In the months after Alyssa Burkett was murdered, she appeared to her mother, Teresa Collard, in a dream. ALYSSA BURKETT (video): Hi everyone, my name's Alyssa. So this past year, I have been going through a custody battle. A very ugly one. I have a 1-year-old child. It's taken a toll on my mental and physical health. … With that being said, I've become a lot stronger in the process. … And I guess just my message is no matter what you're going through, stick it out. You can do it. And stay strong. "Come over while I walk inside"
Teresa Collard: I see her across the room and in my dream — I knew she was gone but I was hysterically happy that I was seeing her and I was thinking "you're back." "Lock the door behind you"
Teresa Collard: She came to me and said, no, I'm not back. And I don't want to come back and I never want to be there again. I was puzzled why don't you want to come back and she said, because I was always afraid there." "Do you see anyone around you"
