In June 2018, Tristan Beaudette and his brother-in-law Scott McCurdy had left their wives in Orange County to embark on a final camping trip together before Tristan and his wife Erica relocated to the Bay Area. Their home for the night \u2026Malibu Creek State Park, near beautiful Malibu Beach. After a night by the campfire, Beaudette and McCurdy went to their respective tents and settled in for bed. Already asleep inside the separate tents were their most treasured possessions: Scott\u2019s two boys, ages 3 and 5 and Tristan\u2019s daughters, 2 and 4. Sometime after 1 in the morning on June 22, 2018, Scott was awakened by what he thought were fireworks. Then he heard Tristan\u2019s daughters crying. Scott told his boys to stay put while he went to Tristan\u2019s tent to investigate. There, he saw Tristan lying face down in the center of the tent and his daughters huddled together, crying. Tristan\u2019s face was covered in blood.\xa0\n\nGiven Malibu\u2019s reputation as a safe beach town, nobody believed Tristan\u2019s murder was a random act of violence. The community was shocked after an arrest was made and law enforcement alleged there was a monster in the Malibu Hills killing indiscriminately.\xa0\n\nFollow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!\n\nSponsors\nHelloFresh: Visit HelloFresh.com/50MURDERISH and use code 50 MURDERISH for 50% off + free shipping.\nRocket Money: Visit RocketMoney.com/MURDERISH to cancel unwanted subscriptions and manage your money the easy way.\nZocDoc: Visit ZocDoc.com/MURDERISH and download the free app. Then find and book a top-rated doctor today.\n\nCrimeCon 2023: Visit CrimeCon.com and use code MURDERISH for 10% off a Standard Badge.\n\nDirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime - Listen on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dirty-money-moves-women-in-white-collar-crime/id1619521092.\n\nTrendVETTERS: Listen on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trendvetters/id1682586524.\n\nWant to advertise on this show?
