The SWFA video is from 1:58AM to 2:04AM. The church video shows the killer breaking into the church at 3:50AM. That is about 1 hour 45 minutes between the two videos. Investigators at the time, said they did not believe there was a link between the two. Only that that person is a POI who they would like to talk to.
Not a POI.
(we all need to refresh our memories on so much! yikes!)
5-20-16 MPD presser, Chief Kevin Johnson speaking:
"...The last remaining lead involves a car that pulls into the SWFA sporting
goods parking lot [unintelligible 00:03:45] approximately 2:00 A.M. They're
seen pulling into the parking lot and leaving just a few minutes later. We
believe that car is a 2010 to 2012 Nissan Altima. It's light in color, possibly
silver. It's hard to tell. As you remember, it was raining that morning. Let
me emphasize, though, we don't have any reason whatsoever to believe that
this car or its driver are in any way involved in the murder of Missy Bevers.
In the interest of following up on every possible lead, this is the last lead
that hasn't been exhausted from that video canvassing. We'd like to talk to
the driver of that car, and they can contact us at our established tip line or
our non–emergency number. But again, we don't believe this is the vehicle
of the killer; we don't believe that there's necessarily any connection to the
[unintelligible 00:04:30]. It's well over an hour before the killer is believed
to have come onto the scene at the church and it's arguable how visible the
church may have been seen from that business on the morning when it was
raining. It's simply just an unfinished lead that we'd like to talk to that
person and see if they have anything to add to the investigation. ..."
