and even if 308 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:27.319 the adoption is not completed by the time I die, 309 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:31.599 they're still supposed to be treated as my children. And 310 00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:36.119 he totally embraced them and loved them and wanted to 311 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:40.359 be there for him. Even Becky grew to love them, 312 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.160 and that after Steve died and she got to know 313 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:48.240 the children, the twins. I don't know how it ended up, 314 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:53.000 but at one point she made the twins some of 315 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:54.599 the beneficiaries of her. 316 00:21:54.599 --> 00:22:01.839 Will you tell the story of Steve Beard being admitted 317 00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:06.559 into the hospital and at the same time as he's 318 00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:10.000 rushed to emergency with something I guess you know, life threatening, 319 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.960 his wife is picking out her own birthday president. So 320 00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:15.960 tell us the story of the car lot. 321 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:23.519 Well, what is said to have happened is that Celeste 322 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:25.279 would want to go out and party and do her 323 00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:31.160 own thing. So Steve loved to drink cheap vodka, and 324 00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:34.400 she would switch out his vodka with Everclear, which has 325 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:37.319 a higher proof, to knock him out. And then on 326 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.480 top of that, she would you know, slip him sleeping 327 00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:43.240 pills so that he would then pass out and she 328 00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:46.480 could go out and do what she wanted.

And so the next day, after 361 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:12.599 they put him to bed again, I think at like 362 00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:14.960 five o'clock in the morning, when he was found wandering 363 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.160 around in the house, she got up and said, let's 364 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.400 go buy me a Cadillac for my birthday. So they 365 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:24.599 went and picked out a Cadillac. She and the girls 366 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:30.359 came home. Steve was still passed out. So after buying 367 00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.240 the Cadillac, and we're talking many many hours since you know, 368 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.279 he had gotten so ill, they called EMS got him 369 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.480 rushed to the hospital. She and the kids stood in 370 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:44.880 front of the Cadillac to kind of hide it so 371 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:47.559 that Steve wouldn't see it through his blurry eyes as 372 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:52.039 he was hauled out of the house. And then he 373 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:55.119 got to the emergency room. He was already by then 374 00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:58.799 coming out of the stupor and was doing okay and 375 00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:02.640 stee so listed. Now I can't come pick him up 376 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:05.039 right now, I've got things to do. So she made 377 00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:07.400 him wait a few hours, and then I believe she 378 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:10.039 went and picked him up in the Cadillac and said, oh, 379 00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:13.720 by the way, you need to send a check to 380 00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:17.279 the car dealership because I haven't paid for this, And 381 00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:20.599 she drove the Cadillac for a few weeks and decided 382 00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:23.880 she didn't like it after all and gave it to 383 00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:28.400 her daughters, who then proceeded to get so many speeding 384 00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:30.920 tickets that Steve took the Cadillac away from them too, 385 00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:34.799 But that was of the list. 386 00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:40.480 Now included with this behavior, this successive behavior, and again 387 00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:47.079 this very spoiled brat entitled behavior that she's exhibiting. She's 388 00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:51.720 depressed as well. So tell us about how she becomes 389 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.759 to be in institutionalized and where she meets Tracy Charlton. 390 00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.839 But how does it come that she is going into 391 00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:02.960 a hospital of what are the conditions? 392 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:08.960 Well, there are like numerous explanations of this. One is 393 00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:13.680 that she and Steve were fighting over money, and this 394 00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:16.640 is the generally accepted one that they present in court 395 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:20.119 because he would realize how much money she was going 396 00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:23.119 through and said, you've got to stop this, and she 397 00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:27.200 got upset and you know, threatened to kill herself. So 398 00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:32.119 she was initutionalized. Another theory is that and this is 399 00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:37.119 the one that Celess says, her mother and stepfather had 400 00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:41.319 moved to Texas and we're living I think in one 401 00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:46.599
