Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So I'm here with Nancy Glass, host of the show
Burden of guelt. This was one of my favorite podcasts
in the last few years. Can you remind us a
little bit about the story.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well, this is a story of a woman who grew
up knowing that her baby brother died when he was
four months old and she was two, but never knowing
what really happened, and really wanting to learn what happened,
but every time she asked her parents, they would punish her,
they would beat her, and she grew up in this

(00:33):
terrible household. And then finally, as a teenager, she finally
gets a hold of the police report from that night
when her brother died, and the police report says mother
says two year old threw baby out of crib and
killed him, And she thinks, did I kill my brother

(00:57):
when I was two? Could have really happened? And what
happens after that is the most incredible story, all these
twists and turns to find out what really happened that
night and why she carries this burden and why she
no longer does well.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Congratulations on getting the series turned into a docuseries. Paramount
Plus has picked it up for fans of the show.
What will people find in the documentary that's a little
bit different than the podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Well, I think they will first of all, see the
characters involved, and then you will see Tracy Riquel's father,
the murderer.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I mean that's huge because Tracy Riquel's father was ultimately
found guilty of killing her brother, and you guys didn't
get him to participate in the podcast. So you're saying,
we're actually going to see him in the documentary.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yes, they will. They will see this man who was
in his day considered suave, and this person is not
how you would have pictured them to look, and the
abuse that he heaped on people is unreal.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Wolf in Sheep's clothing, for sure.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's funny. The best criminals are the ones who can
kind of hide their psychopathology. You know.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
It's like all these people on Betrayal who just both
faced liars, and I always say the scariest part of
these people is how normal they can appear. And I
think the visuals here will help you understand the entire
story a lot better.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Absolutely, And so much of this story takes place in
the courtroom. I imagine we're going to see some of
that in the documentary.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Oh yeah, you're going to see some incredible courtroom footage,
the craziest accusations and testimony. And again, you got to
see it to believe it.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I remember when I was listening to the podcast. You
just form a relationship with Tercy Raquel in her journey
and then to be able to see it on this
screen as a whole other experience. So I'm really excited
for that. So congratulations.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
You know, Tracy Raquel is a remarkable person, and she's
never thought of herself as a victim, but I think
she now sees that in all the things she did,
she helped herself as well as her brother. She always
had her brother in mine, a four month thought she
doesn't even remember. But she has a beautiful family. She

(03:43):
is a beautiful person inside and out. And while this
has been very hard for her, I think it's been
very cathartic for her, and I hope after the documentary
airs it will be even better for her. But she's
somebody I admire so much.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
It's amazing. Beginning February fourth, you can watch The Burden
of Guilt docuseries on Paramount Plus
