I think "exploring the unexplored" makes more sense than doubling down on chasing harder in wrong directions (SWFA video) or "already scrutinized to the minutest detail" directions (CCoC video). But to each his own. And if I was LE with their resources, I'd focus time on other videos they have.

Agreeing w nearsouth (TYVM) post -- the outfit disguises SP's gender, or at least leaves SP gender open for discussion.
Annnnnnnnddddd the outfit also offered other benefits to SP.
As others posted earlier, the head to toe outfit gives coverage that helps reduce chances for SP's DNA to be left behind by SP shedding skin cells, head hair, arm hair, etc.
As others posted before, if the outfit is padded or has body armor features, and if SP & MB - or anyone - got into a physical altercation, padding/BA would help reduce chances of other person leaving bruises, cuts, swelling, etc on SP's body, observable by LE, fam, friends as evd of involvement.
'All that trouble?' In planning a break-in (for what-ev original purpose was, whether stealing church prop, robbing anyone SP might come across, verbally confronting MS specifically, physically assualting MB, killing her, or ????) SP might have assessed above advantages as outweighing poss disadvantage (spending $ on outfit, outfit hindering gait, etc). As always, JM2cts, could be wrong.

I've played many of the Resident Evil video games over the decades. The main story is about a powerful shady corporation experimenting with a t-virus which turns people and animals into homicidal mutants/zombies. It gets out of control and government specialists are sent in to clean up etc.
You usually play survivors or investigators of the outbreaks. The meandering, casual way the SP acted is not how I would expect someone to LARP (live-action-role-play) if they really were playing one of the STARS team or a survivor of a mini zombie apocalypse. Besides, who the heck would LARP by themselves? It's a social activity.
I really don't see any connection to this murder case, nor how the SP's actions being caught on video would intentionally make LEO look bad.
If they already know the identity of car and driver, receiving such "tips" on identity of car and driver would cost them no time whatsoever. Any incoming tip that "X might be the car" simply and quickly gets discarded, because they already know the answer. And such a choice would neither undermine MPD's integrity (as they said CLEARLY and REPEATEDLY right up front that they have "no reason whatsoever" to link this person to the crime), while also serving to get the SM busybodies out of their hair, leaving them chasing something that won't get in MPD's way or make them spend time.
Maybe the answer is some sort of mutant/zombie? No one has suggested that one before! hehe JK
I think he is a security guard that wanted to be a cop, but couldn't because of his physical shortcomings. So, he's mad at cops and wanted to make them look bad as he played out his fantasy of being a SG in the game RE. He knew the video would make the news afterwards, even without the murder he wasn't planning. He couldn't just run, the police station isn't very far away.
I believe he lives not very far from the church, maybe 10-15 miles. He's a loner that works nights somewhere that he has to drive by the church to get to.
Cool, so what do ya got for us do discuss?

BBM - If the theory is she surprised him and he had to keep her from calling the cops...in that outfit, he WAS the cops. A simple get down command to her would have made it appear he was a SWAT member searching the place for something. No?
Great points. The idea that SP would have been open to be known, or be physically vulnerable, in ANY possibility for the break-in just doesn't make sense, so the costume really doesn't eliminate any of the base scenarios. It could be targeted or not, burglary or not, physical confrontation planned or not. We do gain the knowledge that the break-in was planned not impulsive, and that SP was the type of person who planned things out.
I don't know who did this but the SWAT gear, it seems, would better prevent receipt of wounds from a victim fighting for her life. That would seem to point in the direction of a premeditated murder rather than an interrupted burglary. On the other hand, if Boudy's theory is right, and a burglar was acting out a game fantasy and murdered an unexpected person, then who knows who it could be. On the other other hand, however, could a random interrupted burglar be so lucky as to get away without being better ID'd on camera, without being seen by the workout campers, without dripping water in the hallways? Evidence has me leaning to premeditated, planned murder.

In regard to the SWAT costume I have wondered if perp was attempting to cast suspicion toward someone else in MBs social circle. If a targeted murder then disguise, deception, rage seem to be on the list of perps approach to the murder. IMO perp wouldn't just pull that SWAT costume idea randomly as others have mentioned. Maybe just another possibility to add to list of why that costume. JMOO

Agreed 110% percent. There is such a thing as over planning, and I think that will be SPs downfall. I don't even remember what I was doing exactly 24 hrs ago, no way I could remember what I was doing at 3 am the night of the murder. LEs probably reinterviewing people and see who is sticking to their EXACT story and watching them... all JMO

CG tracks every person in attendance. You sign in with your phone # and I think it's a code you set, can't remember. But, I'm sure MPD has pulled records from CG for her camps. JMO
I know trainers were told not to speak to media or anyone else about it. Media were then calling trainers pretending to be concerned campers after it happened.
Still stick to the fact I think it's targeted...IMO if it was someone against CG, more precautions would be taken in regards to trainers setting up early in the AM by themselves. JMO

There was too much going right for this NOT to be well-planned out.They appear and disappear like a ghost and no one sees them come or go? That takes planning. No one turns them in for a cool $50K.
There is nothing left no where that we can trace to anyone? Or may be there is and LE doesn’t have the other side of the puzzle piece.
No one any where in any of MB’s vaults of SM and communication indicates that he/she is mad enough at her that they might go after her. She doesn’t tell BB (they talked twice right before the murder). They keep their anger completely to themselves and not say anything to anyone, before or after. They take out a muscular fitness queen, while they look smallish (5’2-5’7), feminine, "unathletic". I’m very open to there being a small gun involved.
I agree with several here (and posted similarly, but not eloquently, yesterday). We need to get a little farther away. We have quite a bit of video to know what SP looks and moves like. And after 10 months, it’s not one of them. It’s someone:
1.That got mad at her earlier (months or even ayear or more ago) and held the grudge (and let it simmer, even grow). Widen the net from a timeline stand point.
2.From outside Midlothian. Austin? Ellis County? Mexico? Where else is she directly or indirectly connected? Widen the net geographically beyond Midlo.
3.Done on behalf of someone else.There are candidates that have expressd anger, or had a motive to be angry, but don’t fit the video.The word “hit” seems to freak a lot of people out.Help someone out or make some money.Take care of a problem for someone. We have to leave that door open. Widen the net on how many layers there were.
So to answer an earlier question of where do we go from here? I agree and think we go a little further out than we’ve been.

She could have surprised the SP and asked to see a badge, then he freaked out.

Exactly. I think the notion that MPD emphatically stated that the Altima is not involved in MB's case is absurb. Am I supposed to believe that MPD, during one of a handful of conferences on the MB case, shows us a picture of the Altima and then summarily declares that car is unrelated to the case? Why would LE do that? It's 100% nonsensical.
Also, MPD has repeatedly stated on their FB page that the driver of the Altima has not yet come forward. Also, when Ezrah and Mimi brought the SWFA video to light in December, MPD made no statement that the Altima situation had been resolved. In fact, LE stated that their previously released still was the best chance for someone to identify the vehicle. At that time, MPD implied once again that the driver and car have yet to be identified. Has something come to light since that time that I have missed?
Speaking of LE's statement about the still being the best chance for someone to identify the Altima, I am reminded of another questionable LE statement. LE stated that they were not going to release the rest of the CCoC video because it is more of the same. However, BB told us earlier on in the investigation that he viewed "tape" where he saw SP holstering a tool. He claimed that it was a movement that the public had not seen. I am a staunch supporter of LE, but I am beginning to have some serious reservations about the handling of this case.
I think with their technology that they may know who is in the car...(maybe) but they need this car for evidence inside the car. IMO....not sure yet. Just because LE hasn't arrested this perp doesn't mean we have missed anything. It's possible that they do know who did this but just not enough evidence to convict. We could have discussed the perp who did this months ago but LE has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Honestly, we don't have much to go on. Just my thoughts...

1 That's EXACTLY what they did. It can't be denied, because it's fact. Direct quote from LE: "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." They actually made the very point more than once, just to make it clear.
2 As for why they did that, the obvious answer it that they didn't want the public to think this was the perp's car, when that wasn't what they were saying and when they saw "no reason whatsoever" to believe it.
