Beckett Jr. stated he met Tracy at Hermosa Beach on the day of her disappearance and they went bowling before he took her to the apartment he shared with his father, Robert Beckett Sr. He and Beckett Sr. subsequently raped and tortured Tracy for three days, and then killed her together by strangling and beating her. He than dumped her body in a rural area in Riverside or Orange County, California, but he could not remember the exact location.
Beckett Sr. was finally convicted of her murder in 1995. He also confessed to murdering a Florida woman in 1983, in which another man had been wrongfully convicted.
Both Becketts are now serving life in prison for her murder. Tracy's remains have never been found.
